From Sliptrick Records:
Crystal Tears – New Album “Athanato” & Two Singles Announced
Greek heavy metal titans Crystal Tears are thrilled to announce their worldwide signing with Sliptrick Records, alongside the release of two electrifying singles and their brand new album “Athanato”.
Delivering their signature fusion of heavy metal and melodic death metal, Crystal Tears have built a formidable legacy with past releases such as Hellmade and Decadence Deluxe. With the release of Athanato, the band enters a new era of sonic power and emotional depth.
The band introduces this new era with the release of two singles: “Bloodstorm”, a track defined by its sharpened edge and metal precision, and “Naked”, which dives into powerful emotional territory with intricate melodies and soaring vocals. Both tracks are available now on major streaming platforms.
The Album: “Athanato”
“Athanato” brings together the best of both worlds: raw heavy metal energy and polished, cutting-edge production. Mixed and mastered in London by renowned producer Matt Hyde (Slipknot, Machine Head, Trivium, Kreator), the album boasts a dynamic sound that captures both brutality and beauty in equal measure.
“Working with Crystal Tears on their album has been such a great project for me to be part of. I was immediately struck by how professional the band are and from the outset they were very clear on their musical vision for how the record should sound which really helped me with the direction of the mix. Together I believe we have created something great that I hope gets this fantastic band the recognition they deserve.”
— Matt Hyde, London UK
The album includes high-caliber guest appearances, featuring a blistering solo by Mike Wead (King Diamond, Mercyful Fate) and the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Helena Josefsson (Roxette, Per Gessle).
