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...
This is just flat out SHOCKING!! I mean damn,...I know these songs so well and to hear Todd cover it is just jaw dropping. Not only does he get the technical aspects of these songs,..he even nails the "spirit" of the songs. Freakin' A! I just cant get over how stunning this is.
Todd La Torre, what an amazing musician..Re tracking Crimson Glory and bringing Queensryche back to the frontline, is there anything that man can't do..Keep it up brother
Now this new cat Todd, he is one of a few that is able to get into that sacred place that Midnight found so effortlessly and practically made look and sound easy, it is not. Welcome back CG and all the best with your new found singer to carry on the legacy. These songs need to be heard as they are timeless and will never die, just as Midnight did not really die he lives in every true CG fan. The end is not the end.
holy crap where did this guy come from? what a kick ass job of keeping midnights emotion and high notes without sounding cheesy. ive loved these guys for twenty years i cant believe there back. i never could figure out why they didnt get huge with their talent and songwriting and so many crappy talentless bands did. use to piss me off to know end. i still remember seeing them on the sunset strip with their masks totally awesome
My dearest Jon I've been a fan since day one, you were blessed to have two amazing, words can't describe, out of this world vocalists, get yourself a third one of this level and get down to work, please, what you have created has become a legend, we want more, love you!
We have been waiting for what feels like a lifetime for this . Now is the time to look forward . You always were unique and I have no doubt your greatest work is yet to come . Todd sounds amazing . We believe in you guys .
My favorite song ever! Unfrigginbelievable!!!! Always loved Midnight's voice, this is nice to see that there is a person who can keep his music going!!
@jondrenning your music changed my life john..ive kept up with yas from the warehouse days..with ravi..i cant believe soo long has past and yas never seem to stop amazing me..unfortunately,yous guys never go on tour close to where im at atm....id give my life to see yous play live john!!! my bro introduced me to yous guys back in 1986..im 34..i was 10 years old..at the time..and i never looked back..omg.man..one time please..i could die a happy man.CRIMSON GLORY FOR LIFE!! FT REST
Jon; you totally made my day right here! I've followed the band since you started, and this song totally sums up what CG is about. You should consider yourselfs lucky to get hold of such a great vocalist as Todd. I just hope that we one day play at a festival together!
Great fit for Crimson Glory. Fans that didn´t get to see Mid will have the next best thing. This guy has the right feel for the old songs. Stay heavy and keep posting songs with the new singer Jon!
I viewed this for the first time exactly one year after it was upload. Too cool. Also, Todd's a great vocalist. Suitable replacement for Midnight, I'd say. R.I.P. Midnight. Thy Glory Lives On.
john..been jamming to yous guys since valhalla..the best metal band ever in mo.i cant describe how much youve changedmy life.the guitars shred..ther vocals haunt me to this day..even with wade..and now comes a close clone to the one and only MIDNIGHT..this is scary..rip man. i know yas troubles with his driniking..it doesnt deter me to know that what i have heard from cg IN THE PAST 25 YEARS is the most melodic influential,undercredited,underexposed metal band of all time..amazing
Wow! Pretty darn good! I would have noticed it sounded slightly different, but I wouldn't have known it wasn't Midnight had you not mentioned. Good luck to all!
I'm sad to say, unfortunately being that this isn't pop or some boy band I doubt that I will ever be able to see you guys in Texas.... If you ever did, without a doubt i would be there. I must tell you, i offer my biggest shot of kudos to you guys for the incredible choice of vocalists to replace the majestic Midnight. This guy (Todd La Torre) has an incredible range and as always, Crimson Glory never fails to impress me. Fan for life (since about 90). Keep up the amazing work!
Not Bad At All, Its not like any fool can sing like MIDNIGHT and this guy does a more than justified version ROCK ON GUYS, i am in my 40s and still rocking wish you all the best from Los Angeles !!!!!
i applaud Todd and Crimson Glory on on bringing the whole thing back to life, as i think CG will do well and hope they do so....however i have watched this band since they first started playing in their warehouse on 63rd ave E. in Bradenton and midnight was incredible and will never be replaceable in my mind, Todd is good but not Midnight.
great substitution for Midnight. We should confess that even Midnight wasn't this good in his later years. (or equally good) (as I heard in the videos of the only reunion concert in Athens) If they write such great songs again and put the masks on, then they can be a big sensation again for the new metal world.
@jondrenning simply amazing man.i cry when i hear this music..u guys are fucking gods amongst men..literally geniuses..transecendence is by far the best metal album of all time..!!!the only thing close imo are 2 albums.. fates warning perfect symmetry and opeths still life..all 3 albums haunt me and hit very close to home.midnight..wow..sorry for your loss john..and all the CG family..i cried like a baby for weeks...song for angels is still the best ballad ever recorded..tyvm!!
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
Disagree...been a life long Queensryche fan...they needed this...I'm into music ...never heard Crimson Glory...til I looked up Todd's autobiography...they kick ass...he should do both alot of us do...
It's no wonder Todd is queensryche new singer, he's awesome. This is a cool song, however I don't like the way it's mixed, to much effects, particully that flange, would have sounded better dry with a little reverb
Have you not heard Todd sing Queensryche and Midnight songs? Listen to him a lot more and come back to this. It's Todd 100%, that doesn't even sound like Midnight at all to me but Todd singing in his style and technique. It's hilarious how you say the sound is adjusted (Badly) yet it's not. You or anyone you know that is able to operate a simple program try to slow down the vocals or adjust the sound (badly) and see if you can make Midnight sound like this....

