Crimson Glory - Masque of the Red Death

[mikehawk69]

hey dudes ....ROCK ON!

[JJames666male]

is there a better album in the world?

[t7mackie]

@JJames666male No!

[NoHealerJustPain]

It sounds very like "Powerslave" of Iron Maiden.

[megaslaythraxica]

you can tell he says something between "fate guiding hideous hands" and "won't you show us your face". can anyone tell what he's saying? It almost sounds like "you wicked wretch" or something.

[stefhammer08]

Great song, amazing riffs, great singer, this remind me the band called SCANNER with their album Hypertrace , you guys should check out this band..

[pandapimpbabys]

3:04 SHIT GOES DOWN

[xxxxxxrockxxxxxx]

holy shit i have this record....english class helped me rediscover it haha

[CommanderCooper]

Awesome rock music, Edgar Allen Poe...

Damnation... It's like two of my favorite things combined.

[megaslaythraxica]

i fucking love these guys. this is my favorite song. i showed my friend and she said these guys were ripping off Rush. i wanted to bitch slap her for that XD these guys are amazing! RIP Midnight

[froggyluva0014]

no offense but this isnt really my style of music...but i had to read "The Masque of the Red Death" by Poe for English! the story is pretty good though!

[Chon12490]

@froggyluva0014 haha well some songs are really good summaries of stories or poems. One of my teachers once used Iron Maiden's song "the rime of the ancient mariner" instead of the studying the actual poem...the poem itself is ridiculously long anyways to understand.

[jesterbass]

@Chon12490 :-) cool teacher you had there

[stubbleduck72]

I still have this cd. It freakin rocks!

[MiAmMiJah]

The snaredrum sounds horrible...

Shame.

[axelorde]

saw these guys in kansas city at a small venue ,was an awesome show,Midnights vocals were piercing...rest in peace Midnight.........\,,/>.<\,,/

[MasterofGuitarsolos]

anyways this is one of the best albums ever.

[MasterofGuitarsolos]

IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING

[Velocity4000fps]

I hear a little queensryche in the singers voice.

[EoVulnero]

I like the fact that Midnight's voice is soo recognizable and special!!

Love the book... Love the story...Love the song...

[KingCliffBurton]

this is like Iron Maiden meets Rush meets Rainbow

[SpartanUnDead]

Wow, the edgar allan poe story?

[TheRockAndRollDoll]

Masque, Masque Of The Red DEATH!! <3 (8) (:

[BigishJim1]

i just found this band and im glad i did does anybody know of any other good bands that were underated or just never found radio play???? i know of W.A.S.P. king kobra, letherwolf, and a few others

[danophile07]

@BigishJim1 try rough cutt, and teh first album of white lion im heavy into the less commercial 80's metal bands especially teh hair metal bands they have something more raw about them

[supmayne1]

@BigishJim1 WASP arent underrated lol... I mean if you barely scratch the surface of metal WASP shows up

[Chon12490]

@BigishJim1 you should really try powermad, Gogmagog, Uriah Heep they kinda remind me of UFO. And if havn't heard of Lizzy Borden or the recent band Hibria they are both a must.

[BlekiAzrael]

@BigishJim1 Uriah Heep underrated?

[Vaekkrinhart]

@BigishJim1 Barren Cross.. atomic arena or state of control cds.. Their self-titled,1st release has a few good songs on it, a well; but Atomic Arena is a classic.. just killer!

[zephyrous87]

@BigishJim1 Jag Panzer,Titan Force,Manilla Road,Medieval Steel,Omen,Warlord,Fates Warning,Savatage,Arryan Path,Steel Angel,Bal Sagoth,Riot,Mercyful Fate...you have enough to study!Cheers!

