NEWS UPDATE
We're back! Finally, here you are some news about the new record, slated to be released later in 2006. The biggest news is about the cover artwork: the band has inked a deal with none other than the mighty Ken Kelly, the man whose paintings graced masterpieces such as Manowar's finest releases, the groundbreaking Kiss output "Destroyer" and the Rainbow classic "Rising"!
The chosen artpiece will be revealed in a later date. Expect something great.
Moving on to the still untitled Crystal Empire debut album (due for release in late 2006 through Adrenaline Records): the band is still deep in writing mode, and the songs sound absolutely killer! The new record will be a lot heavier than the debut EP, featuring a wide range of sounds and influences, from Classic Metal riffs to some neck-snapping Thrash moments, all fully merged into Crystal Empire's trademark Progressive Power Metal.
Below you can find a nice banner linking to Kelly's official website. Expect some more news in the near future.

Small update
The Giovani Espressioni Contest, as you might know, came to an end a couple of weeks ago, and sadly Crystal Empire placed fourth...Well, the band made its way to the fourth place among 300 other bands,
