Has this album ever been issued on CD? I listened to it on metal-samples.com and liked it.

Here is the band's MA page.

I have never seen it on CD, but the original LP is relatively inexpensive and not too hard to find. I found a copy for $5 at a record store. Be careful as some sellers online try to charge upwards of $50-$60 for it. If there is a CD, it is very likely a Greek bootleg, as many of these obscure heavy metal gems were released on Greek bootleg labels like Hot Metal and Revenge of True Metal records.

LOTCA is a fantastic piece of unique epic heavy metal. Good luck in your search

I have it as a split cd with the mini lp of Italians Astaroth on it. Obviously a bootleg,but hey,if no one is going to do an official release
of either band i have no problem with it.

I have that same copy and the quality is good so I have no problem with it being a bootleg.

If you like Lords of the Crimson Alliance, you'd also do well to check out Grudge and Aftermath, all three bands are made up of the same guys. Though they're different styles (Grudge play rocking heavy/power metal, Aftermath play power/thrash) they share the same unpredictable songwriting quirks. They're very good at foiling expectations and crafting unconventional song structures; for example the Grudge track "Alien Hunter" is structured to follow the story; slow and ominous at first as the horror unfolds, then fast and furious as the action heats up. Aftermath's "Lines of Horror" on the other hand starts the song out to make you think it's going to repeat that riff a few times to build things up before the rest of the band jumps in, but instead everything hits you right away after the first time. Also, the lead guitarist is just fucking fantastic, though I think he comes across best in Grudge. He plays with such an easy fluidity, moving from lick to lick (often quite interesting and original in themselves) that the guitar solos are the high points of some of the songs.

I just listened to these albums, and the Aftermath one was decent. As for Grudge I didn't like it very much. :S
