180gr./Insert/1500 Copies On "Cool Blue" Coloured Vinyl. Crimson Glory‘s Transcendence is widely seen as one of the 80s best American-made progressive metal albums. The heavy metal of the 80s had blossomed into several offshoots by the time this record launched; true metal curators finding thrash now well established by the big four, while others eagerly lapped up the sugar of the popped-out strains (read hair-metal). In the midst of all this came the biggest shift in musical focus and popularity, sleaze metal. Crimson Glory‘s Transcendence is all of this and more.
