A HILL TO DIE UPON - HOLY DESPAIR
World War I provided
the impetus for the theme of despair on A Hill To Die Upon's third
black metal masterpiece. Plastic surgery was discovered because of
inhumane wounds inflicted upon soldiers and civilians. Eyelids burned
off require the doctor to pull skin from the patient's uninjured areas
and grafts it like a bandit's mask onto the face. Post-traumatic Stress
Syndrome forever haunts these victims. Search videos of victims of WW I
"shell shock, wounds, and war." Try to understand what they went
through. See how meaningless and unnecessary the Great War was. More
than 1.5 million died in the Battle of the Somme alone. Two literary
giants (C.S. Lewis & J.R.R Tolkien) survived, but who did we lose?
Holy Despair was released in 2014, exactly one hundred years after the
beginning of the "war to end all wars." Nekyia is a Greek ritual
sacrifice performed to call forth spirits from the Underworld so that
the living may communicate with them (see Homer's Odyssey). When
performing Nekyia, one had to dig a pit and pour in the blood of a
black ram. The ghosts would smell the blood and come to drink. Once
your ghost drank the blood, you could ask whatever questions you had
and converse with the dead. Nekyia seemed like the perfect metaphor for
the trenches of World War I. Pits were dug and blood was poured into
the fruitless soil. Holy Despair showcases extravagant lyrical depth
and musical brutality to reach deep into the soul of the humanity and
boldly call out grave injustice and senseless human suffering. Join A
Hill To Die Upon in being impacted with reverent Holy Despair. God
desires so much more for humanity. We should too. For fans of the
blackened death metal of Behemoth, 1349, and Dimmuborgir!

ACCUSER - AGITATION
When talking about
Teutonic (German) Thrash Legend Pioneers it's essential to speak of
ACCUuER with the same hushed reverence as SODOM, KREATOR, and
DESTRUCTION. ACCUuER is a thrash metal band from Kreuztal, Germany that
formed in the early 80's flying the crunchy speed & thrash metal
flag with all the fervor of the most intense mosh pit imaginable.
Despite not landing a contract with a major label for their early
albums, the band continued to release a string of successful
underground releases before disbanding for eight years. After Frank and
RenAc decided to get Accuser back together, the saga continued with the
band releasing one album with Century Media and their three most recent
albums with Metal Blade Records. The guitars are energetic and thick as
a brick with aggressive melodic vocals. ACCUuER is the perfect band for
those who worship at the altar of technical thrash and speed metal in
the vein of classic Metallica, Slayer, Believer, Death Angel, Dark
Angel and Deliverance. With such strong lyrical content and musical
brilliance, fans can now have access to these previously high-priced
collectibles. AGITATION's 2022 Remaster on Brutal Planet Records is
essential head-banging!

ALLIES - ALLIES
With the 1985 debut
album, Allies took the CCM world by storm with their brand of AOR
commercial rock featuring mega-hooks with a distinct bite! Fans of Van
Halen, Idle Cure, Journey, later period Sweet Comfort Band, and Petra
would lose their minds as the band toured and dominated both radio and
CCM sales charts. The 1986 sophomore release, Virtues would build on
the band's strengths - melody, harmony, and massive hooks! Both the
self-titled debut and Virtues are considered to be Christian rock
royalty and this is the first time collector's will be able to enjoy
these classics digitally remastered with 12 page inserts, an Allies
foil-stamped trading card (in each release), and a must-read 2021
interview with guitarist, Randy Thomas that starts in the debut album,
and concludes in the Virtues CD (get them both to read the entire
interview and get both trading cards!).

ALLIES - VIRTUES
Remembered primarily
as the first successful pairing of Bob Carlisle and Randy Thomas, the
Allies produced classic rock-pop albums that were ahead of their time
for the Christian market in the late '80s. Before the Allies, Thomas
was already well known in Christian circles for his role in the highly
influential group, Sweet Comfort Band (which also included Bryan
Duncan). The demise of that seminal act led
him to contact old friends for a reunion of ex's from two previous
outings: he had played with Carlisle and Jim Erikson in the 1970's band
Psalm 150 (which also included future members of Andraé Crouch's
Disciples, Damn Yankees, and Night Ranger) and with Sam Scott and Matt
Chapman in a group called Sonrise. Thus in 1984 the Allies were born in
San Bernardino, California. In later years, Chapman would turn up
playing bass in Clash of Symbols, and Carlisle would earn fame for his
ballad "Butterfly Kisses," written with Thomas.

AMOS, DANIEL - DOPPLEGANGER: THE ALARMA CHRONICLES VOL.II
The most creative
artists of alternative ccm are often consigned to the gospel market
ghetto, while in actuality making artistic statements that perceive
popular trends before their time. The great genius of pop music most
hurt by this injustice is Terry Taylor of DA, and the strongest support
for this argument can be found on the band's great classic album,
Doppelganger. Taylor's brilliant satire of popular culture "Mall" the
radio station in St Paul, MN began giving significant support to an
enjoyable, but lesser song with almost the exact lyrics and ideas,
"Escalator of Life," right down to the mannequin imagery. Taylor's
brilliant attacks on televangelists in "I Didn't Build it For Me" and
"New Car" predate the Swaggart/Bakker and more recent Robert Tilton
fiascos. Elsewhere, as in "Here I Am," "Youth With A Machine" and
"Autographs for the Sick," DA predates ideas that have made others a
heap of money in pursuit of MTV fame & teenage superstardom. This
is the record that was amazingly ahead of its time. This is the DA
record that could have catapulted them into mainstream success if
anybody had invested enough money into their career. This is the record
you should buy immediately. No serious alternative music fan, Christian
or otherwise, should miss this record. After nearly three decades it
sounds no worse for the wear. In partnership, Stunt Records and Born
Twice Records offer the Two-Disc Collector's Edition of Doppelganger by
Daniel Amos. Disc one presents the album as you remember it, with
remastered sonic clarity you may not have experienced before. Disc two
gives you era-adjacent live versions, demos, and DA-oriented ephemera,
letting the listener into the process of how this remarkable album was
made and how it was received. Both discs have been remastered by the
best in the business - J Powell at Steinhaus who carefully accentuates
the original magic of this classic release. Comes in a 6-Panel Digipak
with a 24-page booklet.

Dimmu Borgir, Sifg, and Cradle of Filth.

BARNABAS - APPROACHING LIGHT SPEED
Part of the Legends
Remastered series on Retroactive Records! With the 1983 album
Approaching Light Speed, Barnabas released what many still consider to
be one of the very best albums in Christian progressive metal. With
this release the band pulled everything together and upped the
"Wow-Factor" to a new level. With the raging guitars of "No Freedom"
launching the album to new heights, the album continued to progress and
show artistic growth and maturity in astounding ways. Combine that with
cutting-edge lyrics, spacey keyboards interlaced throughout, and
textured guitars building to new sonic extremes, and metalheads
everywhere were hooked. The recording and the mix of the album also
went to new levels, allowing the depth of the music and songs to shine.
Each instrument can be heard perfectly, and Nancy Jo's vocals penetrate
the soul. Did we mention the guitars? They are LOUD! They are METAL.
And, from this point on, they would define the Barnabas sound. In honor
of 40 amazing years of Barnabas, this Retroactive Records reissue is
packaged in a jewel case featuring a 12 page full color booklet with
lyrics and band pictures, and writes-ups from both the label owner,
Matthew Hunt, and Doug Peterson of Down The Line Zine. For fans of
Rush, Dio, Resurrection Band, Vixen, Daniel Band, and Kansas (if they
were metal!).

BARNABAS - FEEL THE FIRE
Barnabas developed a
style of music that straddled the fence between energetic, aggressive
power metal (like Iron Maiden, Dio, or Black Sabbath) and experimental
progressive rock (like Rush, Styx, or Marillion). On top of the music
soared the vocals of a chain-chompin' banshee lead singer who was all
about putting her boot up the dark one's back side. The overriding
question for Feel the Fire was obvious. Considering the artistic and
commercial success of 1983's Approaching Light Speed, could the band
capture lightning in a bottle twice? Barnabas was an amazing band, both
because they were the heaviest Christian band of their era, and also
one of the most creative lyrically and musically. They were as
musically adventurous as Rush, but they would also put the hammer down
and at any moment to grind out some extremely heavy metal - which they
were doing a couple of years before the likes of Barren Cross,
Philadelphia, Saint, Messiah Prophet, and Stryper appeared. And, while
the band proved even more progressive in their metal for this release,
the trademark foundations remained intact - smokin' guitars and
top-notch instrumentation. With Feel the Fire, the band expanded the
boundaries of Christian metal. Not satisfied with creating art by
numbers or being a cookie-cutter band, it would be many years before
anyone in Christian metal circles would touch the depth and creativity
of Barnabas. With Feel the Fire, fans were treated to a mesmerizing
magic slab of metal. One that couldn't be ignored or shaken. One that
was impossibly irresistible and memorable. Indeed, Barnabas was unique
in the truest sense.

BARNABAS - FIND YOUR HEART A HOME
Part of the Legends
Remastered series on Retroactive Records! On Find Your Heart A Home,
the remastered sound gives the album a second wind. The guitars and
bass get their due place in the recording. This second album finds
Barnabas losing Monte Cooley and gaining two guitarists, Mick Donner
and Kris Brauminger, who play quite proficiently. Keyboards become a
staple element due to bassist Mann's love for full arrangements. Find
Your Heart A Home has a myriad of rock variation, from the hard
rollicking to the blues-infused and even a bit of funkiness. In honor
of the 40th Anniversary of Barnabas, all five albums will be reissued
by Retroactive Records in 2017! The 2017 reissue features a complete
remaster by Rob Colwell of Bombworks sound guaranteeing the album has
never sounded better. This treasured classic is packaged in a jewel
case with a 12 page booklet insert featuring write ups, band history,
band pictures, and lyrics that make sure the album has never looked

BARNABAS - HEAR THE LIGHT
Part of the Legends
Remastered series on Retroactive Records! When Barnabas embarked on
their musical journey with the now critically acclaimed debut release,
Hear the Light (1980), there were few bands doing anything like them in
the faith community. There was Resurrection Band in Chicago, Bill Mason
Band and Ishmael United in the UK, and Andy McCarroll & Moral
Support in Ireland. When Hear The Light came out in 1980, it was truly
unique punk-esque with a Christian identity. Barnabas, in their early
formation, had guitarist Monte Cooley, who could write fast numbers
with infectious distortion like no other. What placed Barnabas on top
of the rock pile were Nancy Jo Mann's soaring vocals, backed by a beefy
and intricate rhythm section. In honor of the 40th Anniversary of
Barnabas, all five albums will be reissued by Retroactive Records in
2017! The 2017 reissue features a complete remaster by Rob Colwell of
Bombworks sound guaranteeing the album has never sounded better. This

BARNABAS - LITTLE FOXES
On 1986's Little
Foxes, Brian Belew's pyrotechnic guitar leads continued to push the
sound of Barnabas over the top. He was well known as a human dynamo of
an axeman, one who routinely wow'd audiences by combining in-concert
acrobatics with the fact that he never missed a note! Brian had an
amazing ability to use tapping techniques, (pioneered by Eddie Van
Halen), in incendiary ways that had never been heard before in
Christian rock. Gary Mann's bass style was heavily influenced by
bassists Geddy Lee of Rush and Dave Hope of Kansas. Gary drove the band
from beneath, his playing coupling beautifully with the powerhouse
drumming of Kris Klingensmith. Kris emerged as a talented lyricist,
writing the words to nearly all of the band's songs on the last three
albums as well as the notable words on the back cover of the Little
Foxes album. Little Foxes marks the next step of Barnabas moving beyond
the experimental and progressive sounds of Approaching Light Speed and
Feel the Fire to embrace an all-out metal assault. Gone are most of the
complex progressive pieces with keyboards that gave the listener
moments to breathe on previous albums. Little Foxes is overflowing with
urgency and is nothing less than full-on bombastic heavy metal at it's
finest! The band seemed to know their final collective voice needed
music as heavy as the message. Even in 2017, the message and the
in-your-face metallic riffage remain engaging and mesmerizing. For fans
of Jerusalem, Philadelphia, Metal Church, Saint, Testament, and Accept!

BARREN CROSS - ATOMIC ARENA
By the time 1988's
Atomic Arena was released, fans had already been whipped into a feeding
frenzy with the song Deadlock being included on the massively popular
California Metal Compilation. The song demonstrated a significant leap
forward from anything the band had ever done. Fans were demanding more,
and it's hard to believe Barren Cross could have delivered a more
perfect album than Atomic Arena. Most noticeably, the songwriting had
matured with topics including abortion, suicide, cults and substance
abuse - all presented in a skilled manner. Now signed to Enigma Records
the band was labelmates with Ratt, Slayer, Poison, and Stryper and
MTV's embrace of the album's opener, Imaginary Music showed that's
exactly where they belonged. Mike Lee's charismatic
Dickinson-influenced lead vocal style was perfect for an album that
featured dominating fast-fingered shredding guitar work, resounding
monster bass lines, and drums that pummeled the heart and soul of the
most dedicated heavy metal fan. Yes, Atomic Arena was special and
that's why the album was voted #11 on Heaven's Metal Magazine's Top 100
Christian Metal Albums of All-Time. The 2020 reissue has been
remastered to perfection and comes with deluxe packaging. This is the
ultimate reissue for one of Christian metal's ultimate albums.

BARREN CROSS - HOTTER THAN HELL! LIVE
Nearing the end of
relentlessly touring the Atomic Arena album, and having only two
releases under the band's belt, Barren Cross pulled into the
International Ballroom in Pico Rivera, CA to record this game changing
live release. For many, Barren Cross defined "heavy metal" and Hotter
Than Hell! Live only confirmed that conviction. Studio albums are
supposed to be produced, calculated, and pristine. Live albums are
supposed to let the band breathe and let the musician's talent and
expertise shine though with no filters. That's exactly what happens
with Hotter Than Hell! And that is why the band comes across like a
full-throttle freight train - louder and more theatrical with an elite
vocal performance and exquisite shredding guitars creating a metallic
landscape making any metal fan feel compelled to instantly shoot up the
Dio metal horns. The album also give bassist, Jim LaVerde the chance to
thump his bass into oblivion, wielding his axe to some very memorable
moments. Also included are two songs not found on any other Barren
Cross release - "Opus To The Third Heaven" which is an all-out band jam
and might be their most artistic and creative venture ever. The second
unreleased track is "King Jesus & Blues Jam" which is a bluesy
metal romp with non-stop soloing and elite axemanship. What cannot be
denied is the sheer quality of every song on this live album as it
includes 14 of the most important metal anthems that impacted the lives
of metal fans in the 1980's. The 2020 Retroactive Records reissue gives
this powerful album the deluxe treatment it deserves with an expanded
booklet and a brilliant remaster that allows the magic of the original
release to impact the listener more powerfully than ever before. So
never forget, "he's the rock, the great I Am, the reason why we sing,
he's the King of kings, the master of all things, the power and the
source, the everlasting force."

BARREN CROSS - RATTLE YOUR CAGE
Released in 1994,
this album got sandwiched between trendy grunge rock and alternative
hipsters that thought "metal" was a dirty word. Metal bands were having
the life sucked out of them. "Hairband" was a derogatory term, and
stars of the LA Strip scene were treated like an embarrassing drunk
uncle. Despite the anti-metal sentiments, Barren Cross defied all odds
and put out an epic classic metal/hard rock album on Rugged Records.
That label folded and the album went out of print almost as soon as it
was released. While their 80s albums were more polished power metal
meets LA glam, Rattle Your Cage has a production that is somewhat raw
and stripped down. It's special to hear the band ripping full-throttle
bluesy hard rock with an ever so slight 1970s throw back sound
reminiscent of Die Happy and Badlands. Though a couple tracks here
sound like they could have easily fit on the State of Control era
format, expect classic American-styled hard rock featuring one AOR
anthem after another. Fully remastered by Bombworks Sound for CD and
Vinyl these deluxe reissue are vastly improved with all new artwork by
Scott Waters of NoLifeTilMetal. The CD comes with a band foil-stamped
trading card and the vinyl record comes with a 12x12 full color lyrics
insert. For fans of Great White, Cinderella, Giant, and Black Stone
Cherry, Kiss, and especially Guns N' Roses!

