Kryst The Conqueror

KRYST THE CONQUEROR #USA#

Genre: Epic Metal



In the aftermath of the Misfits break up in 1983, Jerry Only, then known as Mo The Great, and his brother Doyle formed Kryst The Conqueror in 1987. The band never had a lead singer and never toured. They hired Jeff Scott Soto (then of Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force) to do the vocals for their album. After Dr. Chud joined the band, Jerry and Doyle reformed The Misfits in 1995.

In 1990, fans were able to hear the return of Jerry Only and Doyle to the music industry. After a four year hiatus after the break up of the Misfits in 1983, the brothers formed "Kryst The Conqueror" in 1987. A departure from the punk scene, this heavy metal act recorded a full LP in 1989 entitled "Deliver Us From Evil". Referred to as their "guitar-shop" album, most of the Kryst material was written while trying to develop the perfect guitars *hence, the birth of the "Devastator" bass and the "Annihilator" guitar. In 1990, songs from the full LP were released on a 5 track EP of the same name, ending seven years of silence, and thus a return to the fold. Although Kryst The Conqueror never achieved the success they had hoped, the music and the band was a stepping stone for Jerry Only, Doyle, and Dr. Chud who would later resurrect The Misfits in 1995.

Sticker: "Featuring: DOYLE & JERRY ONLY formerly of the MISFITS."

Notes: At the time of the EP's release, Jeff Scott Soto was under contract to Yngwie Malmsteen and therefore had to remain anonymous. For this reason he was listed as Kryst The Conqueror on the insert. There are two versions of the cassette inlay card. The most common version lists only the album title on the side. Some of the later copies also list the band name in smaller letters.
