While German metal band Chryztyne may have formed in 1990, their sound is pure 80s! Traditional heavy metal with touches of glam/melodic metal abound in their material.
The band formed in Karlsruhe in SW Germany in 1990, and released a 5-song demo cassette in 1992. Shortly thereafter, they signed with Pila Music, one of the larger Christian music labels from their home country. Their one and only full-length Tales of Paradise released in 1993 on the label, and featured 11 tracks of pure 80s metal. This, of course, proves the rule that although heavy metal had gone by the wayside–in the wake of grunge and alternative rock–in the United States, it was alive and well in other parts of the world, particularly in Europe.
Hi Loyd, kudos to you for raking this one Out! Back in the late 80 / early 90s I grew Up in Karlsruhe and knew the band well.
Greetings from SW Germany!
I’ve visited that area a couple of times. I used to live in England, and we drove to Salzburg once and went across that region. I also had a friend serving as a chaplain at Rammstein, we we were also in the Kaiserslautern area.
