CRIMSON 275RY recently announced the addition of singer Todd La Torre to the group's ranks.
La Torre made his first (and as yet only) public appearance with CRIMSON 275RY at ProgPower USA X as one of seventeen guest performers (including Wade Black, vocalist on the "Astronomica" album and subsequent European tour, and David Van Landing, who replaced Midnight briefly for the "Strange and Beautiful" U.S. tour) paying tribute to Midnight, the band's original singer.
Midnight passed away last year due to long-term health complications.
Essentially unknown to the mainstream progressive metal scene, La Torre spent 22 years earning his stripes and solidifying himself as an unquestionable talent behind the drum kit of various hard rock and heavy metal projects in the Tampa Bay, Florida area; however, his vocal aspirations went largely unfulfilled until last year when Matt LaPorte (JON OLIVA'S PAIN), who had only heard La Torre sing on a few occasions, casually mentioned to Drenning that he might make a nice addition to the already stellar lineup of performers the band had accumulated. It was only a short time later that La Torre found himself at the band's rehearsal studio, and the pieces began to fall into place.

Crimson Glory - In Dark Places LYRICS:
Waves pound the gloomy shores, I watch them roll
across my feet so warm
I know she's waiting there for me
In ancient rhymes she whispers in the wind
a strange and haunting melody
As it fills the silence, I feel the shivers cold
embrace my soul
From the deep she beckons me
promising eternity
In a world where nothing's real
beyond this realm of light and dreams
You, mystic moon it's you who rules the night
breathing life into my dreams
I see your face in nightmares shining bright
So, it's fare to you my sunlit world
so full of hate and misery
You see I can't take it anymore
From my sleep you beckon me
promising eternity
In your world of mystery
to your realm of harmony
In dark places
In dark places we will be
forever beyond the light
In dark places we will be free
from the pain that fills our lives
Through arching moonbeams of light we glide
in bending shadows of warm starlight
Angels of colors light the night as they fly
transcending into the electric sky
In dark places
In dark places we will be
forever beyond the light
In dark places we will be free
from the pain that fills our lives
In dark places we will be
forever beyond the light
In dark places we will see
worlds we've always dreamed