BARREN CROSS - STATE OF CONTROL
Remember those metal
cassettes in your collection that had the song titles worn off, and
even if you weren't religious you prayed that it would play just one
more time for fear it would wear out? 1989's State of Control by Barren
Cross was that cassette in many-a-metal fan's collection. Along with
Stryper and Guardian, Barren Cross was one of the few bands that
actually appealed to metal fans who didn't shop in Christian bookstores
for their music. With the band's third release they once again expanded
their lyrical content to tackle real-life issues like racism and
relationships. Mike Lee shows more diversity with this vocal
performance by channeling his inner Bruce Dickinson with a raspy voice
and the operatic vocals showing only for the higher notes and choruses.
The impact of producers John and Dino Elefante is significant with
State. adding even more AOR pitch-perfect choruses in the background
that gives this melodic heavy metal album its fair share of commercial
appeal. One thing is for sure, the album includes exquisite rhythm
parts, amazing solos, and everything you expect from elite heavy metal
which is why it came in at #32 on the CMR Top 100 Christian Metal
Albums. The 2020 Retroactive Records reissue is a collector's dream
featuring a 16-page insert and a brilliant remaster (finally!). And, as
a special treat for fans, this reissue includes both bonus tracks,
"Your Love Gives" and "Escape in the Night." Few metal albums impacted

BELIEVER - TRANSHUMAN
Transhumanism: The
study of the ramifications, promises, and potential dangers of
technologies that will enable us to overcome fundamental human
limitations, and the related study of the ethical matters involved in
developing and using such technologies.
Few albums in the metal genre transcend greatness like Transhuman.
Repackaged with an expanded 12-page booklet (with jewel case),
digitally remastered (Rob Colwell / Bombworks Sound), and every CD
comes with the exclusive foil-stamped trading card. All this is
intended to delight and tantalize collector's who take their music
seriously - sound - packaging - extras. Check - check - check.
Bombworks Records knows how to take care of fans and collectors.
Musically, Transhuman shows the band's willingness to grow and mature
while still nurturing the fans who love the first three albums. In
fact, the album from the band's past that Transhuman reminds us of most
is Dimensions. If not in exact style, it resonates firmly in metallic
innovation. Few bands have the talent and ability to embrace such an
aggressive, technical, and progressive vibe, while sounding so unique.
Voivod, Watchtower, Extol, Sadus, and Tourniquet can claim such elite
status in the metal world - but Believer defines such categorization
and claims ultimate power with their sovereign 2011 masterpiece,
Transhuman.

ominous, haunting, aggressive? Check. Tiago is a legit maestro with an
axe in his hands and is guaranteed to induce legendary, instantaneous
drooling straight from your mouth to the floor (we can offer a drool
towel for your convenience :-). Chaz is an A+ vocalist who transitions
from aggressive thrash vocals to perfect prog metal vocals at the drop
of a hat. Just as you have come to expect with Tiago's work with
Perpetual Paranoia (all thee of their albums are must-have metal), Rise
of the Phoenix is a whirlwind of creativity and jaw-dropping
progressions. The album is as dominating as they come. For those who
like their music definitively HEAVY....this is your 2021 album of the
year. Yes, it's THAT brilliant. 12-page booklet with lyrics, and every
CD comes with a foil-stamped band trading card. For fans of Iced Earth,
Perpetual Paranoia, Slayer, Believer, Fear Factory, Nevermore, Jacob's
Dream, and Mortification.

BLOODGOOD - DANGEROUSLY CLOSE
The Beatles once
sang, "It was twenty years ago today / Sgt. Pepper taught the band to
play." In 1993, the trailblazing metal missionaries, Bloodgood, who
taught and inspired many in the Christian metal realm how to play
passionate music of both substance and power, took a hiatus to raise
their families. But twenty years later in 2013, the band emerged
unexpectedly to release their sixth studio album, Dangerously Close.
You might think after so long a break, the band was ready to smooth out
the metal onslaught and lean toward the mellow side of things. But
those notions were soon detonated with the first opening sledgehammer
riffs of "Lamb of God." Throughout twelve tracks, the passion and
potent musicianship of this iconic band bleed through with a band that
rocks hard with pulsating fury and intelligently written lyrics of
faith that convict and inspire. Vocalist Les Carlsen has lost none of
his vocal pyrotechnics, as the band, which includes Stryper's Oz Fox,
pounds out anthems for a modern world. Les is joined by the twin guitar
assault of Fox and Paul Jackson, together with the tight rhythm section
of Michael Bloodgood and Kevin Whisler proving this band can still set
the world on fire.
Girder Records is proud to offer this modern classic in a Limited
Edition CD, with new artwork that matches the vinyl version, and
featuring the bonus track, "The Word," a Beatles cover, previously only
available on the version released on the Swedish label Doolittle Group.
Don't hesitate to snatch up this gem before you find yourself missing
out on one of the band's finest musical achievements.

BOLDMAN, LOYD - SLEEP WITHOUT DREAMS (30TH ANN. EDITION)
Loyd Boldman is the
man most people credit as the lead vocalist and keyboardist of the epic
80's Christian rock band, Prodigal. The reality is that at least three
guys shared the lead vocals but without a doubt Loyd's big baritone
rock voice could fill stadiums with his whispers! Yes, it's that
powerful! After Prodigal released their third and last album in 1985,
Loyd took the time to write and release some massive rock music with
1988's Sleep Without Dreams. Now most fans never knew this release
existed, let alone owned it because Loyd self released this album on
his own independent record label and only released it on cassette. But
when Retroactive Records licensed the reissues of the Prodigal titles,
they couldn't resist the opportunity to reissue Loyd's rock masterpiece
on CD for the very first time ever! The album has been digitally
remastered from the master tapes, and packaged in a jewel case with a
12 page booklet featuring amazing band pics, lyrics and a special
tribute to Loyd written by Prodigal guitarist and long time friend,
Rick Fields. Limited to just 500 copies, be sure to get this CD now
while it's readily available!

BRIDE - HERE IS YOUR GOD
Bride has been
releasing music for more than 30 years, and they are still going
strong! "Here Is Your God" is the band's 16th studio album. It picks up
where "Snake Eyes" left off and takes it to a whole new level. This
album has major cojones! Here Is Your God, seamlessly blends elements
from the first six Bride albums, creating nothing short of an epic hard
rock and metal masterpiece. It's heavy as a freight train, and it's as
melodic as Kinetic Faith & Snakes in the Playground. Some bands
play around with sound, trying to appeal to modern fans, but Bride went
back to their roots with Here Is Your God. This just might be the
band's most accomplished moment and best release - ever. It's that
good. Trust us! Expect a heavier, grittier sound more in line with
mid-period Motley Crue (Girls, Girls, Girls & Dr. Feelgood eras).
The Thompson brothers are skilled professionals in both style and
execution, and this is one more Bride album that shows exactly why this
band is the single most prolific Christian hard rock band ever -
period. No band does heavy riffs, screaming guitar solos, and belting
vocals better than Bride. The album captures all the brilliance of
classic Bride, while reminding fans this band is definitely getting
better with age. While it may be true that Here Is Your God could be
the last push for these ground-breaking/genre-defining rockers, there
is no denying the age-defying quality and intensity contained within
these 12 songs. Dale sounds better than ever - his vocals right high up
in the mix - and the venerable guitars of Troy cut through with
conviction like it was 1990/1991 all over again. Brazilian, Aposan
delivers a nice mix of speed and traditional classic hard rock/metal
drumming, and Nenel's bass rumble drives Bride's rhythm as steady and
prolific as it comes. The jewel case CD version comes with a 12-page
booklet and each CD has one foil stamped trading card (either Dale or
Troy Thompson - collect them both!).

BRIDE - INCORRUPTIBLE
Since their debut
album took the Christian metal world by storm in 1986, Bride spent the
next three decades demonstrating musical brilliance every step of the
way. The band treated fan loyalty with sensational music, and thought
provoking lyrics in a musical genre known best for pushing the musical
equivalent of processed generic cheese down the throats of Christian
hard rock enthusiasts. While contemporaries like Whitecross, Guardian,
Barren Cross, and yes, even Stryper (with whom the band toured and the
lead vocalist position was offered to Bride vocalist, Dale Thompson in
the 90?s) all ?broke up? or took an extended hiatus - Bride never
failed their fans, never broke up, and never made excuses. With
Incorruptible, the band continues to push the envelope, delivering what
critics are calling the best record of their distinguished career!
Packaged in a full color 6 panel digipak, Bride?s 2013 release is both
visually and musically stunning! For fans of Guns ?n Roses, Guardian,
Extreme, and Stryper!

BRIDE - INTO THE MATRIX (1983-84)
Matrix was formed in
1983 and came to an end in 1985 when Troy and Dale signed their first
record deal with Pure Metal Records. The name Matrix was changed to
Bride during the signing of the contract. This also marked a transition
from the Matrix sound to the heavier and more aggressive metal sounds
of Bride. The original drummer, Steve Childress was replaced after two
recording projects with Joey Johnson who lasted one project. Stephan
Rolland replaced Joey and became the very first Bride drummer. Matrix
played anywhere and everywhere they possibly could - churches, night
clubs, and coffee houses. Matrix played wherever the doors were open!
Painted in makeup, wearing spandex, teased hair, jumping off
amplifiers, and setting off explosions on stage - they constantly
pushed the boundaries of what a "Christian" band could do and be. Their
big break came in 1985 when they opened a show in Pottstown, PA for
Christian hard rockers, Daniel Band. Pure Metal Records/Refuge Music
Group saw the performance and signed them to a contract that would
begin a marvelous and diverse career as leaders in the Christian hard
music scene for decades to come. The songs that appear on this disc are
from the recordings of PG-13 & Monkey See, Monkey Do. Both were
cassette only releases. Some of these tracks would go on to be
re-recorded and used on future Bride releases. These are the original
tracks, as recorded by Matrix in 1983 and 1984. This 2014 Retroactive
Records reissue comes in a full color 4-panel digipak, completely
remastered by the ultimate mastering guru, J Powell at Steinhaus. Never
before have these songs been heard with the warmth, depth, and sheer
grit that now exudes off of this top notch classic reissue. Long out of
print, Retroactive went the extra mile by providing superb artwork to
go with this long out of print reissue. Limited Edition. For fans of
classic Bride, Guns 'n Roses, Whitecross, Stryper!

BROWN, JIMMY P. II - ERASERHEAD
For years
Deliverance icon and creative mastermind has tried to balance speaking
to fans of the thrash metal years, and fans of the Deliverance
"creative years". With Jimmy P. Brown II's Eraserhead Jimmy is making a
name change for the Deliverance sound that is full on heavy, metal,
progressive, dark, and ultra-creative (but not thrash or speed metal!).
Featuring Manny Morales on bass, and Jon Knox (Adam Again, White Heart,
Great White) on drums - this is the same trio responsible for the epic
Deliverance releases titled Learn and River Disturbance which both
feature Jimmy Brown as a master axeman on rhythm and lead guitars. The
album features the best musicians, the best songs, and the best music
they have ever done. It's the ultimate ear candy for fans of Jimmy P.
Brown II and the creative years Deliverance crew. CD comes with 12 page

CASSELLS, ROB - BAND - STORMING THE CASSELS GATE
Evening Pastoral
(DISC ONE) is Rob's first album, released in 1979. Blues, jazz, Prog,
and Southern Rock. The album, which few have heard and has long been
considered a rare gem by collectors, featured a young Steve Morse on
guitar. Morse had just launched The Dixie Dregs, and would eventually
go on to play with Kansas, Deep Purple, and Flying Colors as well. But
back in '77 he was still just getting started with The Dregs, and with
Morse's help, Cassel's passion, and the growing community forming
around the music and the mission, Evening Pastoral was a solid debut
that sparked bigger things for Rob and his friends. Kamikaze Christian
(DISC TWO) was their second album recorded in 1982 and is more rock
oriented). Although clinging to their "Southern Boogie" roots, Kamikaze
leaned harder into the emerging hard rock sound that bands like Van
Halen and Aerosmith were taking to FM radio and MTV. The album's
single, "You Think I'm Crazy" played off the questions bystanders might
ask about the seemingly illogical actions of someone caught up in the
transformational power of love. Youth group kids relished the
opportunity to own the craziness of radical faith, while Cassels found
mainstream audiences receptive as well. Off The Wall (DISC THREE) In
1987 the band released an even more fully produced, and carefully
conceived album called Off The Wall. The title track referred
specifically to an inmate having his life changed by reading John 3:16
on his cell wall. The album may have seemed even more aggressive to
mainstream Christian rock fans at the time, but the band knew who their
audience was, and it was increasingly not church folks. 5 New Bonus
Tracks (Also on DISC THREE) Five newer songs are included in this
collection. "The Lord's Prayer," which features guitar work by both
Morse and John Pickens of The Marshall Tucker Band, came to Cassels in
a sort of vision and includes a 32-voice children's choir. "The Father
In Me" was written for Cassel's daughter's wedding. "Cry Of My Heart"
brings back the old-school blues shuffle, "The Right Road" is a guitar
explosion, and "He Be Coming Back" slows things down a bit, bringing in
some of the older, B3-laced, psych-rock groove of Cassel's roots. These
newer songs, though tracked over thirty years later than the other
songs in this collection, feel right at home.

CHRISTIAN, CHRIS - CHRIS CHRISTIAN 1981
As the first artist
signed to Boardwalk Records owned by Neil Bogart, with Bob Gaudio (Four
Seasons) producing, he recorded "I Want You, I Need You," which peaked
at No. 37 on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1981 and reached the No.
8 on Billboard Adult Contemporary Chart. "I Want You, I Need You" was a
number one song in some countries outside the US. Cheryl Ladd sings
back-up on the song along with many other artists on the album
including Christopher Cross, Nigel Olsson, Frankie Valli, Dann Huff,
Tommy Funderburk, Bill Champlin, Paul Jackson, Amy Holland, and Robbie
Patton. Other artists on Boardwalk were Ringo Starr, Joan Jett, Mike
Love (Beach Boys), and Night Ranger. Robert Kardashian (the
Kardashians' father) was his best friend, manager and was responsible
for Chris signing with Boardwalk Records. A second hit, a medley of the
1968 Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell Motown songs "Ain't Nothing Like the
Real Thing" and "You're All I Need to Get By" sung with Amy Holland,
hit No. 21 on the Adult Contemporary chart and No. 88 on the Hot 100 in
1982.
Long out-of-print, and never before available on CD in the US, this
collector's dream has been digitally remastered by Rob Colwell of
Bombworks Sound, features exclusive photos packaged in a deluxe 16-page

CORONER - NO MORE COLOR (GOLD DISC EDITION)
No More Color is
widely accepted the the epitome of perfect melodic technical thrash - -
from the reunited Swiss trio. Imagine if Rush was heavier and more
brutal, yet still painted glorious, swirling melodies, both guitar and
bass. It's akin to a churning maelstrom of subtle, rich brutality; the
kind of thing you'd listen to in a stage coach headed to a certain
Count's castle in the Carpathian Mountains. Cheese grater sharp riffs
slicing up and down your back for days, flowing bass lines that at
times accentuate both the guitars AND drums, rasped out snarling vocals
as opposed to the cookie monster, blink and you'll lose your place in
the lyric sheet rumbled roaring that was so popular in the latter half
of the eighties and still reigns today. Lyrics are intelligent; the
closing song "T.V. Bizarre: Last Entertainment" even managed to foresee
and rag on the senseless wave of reality television that now rules the
airwaves. Other incredible tunes are opener "Die By My Hand," "Why It
Hurts" and the incomparable, "Read My Scars." And, it's all encased
inside a scant but perfect album length - just under 34 minutes. The
2022 Brutal Planet Records remaster comes on a Gold Disc for the first
time ever, is packaged in a jewel case, and each CD includes a free
Gold-Foil stamped collector card (first pressing only)!

CORONER - PUNISHMENT FOR DECADENCE (GOLD DISC EDITION)
The third album,
Punishment For Decadence, by Switzerland's Coroner is arguably the
band's peak in song writing and technicality, which doesn't prevent it
from having classic hardcore punk inspired fast snare beats, as in the
opening track, one of the best on this almost flawless album. It is a
maze of riffs and beats without losing it's aggressiveness, it is as if
Rust In Peace era Megadeth decided to get even more technical and
lyrically more in tune with their first album. For those who wish
Megadeth could've offered a much tidier and technical discography,
doing something that was logical as a follow-up to Rust In Peace,
Coroner is the band you need check out, as the band is one of the few
thrash bands always seen referred to as as Tech-Thrash. The drumming is
head spinning, the guitar and bass are extremely intricate but without
getting into a masturbatory celebration of their skills, like what
Dream Theatre did to a lot of 90's "metalheads" who were only into the
music because it was 10 min solos and no sense of songwriting, Coroner
does not do that. There are even choruses you can remember, not
normally something "prog metal" bands can claim. The vocalist/bassist
is intelligible, elite, and very much in the vein of classic thrash
bands like Slayer and Metallica. The album is filled with absolutely
insane timings, tempo changes and dizzying rhythms. Soloing is in the
upper tier of thrash soloing too. Without a doubt, Punishment... is one
of the band's finest moments along with 1990's "No More Color." The
2022 Brutal Planet Records remaster comes on a Gold Disc for the first
time ever, is packaged in a jewel case, and each CD includes a free
Gold-Foil stamped collector card!

