about

Albania's Crossbones' first rehearsals took place in a friend’s house basement... hell yeah... and they hit the road to play Rock 'N' Roll with powerful explosive vocals, heavy guitar riffs and breathtaking drums.

The original line-up was Olsi Ballta (vocals) and Arbi Xhelo (guitar), then Klodi Shehu (guitar) and Alban Male (drums & keyboards) joined the band and up until 1998 they always had session bass players. At this time Fatjon Gjashta joined the band as a bass player until 2000 when he left the band and moved to USA.

The band had no name until Olsi opened an Albanian-English dictionary and picked the first word of a page he randomly opened…and it was CROSSBONES (1995).

Crossbones performed live at several concerts and rock festivals in Tirana and Durrës, Albania, and Skopie, Macedonia.

“Crossbones Thrash / Metal band from Albania managed to keep the crowd moving...that's for sure” - (comment taken from Rock 'n' roll Los Angeles Magazine 2000)..

Crossbones are the 1st Albanian rock band to have a CD released, it was called "Days Of Rage" and was released in 1997. It was recorded in a home studio.

Crossbones had never had a record deal because in Albania there’s no such industry for rock music and the only way is to look around in other countries. We have recorded lots of songs since our 1st album, but we never released a second one due to financial and sponsor support issues and because of what we mentioned above.

Maybe it’s time to make a serious step to go to the next level. If any record label, radio, magazine, fanzine, festivals, sponsors related with the rock music, want to help us out… they are more than welcome. We just want to have the chance to prove ourselves.

Hails to our fans in Albania and all around the world!!! We’ll never disappoint you!!!
Stay heavy & Keep on Rockin' babe!!!
