Artist : Crusader
Country : Belgium
Release : SkinClad
Year : 2007
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320
Info:
This Belgium-based sextet has opened up for both abovementioned acts in respective gigs. And I wonder: a) is all of the above just a coincidence? b) what kinda music should I wait for, the previous info given?
Mark Theunssens, Erwin Van Bunderen, David Walgrave (vocals) and some Dirk on drums started it all back in 1996, exhausting themselves via playing Metal covers (all eras). The entry of axeman Filip Lasseel, however, marks the 'bye-bye' of all the 'covers' setlist and the beginning of CRUSADER's own music. Two albums - 2000's This Mortal Flesh and 2004's Fools - help CRUSADER gain enough of recognition with their multi-influenced Metal vibe. Between lineup 'come-and-go's - Nick Van Vlaenderen is completely blind almost since birth! - the band sees the driving force of Filip Lasseel leaving CRUSADER after Skinclad was recorded.