[KDiamondheadMF]

@BigishJim1 Warlord, The E.F. band, Omen, Fastway, Keel, Prett Maids, Metal Church, Virgin Steele, Witch Cross, Angelwitch, Diamond Head, Coven, Sword, Storm Witch, that should be plenty for now haha

[wcdjoey]

@BigishJim1 I loved this band back in my rocker days and Powermad was one that listened to alot also. You might also try Fifth angel, sanctuary, And if you have'nt yet, listen to operation mind crime from queensryche it is truly one of the great rock operas.

[keithii84]

@BigishJim1 try yngwie malmsteen he doesn't sing but he is arguably one of the greatest guitarists ever

[Dagger555]

bought this album on vinyl today

[santyrush]

this song is absolutly amazing and great.... fantastic music.......

[sjoukje1000]

could somebody upload Lady of winter

[axeofgod72]

read the story by e.a. poe, and then you will understand what it all means.

can you say... aids? the red death. it all ties together. brilliant.

[Insaingel]

This is one cool album. Love the cover art.

Red Sharks is my favourite track, but it's all bloody great. =D

[rushkagon]

Man this guy can really sing.

Harkens back to a time when metal had proper vocalists before the honey monsters came in.

I have their first two LPs. Anyone heard their third Strange and Beautiful with Indian drummer Ravi Jaghothia?

[FusekiGames]

I've got it. It's an acquired taste for many CG fans. Some have even gone as far to say that it's their "Cold Lake" (referring to Celtic Frost's "hair metal" album). I dig a lot of the album, but Midnight sounds like he's struggling on a few of the songs; trying to find his way. Those songs are a bit cringe-worthy, but the album is nowhere the disaster it was made out to be.

R.I.P. Midnight...

[MrRogerFloyd]

somebody have tabs or something for guitar!!! they are great!

[rushkagon]

As for Crimson Glory its easy to make the Maiden connection and i bought the first two LPs when they came out in 1987 and 1988.

I saw them at my local club in Reading supporting Kreator in 1989 which i thought was unfair as both bands couldnt be further apart(although i am a fan of both).

Best song? In Dark places coz it reminds me of Zeppelin's Kashmir! Oh well nuff said.

[rushkagon]

I never really got Maiden. They were always second best to U.F.O. and Priest who in my opinion were superior.

But what Maiden ripped off from those bands they turned into big business.

And today its business that counts more than originality which is what Maiden have never ever had.

They are plagiarists, very good plagiarists thats all.

[cergeantbeanie]

@rushkagon GOD! you SURE as hell didn't get 'Maiden if you're talkin' all that baby-back bullshit... no offense, but have you even dug any than The Number Of The Beast and Run To The Hills...?

[rockpop1]

a band like maiden doesnt do musick for money they have enough money today for all their lives so why the hell they still doing gigs today? they doing music for the fans cuz 1 they have now the ed foce air plane so they can do gigs in all over the world and 2 they been in almost all over the world even in india if thats not a good reason play for the fans so i dont know what is and about this band i just found them today and damn they are awesome

[rushkagon]

I dont really care for Maiden, never have really.

I am more of a Priest man, they are the innovators and opened up the entire metal genre to thrash, glam, industrial etc.

J.Priest forever!

[PijnigeR]

@rushkagon I agree!

[maidenfans]

R.I.P

[thebillandmikeshow]

Edgar Allan Poe would be proud of them.

[gamehero77]

haha! I wonder how Edgar Allen Poe would react if he heard this song? great song!!

[rockpop1]

i bet that he is like damn even after 200 hundred years im still the best lol

[MadisonInChains]

that 2:05 riff. I swear the Scott Morris gave this album to Chuck and Death's later albums started. It sounds like your typical Death riff.

[jcdenton7]

Just for the record, I went and compared Powerslave and this song with my ears, and the riffs are actually noticeably different. They just sound similar. Overall, this song sounds totally different than Powerslave anyway.

[cergeantbeanie]

@jcdenton7 it's the sound quality fo this video that makes it sound anything alike... they really are two completely different songs... both great by the way...

[jcdenton7]

The vocal delivery and riff around 3.10 is almost identical to Iron Maiden's song "Powerslave."

