CRYSTAL EYES Parts Ways With Guitarist, Announces Replacement

August 9, 2006

Sweden's CRYSTAL EYES has posted the following message on its official web site:

"After nine years Jonathan [Nyberg, guitar] has now left the band. With a growing family, a house and a full-time job he felt his engagement in CRYSTAL EYES had been suffering too much lately. His decision was made during the recording of the new album, so Mikael [Dahl] has finished all guitars by himself except one solo, which Jonathan played as a farewell gesture. Jonathan is still a really good friend to everybody in the band, and we wish him all the best.

"As Jonathan's replacement we are now welcoming back Niclas Karlsson. Niclas started the band with Mikael in 1992, and was actually the one who came up with the band name. During the short break in 1995 Niclas quit the band and formed FIERCE CONVICTION (later CONVICTION),which released two albums. After that he appeared on one album with ZONATA, and played for a short while with FRETERNIA and RISING FAITH. Lately Mikael and Niclas have also been playing with the same cover band so it was quite easy to ask Niclas if he wanted to come back."

CRYSTAL EYES' fifth album, "Dead City Dreaming", was recorded at Crystal Sounds studio with producer Fredrik Nordström. The cover artwork for the CD can be viewed at this location. A late October/early November release is expected.

"Dead City Dreaming" track listing:

01. Dead City Dreaming
02. Into The Light
03. The Narrow Mind
04. Wall Of Stars
05. Battlefield
06. The Quest Remains
07. Dawn Dancer
08. Roads Of Loneliness
09. Temple Of Immortal Shame
10. The Halls of Valhalla
