"Lonely" comes from Transcendence, the second album from Crimson Glory, the American heavy metal band, which hit the racks in 1988 on Roadracer in Europe and MCA in the States and which many consider the band's finest record. It was cut at Morrisound Studios, with Jim Morris engineering "Lonely" and Scott Burns assisting.
The album's drum sound came from a studio trick: the band sampled Dana Burnell playing live into a Synclavier with no cymbals, then recorded the cymbals later on their own, so drums and cymbals stayed completely separate. Black Lotus Records announced a remastered edition in 2006, to be called Transcendence: Renovatio, but the label shut down soon after and it never appeared.