[Chon12490]

Even though they sound alike i am and always be a fan of both.

[jcdenton7]

Yeah, I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I like IM, and I'm probably going to buy some Crimson Glory albums here soon. They're both great bands.

[Struturinn]

@jcdenton7 holy shit, same tempo and everything.

[hadedorus]

@jcdenton7 True...

[dngl21]

@jcdenton7 The beginning is almost identical to Bark at the moon by Ozzy, and the lead singer sounds kind of like Geddy Lee from Rush. lol

[EoVulnero]

@dngl21Don't bother my friend!..you may find similitude in Ozzy's work (+ Black Sabbath's of course if not mostly..:)) with...almost hundreds of artists..

About this 1...in my opinion what you 're saying isn't totaly imaginary..maybe..sounds like it for the very first secs...than you 'll notice the absentee 'enormous' bass

p.s'Transcendence'' album has very specific style+sound of music,I think that maybe if it is been heared as a set..,songs to me only looks similar with this assigned sound

[dngl21]

@EoVulnero fair enough. 

[joshmattg]

@dngl21 hmm with more roughness and aggression behind it yeah, plus midnight sounds more possessed too ;)

[joshmattg]

@jcdenton7 this doesnt remind me of powerslave at all

[Testaneticaband]

@jcdenton7 I totally agree. Crimson Glory kicks ass! :P

[MaRaX93]

@jcdenton7 thats an egyptian tune,its not copyrighted by iron maiden or any other band...like the oriental tune

[L0RDKS]

Good shit!!!!

[666superrob]

Midnight will be in our hearts 4ever...... RIGHT !!??? METALLERS ??!!

[Heavymetalpower666]

[poweruserGR]

[narsilbearer]

Rest in Peace Midnight !

[oldthrashhead]

Such an amzing band/music/singer.

Shit, they don't make them like this anymore......mores the pity. :-(

Cheers for the upload dude.

[keezzzzzz]

I wonder where the other amazing songs from the album "Trancendence" have been here, like "In dark places". Have they all been removed?

[scrumdown2007]

I fookin LOVE 'In Dark Places' it's truly an ANTHEM

err allegedly, I may have to do a bit of, ahem vid editing ;) wink ;)

[keezzzzzz]

Yes, indeed this song is based on the short story bij Edgar Allen Poe.

[iliketwizzlers]

is this song based of the poe short story?

[warlockguitarmetal]

Crimson Glory is amazing. I'm glad you took the time to upload this. Many thanks.

[Chon12490]

Thanks I uploaded this song and others so people could have more influence off the good underrated bands.

[warlockguitarmetal]

I am very glad you did...

Again, many thanks. ^_^

[Faust1908]

COLOSSAL

[PennyDreadful1]

Metal bands are obsessed with this sorta stuff

[kanadaze]

...and I MUST be an uneducated fuck for missing the "y" on my word, "yours" while I was taking a quick sec out of my schedule to type a retort that is after all totally being marked by my proff. Sheeesh. I laugh in the face of the internet... remember arguing on the internet is like the special olympics: Even if you win you're still retarded.

[warlockguitarmetal]

Dude, it's not cool to make fun of the special olympics.

Just makes you sound like a jackass.

Now you can spend time writing another retort on how you think it is right to make fun of people with mental handicaps.

Not cool, bro.

[kanadaze]

Haaaaaahahaha I always get a kick outta the fights that start over tunes on youtube. So and so is a fag, oh yeah well... so and so can't sing, oh yeah well, my style of metal is better than ours... holy hell.

Great Tune here BTW!

[Carloguidobuffalmacc]

C'mon men, let them stupid mooods hear to shitting park.

Leave this masterpiece just for US pricks.

