CRIMSON GLORY's official website has issued the following press release, confirming the rumours of a reunion featuring the band's original members. Read on...

"The Music. The Mystique. The Legend.

Crimson Glory.

Original band members of the legendary group, Crimson Glory, have recently began the writing process for their all new, much anticipated fifth Crimson Glory CD entitled: Metatron, Lucifer and the Divine Chaos.

Acclaimed worldwide for their legendary recording Transcendence, original Crimson Glory guitarist/song writer Jon Drenning, bassist/song writer Jeff Lords and guitarist/song writer Ben Jackson have begun the process of assembling songs to be released later this present year.

The original band members are also producing a live Crimson Glory DVD entitled Phantoms Of The Opera. The DVD will contain an entire Crimson Glory concert from 1989 featuring original vocalist, Midnight; as well as several other live concert videos and behind the scene footage from around the world during the band's Transcendence World Tour.

The original band members are also collecting a vast amount of materials from many sources for their historical 20th Anniversary Box Set to be released in early 2006. It will be entitled: Valley Of Shadows -- Kingdoms Of Light.

The historical box set will consist of many re-mastered -- and, in some cases, re-recorded -- Crimson Glory songs, as well as some previously unreleased songs, different versions of songs, demo songs, hundreds of unpublished pictures; hand written lyrics, additional behind the scene video footage; as well as an autobiography written by Jon Drenning in conjunction with Jeff Lords and original band members, Ben Jackson, Dana Burnell -- and Midnight, if he so chooses to be included in the process.

In regards to original vocalist Midnight: it is not known at this time what the extent of the original vocalist's involvement will be concerning the all new Crimson Glory CD, as he is presently disposed in Europe for a short tour promoting his long overdue solo CD, entitled Sakada, to be released soon.

FYI: the name Midnight chose to title his solo CD, Sakada, is a derivation of the word 'cicada' which comes from the same name for an insect that burrows below ground only to come out once every 17 years...

Midnight has expressed interest several times to band members, on www.crimson-glory.com, as well as in recently published statements by several media outlets, that he is sincerely interested in recording a new Crimson Glory CD. However, while he remains interested in recording songs for the all new Crimson Glory CD, he has yet to say if he will ever perform live with the legendary group again.

Nevertheless, the remaining original Crimson Glory members remain dedicated to their 20th Anniversary reunion and will be diligently at work writing, composing and compiling materials for all the aforementioned projects and look forward to seeing all their wonderful fans on the road, again, in the near future!

We are forever. We are the future. Transcendence.

Stay tuned..."
