Crimson Glory began life in Sarasota, Florida in 1982 under the moniker 'Beowulf.' They rehearsed diligently, finding and developing their sound for almost four years before recording their self-titled debut album on Par Records in 1986. Tight dual-lead harmonies and soaring vocals (think Geoff Tate / Queensrÿche) would feature prominently on this release, as well as the follow-up, "Transcendence."
In the era of sound-a-like/look-a-like metal bands, Crimson Glory's goal was to have themselves be immediately identifiable from the others, so they wore full-face metallic silver masks on-stage, as well as for all photo shoots and public appearances. The mystically-named vocalist, Midnight was the exception to this, as his mask left his mouth uncovered.
Their sophomore release, “Transcendence” was a landmark and it garnered them much-deserved praise and attention, both at home and abroad.
On July 8, 2009, vocalist Midnight (John Patrick McDonald Jr.) died from complete liver and kidney failure.
