Media type: LP

The “Reset” album by Crystal Ball is being released on Massacre and marks the Swiss band’s twelfth studio album. The record was produced, mixed, and mastered by Stefan Kaufmann at Roxx Studio, with cover artwork by Scott Leach. By bringing in Mike “Mr. Killjoy” Fahrni on drums and Chris Lauper on bass, the band has reconfigured its rhythm section, a change that is clearly audible in the album’s sound. Crystal Ball uses this personnel shift to infuse the compositions with fresh energy and tight band performance.

Musically, “Reset Black” delivers a balance of melodic hooks and powerful riffs that give the band the profile of a contemporary melodic metal/hard rock act. The title track “Reset” has already been released as a single along with a music video and provides a focused entry point into the tracklist. With “Reset Black,” Crystal Ball remains precise in its craftsmanship and song-oriented, with production, arrangements, and lineup all working together toward a compact, melody-driven metal sound.