Fottetevi stronzi

[konxris]

absolute metal track- no wonder metal was so popular back in the 80s- from the notorious masterpiece of Edgar Allan Poe. this LP is defenitely in top 5 metal albums of alla times- glad to see that still some people recognize good music-

[sigon99]

This song goes MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETAAAAAAA­AAAL :-D

[jwj31]

rlly? cuz i thought it sounded like a lot like a bunch of gay music by sum fudgepackering queers

prog sucks!!! listen to faith no more

[DrWho85]

this ridiculous comment shows everyone what an impotent alternative rock listening virgin you are. crimson glory are an outstanding band with exceptionally well written instrumental parts. also, midnight's vocals are amongst the most difficult for anyone to replicate. his timbre and vocal range are unique, and amazing. worthless losers like yourself don't know the difference between talent and a double sided d1ldo jammed all the way up your already over stretched a33h0le!

[ESPJesus]

i totaly agree with you. if this guy would stop wasting his time leaving angry comments on music he dosnt like maybe he'd figure out that there is no better music then kick ass 80's metal and the follow ups of all the metal that came from it. like seriously he calls crimson glory queers when because of their awesome music they've gotten more pussy then this guy will ever even see on the internet. good luck on gettin a life jwj31

[BetweenYouAndLee]

I HATE 80s music get in the time and don't get left behind.

Linkin park is much better

[enwll3427]

linkin park couldn't hold these guys c*cks

[BlueCharvel]

@BetweenYouAndLee There we go, that explains it all, why would you even comment then? That would be like me hunting down any opera videos I could find just to slag them because it's not my style. Your anger only serves to highlight your ignorance and insecurity. Besides, Linkin Park has been around since '96, maybe YOU should get with the times m'man.

[my3user3isnt3stupid]

jwj31 grow a dick

[BetweenYouAndLee]

I agree this is the worst song I have ever heard. This is sounds like a bunch of screaming with random gutair notes in the back round. And the lyrics basically just say "red death WOW, FATE HANDS, WOW red death, WOW, kills all, WOW!!!!! WOW!!!!!". Seriously!!!!

[Bridge1961]

Screw you with your pathetic Linkn Park.

CG definitely is a highly skilled metalband.

If you don't like this quality metal, no problem, but don't start shouting ridiculous things like the other moron jwj31.

[ESPJesus]

Linkin park is totaly for mainstreamers and 12 year olds

CG rules the show

[stxrattbastard]

Linkin Park is for corporate sell out rock fans that only follow trends!

[MaRaX93]

its based on masque of the red death byalan edgar poe,the world famous poet you uneducated baboon...go get yourself a book!!

[athanatos1987]

read the short story Masque of the Red Death

by edgar allan poe and you will understand the meaning

[Chon12490]

I don't think the notes are random, it sounds

like some kinda Spanish gypsy guitar scale mix with a little of iron maiden's powerslave in

their main riff. The music itself sounds like

a somewhere in the genre of powermetal and progressive.

[BlackToraChannel]

@Chon12490 Your totally right bro. BetweenYouAndLee must be some kinds nu metal lover or something. This is brilliance

[Picurs]

@BetweenYouAndLee

i seriously hope you're just trolling and not talking seriously ;~~

otherwise you just show the world how unworthy you are of having the gift of hearing...

random... perhaps if you understand like, nothing about music...

[warchild027]

@BetweenYouAndLee some people born or become deaf, some people are born or become stupid. You happen to have both qualities, though I don't know if you born or became deaf, but you've definitely born stupid.

[danophile07]

@BetweenYouAndLee u dnt know shit about music you dont reslly listen to it you just judge it quickly simple as that

[BlueCharvel]

@BetweenYouAndLee One thing not to like it, opinions are opinions but it's anything but "random gutair notes"... you certainly don't have to like it but showing everyone your complete ignorance of music theory doesn't help your case whatsoever... just sayin'... "Seriously!!!!" ;-)

[theZodiacDigital]

sounds a lot like powerslave by maiden

[metallooney]

Heavy metal and Edgar Allan Poe such a great combination!!!!
