We are delighted to announce our new tour dates. At the dawn of the upcoming 2022, we will be touring in Germany to start off, with our German/Swedish friends JADED HEART as special guest and our Swiss colleagues from Fire Rose as support.
We are very delighted to introduce our new guitarplayer Peter Berger to you. He is an outstanding guitar player and a very cooperative person and therefore a perfect fit for Crystal Ball.
Peter gained years of experience as a guitarist in all these bands:
Fortress, Daydreamer, Appearance of Nothing, Banging Heart, Killer as well as these tribute bands:
Cutest Beast (Judas Priest tribute), KUSS ∞ A Tribute To KISS.
There will be more infos about Peter on our website shortly. We willl keep you posted. The ones who can’t wait anymore, just join our online Meet & Greet on Sunday the 20th of December 2020 to meet him online (All info is on our Facebook site).
The year 2020 was in many aspects a very special one. At the end of the year, there’s an important change in the CRYSTAL BALL Camp: Tony T.C. Castell is leaving the band!
We respect his decision und want to thank him for his friendship and the great adventures we shared during the last six years. We wish him all the best for his future. Here’s Tonys statement:
“Hi CRYSTALHEADS
I hope you’re doing well that you are all healthy. I would like to inform you, that I left CRYSTAL BALL in friendship to accept new musical challanges. In particular I will be on the road with GOTUS and BWQ. I’ve deceided this because that’s closer to my musical homeland. Further will I do my own musical thing. We’ll stay friends anyhow and I wish the band only the best. From the bottom of my heart I would like to say thank you for six great years.
See you soon
Tony Castell“
The show must go on! We’re looking forward to introduce the new CRYSTAL BALL bandmember to you next weekend. Stay tuned!
We deeply regret to postpone the announced CRYSTAL BALL liveshows, including the German tour with our buddies from DeVicious, this spring. The circumstances around the Corona-Crisis change almost every hour, but since last weekend it’s clear that it’s neither possible nor wise to play this tour.

Others take place happen in autumn. We’ll keep you informed as soon as we have any news. Concerning the tickets we kindly ask you to contact the clubs and promotors. Most tickets will stay valid.

CRYSTAL BALL is celebrating the band’s 20th anniversary with the release of “2020” – their first ever best-of album – out on August 2nd via Massacre Records! The album will include a total of 20 tracks on 2 CDs – there will be 10 re-recorded and newly interpreted songs from the band’s first decade, and 10 melodic metal tracks from the band’s second decade, which were either re-recorded, newly arranged and/or enhanced with additional recordings.
All songs were chosen based on results of fan polls and streaming analyses.
“2020” is an album for die-hard fans that are around since the band’s early days but also for those who have barely heard of the band before. Needless to say that this album should be part of every record collection! Grab it here: https://lnk.to/crystalball2020
Here it is: The video for HELLvetia of the upcoming album “2020“. You have to be logged in to Youtube to verfy your age in order to watch die video. Please use the oppurtunity and like the clip on youtube and leave us a comment.
The HELLvetia video features scences from the great collaboration with the movie Madi Heidi. check it out ;-).
The genius introduction of the song is owed to the Swiss Yodel club “Echo vom Glauberg“. Many heartfelt thanks for the awesome Collaboration!
