Crossbones is the most recognized metal act in Albania and the only band from the mid 90-s that kept going. Among countless gigs and performances, Crossbones have played aside Rock and Metal giants such as Ian Paice, legendary drummer of Deep Purple and as a direct support act for Greek Black Metal legends of Rotting Christ.

Crossbones is the only metal band as well to “sell” outside the Albanian borders touring and gaining international recognition.
The band played and headlined many concerts and festivals in the local scene, as well as Italy, Greece, FYROM, Montenegro, Kosovo, toured in Baltics (Estonia and Latvia), Ukraine and headlined Balkan Metal Meeting 4 Tuzla/Bosnia, April 28 2018.
Host of Metal United World Wide for the Albanian chapter May 5, 2018 in Tirana.

Their new album “WWIII” is making quite a buzz since its launch in January 13 2017. The news has spread throughout 3 continents, Europe, USA and Australia in about 100 webzines and portals with great reviews.

The Balkan band has worked with the well-known producer and sound engineer Tommy Talamanca (Sadist) at his Nadir Music Studios who has mixed and mastered the album. The new record combines American thrash metal influences with a dark sound and typical Est European sonorities. The result is an album created with the intention of hit hard the ears of the listener without losing melodic passages and “catchy” riffs, and where the recurring use of both English and Albanian languages marks a new way in the European post-thrash genre.
