In May 2010, the band formally announced Todd La Torre as their new singer. La Torre made his first public appearance as a full-time member of Crimson Glory at the Pathfinder Metal Fest in Marietta, Georgia on October 30, 2010. A drummer for 24 years in various hard rock and heavy metal bands in the Tampa Bay area, he was never seeking out being the frontman of a band, "it just happened". In May 2012, La Torre joined four members of Queensrÿche as singer for two shows under the moniker Rising West. La Torre has since joined Queensrÿche as a full-time member.
