This album is an exciting and brilliant musical and emotional rollercoaster, but fans know that’s par for the course from progressive rockers, Trytan. Blood of Kings marks the band’s third iconic milestone on a musical journey that began over 30 years ago! Blood of Kings features band leader, Lary Dean on vocals, Eric Gillette (Neal Morse Band), Jim Laverde (Barren Cross), Rey Parra (Sacred Warrior/Deny the Fallen), John Elefante

Championed by Sir Elton John on Apple Music Beats 1. From the label that is pioneering the new wave of 21 st century Rock N Roll artists. Following in the footsteps of bands like Rival Sons, The Temperance Movement, Blackberry Smoke, Massive Wagons & Those Damn Crows.

Six Grammy’s and another four nominations are to date to book. Of course, late-born people first associate ‘Africa’ or ‘Rosanna’ with the band, undoubtedly great songwriting art and hits. But the journey began earlier with the eponymous debut and the successor ‘Hydra’. From these two albums then also the track listing is composed, with which the band played the Japan gig in 1980, which is reproduced in very good sound on this CD.
