From Rod Harmon of the Herald Tribune:
Among prog-metal lovers, the Sarasota-Bradenton band Crimson Glory is semi-legendary, a rival to Queensryche and Tool -- especially in Europe, where its out-of-print albums are highly sought collectors' items.
It's been six years since the band released its last album, and 16 years since it performed with its classic lineup.
That will change in 2006, when CG celebrates the 20th anniversary of its first album with reissues of its back catalog, new releases of rare audio and video, and live performances, says founder/guitarist Jon Drenning.
"There's a tremendous amount of loyal fans around the world who love this band, and they're making it possible for this to happen, because they keep demanding more material from Crimson Glory," Drenning said.
Drenning has reassembled original members Midnight (lead vocals), Ben Jackson (guitar) and Jeff Lords (bass). The drummer has yet to be announced.
The reunion will include:

Taunting_Cobra - 12/4/2005 7:14:18 AM They shouldn't have broken up the first place, but i think it's cool they are getting back together and that suits me just fine.

rexrolan - 12/1/2005 5:53:59 PM Hey Blobber, How do I get the smell of your mommas pussy off my dick?
zephreak - 11/30/2005 5:11:06 PM Strange and Beautiful had a couple decent tunes and was a well produced and great sounding record, but kinda cheesy. I hope their next effort brings back the sharp and mystic quality that this band had so long ago.

Stubbleduck - 11/30/2005 12:17:25 PM i still listen to Transcendence today! that album fuckin rules!
unholy33 - 11/30/2005 10:42:18 AM I've wondered for years what happened to them! Glad to see they're coming back. Where the hell can I get their old albums?
sgtB - 11/30/2005 7:18:16 AM Hell-Fuckin'-Yeah ! ! ! Please come to Houston Texas and show this town how to ROCK!
Reddog1 - 11/30/2005 4:48:45 AM I still listen to their first album today. It's the only one I have, but, I still listen to it.
rblars78 - 11/29/2005 10:34:21 PM Who the hell are these guys? Never heard of them.
fizzgig - 11/29/2005 9:57:07 PM Those first two albums were power/prog metal for people who don't like power/prog metal.
HPL - 11/29/2005 9:24:31 PM HOLY FUCK! SUPERB! Their first two albums and twelve inch single were some of the best metal releases of the late 80's. And John Drenning was a phenomenal guitarist. Very distinctive solos, which, in the shred-fest that was the 1980's, definitely set them apart. As well as Midnight's awesome singing and the image. Shame they blew it by trying to go Knob Rock with 'Strange and Beautiful' in 1990. But we can forget that, can't we?! That 'Locked in the Attic' track at the end of the first album used to reduce me to a quivering wreck.
