Bavarian heavy power metal outfit Crystallion have released a powerful new single, a tribute cover of the classic Manowar anthem "Shell Shock" in memory of legendary guitarist Ross The Boss.

The track maintains the original's spirit and majesty while delivering it with a heavier, more modern edge.

The release marks an important moment in Crystallion's current chapter, as they continue to sharpen their identity following years of evolution, lineup changes, and a rebuilt creative direction.

Rather than looking backward, Crystallion are using this moment to bridge their legacy sound with a more aggressive and focused modern approach.

Crystallion have also confirmed that work is well underway on their upcoming sixth studio album.

Recording sessions are scheduled for summer 2026 in Munich, with the record expected for release in Winter 2026/27.

The new material is being described as their most direct and forceful work to date, combining classic power metal foundations with a heavier, more urgent edge.

The band's upcoming album will mark a defining step forward for Crystallion, expanding on the momentum of their recent creative resurgence while pushing deeper into a modernized sound without losing their identity.

Crystallion are not revisiting the past; they are reshaping it.