CORONER - R.I.P. (GOLD DISC EDITION)
R.I.P. is the debut
album released by the Swiss thrash metal band Coroner (1987). This
album marks the first chapter of the band's progression and is
characterized by raw speed and power (save for the instrumentals), very
typical of thrash metal at this time. Formed in 1983, Coroner's music
combines elements of thrash, classical music, avant-garde music,
progressive rock, and jazz with suitably gruff vocals. With their
increasingly complex style of progressive rock-infused thrash, they
have been called "the Rush of thrash metal." Coroner's sound then
progressed and the production became more refined, resulting in more
progressive albums. R.I.P remains a revered thrash classic for fans of
classic Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax! The 2022 Brutal
Planet Records remaster comes on a Gold Disc for the first time ever,
is packaged in a jewel case, and each CD includes a free Gold-Foil

CRIMSON THORN - DISSECTION
Crimson Thorn is one
of the most technical and pummeling death metal bands ever! They stand
toe to toe with bands like Obituary, Carcass, and Cannibal Corpse.
Crimson Thorn is one of the few Christian death metal bands that could
ever be put in such an elite category. The vocals are low and
ultra-gutteral. One album literally included a liner note warning that
no effects were used on the vocals! From beginning to end the blast
beats, double bass assaults, guttural growls, and general death metal
fury never lets up. This release features all three albums remastered
and combined onto three CDs. These classic albums - Unearthed (1994),
Dissection (1997), and Purification (2002) have long been out of print.

CROUCH, ANDRAE & THE DISCIPLES - JUST ANDRAE
Just Andrae' was
originally released in 1972, as Andrae's very first solo album - the
year before Andrae' Crouch & the Disciples legendary release Live
At Carnegie Hall took the Jesus People Movement and Churches across the
world by storm. A true pioneer of CCM, Crouch is credited with
revolutionizing the sound of urban Gospel music. Crouch was
instrumental in bringing Walter and Tramaine Hawkins, Jessy Dixon, and
The Winans to Light Records, all enjoying successful gospel music
careers. His influence has extended to countless artists like BeBe and
CeCe Winans, The Clark Sisters, Wintley Phipps, Anointed, and Israel
Houghton. With the 2014 Legacy Edition on Born Twice Records, this long
out-of-print Crouch album has finally been digitally remastered,
emphasizing the original album's magic in all it's glory. Andrae' is
backed up by an all-star band featuring the talents of Hadley
Hockensmith, Bill Maxwell, and Harlan Rogers (known as Sonlight -
pre-Koinonia - be sure to get the 2014 CD reissue of KOINONIA -
SONLIGHT). In addition, Danniebelle Hall, Paula Clarin, and Phyllis
Swisher provide stunning background vocals.

DALLAS COWBOYS - CHRISTMAS
Hey, remember the
80s? What a crazy decade that was, right? We had movies about alien
ducks and alien robots and alien, um, aliens - it was a fun and crazy
time of American pop culture. But nothing was more fun than 80's music,
and one of the treasures from 80's music is the Dallas Cowboys, who
recorded and released the albums, "Dallas Cowboys Christmas" in 1985
and another in 1986.
This 10-track album is filled with holiday spirit as members of the '85
and '86 Cowboys - including Danny White, who was an album producer -
crooned such classics as "God Bless the Children" and "Silent Night,"
as well as the original gem, "I Don't Want to be Home for Christmas"
(they wanted to be playing in the playoffs!). The Cowboys even had
coach Tom Landry in a singing mood, as he joined in on this rendition
of "Twelve Days of Christmas" that also amazingly foreshadowed the
league's concerns about concussions and head injuries. Available for
the very first time on CD, complete with deluxe packaging, a Tony
Dorsett trading card, and a 2020 remaster this essential piece of 80's
pop culture has been given the treatment it's always deserved. So
indulge your love of 80's pop music, add this exclusive CD to your
collection, and bring joy to the entire family at the same time!

celebrated his highly anticipated inaugural solo effort, "Praises To
The War Machine", which saw him further honing his craft to perfection.
Dane, who first shattered the boundaries of conventionality with the
legendary Sanctuary and Nevermore, proved that he is one of metal's
most diverse frontmen with this solo effort as he unleashes a barrage
of introspective and personal lyrics that are heartfelt and extremely
powerful. All of this emotion backed with his soaring angelic and
dynamic vocals provides all of the necessary elements for a savagely
captivating, melodic assault that quickly hooks you in. Before
beginning this new venture Dane went out and surrounded himself with
some of the best musicians that he could find. This search ultimately
resulted in landing the renowned Peter Wichers (ex-Soilwork) on guitars
and bass, Dirk Verbeuren (Soilwork) on drums and Matt Wicklund
(ex-Himsa) on guitars. The effort was also recorded and mixed by
Wichers (coproducer Soilwork) and features guest musicians Jeff Loomis
(Nevermore) and James Murphy (Obituary, Testament, etc.).Additionally
this 2021 extended version reissues contains four live tracks from the
album on side C featuring singer/songwriter Jonny Smokes which also
will be available on all digital platforms. "Praises To The War
Machine" is an absolute must for all Nevermore fans. Prepare yourself
for the sheer beauty and elegance that awaits. Collector's are treated
to a 16-page deluxe booklet housed inside a jewel case, a beautiful
GoldMax CD, and it's all been remastered to perfection by Rob Colwell
of Bombworks Sound!

DEAR EPHESUS - THE ABSENT SOUNDS OF ME
There are a lot of
great bands that released albums in 1998, and this one by Dear Ephesus
may just well be the best. The band has crafted some great songs, which
are bolstered by fine production. Shades of lo-fi guitars creep in, but
they are complimented by a nice n' wide low end.

DELIVERANCE - AS ABOVE - SO BELOW
This 2019 CD
Retroarchives Edition reissue features all new artwork that reflects
singer, Jimmy Brown's original vision for the original release but was
never accomplished. The mastering of the reissue is the same as the
original 2007 release. Musically, this 13th album represents a
unilateral step forward in the heavy music genre; few groups have ever
blended epic thrash / speed metal with the elegance and beauty of
progressive metal (later period Deliverance) with such devastating
skill and brutality.

DELIVERANCE - ASSIMILATION
Music critic Angelic
Warlord, called Assimilation "the most musically consistent effort from
the band since its critically acclaimed 1993 work Learn." Tracks such
as "The Circle" and "Save Me From." will pull you in with their
technical prowess, while "Assimilation" and "Between 2 Worlds" give
rise to a resounding heaviness. "The Limitless Light" and
"Impressions," on the other hand, bring chorus hooks of a gripping
capacity. Assimilation finds founding member Jimmy P. Brown II in top
form with his doom-like and low-key David Bowie meets Geoff Tate
(Queensryche) lead vocal abilities. 2019 reissue.

DELIVERANCE - DELIVERANCE (GOLD DISC)
Frightening,
awe-inspiring, and absolutely relentless, Deliverance's self-titled
album dropped onto the scene in 1989 with all the finesse of a metallic
sledgehammer across the forehead. In 1987, Deliverance had made their
presence known in dramatic fashion on the California Metal compilation
(a sampler in the vein of Metal Blade's Metal Massacre compilations)
with "Attack" being the very first thrash/speed metal song with a
strong Christian message to ever be released. Overwhelmed with
anticipation, fans lined up for two years trying to buy more of this
West Coast speed metal as phenomenal as anything released by Exodus,
Death Angel, Metallica, and Anthrax. The long wait ended with the
release of 1989's self-titled debut, and fans were not disappointed.
Having enlisted the production skills of famed mainstream metal
producer Bill Metoyer (Flotsam and Jetsam, Trouble, Fates Warning, DRI,
Slayer) the debut exuded all the pure destructive power for which fans
could have hoped. Every note is executed with jaw-dropping levels of
scientific precision. Jimmy's vocals are both powerful and soaring. The
2020 Retroactive reissue is a brand new Gold Disc remaster (Rob Colwell
of Bombworks Sound) and includes three non-LP demo songs as bonus
tracks. The insert booklet features 2017 write-ups from band leader,
Jimmy Brown, guitarist Glenn Rogers, bassist Brian Khairullah, and
Pastor Bob Beeman. This is pure metallic brilliance packaged with a
genius 12-page booklet laid out by NoLifeTilMetal's Scott Waters.
Previous CD reissues of this classic album all had audio or graphics
issues. This is THE ultimate reissue of one of a handful of Christian
metal's ultimate albums. In addition, every CD comes with an exclusive
trading card (gold foil stamped) inside the packaging.

DELIVERANCE - GREETING OF DEATH
Metallica had No
Life Til Leather...an iconic demo that catapulted the band into
unforeseen glory and status. Deliverance's Greeting of Death demo
(1986) did the same thing for the most heralded Christian thrash act of
all-time. Frontman, Jimmy Brown asked his girlfriend to draw up a cover
of a Grim Reaper waving "Hi!" Inspired by a Chic Tract he had seen and
she drew it, and used rub on letters from a stationary store. Jimmy
made all the dubs from a tape deck that belonged to his sister. Three
tape decks later, he had ordered 5,000 copies within a year's time. The
demo gained a life of its own! People everywhere knew it! People would
sing Speckled Bird (exclusive to this demo) when the band would go to
shows and people at the shows were singing along with the songs from
the demo! Greeting of Death was a very special moment in time, captured
on cellophane magnetic tape and it propelled Deliverance to being a
regular at the Sunset Strip and the newly emerging Christian Festival
networks. With their roots deeply rooted in the Greeting of Death demo,
Deliverance would release two of the most influential and critically
acclaimed Christian thrash releases of all time in the 1989 Self-Titled
and the 1990 release Weapons of Our Warfare. This 1986 demo, Greeting
of Death is what propelled them to impact the thrash scene more than
any other single Christian thrash band, ever. All three versions of
this iconic demo were intentional in making it look, feel, and sound
like the original release featuring the iconic cover drawn by Jimmy's
girlfriend, and printed black and white on uncoated (flat/not glossy)
paper just like the original demo. The cassette is a single J-Card
insert featuring the original six tracks. The CD is a 12 page insert
with lyrics and pages of iconic band photos with personal reflections
form Jimmy Brown. The 12" Vinyl features the personal reflections,
lyrics and rare bands photos on black vinyl (500 units pressed). Both
CD and Vinyl feature the original six songs, plus the two legendary
tracks off of the California Metal Compilation, Attack and A Space
Called You. This demo came out years ahead of all other Christian
thrash releases and opened the door for success for other bands like
Vengeance, Believer, and Seventh Angel. The impact of Greeting of Death
cannot be overstated, and this reissue gives fans a chance to taste of
what the original release was like, but even better with the packaging,
various formats, and the 2019 digital remaster from an all new source
that is a substantial improvement from all other versions of this
release. This is the ultimate Deliverance reissue that celebrates the
impact of a band that has a musical legacy second to none. CD + LP +
Cassette (limited to 100 copies). And yes, the album title is Greeting
of Death, but the song on the demo is Greetings of Death. That's the
way Jimmy's girlfriend heard it when he was telling her what he wanted,
and that's the way she made it! Get them while you can - these are
treasures! .

DELIVERANCE - LEARN
The fifth release by
the L.A.-based metal band Deliverance, coming out in 1993. Learn is
slower to mid-paced, filled with brooding, heavy riffs, distinctive
bass lines, and vocals that at times recall Geoff Tate of Queensryche,
Eric Clayton of Saviour Machine, and at other times, Dream Theater.
And, while you can hear musical influences on the album, Deliverance
was synthesizing them to create their own expressive landscape. Learn
is a full-on metallic muscle flex of heavy metal. The music is thick,
intentional, confident, and crunchy. While early albums sped through
from beginning to end, Learn is determined to make the journey as
enjoyable and delicious as possible - so no need to rush! This is the
definition of epic, progressive heavy metal and it continues to be a
high point in the Deliverance catalog and an album treasured by fans

DELIVERANCE - RIVER DISTURBANCE
Starting out
originally as a speed metal act with influences of Metallica and Slayer
shining brightly, the band's fourth album, Stay of Execution, signaled
both change and growth in this epic metal band! This new sound was most
noticeably embodied by vocalist Jimmy P. Brown II altering his vocal
style singing much more like David Bowie and Saviour Machine's Eric
Clayton. The vocals fit the newer direction musically and with 1994's
River Disturbance, unleashed a new level of brilliance for Deliverance
fans as they progressed into 1994 and beyond! A timeless album filled
with haunting melodies and powerful metal music, River Disturbance
ascended to new artistic heights. The 2018 Retroactive Records
remastered (by Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound) reissue is part of the

DENY THE FALLEN - SYMPTOMS OF ETERNITY
Deny the Fallen is
the new band featuring Rey Parra of Sacred Warrior, and more recently,
Worldview fame. Also featured in this lineup is another Sacred Warrior
alumni, Jonathan Johnson, with this marking their first time
collaborating since 1991's Obsession release. Joining them for this
release is Josh Johnson (drums), Harbor Horton (Rhythm guitars), and
Erik Kyr (bassist). What we have here is a really heavy, hard rocking
album. We are talking full-speed ahead power and crunch with
progressive touches throughout. It is deep, aggressive and angry
sounding metal with a message. The vocals from Rey are octaves deeper
than normal with more grit and gravel sounding power, with the
occasional added second growl vocals here and there. Musically the
album is filled with heavy riffs, shredding leads, and a totally
kicking rhythm section to hold it all together. The 2020 Retroactive

ETERNAL DECISION - ED3
Eternal Decision put
Oklahoma on the map with their 1996 release of the band's self-titled
debut classic thrash album. The world was riding high on all things
Metallica and the debut ED mastered the best of Metallica (Master of
Puppets, Ride the Lightning, etc). Christian metal fans were elated to
have a band with bold Christian lyrics and that popular, addictive hard
edged, radio-ready crunchy, chuga-chuga thrash metal. The 1996 album
has been out of print for many many years, yet it was released three
times by 1999! All of those releases had "issues" and the Retroactive
records reissues have been given special attention to make sure fans
are rewarded for their patience with the ultimate collector's reissues
(for all three albums). With the second (Ghost...) and third (III)
albums, Eternal Decision matures from the thrash-by-numbers perfection
of the debut to emphasize huge, massive grooves (ala the Black album
and Pantera) to go along with their love of thrash metal. Lyrical
themes on Ghost in the Machine deal mostly with addiction and the
constant struggle between spirit and flesh: "I need you now / To help
me with this pain inside" ("Through the Pain"). The third album (III)
features the ultra rare classic Deliverance cover of "Belltown" as it's
bonus track. Now part of the Retroactive Records Metal Icon Series,
metal fans can rejoice - these classics are finally available - looking
and sounding the best they ever have - and each release includes the
numbered collector's edition foil-stamped trading card to make these CD
reissues even more essential purchases. For fans of Metallica, early
Deliverance, Megadeth, Pantera.

GODMAN - HYPOSTATIC UNION
Godman is the
musical union of 2 well known, veteran musicians in the Christian metal
world- Tiago James de Souza (Hand of Fire, Perpetual Paranoia &
Biogenesis) and Jonathan Johnson (Sacred Warrior, Deny The Fallen).
Rounding out the lineup is Corey Sturgill the former drummer for
Universal/ Republic recording artists FLAW. Though Jonathan and Tiago
are known for their previous work and trademark sounds, Godman is a
completely unique entity with a sound unlike anything either have done
before. Extremely heavy and powerful and nearly impossible to define.
Drawing on both writer's massive assortment of influences, this is a no
holds barred barrage of intensity, wrapped in a blanket of melody and
groove. Somehow completely modern and classic simultaneously. It is
rare in this day-and-age to find something in heavy music that sounds
like nothing else. Godman does just that - while feeling completely
familiar at the same time. Produced by Jonathan Johnson, Godman's debut
album Hypostatic Union on Bombworks Records has an extremely high end,
modern production that compliments the sheer power of this band. This
musical union is already taking the heavy music world by storm. The
vocals and progressive metal bring to mind thrash legends, Believer,
while the sheer heaviness and technical tenacity will appeal to fans of
Origin, Godflesh, Soilwork, Shadows Fall, and Suffocation

GRAVE ROBBER - INNER SANCTUM
"Woafully"
out-of-print, ?Inner Sanctum? is now being Remastered and Reloaded! Few
bands have impacted a scene like Grave Robber. After their debut CD, Be
Afraid made it on Heaven's Metal Magazines Top 100 Metal Albums of
All-Time (as a punk rock band!), Grave Robber released their tour de
force, Inner Sanctum (2009). Christian punk and metal's favorite
zombies expanded their Misfits-clone sound to embrace the sweet, sweet
nectar of "metal." Yes, it's memorable. Yes, it's super sing-able. Yes,
there are "whoas" in every song. But Inner Sanctum is heavier, meaner,
nastier than ever before. An album filled with anthems, reminding a
generation that sometimes the walking dead in Christ need to roll up
their sleeves, put on their battle jackets, raise the metal horns, AND
crowd surf! With the original release long out-of-print, Retroactive
Records is DELIGHTED to reissue one of label owner, Matthew Hunt's
favorite all-time releases in a sturdy jewel case, expanded 12 page
insert with rare band pics, lyrics, and a tremendous write-up from band
founder and vocalist, Shawn Browning (Rottweiler Records). With a fresh
remaster, we promise you this classic has been given the deluxe
treatment even the pickiest of collectors will truly cherish.

