[candlytekaos]

this is awesome!!this is so perfect CG i could cry.rip midnight.

[rapanzel666]

Guys, what you did yesterday in Essen, Germany was beyond everything I've experienced so far! This was way better than the KEEP-IT-TRUE gig a week before, much more intense and some sort of "private"! I was in the first row, right next to the crazy spanish guys, screaming my lungs out! I'm so waiting for a new album in the vein of the first 2 ones!

And Todd, I'm speachless about your performance and your vocal range, this was just A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.!

Btw Jon, nice orutfit :-D

[Msmartix1]

OH YESSSSSSSSSSS! I want to meet You Todd!!! ;-)

[maurocipriano]

You and all the Crimson family, gave me music, and mailnly emotions that were fellows leading so many moments in my life I can't count them, as many as they are...

This is the music not only I've been listening to since I was little more than a child in the late 80's, but the one inspired me the feelings, I based my playing on.

Good Luck for these new beginning, I'll be there supporting and singing with you all...

Keep playing with this passion!

[Madrugazevedo]

Great

[TheDaisymaggie]

Very beautiful rendition indeed... :) I am not really into metal, but I love the voice of this guy and I love this song! Good luck Todd! Keep on rockin!... :)

[Jeffabaray]

Jon, Very well said. I too believe in the existence of that kind of guidance. I can't go for the 100% random happenings.

It certainly sounds you are now armed with the vocalist you need to wow me again!

Congratulations to the band. May your fortitude be generously rewarded.

Jeff

[Belseful]

Damn, Now I know there is a GOD :D

[leonidas6326]

hellyeah!!!

[solstice789]

I'm sure you all know how deep our thoughts are about Midnight and his vocals as well as your talents as a band. Saying that your new singer is really good. I guess as a fan Midnight, he can never be replaced as well as for you guys, but what a great talent to carry on the tradition. Record more music if and when you can.

[lithuanianpsycho]

I must admit I was expecting to probably be disappointed, but this is actually really cool. I love the way Todd is able to sing this and I'm very happy that Crimson Glory is going on.

[kai223noa]

Kinda reminds me of Rob Halford

[OsamaDigsAsimov]

Good god...i can't believe this is NOT Midnight.

[infernicide666]

Glad to see you found a new singer and I hope you guys will do a US tour and also that when you do record a new album you will get back to basics and that it will be simillar to the first 2 albums.Astronomica had some good songs but alot of it had more of a Dream Theater influence.You should see to it that the new album has the all out heaviness of the first 2 albums.

[MetalEradeGuerra]

Waiting for the US Tour

[kingfuthark]

Its excellent

however...........Let me hear "RED SHARKS" , and Ill give my FINAL opinion.

thanks

[fearsid15]

desde españa espero todo lo mejor.yo os quiero y ese cantante creoque es elideal

gracias

[TuneSmasher]

Waiting for you in Spain, Todd just hits the notes like Midnight did, all of my respect to him and you guys!

[Hag1nh0]

YES YES YES!!!!

Crimson Glory hit the spot!!!!

Great vocalist!!! We are waiting for you in Greece!!!!!!!!

[josimcd1]

REALMENTE E A BANDA QUE MUDOU AMINHA VIIIDA

ESPERO UM DIA ASSISTIR A UM SHOW DO CRIMSON GLORY NO BRASIL

DE PREFERENCIA EM BRASILIA DF!

[g4freeman]

5 minutes before I listen to the song, I would have claim that this guy should be tested in "Burning Bridges", my personal Crimson Glory favorite. But after listening to Dragon Lady...

I' M SOLD!!!

GREECE LOVES AND SUPPORTS YOU. Release a good album and we'll be at your side!

[MXP553]

The band was a massive part of the sound! you have someone who can sing the parts and still have a trade mark sound. Welcome back!

[nikossofis]

Greetings from Greece!!!!!!!!!!we wait you here in Hellas soon........

