Welcome to the musical spawn that is The Sixth Crusade. Formed originally in October 2006, the band consisted of Kyle Cote (guitars), Connor Linning (drums), Shayne Gold (bass) and Rob O'day (vocals). It was in these days that Cote wrote the first true Crusade song, by the name of Eternity in the Abyss. Rob O'day was later booted from the band, and the Crusade recruited Nolan Reid on drums, which resulted in Shayne moving to vocals and Connor moving to bass in 2007. After rehearsing, for a while, Kyle and Connor departed ways with friends Shayne and Nolan and have since recorded 5 new songs, and have written a handful more.
The Crusade is looking stronger then ever, and it's time to choose sides; fight with us, or be defeated.