GUARDIAN - FIRE AND LOVE (LEGENDS REMASTERED)
Fire & Love
should come packaged with a rubber mat to prevent your jaw from
shattering when it drops to the floor. Response to the album release
(1990) was overwhelming, and the video for the song "Power of Love" was
included in the MTV's Headbangers Ball rotation. The shredding melodic
metal of their previous album is replaced by red-hot, fired-up
commercial hard rock that is belted out with emotive power to spare by
the awesome Jamie Rowe. Adding to the album's appeal is the legendary
production talents of John & Dino Elefante (Kansas/Mastedon)! If
you love big guitars (Palacios rips!), big hooks (Motley Crue would be
jealous), big choruses (Bon Jovi would approve), big vocals (can you
say wall of sound?), and big production (it's the Elefantes...what else
do you need to know?), then you'll love this album, a true Christian
hard rock classic. The CD release is packaged in a 6 panel jewel case
with lyrics and a bonus track featured only on the CD version of the
reissue.

GUARDIAN - MIRACLE MILE (GOLD DISC)
Teaming up with Dino
and John Elefante (Kansas/Mastedon/Pakaderm Records) for 1991's Fire
and Love album was a game-changing move for Guardian. The album was an
overwhelming hit with fans, in regular rotation on MTV's Headbanger's
Ball, and the band turned into the consummate road warriors with
extensive U.S touring throughout 1991 and a European tour with Stryper
in 1992. With all the touring, the band made the decision to move,
families and all, from Los Angeles to Nashville in order to take things
to the next level. Not content to make their third album Fire &
Love Part 2, Guardian reflected on two years of touring, all their
success, and began to dream of what album number three might be like.
Bach was influenced by a movie that featured a turn-of-the-century
carnival that had terrifying and mystical effects on the towns it
visited. Bach was also fascinated with the religious tent revivals from
the same period that had such a profound effect on the U.S. landscape.
He began envisioning an album that combined the two elements, with
snake oils, side shows, carnivals, and deep spirituality. The rest of
the band bought in to this concept, and Miracle Mile was born. The
album demonstrates a band locked in as a cohesive unit, being fun,
imaginative, and creative in ways that pushed them far beyond anything
they had ever done. Miracle Mile built off bands like Tesla, Extreme,
and Giant but was distinctly Guardian. Miracle Mile is the band's
undisputed Sgt. Pepper, their Appetite for Destruction, their Back in
Black. This is the band's defining moment, at the top of their game.

very impressive traditional/power metal album, full of great melodies,

HAVEN - III (RETROARCHIVES EDITION)
LIMITED EDITION -
JUST 500 UNITS PRESSED! Originally released by the band independently
in 1995, four years after the sophomore release, Age of Darkness. The
album was pieced together by golden throat vocalist, Kevin Ayers as
various members of the band were available over the four year period.
Also, gone are the million dollar studios and producers that recorded
the first two Haven classics. Haven III was recorded on Kevin's home
recording studio in his garage in the 90's! In the words of the Supreme
Metal Historian, Scott Waters (Ultimatum), "Despite the four years
between releases, the music has not changed dramatically. As with past
albums, however, the lyrics are awesome, although they are a bit more
praise oriented rather than some of the more social lyrics of the
past." With 8 of the 13 tracks tracking in at 6-7 minutes, you know you
are in for a tremendous melodic, progressive power metal adventure!
This Retroactive Records reissue has been carefully remastered by
veteran, Rob Colwell (Bombworks Sound), along with a 4 panel insert and
jewel case release with superbly enhanced original artwork. In fact, we
love you so much, we included an unreleased bonus track left off the
original release because it has more of an industrial metal vibe to it,
called, "From Everlasting". Haven's third masterpiece has never
sounded, or looked better! For fans of Sacred Warrior, Iron Maiden,
Recon, Queensryche!

HAWKINS, WALTER - FEEL LIKE SINGING
Contemporary gospel
pioneer Walter Hawkins (brother of Edwin Hawkins of "Oh Happy Day"
fame) delivered hit after hit with his series of Love Alive choir
albums during the 1970's. The focus was on tight vocals, impeccable
arrangements, and the astoundingly soulful counter-tenor of Walter
himself. By the early 1980's, Hawkins and his group of tremendously
gifted singers and musicians (including wife Tramaine, sister Lynette
Hawkins-Stephen and cousin Shirley Miller) had made their mark. I Feel
Like Singing, released in 1982 on Light Records, cemented it. Listen to
"He's Everything," a potent ballad that brings the solo power of
Shirley Miller up front. Miller also joins Hawkins on the infectious
title cut, trading leads. The tightly woven harmonies of "Hang On In
There" make the song a cult classic even today. Tramaine Hawkins is
featured on "Coming Home." Already establishing herself as power ballad
singer, her soprano excellence here emphasized her versatility and
widened her fan base further. Then there were the duets. The ebullient
brassiness of Lynette Hawkins Stephens paired wonderfully with Daryl
Coley's smooth runs on "Do Your Best." On "Heaven," Edwin Hawkins
enters first, and then Walter takes over and blows the proverbial lid
off the cut with his high tenor. Remastered and available on CD for the
first time since it was first released, I Feel Like Singing is a most
welcome keepsake and reminder of the glory days of Walter Hawkins.

HERETIC - A TIME OF CRISIS
In 1986 and 1988,
Heretic release two iconic and collectible power thrash metal albums on
the young Metal Blade Records. Members would go on to play substantial
roles in both Reverend and Metal Church. In 2012 the band reformed and
signed with a German label would released A TIME OF CRISIS on CD and it
quickly went out of print, fetching ridiculous prices if you were lucky
enough to even find a copy. Brutal Planet Records is fixing a grave
injustice....reissuing this tremendous powerful, thrash metal album on
both CD and Vinyl. The album features legendary axeman, Glenn Rogers
shredding and thrashing as if his life depended on it. Glenn was in
both early incarnation of Deliverance and Vengeance contributing and
writing many of their most legendary tracks. Glenn now plays in Primal
and Deliverance as his current gigs. Angelo played in both Hirax and
Reverend, and Brian also played in Reverend. This historic release is
once again available on CD, and for the very first time, Vinyl
(featuring a full color, two-sided lyrics & picture sleeve). The
riffs, the crunch, the full-steam ahead thrash metal is everything
thrash fans could want. For fans of Vengeance, Deliverance, Metal
Church, Reverend, Meliah Rage, and Anthrax.

HOLY BLOOD - DAY OF VENGEANCE
Ukrainian Christian
metal band, Holy Blood helped launch the fledgling Bombworks Records
off the ground with each of their first two releases selling an
astounding 2500 units! Over a decade later, the band is now releasing
their fifth album with Bombworks, DAY OF VENGEANCE! Known in the past
for their Folk/Medieval/Pagan Metal, the new album is in your face,
full on melodic death metal/viking metal that would be comfortable
playing alongside Amon Amarth, King of Asgard, and Manegarm. The
artwork is striking, featuring a warrior, perhaps an Archangel, the
leader of the Heavenly Host, holding a severed head of a defeated arhi
demon. This shows a triumph over the world's human powers, as well as a
defeat of the powers and principalities, and the rulers of the darkness
of this world. For fans of creative extreme metal, with something worth
saying!

IN THIS MOMENT - BEAUTIFUL TRAGEDY (GOLD DISC)
The buzz generated
from over a million plays of IN THIS MOMENT's tunes on the popular
Internet community apparently got the attention of the Century Media
folks and the rest, as they say, is history. And,the hype over this
band's melodic, Swedish-inflected metalcore is not overblown. In
addition to a load of good riffs and guitar harmonies, as well as a
knack for writing strong melodies, the secret ingredient is the voice
of front woman Maria Brink. Her singing is passionate and beautiful,
yet not wimpy; the melodies written suit her perfectly and she really
knows how to make a chorus come to life. At the same time, her harsh
'core vocals are ferocious as hell and sound better than many of her
male counterparts. One of the best things that "Beautiful Tragedy" has
going for it is the consistency of songwriting. Many albums of this
type have a couple of catchy tunes and the rest begin to bleed
together. By contrast, most of the songs on "Beautiful Tragedy" are
rife with big hooks and killer axe work, the title track being the
standout for an incredibly catchy chorus. But several other songs, such
as "Ashes" and "Daddy's Falling Angel," are catchy too. Sure, the band
follows a formula in the way that screams and melodic vocals are
alternated in predictable places. Fortunately, IN THIS MOMENT gets it
right, even in a world where every other band employs a similar
songwriting style. It also helps that the tunes are largely up-tempo
and stick to a Swedish melodic death metal style of arrangement that is
not rife with breakdowns. Beautiful Tragedy is a 2007 masterpiece that
breathed new life into a worn out genre. Collector's are treated to
three previously Japan-only bonus tracks, a 16-page deluxe booklet
housed inside a jewel case, a beautiful GoldMax CD with an In This
Moment Ltd Collector Card, and it's all been remastered to perfection
by Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound!

JERUSALEM - DANCING ON THE HEAD OF THE SERPENT
Dancing... was
recorded only in English, although there are two different versions.
The original version was released in Scandinavia in 1987 on JM Records.
In 1988, Refuge Records released a re-recorded and remixed version in
the United States, with slightly different artwork. The 2018
Retroactive Records release is a 2-CD Set featuring one CD of the USA
recording and one CD of the European version of the recording. Trust us
- there is a huge difference between the two versions and both are
awesome! We will say the European version is "dirtier" and several
songs feel drier and grittier like classic AC/DC! This Rob Colwell
(Bombworks Sound) Legends Remastered version adds warmth, depth, and
sonic clarity to perfection. Retroactive Records has packaged this gem
in a jewel case with a 12-page insert featuring band pics/lyrics. For

KILLED BY CAIN - KILLED BY CAIN (RETROARCHIVES EDITION)

much more aggressive metal sound with distinctive Metallica meets G'n
R-styled vocals and killer heavy metal more in line with the thrashing
grooves of 90's Megadeth. The 2017 Retroactive Records reissue of this
album comes fully remastered by Rob Colwell (Bombworks Sound) on CD

KING'S X - MANIC MOONLIGHT (GOLD DISC)
The 2001 third album
in a trilogy of self-produced albums on Metal Blade Records - the band
was tired of chasing the big-time and decided they would not bring in
demos, but instead write the album from start to finish AS A BAND.
Manic Moonlight is the result! King's X has never wanted to be a
typical band, and this holds true for their ninth album. The
arrangements on Manic Moonlight are progressive and jazzy with clever
hooks that might require a few listens to sink in--but after that they
become irresistible. There's also more of a funk influence here, with
album opener "Believe" (about Doug's struggle for self-acceptance)
setting the tone with a fine groove with the song being another track
of super-tight riffs stopping and starting in perfect time, over and
over again. "Skeptical Winds" explores the style more deeply with
touches of R&B and soul, and the heavy bass line coupled with
hard-rock crunch on "Vegetable" is classic King's X. The Gold Disc also
includes the Japan-only long version bonus track of "Vegetable" in
addition to the Japan-only long version bonus track of "Believe."
"Static" experiments with dark ambient rhythms and odd samples,
becoming a wall of metallic noise and screaming guitars. The wonderful
lush harmonies that have been a King's X trademark are present on the
melodic "Jenna" and the dreamy, uplifting "False Alarm," which stand

KING'S X - PLEASE COME HOME MR. BULBOUS (GOLD DISC)
Please Come
Home...Mr. Bulbous album title was selected because the band was
convinced Gretchen Goes....was a terrible album name that worked out
pretty well, so the band went with PCH...MB and decided the title means
nothing, or it meant everything. Once again, the band was writing the
album together in the studio, and the guys hit some real high moments.
At Brutal Planet Records, we remember being less than enamored with
this album when it released. But 20+ years later, we dare say the album
has aged better than any album we have ever heard. Songs like "Fish
Bowl Man," "Julia,", "She's Gone Away," and the unforgettable, "Charlie
Sheen" (not actually about the actor, really) are some of the most
exquisite tracks ever to grace a King's X album. The album is nothing
less than pure, rock and roll brilliance from a band no longer trying
to be a commercial success, but simply creating music that reflects
their hearts and souls. How much more can a band offer it's fans?
Stretching themselves on this album more than any other, they went
outside the box and they created a masterpiece together, from scratch.
Now the album gets the deluxe Gold Disc treatment with an expanded
booklet with lyrics and additional band pics. And, every CD comes with
an exclusive King's X foil-stamped collector's card!

KING'S X - TAPE HEAD (GOLD DISC)
The band's 1998
magnum opus, "Groove Machine" launches the album like a rocket ship on
it's way to outer space! Full of molten metal, and grooves so heavy
it's been known to cause kryptonic drooling! For many, this album is a
triumphant return to the classic King's X sound, while still exploring
new territory for a band unwilling to stay the same, and thankfully so!
The album flows with the perfect mix of heavy groove and melodic
sensibility, with no shreds of the early prog-ish King's X sound. The
songwriting is excellent on this album, as expected. The musicianship
is elite, with perfectly placed guitar fills, basslines, and of course
the signature vocal harmonies. Can it get any better? This is classic
King's X with no restrictions, no producers, and no record labels
driving them for the next radio hit. This is straight up King's X, very
neat, and it goes down ultra-smooth. Indeed - this is top shelf stuff.
Compared to Ear Candy (also brilliant), Tape Head is a monolithic slab
of epic proportions. Now the album get's the deluxe Gold Disc treatment
with an expanded booklet with lyrics and additional band pics. Also
included is the Japan-only bonus track, "Two." And, every CD comes with
an exclusive King's X foil-stamped collector's card! Indeed - it's time

KOINONIA - SONLIGHT
How many countless
Christian LPs have the Sonlight boys appeared on over the years? Most
notably, they served as the back-up band for early CCM legend, Andrae
Crouch. Although keyboardist Harlan Rogers, drummer Bill Maxwell, and
guitarist Hadley Hockensmith would record several jazz albums in the
80's as Koinonia, this is their only 70's collective effort using the
Sonlight moniker. Originally the album was released as a 1973
self-titled LP on Light Records with the band name "Sonlight." At the
time, Fletch Wiley was also in the group, contributing trumpet,
flugelhorn, trombone, and flute. Wherever these guys appear as session
musicians, there is usually a jazzy poprock atmosphere, and that's the
case here as well. Songs like "Day of Salvation" and "I Saw His Face"
have that soft breeze jazz-pop vibe with easy listening vocals and airy
harmonies. Also a few MOR ballads in here typical of the Light label.
The brass works well on "Walk in the Spirit," a slow funk tune with
fuzz guitar. On other tracks, the horns take a back seat like the
gospel edged "Standing In the Liberty," or the slow rocking "Freedom
Bells;" both featuring The Band-like classic rock influence. In the
heavier category are "The Way" (with good muscular guitar work), and
"The Truth of Salvation," an energetic jazz-rock workout where the
guitar and organ truly get down and jam. Sharp cover art, the four
guys' heads fused into what looks like an orange psychedelic fireball.
This 2014 release is the first time this long-lost classic album has
been available on CD.

LIBERTY 'N JUSTICE - THE VOW
Most hard music fans
identify with Liberty N' Justice as an "all star project" due to the
recent history of founding member Justin Murr. Starting with Welcome To
The Revolution from 2005, Murr has recruited some of the best musicians
and vocalists in the business (both past and present) to assist with
the songwriting and recording of each LNJ album. Welcome To The
Revolution, for instance, featured eighteen different vocalists,
including Michael Sweet (Stryper), Ken Tamplin (Shout), Jamie Rowe
(Guardian) and Lou Gramm (Foreigner). The trend continued over the next
eight years, with LNJ releasing five full-length studio albums, one EP
and two compilations before culminating with the 2013 2-CD set The
Cigar Chronicles in which 76 guest musicians participated.

