    Todd La Toure resigns from Crimson Glory

    Thought this might interest some/many here. Too bad as I was looking forward to maybe seeing them on a future cruise. Source

    The news will come as a shock to some while others will shrug it off saying "It's about time..," but BW&BK has been informed directly that after approximately three years as the frontman for Florida-based progressive metal band CRIMSON GLORY, vocalist Todd La Torre has officially resigned.

    La Torre was introduced to CRIMSON GLORY by Matt La Porte (JON OLIVA'S PAIN / CIRCLE II CIRCLE), becoming an official member in 2010. He helped to ignite and give new life to the legendary band that had been on hiatus for nearly ten years, and mourning the loss of original vocalist Midnight. CRIMSON GLORY emerged back into the world arena metal scene with very high praise and acceptance. La Torre toured as the new voice of CRIMSON GLORY throughout Europe in celebration of the band’s 25th Anniversary with great success. Talk of a new album was highly anticipated and the band appeared to be firing on all cylinders.

    "We were writing the new album and things were looking good, says La Torre. "We had interest from two major European labels, which was very promising. I was very honored and proud that we were on the rise, and the fans were embracing all that we were doing. We had wonderful momentum and we were working within an important window of time within which the new record should have been recorded and released to have the most impact given the bands resurgence. Unfortunately, the record never materialized despite my best efforts."

    "My involvement with QUEENSRYCHE had nothing to do with the album progress," he continues. "I haven’t been contacted to write with CRIMSON GLORY for over six months. As a band, our writing sessions were slow, eventually becoming non-existent before I ever joined QUEENSRYCHE. During the specific timeframe that I was in talks with QUEENSRYCHE, members of CG were simultaneously occupied by other external and internal endeavors that apparently absorbed the time and/or will away from CG, which is not fallacious per se, but it proceeded in passivity. The main reason for my resignation from CRIMSON GLORY is primarily due to its inertia status.”

    "CRIMSON GLORY was the catalyst that exposed me to the world as an undiscovered vocalist, and I am very thankful to them. Special thanks also to the amazing fans for their acceptance and support of not only CRIMSON GLORY, but their continued support to me as an artist. Lastly, I sincerely wish my friends in CRIMSON GLORY the absolute very best, both personally and professionally."
    So far at least, 2011, 2012 & 2015 were enough for me

    Not surprised by this at all. CG never even played any gigs in their home state of FL, so who knows what the heck they plan on doing and when.

    The Queensryche gig was the final nail in the coffin.

    I too was hoping to see them on a cruise. Not sure who they can get to sing the original songs now. They dontt exactly grow on trees these types.
