CRIMSON GLORY talk about "Chasing The Hydra"
TORONTO, CANADA (May 15, 2026) -- Crimson Glory recently released their brand new album “Chasing The Hydra”, the first new album in over 26 years. For fans who demand the highest quality audio for their music, CHASING THE HYDRA is now available as a 24 bit hi res audio download on Bandcamp at https://bravewordsrecords.bandcamp.com
Crimson Glory shared their thoughts on the response to the new album, “Greetings to Crimson Glory fans around the world, whom we affectionately refer to as, ‘The Crimson Militia.’ Right now we'd like to take a second to say just how floored we are at the reactions to our brand new record, Chasing the Hydra, our first in 2.5 decades. It should be known that one of the goals in making our comeback album was to bridge the gap, so-to-speak, between both our debut and the followup, Transcendence, and our new record. We've learned throughout the years that albums 1 & 2 were the top picks according to you guys, the fans. For this reason, along with a simmering yearning to go back to our roots, it was important for us to accomplish that goal. Just sayin', we are honored by all the very positive feedback, which of course will drive us to bring it even harder live! We will see YOU on tour! \m/“
“Chasing The Hydra” is currently charting at #3 on Sentinel Daily’s Top 30 Album Chart.
Alongside mainstay founding members Ben, Jeff and Dana, the band announced in 2023 the addition of amazing new vocalist Travis Wills and guitarist Mark Borgmeyer.

About Crimson Glory:
Crimson Glory, an American heavy metal institution that formed in 1983 in Sarasota, Florida, USA. The classic line-up featured vocalist Midnight, guitarists Jon Drenning and Ben Jackson, bass guitarist Jeff Lords, and drummer Dana Burnell. With this line-up, they rose to international fame in the mid-1980s and were considered one of the pioneers of the American progressive metal movement, alongside bands like Queensrÿche, Dream Theater, Fates Warning, and Watchtower. With 3/5 of the classic line up still intact, and now joined by acclaimed new vocalist Travis Wills, the band have been touring heavily over the past year... making this album one of the most anticipated releases of 2026 within the Heavy Metal Scene!