LIFESAVERS (MICHAEL KNOTT & LS UNDERGROUND) - HEAVEN HIGH
"I will just come
out and say this is my favorite Lifesavers album. Heaven High combines
the energy of Huntington Beach with the catchiness of Poplife and the
lyrical depth of Dream Life. and then mixes in all the new influences
Knott and company bring to the table. Co-writer and bassist Joshua Lory
shows that he fits in just fine with the surf power pop punk Lifesavers
sound. So far, the buzz on this one has been consistently positive
across the board. Even those few that didn't go for the heaviness of
PTSD are digging these tunes. The only complaint is that the 10 songs
are just not enough - but maybe that is because there is some familiar
ground covered. A few of these songs were originally recorded on the
first All Indie EP in a much different format. Then there is the "This
is the Healing" reprise at the end of "Stereo Radio." But those are
more just nods to the past that help to anchor this in Knott cannon.
Overall, the album is great music to drive around and enjoy the summer
with. The CD version is available on Retroactive Records as a 4 panel,
full color digipak release. The CD version has been digitally
remastered by J Powell at Steinhaus for maximum ear candy (the digital
release has not been remastered, so get the CD!)." By Matt Crosslin of

LOOMIS, JEFF - PLAINS OF OBLIVION (GOLD DISC)
At 16 years of age,
Loomis won a guitar competition in Wisconsin, and was auditioned to
replace Jeff Young in Megadeth (he was not chosen due to his young
age.) Jeff ended up joining Sanctuary during the tour of the album The
Mirror Black. Just after the tour, the band dismantled and he created
Nevermore with ex-members Jim Sheppard and Warrel Dane. As a result of
his invaluable contributions to Nevermore's trademark sound, Jeff
Loomis has become one of modern Metal's most recognizable guitarists
and the source of many of the last decade's best riffs. Taking the
classic techniques he learned from listening to legends like Jason
Becker and Yngwie Malmsteen as a teen and applying his own ingenuity,
he has managed to carve his own niche and create an instantly
recognizable style. Plains Of Oblivion is a tour de force display of
guitar virtuosity and something Nevermore fans will welcome with open
arms. Collector's are treated to a 16-page deluxe booklet housed inside
a jewel case, a beautiful GoldMax CD with a Jeff Loomis Ltd Collector
Card, and it's all been remastered to perfection by Rob Colwell of

LOOMIS, JEFF - ZERO ORDER PHASE (GOLD DISC)
At 16 years of age,
Loomis won a guitar competition in Wisconsin, and was auditioned to
replace Jeff Young in Megadeth (he was not chosen due to his young
age.) Jeff ended up joining Sanctuary during the tour of the album The
Mirror Black. Just after the tour, the band dismantled and he created
Nevermore with ex-members Jim Sheppard and Warrel Dane. This the 2008
solo album from one of the best guitar players in the metal world -
Nevermore's Jeff Loomis! Loomis is arguably metal's very best guitarist
and this album has all of his signature sounds. This instrumental album
is different from most guitar-driven instrumental albums because the
songs are not just a showcase of guitar virtuoso, as it showcases
Loomis's excellent song-writing skills. Instead of a bunch of out of
control solo's, listeners are treated to real songs that could very
well been transformed into songs for the next Nevermore album. The lack
of a singer does not take away from the music, it does however showcase
an amazing guitarist at work. Collector's are treated to a 16-page
deluxe booklet housed inside a jewel case, a beautiful GoldMax CD with
a Jeff Loomis Ltd Collector Card, and it's all been remastered to

MAD AT THE WORLD - FLOWERS IN THE RAIN
On their fantastic,
2nd album release Flowers In The Rain, Mad At The World prove that
these two brothers (Roger and Randy Rose) still have incredible staying
power. Mad At The World continues to pay homage to some of the best
artists and bands to come out of the 80's. On Flowers In The Rain, the
band once again combine elements of Pet Shop Boys, The Cult, New Order,
Human League, Depeche Mode, The Smiths and a cluster of different
elements from some of the best of 80's new wave. Roger Rose's
unmistakable, gothic-esque voice strongly resembles Wayne Hussey
(Mission UK). Though, not as exclusively synth driven as their debut
album (expect a few tracks with some gnarly, mean guitars), Flowers In
The Rain strikes back with strong melodic and danceable songs while
still delivering their thought provoking and powerful message. Flowers
in the Rain allows you to relive that wonderful experience of listening
to an album from start to finish, with no filler and nor missing a
single beat. Flowers in the Rain (Legends Remastered) is must have for
any serious synthpop and 80's fan's collection. The 2019 limited
edition (500 Units) reissue on Retroactive Records features a complete
digital remaster by Rob Colwell (Bombworks Sound) allowing the warmth,
pop, and classic 80's sound to breathe like never before. All this is
packaged in a 12 page booklet with lyrics and band pictures inside a
quality jewel case. In addition the band provided us with an exclusive
rare demo track which is a early version of the song, "Flowers in the
Rain" simply called "We Are the human Race." You won't want to miss it!

MAD AT THE WORLD - HOPE
Roger and Randy Rose
from Mad at the World are back at it, with a powerful re-visit of their
early synth-heavy albums. Being a fan of MatW and of good synth work,
their album Hope fails to disappoint. The synth structures and sounds
are reminiscent of the eponymous first album and the powerful
subsequent release of Flowers in the Rain. Fans of 80s synth pop and
industrial will find this album a treasure. While the influences from
that time are strongly represented, the Rose bros. (I hope they will
forgive the use of the phrase!) bring a fresh eye to the music and make
it musically contemporary.
The album's title, Hope, is befitting the overall sentiment and lyrical
content. The writing is honest, inviting, and unapologetic in
presenting their theological views. It's not preachy, yet a genuine
expression of heartfelt sentiment.
The first track, "Healing on Planet Earth," is a great introduction to
the overall theme. While retaining a sadness and darkness MatW
listeners are familiar with, the familiar sense of real, objective hope
in the world that has ever served as a stamp of their music. This track
is a pleading prayer asking for a return for love and understanding on
Earth. A hopeful return of what we appear to have lost touch with and
perhaps failed to expand, leaving it withering on the vine as it were.
It finishes with a plea to Jesus to heal us again.
"My Old Best Friend" is a send-off to one's old self and welcoming a
renewal of heart. Very nice piano work in this, accompanied by some
synth backgrounds.
"You are Free" engages strongly in a celebration of the rchestral Hit'
sounds common to the 80s, yet as strong as a sound as it is, it's
pronounced yet not overbearing in this song. Perhaps it's best use is
accomplished in this song. "I can't help but wonder if God is real, or
I'm the one to blame, for all my shame" is a well-constructed lyric
that is strong and very accessible. In some instances, it brings tears
to one's eyes. The chorus, "you are free," is moving.
"Moving In and Moving Out" has a very deep synth bassline line
continually throughout. As great as all the synth work is in this, the
bassline is a favorite feature in this song. The story of the song
tells of a malfunctioning love relationship.
The sounds of "Never Gonna Stop" is reminiscent of Depeche Mode's
People Are People era, though more of a thoughtful reflective sound
than D.M. expressed in their earlier material. This piece is about
Jesus stating that he's "never gonna stop my love for you." Quite
powerful.
"Can You Feel My Pain?" Is a powerful representation of Jesus in the
garden of Gethsemane expressed through contemplative piano work backed
with strong synth. At least, that's what the reviewer feels the message
is. Something to contemplate in the dark.
"That's What He Said" has a great danceable synth backdrop. At least
it's a head-bopping sentiment. The lyrics again are powerful. "There's
no turning back. There's no going home. Everything about you, belongs
to me. You're not your own." There's a bit of D.M. sounds in this as
well, but definitely in a unique presentation. The D.M. is merely a
garnish for the overall song here.
A meditative, slow synth-bass wash defines the backing sound of "Just
Beyond the Clouds of Grey." "A price too high to pay for, I'll be your
currency."
"Break Me Down" is a surrender to divine love. Very nicely constructed,
pointing out a synth sound reminiscent of a 60s garage rock over the
bass and synth background. Nice bassline too! It's got a alking
rhythm' that works perfectly for the song's theme.
"You Belong to Me" wraps up the theme of hope expressed in the title
and encompassing the message of this album. Piano and synth work in
this song is great. "Don't you know you belong to me? You always belong
to me."
Overall, many influences can be heard or almost identified, yet Mad at
the World retains a uniqueness that separates them from any other band.
I mentioned Depeche Mode as an influence, yet there are so many
throughout from which they may have borrowed snippets from it's
difficult to identify, and certainly would be an entire article unto
itself. I thought to hear (consciously on their part or not) influences
from 70s greats like 10cc and Steely Dan, although I suspect their
musical knowledge accesses a catalog extending beyond that which many
are familiar. I also think to hear touches of David Ball's excellent
keyboard work from Soft Cell and perhaps a smidgen of Nitzer Ebb.
This reviewer hopes to not take away anything from this album or the
overall brilliance of the brothers Rose. The influences, real or
imagined, take nothing away from this album. The art that is produced
is its own unique, viable, and wonderful creation. The musicianship is
remarkable, the lyrics heartfelt and evocative.
From what can be gathered, it seems that this album is just the first
of a series of albums to come from Mad at the World, expressing
different eras of their sound in new and fresh ways. This sounds like
an exciting prospect, and this album definitely enthuses one for future
releases, and encourages a delving into their past material.

MASTEDON - LOFCAUDIO (GOLD DISC)
Bon Jovi has
Slippery When Wet, Boston has More Than A Feeling, Van Halen has 5150,
and Mastedon has Lofcaudio. After the success of their debut album in
1990, John and Dino Elefante formed Pakaderm Records and released this,
their second album, Mastedon - Lofcaudio on their own label. This album
also features an all-star cast, but most of them aren't named because
of legal issues with other record labels. As good as 1989's It's a
Jungle was, it's hard to believe the band could do any better. The
talent of these brothers and the faith of the fans propelled Lofcaudio
to a level few expected. Yet fear not, as high expectations did not
detract from the album's majesty. It pulls together everything that is
glorious and important about AOR and distills it sublimely. It was as
if the Elefante's were on a dangerous and relentless search of pure
melodic rock perfection, and somehow, someway they found it with
Lofcaudio. It's rare that both critics and fans adore a band and an
album this much. So get this 2020 Girder Records reissue of an album
that captures lightning in a bottle, and enjoy the remastered and
reloaded versions. Grab your air guitar, your air mic, sing these songs
at the top-of-your-lungs with reckless abandon and be one more guest
musician to make top-shelf music with Mastedon!

METANOIA - TIME TO DIE
Metanoia's third
album, like the earlier two, was released on Rowe Productions in 1999.
Vocals are throaty growls most of the time, complemented by occasional
shrieking and hoarse shouting, while the brutal songs grind on
unmercifully. This one's for fans of Crimson Thorn and Living
Sacrifice. Troy Dunmire's awesome cover art is guaranteed to be met
with disgust and disapproval by the well-intentioned authority figures
in your life who don't get it.

MINIER - MINIER (EXPANDED & DEMOS)
Limited to just 500
units pressed! Originally released on the legendary R.E.X. Records in
1990, this 7 song EP of crunchy Bay Area Thrash was of special interest
because Minier was none other than Greg Minier of the already legendary
punk/thrash/metal crossover legends, The Crucified! He recorded the
album at Casbah Studios with a budget of $400. When R.E.X. heard it,
they fell in love with it and released it exactly as Greg had delivered
it to them. Of special note, Greg was highly influenced by Metallica's
(at the time) newly released, And Justice For All album.....and when he
ran out of money recording his album, he figured if Metallica could
release their album without bass, then so could he! So this classic
Minier CD followed in the footsteps of And Justice For All....featuring
whiplash guitars, dense drums, Hetfield styled vocals, but no bass! The
2017 Retroactive Records remastered reissue also features various demos
recorded in Greg's bedroom.
Limited to just 500 units pressed, get it now while you can. For fans
of classic era Metallica, Deliverance, and Megadeth!

MODEST ATTRACTION - DIVINE LUXURY
Featuring Christian
Liljegren (pre-Narnia) and Mick Nordstrom (ex-Leviticus) Modest
Attraction rose from the ashes of the elite Swedish melodic band,
Borderline whose demos ruled the Christian metal underground in the
late 80's. After a couple of classic demos, the band recorded and
released their second album themselves and was available exclusively as
an import in the states. Divine Luxury (1996) built on the enormous
success of the debut and blew away both critics and long-time fans.
Memorable, exquisite, super-heavy, and firmly planted in the 70's with
a modern day production, Divine Luxury show cased the band at the
top-of-world of heavy metal. To this very day, Retroactive Records
owner, Matthew Hunt claims this album as one of his all-time favorites!
It's THAT amazing! Digitally remastered by none other than Narnia
axeman, C.J. Grimmark and the layout handled by none other than
NoLifeTilMetal's Scott Waters - the album has never looked or sounded
so elite and professional. Every CD comes with a Modest Attraction
foil-stamped trading card! Even though Nirvana and Soundgarden were
ruling the radio charts in 1 and 2, Modest Attraction was leading the
retro movement early on, and combined the extravagant showmanship of
Queen with the deep 70's vibes of classic Deep Purple, The Sweet,
Rainbow, Uriah Heep, Led Zeppelin. Modest Attraction embraced the
retro-vibe in every way - featuring members with full-blown long-hair,
platform shoes, and colorful stage clothes including flared trousers -
and it connected with fans in a serious way! Classic heavy metal gets
no better than this! Two important words - MUST-BUY!

NEVERMORE - THE OBSIDIAN CONSPIRACY (GOLD DISC)
Authentically
licensed 2010 classic album released on Century Media
Features two hard to find bonus tracks Production by former Soilwork
guitarist Peter Wichers
With the coveted Brutal Planet GoldMax Deluxe CD reissue treatment
Elite 2022 Remaster by Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound
Gold Disc CD to discourage disc rot and add beauty and elegance

Booklet write-up by esteemed heavy metal music critic, Martin Popoff!
Nevermore has always held a special place in the metal community with
both fans and other bands alike looking up to and respecting them. It
isn't hard to see why they command this level of respect, with
world-class guitarist Jeff Loomis and vocalist extraordinaire Warrel
Dane both calling Nevermore home. Because of this high profile and
superb talent, a lot is expected from Nevermore and for the most part,
album to album, Nevermore have consistently delivered the goods.
Therefore, the arrival of a new slab of metal from these guys is always
a pretty big deal and after waiting five years since The Godless
Endeavor, we finally got The Obsidian Conspiracy. Right off the bat it
becomes obvious The Obsidian Conspiracy is a bit of a departure for
Nevermore. While the trademark Nevermore elements are all still
present, long-time fans may notice this is less complex and more
accessible than The Godless Endeavor and other older works. Now, before
diehard Nevermore fans get their panties in a bunch and jump out a
window, this is still classic Nevermore and a very technical album with
some very heavy moments. Additionally, this is far from some pop metal
album. When I say accessible, I mean in the context of past Nevermore
albums, which could be very dense and heavily technical and require
patience to get into. Perhaps the added accessibility comes from a
growing maturity as songwriters or maybe some of it bled over from
Dane's solo album. Whatever the cause, the result is a collection of
well crafted songs which ebb and flow very well from mood to mood. The
2022 Brutal Planet Records GoldMax CD remaster includes two
hard-to-find bonus tracks (and a foil-stamped Ltd band Collector Card)
along with an expanded booklet with lyrics and band pics!

NO LOVE LOST - BLISS
No Love Lost is back
with their sophomore release. One that doesn't just prove the argument
that a band can outshine a strong debut, but sets the bar and achieves
a level up. This is more than an album. This is a call back to a
beloved genre and sound. Showing that in the year 2020 a band can make
an arena rock record with all the trimmings just like how you
remembered it. While adding the bonus of today's technology and
production. Produced by Ty Sims and Erik "Desmond Childish" Johnson, No
Love Lost creates the perfect love letter for this genre of music. Hard
hitting when it needs to be. Heartfelt when it wants to be, and just
damn FUN because it should be.
Scott Board is without a doubt a premier vocalist and should be
mentioned in the same breath with some legends. As he is a rare breed
that has a level of talent that rivals some of the best in the
business. Combine his signature distinctive vocal with the dual guitar
team of Jason Staton and Marc Brown, the result is an astonishing
winning combination of Rock N Roll as one would hope for, but sadly
rarely seen these days.
Of course, you need a foundation and you need to keep the beat. None
better than the rhythm section of fellow North Carolina Natives, than
Matt Crow (Bass) and Jason Collins (Drums) Will leave no question to
how formidable they are at their craft. When you hear the big floor tom
hits on Heartstrings, to the nice smooth bottom of No Secret. You will
have no questions about their prowess as a rhythm section.
Lastly, and certainly far from least. No Love Lost welcomes a legend
himself, Paul Shortino. As he duets with the band on the rock n roll
classic, Good Times (made famous by INXS and Jimmy Barnes). If there
was a song that was synonymous with Fun, it is this one, and the guys
do not disappoint!
All of this is pulled together by the masterful production leadership
of Ty Sims and Erik Johnson . Culminating into one simple word that
describes this album, and that is the apt title itself, "B L I S S"

ONE BAD PIG - A CHRISTIAN BANNED
A rare collectible.
This album by those fun and lovable punk thrash unit One Bad Pig is a
six-song, self-produced independent demo from 1986. What we got here is
the Pig in the raw, with three songs that found their way onto future
Pig releases, and three that were left on "A Christian Banned" (until,
of course, their resurrection on the best-of disc, "The Quintessential
One Bad Pig"). Here"s the song line-up: "6," which morphed into "Isaiah
6" for their debut "Smash." and is basically the dialogue between
Isaiah and the Lord found in Isaiah chapter six; "Sleepin" With The
World", an early example of the Pig"s talent for making their songs
mini sermons; "Make Me Burn", also an example of the emphasis One Bad
Pig makes on praise and worship; "Blow And Go", which found a second

ONE BAD PIG - LOVE YOU TO DEATH
After a studio
recording hiatus of a quarter century, One Bad Pig has come back
strong. It turns out these rock veterans have stayed in touch with one
another, playing the occasional one-off gig, having plenty left in the
tank and still with something to say. Combined with the equal
importance of musical talent to bring to the table, Love You to Death
is 15 songs of relevance, energy and full-on rock! The Austin-based
band's fifth studio album is an impressive group of styles, equal parts
punk, rock and metal. There's plenty to like here, from the pop
punk-ish "Teenage Royalty," the old school medley of "Sunday School
Rawk" and the dirty metal of "Get Your Hands Dirty." (The former even
features a lead vocal trade-off between Bloodgood's Les Carlsen and
Carey "Kosher" Womack.) The title track comes in fast with an incessant
riff, snapping snare and a declaration of love in the face of disbelief
and skepticism. Veterans of Christian rock will no doubt dig the pumped
up cover of the 77s classic, "The Lust, the Flesh, the Eyes and the
Pride of Life." It's a fun take and turns the chorus into an Irish pub
sing-along, complete with the ubiquitous chants of, "Hey! Hey! Hey!" A
must have new release from Christian music's most relentless swine
monikered punk/metal band!
The 2019 Retroactive Records treats collector's to a 12 page booklet
housed in a jewel case with lyrics, write up, and band pics. Yes, it's
awesome! The mastering is perfect, so it's the same as the original
band issued release

PARADOX - POWER & GLORY
Ruler had just been
released at a time when the band was garnering interest from record
labels for the first time. R.E.X., Frontline, Intense, Star Song and
Word Records contracts were all sitting on the kitchen table waiting to
be reviewed. The production of new music was under way. "Meet The King"
and "Just Want To Love You" were real barn burners with a furious
message of fidelity to God and in our relationships to one another. The
message of Power and Glory hit the band hard and fast. It was winter
1987, and Christmas was just around the corner. On the morning of
December 8th, we were struck with a message from which would forever
test and change the destiny of what would become a paradox of its own.
John Vidaurri had tragically died in an accident. At We just didn't
expect it, but we knew that John had a vision to bring us together and
he would have wanted us to finish it. Power and Glory took on a new
meaning for the band in 1988 when the decision was given to stay
together and to move forward with the mark of a higher calling, to
press on. The band started to receive condolence letters from the
record companies basically stating concern and reneging on the contract
offers previously sent. In short, they were worried how the loss was
going to affect the writing ability of the band, so they pulled back
the offers they had sent. "When in our weakness we were made strong
through Him, that who ever believeth in me even though he should die
will have eternal life." The hope of all glory is to one day be able to
see each other once again! A "Sweet Reunion!" "For we wrestle not
against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places." To see the power and the glory of God, we
offer the commitment and the passion and now the patience it took to
finally dedicate this release to John Vidaurri. John had a vision that
allowed Paradox to believe in this ministry, that through our the
music, the band could worship God with power and glory and let the
world know of God's goodness! Here you go with this album officially
released on CD and Vinyl for the very first time in history! The album
features the original five tracks, but 4 exclusive bonus tracks, all
digitally remastered by Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound, and layouts by
Scott Waters of NoLifeTilMetal. Vinyl comes with a black polylined
sleeve, hype sticker, 180 gram vinyl, write-ups from vocalist Manny
Castillo and Doug Van Pelt. The CD comes with a 12 page booklet packed
full of awesomeness! Over 30 years later, this classic album finally
gets the deluxe treatment it deserves, and collector's crave. Limited
edition pressing - be sure to get your copies while you can! For fans
of Sacred Warrior, Recon, and Stryper!

