Crillson - 'Coming Of A New Age' (official album stream)

Οι Crillson σχηματίσθηκαν το μακρινό 1984 στην Αλάσκα (Glennallen). Μας συστήνονται κάπως έτσι:

«The name Crillson was created by founding members: Chris Craig (drums), Dan Miller (guitar) and Todd Wilson (bass) combining parts of their last names.

Shortly after we began we asked Steve Heath (guitarist) to join the band.

In 1989 we found our singer Jesse Rezendes and current bassist J.R. Dicks in Wasilla, Alaska.

There we began writing our first album “Coming of a New Age” and performing all over Alaska.

Steve Heath then moved on to other projects.

Crillson then went to Surreal Studios in Palmer, Alaska to record “Coming of a New Age”.

We went on to become a top rock band in the state of Alaska.

While playing at local clubs and arenas promoting our first album we were able to distribute and sell all of the original CDs from the first release.

In 2000 we recorded our second album “Mellow To Metal” in Dan Miller’s home studio but it was never officially released.»

Κυκλοφόρησαν (σε cd) έναν δίσκο, υπό τον τίτλο "Coming of a New Age", στην αυγή του 1993 από την δισκογραφική εταιρεία Hyer Road. Στα τελειώματα του 2012 επανακυκλοφόρησε (επίσης σε cd, μαζί με τον ακυκλοφόρητο μέχρι τότε δίσκο "Mellow to Metal") μέσω της Arkeyn Steel Records.

Στα τελειώματα του φθινοπώρου (στις 27 Νοεμβρίου 2026) θα "βγει" για πρώτη φορά (επισήμως τουλάχιστον) σε βινύλιο (σε τριακόσιες κόπιες) από την δισκογραφική εταιρεία Lost Realm Records χωρίς επιπλέον μουσικό (ή οτιδήποτε άλλο) υλικό.

Δελτίο τύπου: «Lost Realm Records is proud to announce the vinyl release of Coming Of A New Age, the long-sought-after debut album from Alaskan heavy/power metal pioneers Crillson!

Hailing from the remote town of Glennallen, Alaska, Crillson formed in 1984 when founding members Chris Craig (drums), Dan Miller (guitar), and Todd Wilson (bass) combined fragments of their surnames to create the band’s distinctive name. Performing far from the traditional metal hubs of the era, the group forged a powerful sound rooted in the abundant American heavy metal tradition of the 80s.

Their music blends intense power metal with progressive undertones, delivering intricate guitar work, driving rhythms, and commanding high-pitched vocals that evoke the epic grandeur and technical finesse of influences such as Queensrÿche, Jag Panzer, and Fates Warning.

Coming Of A New Age, originally released on CD in 1993, captures Crillson at their peak: a dynamic collection of tracks characterized by memorable hooks, atmospheric depth, and the unmistakable energy of a band channeling isolation and ambition into heavy, triumphant metal. Standout songs like “No Cure”, “The Chosen One”, and “Blades” demonstrate the quartet’s ability to balance epic elements with a sophisticated melodic structure.

This limited vinyl edition from Lost Realm Records brings the album back to its more-than-deserved format, offering fans a chance to experience the full sonic weight of Crillson’s vision. The release celebrates the band’s pioneering spirit from the Alaskan frontier and their enduring contribution to underground heavy metal.»