[masterofktulu11]

Awesome work! Definitely this guy is worthy of being in this band.

[dragoneyes112]

you guys deserve to continue forward. it is as if midnight has guided this amazing voice your way. best of luck and PLEASE come to Chicago!

[gatorgem06]

Sounds amazing! Im most happy for Todd. He is a long time friend and I know how good he is and how hard he has worked to finally get all he deserves!

[MaceIII]

This singer is the perfect guy to follow up Midnight. The voice sounds almost like Midnight, with the mystique-kind of quality(wich is some of CG-trade marks), the looks, long hair. etc. Wade is also a great singer, but Todd just fits in. It's like he's born for this. :)

[Darandmid]

Todd is amazing and I'm pretty sure he's the only one who could pull this off as he was surely guided by the spirit of MIdnight to do exactly what he is doing....and I'm even more certain that Midnight would be enthralled to know that His own legacy lives on due to the astounding voice of CG's new singer...Rock ON Todd!!!!

[jondrenning]

I wanted to take a moment to personally say hello and to thank our all our fans around the world - both old and new - for your loyalty, patience, and support of our music over the years. We feel Todd La Torre is an amazing singer; the perfect person to continue our legacy for many years to come. I know in my heart Midnight is smiling on us and is pleased with our selection of Todd as our new lead vocalist.

Continued...

[Musiclogic]

@jondrenning Those of us who have followed the cryptograph that has been CG for almost 30 years now, continually hope for added context and successes to come your way, and add new colours to our listening pallets. Through the passing of Midnight comes a new dawn, and hoping the light is a pathway and not another blinding state of disarray. HJC Venice, FL '80-'96

[hewey999]

@jondrenning WOw Im amazed at how close he is to Midnight, great job , Ive been a bif fan since the good old days :-)

[gammanick]

@jondrenning You are right!! It sound great!!

[5amuu]

@jondrenning I just heard you guys for the first time ever (on the radio!) yesterday, you certainly have gained a new fan.

[jondrenning]

Indeed, I believe Midnight - in his own unique, mysterious, and transcendental way - helped to guide Todd into our lives and hearts at a time when needed the most. Todd will help to propel Midnight's legacy for many years to come, while also carving his own unique path in the annals of heavy metal. We look forward to sharing all our classic songs with you on tour next year, as well as our new material in the future. "23 143 4943434. 23 143 563 475743". ~ Jon Drenning

[sabaton1976]

Cheers from Bulgaria , Jon....We eill come to see CG in Greece perhaps....there will be no dates for Bulgaria, but there is no way to miss this!!!!

[zexedearth89]

Btw Todd looks like Carlos Zema :D

They must be some kind of vocals brothers for sure :D

[rghtwngmtlhed]

mr la torre sounds incredible! as does the band (that goes without saying). begging for a new album or a tour at least. what a killer song!!

[HARDR0CKERA]

OMG!

[OuttaTheZoo]

awesome! get going on some new material. keep it like the first two though!

[chrisngracie]

Simply fucking Awesome Jon. I hope you guys put out a new album.

[blitzspeer]

@jondrenning Hello from N.Port;long time fan of Crimson Glory.Are you guy's going to hit us with a new album with Todd?It would be great;his voice seems to carry on with the C.G. sound I was used to not saying Astronomica wasn't epic because I thought it was but it was quite a leap away from the almost operatic voicing style of Midnight.Now would be a good time to jump out there with the resurgence of power and progressive metal;a fast paced astronimica but with burning bridges/Eternal world lp

[VanishingWish]

@Popaluda No, we're not deaf, which is why we can hear Todd La Torre singing here. Obviously you're deaf and somewhat brainless if you think it's Midnight. Also, this video was posted by Jon Drenning's official Youtube. I'm pretty sure he knows who's singing in his own band's song better than you do.