PARADOX - RULER
Music critics might
argue as to what city should be labeled "the heavy metal capitol of the
world." Hollywood, London, New York, San Francisco, Tampa. The debate
goes on. If you ask touring metal bands, though, there is a consensus
that this title should belong to none other than San Antonio, Texas.
Citizens of this Central Texas city love their heavy metal and
especially their fist-pumping, screaming and yelling loud hard rock
concerts. This is the city where Paradox was born. In 1987, they burst
upon the scene with this 8-song album-on-cassette called Ruler. It
introduced the metal world to the shredding, soloing and controlled
feedback of lead guitarist Fernando Hernandez. He was backed by rhythm
guitarist and heart of the band, John Vidaurri, who was also the
busiest member. He and his wife, Liz, would book the gigs, procure the
fashion, the makeup and all that went with making a band look metal.
Liz was the official band photographer, and she also would help with
their hair and choreograph their onstage moves. Brothers Galicia
provided the backbone of the rhythm section. Bassist Phil Galicia III
added great background vocals, played some keyboards and even handled
the artwork for the band. His little brother, Efrain, played drums like
a madman, swirled his hair around like Tommy Lee, and was still in high
school during this exciting time for the band. Manuel Castillo was the
band's frontman, which spilled over to leading the band spiritually,
hosting rehearsals in his garage, preaching from the stage and, in an
unusual move for a power metal band, he would whip out the flute for a
prog-metal number during their concerts. He mixes the fervor of Keith
Green with the showmanship of Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson. What other
metal singer can you say that about?
Sporting long hair, mascara and spandex like the rest of the late 0s
metal scene, Paradox mixed the power metal of Iron Maiden, Manowar or
Dio with the melodic metal sensibilities of a Stryper, Queensryche or
even Kiss. The riffs pulsate with a musical muscle workout while the
giant hooks grab the listener by the throat and almost force them to
sing along.
One thing that cannot be lost on this band is the lyrics. No matter
what side of the God or church fence you find yourself on, Paradox has
powerful, bold lyrics that match the passion of a revivalist preacher
and the theology of a pastor.
Tunes like "We Are the Temple" and "Ruler" were worship songs at full
volume. "Last Race," "Long Live the King" and "Stand Up for Jesus" were
pastoral anthems for believing metalheads. The latter even name dropped
Stryper and Bloodgood. How cool is that?
"Can't You See" and "You Must be Saved" were pleas to the unconverted
to come to Jesus. It doesn't get more blunt and in-your-face than that.
It's easy (and true) to say that it's a shame Paradox didn't get the
international record deal shared by their peers (like Sacred Warrior,
Whitecross and Barren Cross enjoyed), but there were thousands of
metalheads who did buy the Ruler and Power & Glory albums on
cassette. It is those fans who will most appreciate this re-release and
re-kindling of the fire that is Paradox (can you say "new material
coming soon?"), but those just now discovering the band will no doubt
rejoice, too

PARAMAECIUM - EXHUMED OF THE EARTH (GOLD DISC)
Bombworks Records is
ecstatic to announce in 2020 we are reissuing one of the finest and
most important Christian extreme metal albums ever on both CD (Gold
Disc) and Double LP Multi-Color Gatefold Vinyl! Given a complete
remaster by Bombworks Sound's Rob Colwell, the album sounds better than
ever, literally! Exhumed of the Earth is the debut album by
Paramaecium, released in 1993. Without any exaggeration, the album is
one of the landmarks of both doom metal and Christian metal movements.
The band incorporated several classical instrument arrangements on the
album, most notably on the 17 minute epic "The Unnatural Conception,"
where Rosemary Sutton played violin and Judy Hellemons flute. Sutton
also did the soprano vocals. The storyline of the album based on the
Bible: it begins at the birth of Christ, continues through his
resurrection, speaks of the disciples, and ends with Christians coming
to life from the dead. Because the biblical references in the lyrics
are elegantly written, the album has been often compared to old My
Dying Bride. Musically, Exhumed of the Earth is mostly slow-paced doom
metal with death metal influences, most notably on the death growl
vocals of Andrew Tompkins and on tracks like "Injudicial."
Exhumed. would go one to be voted #42 (just ahead of Horde, Vengeance,
and Seventh Angel) on Heaven's Metal Magazine's Top 100 Christian Metal
Albums of All-Time with music critic Jonathan "Doc" Swank saying, "With
its release, the Aussie trio of Andrew Tompkins, Jason De Ron and
Jayson Sherlock" essentially delivered the most powerful and moving
death/doom recording in the history of Christian metal."

PEEK, DAN - DOER OF THE WORLD
In the '70s, Peek
had been one third of one of the most successful bands in the USA,
America. They became one of the biggest bands in the USA. Unfortunately
the success still left Dan Peek empty inside and his spiritual journey
led him to salvation in the late '70s. He left the band and embarked on
a solo career, releasing his debut album in 1978. Doer of the Word is
his second album released in 1984. One thing is for sure, Peek knows
how to pen songs with hooky choruses and gorgeous harmony vocal
arrangements. He even persuaded his former band mates in America to add
their golden throats to the title cut here which is an absolute classic
of melodic pop with an encouraging Christian message. Those catchy pop
tunes continue throughout with other highlights including the killer
chorus of "Holy Spirit" and the pleasant vibe of "Your Father Loves
You". Peek's skill is combining a strong message with a great melody.
I'm left reflecting that 20 years later, there are few modern artists
who are truly interested in making strongly spiritual music outside the
worship genre, which is a shame. If you like west coast harmonies and
pop arrangements, there's plenty here to enjoy. For fans of classic
America, Rod Stewart, Billy Joel, Don Henley, Fleetwood Mac, Bob Seger,
The Band, and Van Morrison.

PERPETUAL PARANOIA - BETWEEN THE ALTAR & THE CROSS
Tiago James de Souza
was first known as guitarist for the bay area thrash band, Hand of
Fire. Dale Thompson was first known as the vocalist for Christian hard
rock legends, Bride. They have teamed up for their second album of
heavy metal enchantment. We say "enchantment" because this slab-o-metal
is more dangerous and packed full of more pure magic than an enchanted
forest. Trust us - this one is a maturation of the brilliance of the
band's debut, The Reaper.
Let's talk about the guitars on this album. They are instantly
recognizable as Tiago is a jazz musician with an electric magic wand in
his hands - far more than predictable, by-the-numbers heavy metal.
Expect occasional soft intros that lead into heavy, driving riffs,
along with odd chord progressions and key changes that keep the
listener entranced on what's coming next. There are multiple completely
memorable solos on this album that take excellent songs to even higher
levels. Tiago's guitar work is second to none. As if the album could
not get better, Between the Altar and the Cross also features guest
axe-men Juninho Afram (Oficina G3 of Brazil), Paul Jackson (Bloodgood),
Oz Fox (Stryper) and Troy Thompson (Bride). You will also hear the
talent of guest vocalists, JT (Metal Nobre), Les Carlsen (Bloodgood),
and Chaz Bond (BioGenesis). The band spared nothing on this album.
Dale's vocals are as aggressive as ever - daring, mesmerizing, and
leading the listener deeper into the enchanted forest of metal. Be
careful - there are fire-breathing dragons in that forest, and we
promise Between the Altar and the Cross will take you to places you did
not know existed. 12 tracks packaged in an 8 page insert and a jewel

PERPETUAL PARANOIA - HELL FEST
Hell Fest is Elite
Dark, Thrash Metal featuring Tiago (Hand of Fire/Biogenesis) and Dale
Thompson (Bride) - If you were headed to a deserted island and could
take only one metal CD with you - this is a bonafide desert island
disc! It's that brilliant! Tiago is one of the finest guitarists we
have ever heard - wielding his molten metal axe and playing with
jazz-inspired skill and precision. Taking no prisoners and leaving
behind only mushroom clouds, tank treads, and an arachnid cadaver
crawling across the landscape, Hell Fest is dark, heavy and the
definition of METAL. Add in the primal screams and vocals of Dale
Thompson who seems to only get more accomplished and better with age -
and you have one of the finest metal albums 2021 will offer. No band
sounds like Perpetual Paranoia - this collection of musicians is
creating music others can only hope to emulate, but expect to hear
elements of Slayer, Toxic Holocaust, Kreator, Havok, and Celtic Frost.

POUNDHOUND - MASSIVE GROOVES
What is
"psychofunkadelic grungelism?" You'll have to buy this album to find
out, and yes, you'll love it! Doug Pinnick, the 12-string bass thunder
of the iconic power trio King's X, has laid down an ear-pleasing,
foot-stomping, hand-clapping set of tracks on an "electric poundation"
of massive bass vibes that'll set your whole house-a-quaking. Pinnick's
trademark silk-and-gravel vocals impart a variety of moods to the
album, lending a funky gospel voice to songs like "Jangle" and "Shake,"
a bluesy world-weariness to "Soul" and "Friends," a Hendrix-style
otherworldliness to "Red." Pinnick's understated guitar work is
masterful (he plays all guitars as well as bass). The driving, crashing
drum work of Chad Lyons, Jerry Gaskill, and Shannon Larkin (ex
Wrathchild America and Ugly Kid Joe drummer) expand the vibes on this
album to a truly massive, glorious wall of sound. Pinnick's innovative,
enormously influential career ought by now to have earned him a prime
seat in the first rank of African American rockers, right beside Jimi
Hendrix and Sly Stone. This music is great enough to give him the
recognition he deserves. It's up to us fans to get the secret out. This
1998 masterpiece has been digitally remastered by Rob Colwell of
Bombworks Sound, and includes the Japan-only bonus track, "Anger," and
comes with a 12x12 insert featuring rare band photos and lyrics.

POUNDHOUND - PINEAPPLESKUNK (GOLD DISC EDITION)
Pineappleskunk is
the second solo recording by King's X singer/bassist dUg Pinnick under
the name Poundhound. The "pound" referred to is the distinctive bass
tuning that Pinnick uses in his recordings, and it is prevalent
throughout this album. In fact, expect the bass to melt your face off
after only a few majestic thumps. Lest you think Pinnick a one trick
pony, he sings, plays all instruments except drums (Jerry Gaskill of
King's X), wrote all the songs, arranged, recorded, mixed, and produced
the album. This one has everything one would expect from a dUg Pinnick
project including down-tuned guitars, bone-crushing bass, beautiful
rhythms, funky grooves, hard as nails riffs and dUg's signature vocals.
The 2022 Brutal Planet Records remaster is packaged in jewel case, a

POWELL, STEVE - REVELATION (THE PARTY'S OVER)
This album will
appeal to fans of the psychedelic monstrosity called RAINBOW PROMISE,
as Steve Powell is the lead sing of that giant slab of FUZZ guitar. As
with solo albums from bands like The Exkursions and Harvest Flight, the
solo album is full of rock, but not quite as radical. Yes, there are a
handful of softer moments, but the album still features plenty of
electric basement vibes - fully in tact! "Freedom" grinds out in a
heavy, grungy Larry Norman way, while "Excites Me" lays it down with
riffs that can only be described as raw and bluesy - in all the right
ways! "I Wanna Live" sure sounds like one of those psychy rural ballads
off of Rainbow Promise. Powell goes on to nail several more rural rock
tracks, all while playing piano, drums, while providing quality work on
rhythm guitar and lead guitar. The man has no limits! All ten tracks
are digitally remastered. The CD comes with a four panel insert, while
the Vinyl comes in at 140 grams, a quality heavy weight listening
experience! For fans of Love Song, Phil Keaggy, early Petra, Larry
Norman, Iron Butterfly, The Talbot Brothers, and Rainbow Promise!

Never one's to rest
on the accomplishments of their epic 1982 self-titled release, Prodigal
surpassed ridiculous expectations for their sophomore effort with
1984's Electric Eye. The album also received national attention for a
unique promotional idea: a computer program for a Commodore 64 was
mastered into a "stop-groove" at the end of the vinyl record, the first
time this had ever been done. The program, if copied to a cassette tape
could be loaded via cassette drive into a C-64 computer to reveal
graphics, lyrics and a message from the band. The 2018 Retroactive

with a second CD featuring their 30 minute Electric EyeRadio Special
plus four additional bonus tracks, and break out those Commodore

PRODIGAL - PRODIGAL (LEGENDS REMASTERED)
Based in Cincinnati,
Prodigal was fully in tune with the sounds and spirit of the late 70's
and 80's with the self-titled release of their 1982 debut album on
Heartland Records. Fronted by keyboard wiz, Loyd Boldman, Prodigal took
their cues from technology driven bands like Styx and DeGarmo & Key
(especially the early years), but also showed influences from artists
like Steely Dan, Ambrosia, Sweet Comfort Band, and Atlanta Rhythm

RAINBOW PROMISE - RAINBOW PROMISE
One of THE top
Christian psychedelic rarities is this custom guitar-based rock monster
from the 5-man band, Rainbow Promise with strong west coast vibes that
recall the best of Wilson McKinley! The stage is set right from the
start with the righteous rocker, "Get Ready," featuring
mouth-dropped-to-the-floor sharp dual guitar leads (reminds us of
"Paint It Black" by The Rolling Stones!). "Someone You Need" follows
with some of the most insane scorching echoed wah-wah guitar on record
anywhere and. "Do You Hear" starts off fast, then adjust to a moodier
feel, on par with much of what is on the Christian psych legendary
album, "Spirit of Elijah" by Wilson McKinley. The same can be said for
both "Prophecy" and "Rebirth," with the latter treating listeners to
inspired echoed guitar leads. Track eight is an electrified cover of
one of the most iconic Jesus Music tracks of the 70's - "Little Country
Church," made popular by Love Song. It's hard to top all this
greatness! The band even breaks open a fresh can of pure charm with the
delightful country rocker, "Romans 8-28" and the laid back campy "The
Joy of the Lord." The album features dynamic drumming and not a single
keyboard note to be found anywhere! The homemade cover art is
psychedelic perfection, with a depiction of the glorified Son of Man in
the midst of seven candlesticks as presented in Revelation 1:12-18.
Guitarist and primary song writer, Steve Powell (R.I.P. 2021) also has
a 1974 solo album, Revelation (The Party's Over) also available on CD
and Vinyl. CDs come with a foil-stamped trading card, packaged in an
eight panel insert. Vinyl comes with a 12" insert, and both CD and
Vinyl have been remastered to perfection. For fans of Exkursions,
Wilson McKinley, The Doors, Rolling Stones, Cream, Iron Butterfly,
early Resurrection Band, All Saved freak Band, Agape, and JC Power
Outlet! If you like massive, haunting rock music, and a scorching,
guitar onslaught, then this is for you!

