In memory of Michael Grant

Enrico2 Comments

Michael Grant was a great singer.
Pretty sad, the few criticisms CRESCENT SHIELD ever received were due to the tone of his voice which seemed to divide fans and critics in half. Some simply didn’t liked it.
But in my opinion he was one of the greatest singer I have ever heard.  His voice was passionate, powerful and strong. Able to sing the heaviest Metal song as to indulge on melody. With Dan DeLucie they made the perfect couple, two friends, two extremely talented guys with a strong background in Metal.

I met Michael just once, when Crescent Shield played Keep It True in 2008. He was very friendly and didn’t stop thanking for the chance of playing in Germany that Oliver and us had given the band. He was a Giant, but his soul and his manners were gentle.

“You were born, you live, you die. Make sure that you live with greatness”.


These were his words to introduce “Lifespan” at Keep It True.

Michael, I am sure you lived your life with greatness, and so will always be remembered.
My most sincere condolences to his family and closest friends.

And if this was not enough, we have also reached BIBLE OF THE DEVIL’s guitarist Nate Perry to ask a few questions regarding this new, punishing album:

“For the love of thugs and fools” seems to be a tribute to the eerie world of rock and rollers and metal heads. We certainly know that BOTD has hit the road enough to be able to tell us a thing or two about them. Why did you come up with such an album concept?
Nate Perry – There’s a saying among people who write: “write what you know.” On this album, most of these song lyrics stay away from anything fantasy-based, which is pretty typical in metal and something we’ve dabbled in as well. But generally, when we’re working on a record, the first song we finish tends to set the tone for the rest of the writing.
