CRIMSON GLORY Frontman To Auction Song-Inspired Paintings

July 21, 2006

CRIMSON GLORY frontman Midnight has posted the following message on his official forum:

"As most of you know, I DON'T LISTEN TO MUSIC. Over the past few months, I have been forced to listen to CRIMSON over and over to rehearse... not to mention the M2 [solo] stuff... so... in order to maintain what little sanity I have left, I have begun to paint again after many, many years... in my extremely rare spare time. I have a strict policy of never holding onto anything from my past except my lyrics/poems, so I have decided to commission these paintings to the highest bidder. I won't want to keep them when I'm done so I will sell them to my closest fans only. My website is the only place I will make this offer. These paintings will be done in acrylic on canvas and the buyer's name will be blended hidden somewhere in the painting. I will only paint one painting for each song representing each song's emotion and colors. I will never paint the same song twice and the buyer will have his or her choice of which song they would like me to paint and a choice of ...ANY... song I have ever sang. I have already started on 'Lost Reflection', so this one will be the first one up for bid. I will allow offers in a new room to be created soon in the forum called 'The Art Gallery'."

CRIMSON GLORY members Jon Drenning (guitar),Jeff Lords (bass),Ben Jackson (guitar) and Midnight (vocals) have announced plans to release a wealth of material through an as-yet-undetermined label (the band's previous record company, Greece's Black Lotus Records, recently closed its doors),including remastered, expanded editions of the band's first two albums, a new version of "Astronomica" CD (which was originally recorded with current LEATHERWOLF frontman Wade Black at the microphone) featuring Midnight on vocals, and a brand new studio album, tentatively due in 2007.