To me..Todd is the epitome of perfection

Apparently, he can’t front Crimson Glory. What a crying shame.
We desperately need a new tour of Crimson Glory in Europe with Todd or Wade Black, and hopefully a new album!

The perfect singer for this band and a worthy successor of John Patrick ´Midnight´ McDonald
We have been waiting for what feels like a lifetime for this . Now is the time to look forward . You always were unique and I have no doubt your greatest work is yet to come . Todd sounds amazing . We believe in you guys .

Jon; you totally made my day right here! I've followed the band since you started, and this song totally sums up what CG is about. You should consider yourselfs lucky to get hold of such a great vocalist as Todd. I just hope that we one day play at a festival together!
"In Dark Places" is my very favorite song, Todd is no longer part of the band and Minght will probably not be replaced anymore.
Great job Todd you should have stayed around bro cg forever rio John Patric McDonald loved missed always great job Todd kjc London KY USA
Holy shit. He sounds so much like the late, great Midnight. Scary. He's possessed.
영원한 음악
crimson glory has a new singer the dude sounds like the late midnight
Great fit for Crimson Glory. Fans that didn´t get to see Mid will have the next best thing. This guy has the right feel for the old songs.
Stay heavy and keep posting songs with the new singer Jon!
Todd was (and still is) the only one who could replace the MIGHTY Midnight!!! 🤘🤘🤘🔝🔝🔝❤❤❤ Greetings from Italy!!! 😉
yeah I been listening to this since 1989 and its hard to tell the difference.
I viewed this for the first time exactly one year after it was upload. Too cool.
Also, Todd's a great vocalist. Suitable replacement for Midnight, I'd say.
R.I.P. Midnight. Thy Glory Lives On.
Such a shame we never got a new album while Todd was with you guys. :(
ok i wanted to come in here and say NOONE IS AS GOOD AS MIDNIGHT, NOONE! MIDNIGHT IS THE BEST, etc...but this dude is a damn fine replacement

Awesome. Why didn't you guys just re record the instrumental as well instead of using the album version?
PLEASE find a singer. Your music needs to be heard!
noone replaces midnight
Sounds like the original cassette had been played so many times it stretched the fuck out... instrument wise. Vocals sound killer.

2 lost in dark places
It's like he's the second midnight......
Sucks soooooo bad that that Todd left for QR. He fit Crimson Glory si much better

It's no wonder Todd is queensryche new singer, he's awesome. This is a cool song, however I don't like
the way it's mixed, to much effects, particully that flange, would have sounded better dry with a little reverb
It sounds like the vocals were removed to make the backing track. It's a software artifact
Bullshit. That's Midnight, the sound is adjusted (badly) and the VOX is slowed a bit. Nice, err... no, terrible try.
@Bob Rod This is Todd!!! Surely you jest? It's clearly Todd however it sounds like they used the album instrumental for sure.
Have you not heard Todd sing Queensryche and Midnight songs? Listen to him a lot more and come back to this. It's Todd 100%, that doesn't even sound like Midnight at all to me but Todd singing in his style and technique. It's hilarious how you say the sound is adjusted (Badly) yet it's not.
