Crystal Ball

“Reset” release party

Crystal Ball are back – stronger, more passionate and more energetic than ever! With fresh energy and a renewed drive, Crystal Ball have retreated to the studio to record their next studio album – a work full of heart and soul, intensity, and the unmistakable power they have always brought to the stage.

After years full of challenges, Steven Mageney, Scott Leach and Peter Berger are making an impressive return together with their new bandmates Mike “Mr. Killjoy” Fahrni (drums) and Chris Lauper (bass). Since 1999 and their debut album, this Swiss flagship of melodic metal has been on the road and has released 12 albums to date. In 2022, the album “Crysteria” was released, was very well received by fans and the press, and made it into the top 10 of the Swiss album charts!

In 2025, health problems led to founding member Marcel Sardella leaving the band. Cris Stone also left the band, as he wanted to focus on other things in his life. A deep cut. But instead of giving up, the remaining musicians consciously chose the courageous path of a fresh start. With Mike Fahrni and Chris Lauper, Crystal Ball found new energy, fresh inspiration and a powerful new drive. Fans can look forward to an album that carries passion, strength and unbridled joie de vivre in every note.

Crystal Ball are back – ready to conquer the stages again and thrill their fans once more. The new album “Reset” (release date 23/10/2026) will be launched at Konzerthaus Schüür.
