The Black Crystals

About Me

The Black Crystals, Who are they exactly? A group of talented musicians some have said. Some say they just appeared out of no where, like wandering pirates looking for that great treasure. Their journey all began in late 2005, when the idea to form an Anime/Video Game tribute band had popped into Ryp and Captain's heads. With guitar in hand, and drums keeping the beat going. They needed another element to make this great fusion explode, They needed Alie.As their journey continued, they picked up a new member, Nico. The legendary keytar demon. With a full arsenal of awesomely great music The Black Crystals were armed and ready to rock.
