With a steady evolution from the band's first demos to its latest instalments, Crystal Tears have managed to leave their mark as one of the most hard working and qualitative Greek metal acts. Since the first albums, it didn't took long until they shared stages with international acts, conquered quite a few polls and got airplayed in metal radio stations around the globe. Their third masterpiece was nominated No1 best Massacre Records' album on its year of release. It initiated their first European tour (with Mystic Prophecy), followed by their own headline Greek tour plus a few more extended shows with axeman Gus G (Ozzy Osbourne, Firewind). Having gained a formidable reputation for delivering the goods on stage and via their sing-along anthems in their fourth instalment, a few shows with Ryan Roxie (Alice Cooper, Slash's Snakepit) followed. A couple of singles were delivered, proceeded by an amazing 3-weeks headline tour in The Philippines.
Their fifth instalment with the epic title "Athanato" portrays some of the darkest and most extreme side of Crystal Tears. From fast-paced aggressive numbers to the most catchy melodies. Involving international guests with different music background, it's all combined and destined to make a multidimensional album ahead of its time. Mixed and mastered by Matt Hyde in London, UK (Slipknot, Machine Head, Trivium, Bullet For My Valentine, Kreator etc.) the band sounds as huge, as fresh and as inspired as ever! The quintet delivers high quality metal dedicating heart and soul.
Crystal Tears have always been original. And this unique blend of dynamics in aggressiveness & harmony has been introducing them continually to new audiences all over the world. And the story continues...
