ZOOM TV SPECIAL EVENT ON INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho.

Crystal Palace were founded in Berlin, Germany, in the early 1990s. The band received worldwide attention with the release of the Best-of-CD “Through the Years” in (2005), enabling Crystal Palace to perform live regularly with other international artists at various festivals in Europe. In 2011, divergent musical interests emerged within the band, resulting in a new line-up. This line-up turned out to be creative and harmonious, enabling the band to go on tour with the well-known German progressive rock band RPWL.

The band recorded the album “The System of Events” in early 2013 with guest artists Colin Edwin of (Porcupine Tree) and Kalle Wallner and Yogi Lang of (RPWL).

Crystal Palace was eventually signed by German label “Gentle Art of Music”. In 2016 the band’s most successful album until that point, “Dawn Of Eternity”, was released. The album reached #17 in the International AOR-charts.

Crystal Palace released “Scattered Shards” in 2018. The band changed labels and decided to go with Progressive Promotion. An important reason for this change was to show that the band can arrange their music without prominent support. The sound of the band is characterized by melodic passages and instrumentally well worked-out themes that, when listened to carefully, entice the listener to sink into a pleasurable musical experience with their own imaginative thoughts.

The most recent release by Crystal Palace is Still There.
