CRIMES OF PASSION evolved from the industrial heartland of Sheffield England. Over the last 5 years they have developed into a world class melodic metal band.

Their  debut single ‘Blown Away’ will be available to coincide with this release, with a promotional video shot and ready for TV. The album was produced and recorded by Charlie Bauerfeind,  (Helloween, Blind Guardian, Hammerfall, Motorhead) at Blind Guardians Twilight Hall studios Germany, Orion studios England, and completed at Helloween’s Tenerife studio.

There are guest vocal performances on the album from Biff Byford of Saxon and Andi Deris of Helloween. Biff also edited the single. Biff liked the band so much that he invited them to tour mainland Europe in May/June 2011 for 5 weeks as the main support to Saxon.

In October 2011, COP headed out into the UK and Europe with Mike Tramp the vocalist of the 80’s legends White Lion, which is followed by 4 more weeks in Europe and Scandinavia with Saxon and Anvil. Festival performances have already been confirmed for Wacken Openair and Metalcamp 2012. This band are certainly on the “ones to watch” list for 2012.
