Originally released in 1987 on the legendary R.E.X. Records label, Celestial Messenger by Trytan is a landmark of progressive Christian metal-blending the technical brilliance of bands like Rush and Dream Theater with the melodic depth of Queensrÿche and the spiritual vision of early Genesis. Now officially licensed and faithfully remastered for vinyl in 2025 by Rob Colwell, this definitive edition offers both longtime fans and new listeners a sonic experience that transcends time.This Collector's Edition is limited to just 200 copies and includes two bonus tracks from Trytan's triumphant return at the Cornerstone 2001 concert-adding historical depth to an already celebrated release. Each copy includes a hand-signed 12x12 album flat autographed by guitarist/vocalist Lary Dean, featuring the alternate (and band-preferred) album cover first seen on the 2021 Gold CD reissue.Also included are detailed song memoirs from Lary Dean himself, giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at the inspiration and meaning behind each track-an introspective companion to the album's intricate musicianship and spiritual message.Critically acclaimed with an 85% review rating on Angelic Warlord and ranked #25 on their Top 50 Christian Rock & Metal Albums of the '80s, this reissue cements Celestial Messenger as both a historical milestone and a must-own artifact for collectors of classic Christian metal. Once these 200 copies are gone, they're gone for good.