RESURRECTION BAND - COLOURS (THE ORIGINALS: VOLUME 1)
Limited to just 500
units! Resurrection Band was the first ever full on hard rock/metal
bands to sing about faith in God. Too gritty and real to be courted or
comfortable in the 'Christian Music Industry,' they eventually created
their own record label (Grrr). Rez lives in the slums of downtown
Chicago and every ounce of struggle and reality is poured into their
14+ albums, Colours (1980) being one of the most important and
formative. Bone-crunching guitar rock with social and spiritual
sensibility, in the 70's and 80's Rez ruled the hearts of people in the
church who cared more about being real than being religious. Great
music, great lyrics, great artwork, great people. This 2017 Retroactive
Records reissue features a full color 4 panel digipak, with all artwork
taken from an original gatefold vinyl record! The audio is remastered
and the same as the 2005 jewel case reissue on Retroactive. The first
of The Originals Series on Retroactive Records, be sure to get Mommy
Don't Love Daddy (The Originals: Volume 2) and D.M.Z. (The Originals:
Volume 3) that all showcase the magic and charm of these original
releases!

RESURRECTION BAND - DMZ (THE ORIGINALS: VOLUME 3)
Limited to just 500
units! Originally released in 1982 on Light Records, D.M.Z. offers some
of Resurrection Band's most powerful musical testaments. "Military Man"
is a blistering opening track sung by Glenn about the loss of a
soldier's humanity in the struggle to survive. "White Noise" features
Wendy's all-time best raw vocal on a song about the rhetoric of a
culture that prioritizes stockpiling arms over feeding children. It
begins with a 90 second feedback-drenched guitar solo by Stu Heiss that
is Resurrection Band's answer to Van Halen's "Eruption" and is
generally considered to constitute the single greatest non-Phil Keaggy
guitar moment in Christian rock. "Area 312" is another classic, which
is a teenager's lament about the loneliness of the inner city. This
2017 4 panel digipak reissue is limited to 500 copies and features the
same remaster that was used on the 2005 Retroactive Records jewel case
reissue.

RESURRECTION BAND - MOMMY DON'T LOVE DADDY ANYMORE (THE ORIGINALS
Limited to just 500
units! One of Resurrection Band's best albums in part because no
Christian band in 1981 was touching topics like divorce, being
disabled, or being dirt poor like Rez. Mommy Don't Love.... deals with
many injustices lyrically and musically. It's hard, fast, and bluesy
with metal sensibilities. No one rocked like Resurrection Band.
Originally released in 1981 on Light Records, the album focuses on
relationships. "Mommy Don't Love Daddy Anymore" offers social
commentary on the painful realities of the American culture of divorce.
"The Chair" offers a troubling statement of how a person with physical
disabilities responds to being a target for social pity. While "The
Crossing" describes the self-denial necessary to achieve emotional
peace. And as hard hitting as the band is lyrically, they rip just as
hard musically. It's because of albums like Mommy. that Resurrection
Band offers the very definition of Christian music's "classic rock."
This 2017 digipak reissue is limited to 500 copies, using only the
original vinyl gatefold to reproduce the stunning artwork, featuring
all the original songs and part of the Retroactive Records The
Originals (Volume 2) series featuring both Colours and D.M.Z. in all

REX CARROLL & THE BLEED - TAKE BACK A LIFE
Back in '97 REX
CARROLL got together with former Lovewar vocalist TIM BUSHONG to create
THE BLEED and released an album called "Ouch!". At the coaxing of their
label they used silly fake names in their liner notes to purposely
obscure the fact that it was them. Unfortunately the poorly marketed
album was quickly forgotten and has long been out of print.. 'til now
of course. 15 years later Retroactive Records has yanked this 90's hard
rock gem out of the clutches of obscurity and made it widely available!

RIVERA BOMMA - INFINITE JOURNEY OF SOUL
Having two metal
releases on several overseas labels, Christian metal heavyweights
RIVERA BOMMA storm the U.S. with their first new release in 7 years!
Featuring a stunning collection of musicians, the band features Johnny
Bomma (ex-Hades, Metal Blade Records) delivering vocal chops with grit,
elegance and swagger. Rivera began studying classical guitar and
flamenco before discovering the likes of Ritchie Blackmore, Michael
Schenker and Malmsteen - incorporating all of those influences in his
axe-cellent guitar work. Angelic Warlord reviews describe Rivera's
style as "dazzling" and say that he "is a shredder in the truest sense
of the word". Also playing on the new album is talented original
drummer Ed Faust, and on bass you will hear the thundering tones of
none other than Mike LePond of progressive metal giants Symphony X!

SACRED WARRIOR - MASTER'S COMMAND (GOLD DISC)
There's something
about yche influenced power metal that makes hard music devotees go
weak in the knees. Perhaps it is the high-end, soaring and at times
operatic lead vocals not unlike those of revered Queensr˙che front man
Geoff Tate. Maybe it is a technical proclivity rooted in the power
metal aesthetic that also suggests of light progressive bearings. It
might also be a high level of musicianship found in a guitarist both
melodic and searing, intricate double bass drummer, bassist that lays
the detailed low-end foundation and keyboardist that underscores but
not to a fault. With Sacred Warrior, it is all of the above in light of
its dark but sophisticated take on the power metal form.
1989's Master's Command displays the band in better form from a
technical perspective, with chops well-honed from time on the road.
While backing away from the power metal of their debut, the album is a
strong collection of hard rock songs and includes the more melodic
tracks "Paradise" and "Beyond the Mountain," which season the heavy
sound with catchy hooks and memorable choruses. "The Flood" offers a
vocal duet between Parra and Roger Martinez (of Vengeance). The album
closes with what most consider to be its highlight, a heavy metal
version of the traditional hymn "Holy, Holy, Holy." Few albums could
legitimately be the greatest Christian metal album of all-time.
Master's Command is a contender to such a lofty throne. It's that good.
And, Retroactive Records has done everything possible to make this the
ULTIMATE CD reissue of one of the ultimate Christian metal albums ever.
The album has been digitally remastered by Rob Colwell of Bombworks
Sound, packaged in a 12-page booklet/jewel case, and comes on an elite
Gold Disc CD.

SACRED WARRIOR - WICKED GENERATION
Sacred Warrior's
1990 Wicked Generation is an album with a much darker vibe than
previous masterpieces - one which would stir mixed reactions from the
fan base. Wicked Generation, while controversial for its darker remains
an essential part of the Sacred Warrior story. Certainly, it is the
most conceptual album of the four, with many similarities to Operation
Mindcrime, but with a positive message. Wicked Generation was the
"ministry" album made to reach the those lost and broken - the
destitute, depraved and forgotten. Dealing with issues such as child
abuse, suicide, dabbling in the demonic and sin in general, these songs
have a heavy vibe for sure. If you weren't a Christian back in the
90's, this is the album most likely to make you curious about God. The
dark subject matter was accompanied by Parra's haunting vocal delivery,
Swift's frenetic and progressive guitar heroics, and Velasquez's
percussive snare and tom attacks nicely conveying a sense of battle.
The music and the lyrics come together to hammer home a thunderous,
sobering metallic attack like the metal world had never experienced,
especially in the Christian scene. The 2019 Retroactive Records CD
reissue is the second of the Metal Icon Series, and features a 16 page
booklet packed with band photos, a write up from Heaven's Metal
Magazine's Jonathan "Doc" Swank, lyrics and more! It also features a
fresh 2019 remaster by J Powell of Stenhaus and has never, ever sounded
better. This is THE definitive reissue of one of Christian metal's most
definitive albums. For fans of Iron Maiden, Queensryche, and Crimson
Glory!

SAINT - CRIME SCENE EARTH 2.0
Saint is one of a
handful of pioneering Christian heavy metal bands that re-grouped after
being inactive for some years. After dominating Christian metal in the
80's, they reformed in 1999 and self-released albums in 2004, 2006 and
then Crime Scene Earth in 2008. The band signed with Retroactive
Records in 2009 and agreed to have the label re-release this 2008
classic. However, this new Retroactive Records version has been
re-titled, Crime Scene Earth 2.0, as the album has had many parts
completely re-recorded as well as being remixed and remastered. CSE 2.0
also features stunning, all-new artwork by extraordinary artist, Rex
Zachary (Liberty N Justice, Tourniquet, Ultimatum), which is far
superior to the original release.
On the original release, the classic voice of Saint, the immortal
golden-throated Josh Kramer, sang on only three tracks. On this
re-release, the band had Josh go back and record his Rob Halford-ish
vocals on every single track on the album! From the thunderous "Bended
Knee" to the stunning cover of the Judas Priest classic "Invader", Josh
and Saint ascend to the elite levels of melodic heavy metal! This Heavy
Metal classic has never sounded better!
*NoLifeTilMetal: "If Saint were to put out a "best of" collection,
these songs would easily fit in with their past recordings."
*AngelicWarlord: "On Crime Scene Earth, Saint stays true to form by
giving us another slab of quality classic metal."

SAINT - TIME'S END (GOLD DISC)
On Heaven's Metal
Magazine's Top 100 Christian Metal Albums of All-Time, music critic
Chris Gatto calls the dark, apocalyptic metal of 1986's Times End, a
landmark release. With lyrics like "He wakes in darkness, the stench of
burnt flesh fills the air, his chewed up body, the rats are crawling
everywhere," these songs became the anthems of a new generation. The
artwork had demons rising from the sea and had many questioning if
Times End was safe to listen to. The music inside was even more
dangerous than the artwork - forceful, technical, filled with crunchy
distortion and sinister guitar tones attached to unforgettable hooks.
Thankfully, the answer was a definitive NO! Saint was dangerous and
unsafe - acknowledging the real presence of evil and darkness in the
world, and directing us towards the light. Times End was nothing less
than a metallic freight train that came out of nowhere and floored fans
left and right. The album is still crushing metal fans daily in 2020,
which is why this Retroactive Records reissue offers elite packaging
and a fresh remaster from the ground up. This is THE definitive reissue
of this classic album - so "Don't miss the end of the world, it's the
greatest show on earth, most everybody's got their tickets, and they'll
really get their money's worth."

SAINT - TOO LATE FOR LIVING (GOLD DISC)
Coming in at #20 on
the Christian Metal Realm's 100 Greatest Christian Metal Albums,
Saint's 1988 release of Too Late For Living (Pure Metal Records) put
out a beacon for metal fans, "Red alert star craft approaching
everybody put on your gear" and metalheads took heed. The band's third
release combined powerful, hard driving heavy metal with convicting and
engaging apocalyptic lyrics that sounded nothing like what your pastor
wanted you listening to! Back in 1988, your mom might be hiding your
Whiteheart cassette from you (too rocky, right?), but your sure as heck
weren't gonna let her find your Saint cassette! The songs on Too Late
became instant life anthems that sustained the souls of angst-ridden,
alienated youth across the globe. While much of Christian metal served
up a platter of cheesy lyrics, Saint's lyrics were like none other -
speaking Good News with confidence and authority - just what we needed.
It wasn't long before we were singing every word, to every song - even
in our sleep. Too Late found a way into the DNA of Christian metal
fans, striking a chord with and meeting the needs of a generation who
wondered if anyone understood. With a 2020 fresh remaster from the
ground up, and elite packaging we promise this is THE ultimate and
definitive reissue for Saint fans. Yes, it's that amazing! So, don't
you stop fighting, armor up starpilot!

SAINT - WARRIORS OF THE SON (30TH ANN. EDITION)
The original Saint
"Warriors of the Son" EP was recorded in 1984 on an 8-track recorder.
Back then there wasn't much Christian metal around, so despite the very
thin production, the album saw plenty of spin time on Christian
metalhead turntables due to the fact that the songs were still good.
However, once the band's follow-up albums were released, the glaring
production issues of "Warriors" became more apparent . In 2004, Saint
decided to re-record their debut EP as a sort of celebration of their
20th anniversary as a band. With a new cover of the band, the new &
improved recording, and the addition of two songs not previously
available, the CD became a necessity for this long time Saint fan. The
band stayed true to the original songs for the most part, and vocalist
Josh Kramer shows he still had "it" after all those years. These
familiar songs sound great with modern heavy production. The two new
tracks, "Reaper" and "Killers and the Destroyers," were written by
Lynch/Mahan in the very early 80's, and round out the album quite
nicely. This 2014 30th Anniversary Edition 4 panel digipak is a reissue
of the 2004 (re-recorded) Warriors of the Son - digitally remastered by
J Powell at Steinhaus, and displaying extravagant new artwork provided
by FlyJams. You now have a vastly superior version of this classic
album, worthy of repeated listens!

SAVAGE, RANDY (MACHO MAN) - BE A MAN
"Macho Man" Randy
Savage was a WWE wrestling superstar with dazzling over-the-top
costumes. His signature phrase, "Ohhh yeah!" won over wrestling fans
worldwide and eventually was seen in nearly every SlimJim commercial.
He even played a wrestler "Bone Saw" McGraw in the 2002 movie,
Spider-Man. His music career started in 1993 making his debut
WrestleMania: The Album along side of other top wrestlers such as Bret
"The Hitman" Hart, A The Undertaker, A Hacksaw Jim Duggan and others.A
On October 7, 2003, Savage released his debut rap/hiphop album titledA
Be a Man, A which has sold over the years for staggering amounts.A It
includes a tribute song to a fellow wrestler "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig
who passed earlier that year. It also included the title track "Be a
Man" that was aimed right at fellow wrestling icon and former Mega
Powers tag-team partner Hulk Hogan. Fortunately, before Savage's death
he had the opportunity to bury the hatchet with Hogan after a decade
long feud that many thought was just a marketing gimmick. This rap
album has been completely remastered and comes in a 6 panel wallet with
a LTD collectors card. It includes DJ Kool on the very club-like vibe,
"Hit The Floor", the second single which would have been amazing to see
live. It also includes Big K, Brian O, Da Raskulls, Inc., Eliott
Harris, Shianna Raymona, Mo Blaze and Smokke.

SCATERD FEW - SIN DISEASE (GOLD DISC)
Originally released
on Alarma! Records in 1990
#16 on HM Magazine's Top 100 Christian Rock Albums of All-Time
#9 on RateYourMusic's Top 100 Christian Rock Albums of All-Time
Each CD comes with a FREE Ltd Scaterd Few Collector card! (1st pressing
only)
Produced by Terry Taylor (Daniel Amos/Swirling Eddies) & Allan R.
Aguirre
Guest guitars by Greg Lawless (Adam Again) and Greg Flesch (Daniel
Amos)
Scaterd Few played the Christian Cornerstone festival and toured with
Bad Brains in support of the album.
Never before reissued on CD, the album has been expertly remastered by
J Powell at Steinhaus, features an 8-page booklet in a jewel case, and
each CD comes with a Scaterd Few Ltd Collector Card! Limited to just
1000 units, grab this treasure while you can! "Merciless, brutal,
neurotic, Tourettic, and consistently stunning, Scaterd Few's debut
didn't push the boundaries of rock - it annihilated them. Allan
Aguirre's vocal delivery was chilling: a wild, unconstrained howl that
went from gothic moan to banshee yelp within the space of a single
lyric. He sings like a man on fire, wild-eyed and crazy, yelping out
each dire prophecy as if every word might be his last. The band's music
is equally urgent. Scaterd Few summoned a mad-scientist hybrid of dub,
reggae, post-punk, and heavy metal that outshone even visionary avatars
like the Pop Group." - Allmusic.com

SILOAM - DYING TO LIVE
2022 dynamic digital
remaster by Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound
12 page booklet / jewel case with lyrics
Originally a 1995 release on Ocean Records.
Siloam is a Canadian hard rock band with a musical style and history
similar in some respects to Holy Soldier. The group is led by its
composer and only constant member, Brian Lutes, who tells a dramatic
testimony of becoming a drug addict and a teenage prostitute before
finding salvation through Christ. The first incarnation of Siloam was a
pop-metal band that somehow got on good terms with the Canadian
government and played hundreds of concerts at public schools, where
they would deliver a positive "Don't do drugs-Stay in school" message.
The group also toured internationally and in their homeland with bands
like Mötley Crüe, Bon Jovi, and Van Halen and, according to Lutes, they
sold some 400,000 units of their first two albums independently while
remaining virtually unknown in the official Christian market. HM would
be the only Christian publication to pay them any mind, giving
favorable reviews to all three albums. Lyrically, Lutes's songs all
focus on the dark aspects of life-troubled homes, abuse, and the
yearning for love and acceptance. DYING TO LIVE was originally released
in 1995, and has been digitally remastered to perfection. Along with
the 12 page expanded booklet, this is a collector's dream. For fans of
Skid Row, Holy Soldier, Slaughter, Stryper, and Winger!

