Release date: October 23rd, 2026 via Massacre Records

After years of challenges, Steven Mageney, Scott Leach, and Peter Berger make an impressive return together with their new bandmates Mike “Mr. Killjoy” Fahrni (drums) and Chris Lauper (bass).

Since 1999 and the release of their debut album, the Swiss flagship of melodic metal has been on the road, releasing 12 albums to date. In 2022, the album “Crysteria” was released to great acclaim from fans and the press alike, reaching the Top 10 of the Swiss album charts!

In 2025, health issues led founding member Marcel Sardella to leave the band. Likewise, Cris Stone stepped away to focus on other aspects of his life – a profound turning point.

But instead of giving up, the remaining members consciously chose the brave path of a new beginning. With Mike Fahrni and Chris Lauper, CRYSTAL BALL found new energy, fresh inspiration, and a powerful new drive. Fans can look forward to an album filled with passion, strength, and unrestrained joy for life in every single note.

CRYSTAL BALL are back – ready to conquer the stage and thrill their fans again.
