MUSIC

Before having a successful career as an illusionist, Criss Angel tried for years to become a successful musician. Criss attempted to merge the worlds of magic and music together by forming various rock bands throughout the 1980s and 90s with varying degrees of success. Criss' love for music ultimately helped further his career in magic when it came to creating and producing music for his TV specials, Mindfreak TV series, and ultimately, his Cirque du Soleil stage show and Spike TV series Criss Angel BeLIEve.

Criss has also collaborated with other successful artists, including Sully Erna, Jonathan Davis (Korn), Klay Scott/Klayton (Celldweller), and most recently DJ Krash and Three Six Mafia. These collaborations, as well as CDs that have been released over the years, are listed below, beginning with the most recent.

Celldweller continues to be a source of inspiration for Criss Angel, and his music is often used in his live shows in Vegas and on tour.

Two standout songs include "It Makes No Difference Who We Are," played during Criss Angel's "Blackstar" silver dollar coin routine in Vegas and on tour, and "Just Like You," which is the opening song in Criss Angel RAW.

Celldweller's music can be purchased on iTunes here.

In the Fall of 2013, Criss began tweeting about a song called "How I Feel" by up & coming music star DJ Krash. The song is used as background music in several illusions on the Spike TV series BeLIEve. Not much is known about DJ Krash, but he does have his own web site and Twitter account @realdjkrash.

Release Date - 2006

Prior to the release of the Mindfreak A&E TV Series soundtrack, a promo CD featuring "MF2" was released to radio stations.

According to the CD text, MF2 was the first "single" from the soundtrack to be released, although you could not buy MF2 as a separate single to my knowledge. This CD is very rare; it is unknown how many were made and sent to radio.

Release Date - 2000

Criss Angel collaborated with Klay Scott (now known as Klayton) and released a series of 3 albums in 2000, titled System 1 in the Trilogy, System 2 in the Triology, and System 3 in the Trilogy, respectively.

The music from these albums was featured prodominantly in Criss Angel's magic shows in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Mindfreak A&E TV series, and even the BeLIEve Spike TV series.

Reworked versions of a handful of these songs appear on the Mindfreak A&E TV Series Soundtrack.

The music on System 1 in the Trilogy is identical to an earlier 1998 release, Musical Conjurings from World of Illusion, released by Angeldust (see below).

Release Date - 1998

The first known music that Criss Angel released was not released by "Criss Angel" at all, but rather "Angeldust", an industrial band formed by Criss Angel and Klay Scott in 1995.

The duo released this album in 1998, but disbanded soon after; three other albums featuring Criss Angel and Klay Scott were released in 2000 under the name "Criss Angel", not "Angeldust" (see above).

This album is very rare and difficult to come by. The images to the left are high-quality images of the front cover, back cover, and CD.