[PopaIuda]

are you guys deaf? The only voice that is definitely noticeable in this video is that of Midnight!

[mtlgod60]

@PopaIuda This is NOT midnight singing the lead vocals!! One can hear the difference between the two if you really know midnight's voice, but this IS the new guy singing that you hear, and that goes for all of the videos CG posted with the new guy. These tracks were stripped of the main vocals with Todd singing over the original songs, that is quoted from Drenning in the recent statements.

[deathdream2010]

Todd La Torre may not be MIDNIGHT R.I.P., but he is so on, every song I have heard this guy sing is givin me the Midnight chills.I am 41 and when I started my Vocals, Crimson Glory, Sanctuary, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Ozzy were the vocalists I aspired to be and trained to.

Crimson Glory Transcendance bought on Vinyl.The mix is perfect and the album is perfect.I've turned so many people into fans.These guys are some of the best musicians on the planet!

[ovd806]

F*cking awesome, that goes for all the songs posted. Todd is fantastic. Can't wait to see you in The Netherlands. Hope you'll play more than 1 gig overhere. Saw you for the last time somewhere in the early nineties in Arnhem during the Aardschok festival. That has been way to long ago!!!!!!! But We never stopped listening. And still the music stands, after all these years. Keep it up. You deserve it!

[VORAGO666]

VORAGO!!!

[DigitalDictator1]

I got goosebumps!!

[Leppardable]

Oh,,no,,I was wrong,,This is not Midnight,,but,,sometimes,,I confuse myself,,,

[Leppardable]

co´mon this is Mighty Midnight!!!!!!

[dragoneyes112]

no one can ever replace a vocalist especially one with the talent that Midnight had but this guy does fit in well. i don't think anyone has the emotion & passion Midnight did. Good luck guys. looking forward to new music and tour hopefully.

[panosangra]

oh yes!!!!!this is amazing, i believe todd is the ideal choise to continue midnights legacy!i just hope that they will releash a new album soon!!

[Soldier7of7Christ]

YES!!! the return of the greatest prog metal band ever! Todd has all the range and emotion of MIDNIGHT, (R.I.P.) yet subtle distinctions give him a voice all his own. An excellent singer for a superior Band... Looking forward to some new tunes.... thanks for posting this Jon!

[mofrakker]

@Soldier7of7Christ omg, i didn't know midnight had passed away. Last I heard he was doing a solo album years ago. One of the most underated bands ever.

[danophile07]

so is this guy their official new snger? and theyve recorded this with him? if so they must be thinking about doing something in the future, a tour? new album? PLEASE GOD!

[metalnet13]

WOW!!! Great Voice!!

I hope you guys get over the loss of Midnight and record a new album fast!! Playing the music we all like!! And come to Athens again soon for a headline show!!

[Faust1908]

HELL YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!­!!!!! GREEEEEECE NOOOOOWWW!!!! \m/

[DrakonsBeat]

Wicked Tigh Vocals! I'm very glad you guys are sticking with this raw and powerfull type of singing style. It makes Crimson Glory more uplifting than coffee! My heart goes out to Crimson and to Midnights family. He is missed dearly! But the Glory must continue.....

[AtorpWarrior]

What a voice!!! Didn´t think no one more than Midnight can sing like this! This version is great! Hope to see a record soon vwith this lineup!  And please come to Sweden and play then! :D Rock on!!!!

[rubzone]

MIND BLOWN..... I almost couldn't tell that it wasn't Midnight singing..... TODD YOU RIP

[Mad9977]

i dont get Goosebumps like with Midnight's Voice, but still the new singer has a great Voice and comes very close : )

[dragonladygr]

NOONE CAN BE COMPARED TO MIDNIGHT -STILL THIS MAN HAS AN IRON STEEL VOICE-WE WELCOME YOU DEAR!

