Trytan is a Christian progressive / glam metal / hard rock band from Chicago, Illinois, musically similar to Rush.
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. In retrospect HM magazine editor Doug Van Pelt found the record to be disappointing compared to their debut. Scott Blackman, drummer on Celestial Messenger, eventually became an associate pastor there. Lary Dean continued to work in the Chicago music scene. HM Magazine, The Phantom Tollbooth)
