On October 2 French progressive heavy metal outfit CRYSTAL THRONE will release their upcoming concept album “Chantry Of Sacrifice”

Formed in 2019 in Metz, France, and drawing inspiration from acts such as Queensrÿche, Crimson Glory, Judas Priest, and Symphony X, CRYSTAL THRONE combine classic heavy metal foundations with progressive structures and a strong cinematic identity. Known for their futuristic visual universe, neon aesthetics, smoke effects, and laser-driven live performances, the band continues to carve out their own space within modern progressive heavy metal.

Driven by powerful heavy metal riffs, expansive progressive arrangements, and cinematic storytelling, “Chantry Of Sacrifice” unfolds as an immersive narrative journey, weaving its larger story across every chapter of the album.

Set in the distant future of 5150, the album follows Hÿldr, a war veteran and scientific project leader who awakens to an unimaginable reality: Earth has mysteriously vanished, leaving her as the last human in the universe. Hÿldr is then entrusted with one final mission – to travel back in time, uncover the cause of Earth’s disappearance, and alter the course of history before it is too late.