[kdeselms]

He's got big boots to fill but La Torre sounds great in these, brings his own style to it while still delivering those killer highs Midnight once did. This reminds me of better days for CG - here's hoping you guys can bring them back! If you play a show in SoCal I'm there, no questions asked :)

[ConfessorRahl]

Oh man that is SCARY. He sounds... amazing! This guy will lead CG to a bright new future without the pressure of record labels of that era.

[EntropiaMusic]

I want :

a)A new cd !

b)A live dvd !

c)Come to GREECE again !!!

[starchild2012]

He's not Mighty Midnight but CHEERS TO THIS GUY!

at least a good replacement to honor one of the best voices ever!!!

Greece waits you

[chrisngracie]

WOW

[WingDiamond]

Hole-lee Crapola! This newbie kicks Total ASS! He really fills Midnight's shoes.

[Coven23]

awsome vocals!!!!!

[adamweis]

Dude, totally rocks! Gotta come experience the show live. Congratulations!

[pricoss]

Omg! we from brazil like the new lead vocalist!!!!

[thunderdoom1980]

this guy sounds real good!

[dalmatian69]

Welcome back.

[nognir616]

OMG! Has that Midnight resurrected?

[Yiannis2112]

He is good, very good! He has the voice & the looks. Excellent choice guys! I hope for a new era for the band. Its been so long

[imagestic]

HOLY SHIT!!!

I got goosebumps!

Come to Greece IMMEDIATELY

[r0ckfreak666666]

WOW !!!...best replacement for the Ultimate God Midnight RIP ...his voice is really close to Midnight ..glad to hear Crimson Glory will be back metal needs this epic band !!!!..THANKS GUYS !!!!!!hope you come to Greece and see you once again live !!!

[SkepticsUniverse2]

Goddamn. Don't think they could have hardly picked a better new vocalist!

[The1WhoKnowsTheTruth]

John Patrick McDonald (RIP) will always be #1 in my heart and no one will ever come close to his greatness. I am liking this new kid though, if he gets this awesome band back on track in 2010 (and beyond) and he is a singer that takes care of himself, I am all for it. Welcome back Crimson Glory!

[0909cinderella92]

midnight was one of the best frontmen ever...todd is a very good singer,but this song has written for mightnight...no one like you  rip

[panoobas]

very nice!

[ironmetalhead21]

very nice choice for singer

Todd is great but Midnight was the real legend

[slikkar]

I tought it was Midnight.....pretty similar......good 4 the band...underarted band...

[DoomchildXXL]

I think it's pretty creepy how much they sound alike.

[TheRimeOfIcarus]

Crimson Glory fucking kicks my ass inside out!

[Opuskrokus]

Damn!

[jrjacques]

Good luck to Crimson Glory! Midnight legacy will lives through Todd La Torre's voice!

[MidnightMasque]

FREAKING LIKE IT!!!!

Waiting for the new album!!!

[TheGrimSweaper]

Jon, will the new material go hand in hand with the old? But up to date of course. Try to make it over to Sweden when you guys tour. Great choice in singer. We want a lot of haunting screams alá Mid on the new songs, you know that right?:)

Stay metal and cheers!

[TheGrimSweaper]

@andreasremoundos80

Clone? Are u deaf? He is a mix of Black & Midnight. He is the perfect fit for Crimson Glory. Midnight was the best metal vocalist ever! But u can´t awake the dead right.

Crimson Glory ventures into the future with a singer who knows how the old material should be sung. Fans that never got the chance to see Midnight live (me included) will here get the next best thing. And I am sure that their new songs will sound like the old but up to date.

Stay metal and screaaaaaaaaaam!

[thedddemon]

Sounds increible! Sounds just like Midnight!!!

[markototev]

A mixture between Midnight and Wade. Mixed feelings, I was expecting Wade to unleash his awesomeness in the new CG album that is due to come out sometime in 2112.

[TheEternalSuffering]

Excellent choice!Hope to see you live in Greece when the new album is released!
