There are two bands called Crystal Eyes 1. Was formed in Borås, Sweden, in 1992, by Mikael Dahl and Niclas Karlsson to keep the legacy of Heavy Metal set in the eighties by Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Accept etc. A strong underground reputation was built during the mid-90’s with four official demo-tapes (released together on one cd in 1998 under the name Gallery of Demos). In 1996 Crystal Eyes launched their official website and got to open for Blind Guardian the same year.
