Trytan is a Christian progressive / glam metal / hard rock band from Chicago, Illinois, musically similar to Rush.[1] The band was ministry oriented, and had what Christian music critic John J. Thompson characterized as a significant impact on their scene.[2]
Background
Their second demo (1987) was reworked for release by R.E.X. Records under the name Celestial Messenger. It featured a metal sound typical of the hair era of metal.[3] Their debut's lyrics also reflect their ministry orientation, one stated that the band wrote about "getting closer to God and not rejecting the Truth."[4] The album became a classic for fans of Christian metal and was subject to an illegal re-release in 1998.[5] The legal 2000 re-release of Celestial Messenger features a bonus of three remastered tracks[1] as well as material from an early demo a bonus.[5]
Their second album, Sylentiger, was released in 1990. It featured a harder sound and lyrics which the Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music characterised as presenting a need for salvation with a viewpoint from arminian theology.[5] In retrospect HM magazine editor Doug Van Pelt found the record to be disappointing compared to their debut.[1]
Trytan disbanded in the early 1990s. Lary Dean started a ministry in 1991 which had evolved into the Heart Maneuvers Christian Fellowship church by 1993.[6] Scott Blackman, drummer on Celestial Messenger, eventually became an associate pastor there. Lary Dean continued to work in the Chicago music scene.[6]
As of July 2020, Trytan has reformed, and is currently finishing up work on a new album entitled "Blood Of Kings"