SILOAM - SWEET DESTINY (LEGENDS REMASTERED)
This is THE big
monster smash-hit debut from a band that didn't survive long after the
grunge on-slaught! Ottawa, Canada based Siloam is the brainchild of
uber-talented drummer, Brian Lutes. Coming out of a real street-wise
background, Lutes became a Christian after nearly dying of a drug
overdose but went back to the streets in order to work with kids and
relate the Gospel to them in a credible way. For naysayers who try and
claim Christian hard rock and metal was second-class to mainstream rock
like Skid Row, Def Leppard, and Guns-n-Roses we'd like to introduce you
to SILOAM! In the words of music critic, Angelic Warlord, "Sweet
Destiny flows quite well from front to back in that it includes no
filler tracks." Tim Laroche decorates the album with blazing and at
times distorted lead guitar work, cutting loose on "Eastern Skies" and
"Deceiver" while exhibiting a bluesier side to his playing on "Child Of
Mine." Very Oz Fox-esque in style. This is full-on, exceptional,
melodic, commercial AOR/metal with massive hooks, killer vocals, and
top shelf production. Following the release of Sweet Destiny, Siloam
became involved in the "Really Me/Stay In School" rock tour across
Canada - which was also part of a Just Say No anti-drug campaign - that
featured sponsorship from the likes of McDonald's, Pepsi, major hotel
chains, fuel companies and even the Canadian government. Siloam, as a
result of this partnership, was able to tour with over a million
dollars worth of staging, sound and light gear, taking its message to
arenas and stadiums with audiences that literally numbered in the tens
of thousands. If you like bands that have that distinct 80's sound
along the lines of Stryper, Crystavox, Guardian, and Holy Soldier, then
grabbing a copy of Siloam's 1991 debut release is a must!

SIXPENCE NONE THE RICHER - THIS BEAUTIFUL MESS (GOLD DISC)
It's a beautiful
piece of heartache. This Beautiful Mess represents all that is
worthwhile in art. Somewhere in Matt Slocum's little brain, there was a
beautiful experience; something precious and rare - something most of
us do not possess. Call it cultural knowledge or enriched
intellectuality. Maybe he just has a gene that possesses musical
genius. This Beautiful Mess is a conundrum that is powerful, dynamic,
and quietly loud (indeed it has its moments of release). There are so
many parallels drawn within this masterpiece of music. We get the pain
of humanity vs. the love of God, the pain of God's love vs. the pain of
our understanding of divine love. Look at the paradox within the title
- it continues throughout the album. In a certain light, it teaches us
the circumstances in life which one must go through before we realize
that life without God is, indeed, a paradox. No amount of
soul-searching or humanistic experience or knowledge will ever recover
what a lost cause humanity will always be. Which is why, in our mess,
things become beautiful - but only if we decide to take the difficult,
painful road of faith in God. There are many stories in this album,
only you won't hear them. What you will hear is the emotion, the
knowledge, the life that was gained as a result of those stories. I
don't know what inspired Matt to write a song like "Love, Salvation,
the Fear of Death." What I do know is that that mountain of a song is
immersed in what I would call a real, deep, and healthy existence. Matt
has lived what most of us wish we could simply understand - a life with
meaning. That is what This Beautiful Mess reaches to tell us - there is
meaning, but you'll have to go through a lot of hell - a lot of mess -
before you can look at your life and proclaim "this was good. This was
beautiful."

STRYPER - MURDER BY PRIDE (GOLD DISC)
Officially licensed
from Big3 Records, this Girder Records Legends of Rock release comes in
a jewel case with 12-page booklet insert that includes readable lyrics,
photos, liner notes. It also comes with a special LTD edition striped
print, gold-foiled collectors trading card sealed inside, limited to
only the first pressing. Each release is a Gold Disc and comes with
reversible full cover if you prefer not to display the gold border
cover.
Stryper is the most celebrated Christian rock band there is. Anyone
reading this most likely knows the impact that Stryper has had on the
scene. From the soaring vocals of Michael Sweet, the guitar attack of
Oz Fox to the visual timekeeping (a show all on its own) of Robert
Sweet, this band plowed a lot of ground and few would debate their
legacy or impact. When the band reunited, the Christian rock community
had massive reason to celebrate. Stryper 2.0 was here. Although many
thought that Stryper's first album back would be the next To Hell With
the Devil or In God We Trust album. What we actually got was something
altogether different. Stryper was Reborn. After Reborn dropped in 2005
most were just thrilled for something new, however some had complaints
that it wasn't the same ole Stryper. I for one am glad that we aren't
still living with Blockbuster, MySpace, AOL, Netzero, Buicks, and
flip-phones. I'm glad we've evolved and so should music. In my book,
Stryper did it right. They reinvented themselves. Reborn and Murder By
Pride are quintessential Stryper history in the making and now in Gold
Disc they are the quintessential releases to own.

TABOR, TY - MOONFLOWER LANE
Moonflower Lane is
guitarist Ty Tabor's second solo album outside his full-time band,
King's X. By making quite a name for himself in hard rock/heavy metal
circles over the years, many would expect a full-on
metal-guitar-shredding release, but Tabor has always emphasized the
importance of melody and songwriting over carefree guitar wanking.
Since Tabor handles all the album's singing himself, Moonflower Lane
has more of a strong Beatles flavor than your average King's X release
(Tabor's voice is similar to John Lennon's at times). Highlights
include the hopeful opener "I Do," and the melodic hard rock of "The
Island Sea," as well as "I Know Everything" (on which Ty's son plays
French horn!), "The Truth," and "Her Palace." Moonflower Lane is full
of first-rate Tabor compositions that longtime fans have loved and
cherished since it's release in 1998! First time ever on vinyl - and
limited to just 400 units - get it while you can in either black or
random color! This 1998 masterpiece has been digitally remastered by
Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound, and includes the Japan-only bonus
track, "Had to Move," which might be the single greatest bonus track
ever! We can't believe it got left off the original issue! Every CD
comes with a Ty Tabor foil-stamped trading card that will please the
most avid collector. Get this treasure while you can!

TABOR, TY - SAFETY (GOLD DISC EDITION)
Ty Tabor's latest
solo album, Safety, was written and recorded over a three-year period.
The ten songs chronicle his journey through the end of a "busted
marriage." Aside from Jerry Gaskill on drums for most of the tracks and
Christian Nesmith providing a few backing vocals, Tabor plays and sings
(and produces and mixes and masters) everything on the album. While the
material from King's X (Ty's main band) is usually harder and more
progressive, Ty's solo music is full of easily palatable pop-rock with
catchy melodies and copious amounts of Beatle-derived vocal harmonies.
The opening track, "Tulip" is example one with an upbeat
acoustic-electric song that bears a strong George Harrison influence.
The title track mixes acoustic Zeppelin with Crosby, Stills & Nash
vocal harmonies to create a rollicking good tune where Tabor finds some
peace during his marital discord. Here Tabor shows he can be at his
best when collaborating with others. There are some incredible melodies
and vocal harmonies within. And, while the subject content is raw and
honest, one would be hard pressed not to find songs which speak to the
wounded soul. The 2022 Brutal Planet Records remaster is packaged in
jewel case, a 12-page booklet, and the coveted Brutal Planet GoldMax
treatment that collector's crave for their treasured albums. Oh, and
every CD contains a limited edition gold-foil-stamped Collector card!

TANGO DOWN - IDENTITY CRISIS
After a lengthy
hiatus, former Accept vocalist David Reece has become one of the
hardest working musicians in rock. On the follow-up to 2009's Damage
Control, Tango Down recruited Reece to replace the departed Alex
Barbeiri and welcomed bassist Chris Konys back into the fold. The
result is a very satisfying melodic rock album that sounds more like
classic Bangalore Choir than that band's current Metaphor release.
Identity Crisis is all about over-the-top harmonies and an endless
supply of guitar hooks -- not unlike label mates Farcry, partly thanks
to the flawless production of Bombay Black's Ty Sims. One thing I
noticed right away was how Reece's voice has steered Tango Down into a
more melodic direction, simply because he is more of a traditional rock
singer than the gruffer Barbeiri. It's not a huge change, as the Tango
Down blueprint is still clearly visible, but the slightly mellower
direction means the band is a bit more accessible this time around. Of
course there is nothing 'mellow' about the opening "Crying To Me", a
hard-hitting number that instantly sets the tone with Reece battling
the powerful guitar riff for supremacy. "Dream Child" is more of the
same before "Blame" slows things down slightly and succeeds with a huge
sing-a-long chorus. After a couple of predictable mid-tempo tracks the
disc fires up again with the KISS inspired "Hearts Catch Fire". Ending
this impressive album is "Magic Pudding", a pulsating rocker that puts
one final exclamation point on the whole affair. Identity Crisis is a
strange name for this release, because I honestly think Tango Down have
finally found their true identity. Hopefully David Reece sticks around
long enough to expand on what the New York band have created here,
although considering their track record with frontmen I won't hold my
breath. For my money this is exactly the type of music Reece's voice is
best suited for, and in turn has resulted in the pinnacle of Tango
Down's short career thus far.

TOURNIQUET - PATHOGENIC OCULAR DISSONANCE
With 1992's
Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance, Tourniquet continued to ascend in both
critical acclaim and as artists. The band made it onto Heaven's Metal
Magazine's Top 100 Christian Metal Albums of All Time for a third time
in three albums. Reviewer Chris Beck commented, "Arguably their best
album, Tourniquet achieved near perfection from beginning to end with
brutally heavy guitars and lyrics." Musically, the album goes for a
more aggressive thrash metal direction. The songs are complicated,
technical and feature experiments with styles such as jazz, classical,
and blues. The album introduced more Slayer-esque shouting vocal
patterns by Gary Lenaire as well as a darker atmosphere. Guy Ritter
sang less on the album than on previous Tourniquet albums. The 2020
reissue is reloaded with a 16-page insert with loads of
never-before-seen band pics, and four exclusive bonus tracks
never-before-released (two live tracks and two demo tracks). And, you
also get an all-new 2020 remaster by Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound
which makes this is THE ultimate collector's dream for deluxe reissues!
Tourniquet has earned six GMA Dove Award nominations and won
recognition globally from magazines such as Modern Drummer, Guitar
Player, Metal Hammer, and HM Magazine, where Tourniquet was voted
"Favorite Band of the 1990s" and won "Favorite Album of the 1990s."
Tourniquet has sold more than 300,000 albums.

TOURNIQUET - PSYCHO SURGERY
With Psycho Surgery,
the band went in a more modern, experimental, and technical
thrash-metal style, incorporating heavy doses of classical
music-influenced guitar riffs, complex tempo changes, and virtuosic
guitar solos. One reviewer described the album as "Slayer plays
Beethoven...." Vocalist Guy Ritter also abandoned his King Diamond-like
high-pitched falsetto in favor of a more melodic baritone register and
the band went on to reach a level of popularity worthy of their
excessive talent. The title track is the closest thing the group has to
a signature song. It opens with the dissonant sounds of an orchestra
tuning, then introduces strangely growled vocals beneath a barrage of
other sounds. Radical and abrupt time changes, dissonant harmonies, and
a melodic vocal chorus all account for the song's initially
inaccessible but ultimately mesmerizing appeal. The allegorical lyrics
about all sorts of medical practices seem to be about the process of
developing a new heart and a new mind. Maybe it was best said by
Heaven's Metal reviewer, Chris Gotto, "A timeless slab of gut-wrenching
metal, combining the best of technical riffs, progression, speed metal
and love of classical music in a way that only these Christian thrash
kings can." The 2020 reissue is reloaded with a 16-page insert with
loads of never-before-seen band pics, and four exclusive bonus tracks
never-before-released (two live tracks and two demo tracks). And, you

TOURNIQUET - STOP THE BLEEDING
Few bands have hit
the scene with a debut album that was a too-hot-handle bonafide instant
classic from the moment it hit the stores. The CMR Top 100 Christian
Metal Albums Of All-Time ranks this 1990 debut at #5 of ALL-TIME! And,
yes, it is that important and that good! Tourniquet formed in Los
Angeles, CA in 1989. The band was founded by Ted Kirkpatrick, Guy
Ritter, and Gary Lenaire. Stop the Bleeding is an intoxicating mixture
of thrash, progressive, and neo-classical heavy metal that helped the
band move light years beyond cliche' and triviality. The song "You Get
What You Pray For" was the band's first single and charted quite well.
It was a GMA Dove Award nominee for "Metal Recorded Song of the Year"
in 1990. The band's groundbreaking and controversial video for "Ark of
Suffering," written by drummer Ted Kirkpatrick, a true animal welfare
advocate, contains disturbing footage of animals in laboratories and
slaughterhouses - received airplay on MTV before the channel ceased
airing it after complaints that it was too graphic. Despite MTV's ban,
the video won the Christian News Forum Contemporary Christian Music
Award for "Rock Video of the Year," and Heaven's Metal magazine readers
voted it their "Favorite Video of the Year." Tourniquet has earned six
GMA Dove Award nominations and won recognition globally from magazines
such as Modern Drummer, Guitar Player, Metal Hammer, and HM Magazine,
where Tourniquet was voted "Favorite Band of the 1990s" and won

TRYTAN - CELESTIAL MESSENGER (GOLD DISC)
Let us take you back
in time to the 80's. Open the wardrobe and grab your spandex trousers,
look in the mirror and get the spray ready to make that hair big! Trust
us - just close your eyes and take a super-charged spaceship back to
the glory days of hard rock and heavy metal smack-dab in the middle of
1987! The music on Celestial Messenger is exquisite - featuring
thundering bass lines, wickedly righteous guitar riffing, and drumming
perfection while all being tied together with the silky-sweet Geddy Lee
inspired vocals of Lary Dean. One listen to the remastered magic of
this classic album and we were instantly hooked just like 30+ years ago
when we bought the cassette at our local Christian bookstore! The
Rush-inspired synthesizers cannot be overlooked as they continue to be
a critical part of Trytan's progressive rock masterpiece that has aged
like a fine wine over time. As an added treat, Retroactive Records
worked with the band to come up with three must-hear bonus tracks from
Trytan demos and wow - wow - and more wow are they progressive rock
round-house kicks - one after the other. While they are demo tape
tracks, the music is top-shelf elite and the kind of songs you want to
listen to repeatedly. Tryan proves this band knows how to balance
melody, musicianship, jams, complexity and hooks with progressive rock
finesse. The 2021 Gold Disc Remaster is the quintessential CD reissue
of this revered classic. This CD reissues comes with the strongest
recommendation possible. It is elite in every way and comes with a
Trytan foil-stamped trading card. For fans of Kansas, Rush, Balance of
Power, Threshold, Jacobs Dream, Veni Domine.

TRYTAN - SYLENTIGER (GOLD DISC)
After their 1987
spacey-prog rock and metal debut, Trytan came roaring back with
Sylentiger in 1990 with heavier, proggier, and more mature AOR/Metal.
Many thought Sylentiger to be a perfect combination of Rush meets Fates
Warning. Thinking-man's metal, Sylentiger has enough ideas to fill a
recording twice it's length. Here you'll find Trytan's most complex
playing, & Lary Dean really shows us what an all-commanding monster
on guitar he really is! Many of his solos are brilliant ascending
crescendos of intuitive genius! Dean knows his guitar better than most
people know themselves, making his guitar an extension of his soul in a
monumental flurry of magnificent notes. Robinson and Dobbs are right
behind him, laying down a massive foundation of solidness that will
withstand the test of time for Lary Dean's soaring guitars! The
combination of the three make an indisputable pinnacle of masterful
talent! Turn your stereo up loud & buckle in as the sea of music
that lies within Sylentiger is nothing short of a maelstrom of swirling
notes. With both musical and lyrical content escalating into an all out
assault on the ears & the mind, fans get to experience the
fierceness of this remastered tiger like never before! The 30th
Anniversary Edition will be reissued as a Gold Disc Edition CD,
remastered by Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound.

ULTIMATUM - INTO THE PIT
Simply put, the
masters of thrash metal nailed it in 2007. Into the Pit qualifies as a
juggernaut of North American metal. With Into the Pit, the band
unleashed one of thrash metal's most brilliant moments, following in
the footsteps of fellow peers Exodus, Vengeance Rising, early Megadeth,
Overkill, and Kreator. With its thundering bass, fast drumming and a
wealth of Mastodonian rifferry, the boys have clearly learned from
their elders, and learned well. Guitarist, Robert Gutierrez fills every
track with fiery, blowtorch riffs and scorching solos. Vocalist Scott
Waters far exceeds his commendable efforts on previous albums, sounding
every bit as brilliant as thrash legend Roger Martinez (Vengeance
Rising), while never forsaking his classic Ultimatum vocal style. It's
rare to find a band able to progress and mature in their craft so much
without changing their sound. If you like your metal fast, heavy, neck
snapping, bone crunching, and old school then Into the Pit is your
"stranded on a deserted island" disc. Careful though. This stuff is
dangerously heavy! We warned you! Really, we did. This is where the
heart of metal begins and ends!

ULTIMATUM - LEX MATALIS
ULTIMATUM is a metal
band from New Mexico whose sound is a mixture of traditional heavy,
power/speed/thrash metal and more modern grooves; brutal guitars,
blazing leads, pounding drums, thundering bass and shrill, shrieking
vocals. Ultimatum does not claim to follow any trends nor do they wish
to do so. Ultimatum is great at writing good, heavy, memorable metal
songs and has been doing this since their 1992 beginning!
Lex Metalis (Latin for "Metal Is Law") is the band's fifth full-length
release and follow up to the destructive metal monstrosity Into The Pit
(2007 Retroactive). With Lex Metalis, the band pays tribute to their
metal heroes, putting their neck snapping, heart-of-metal stamp on some
of the most cherished metal anthems! As always, the band stays true to
their metal convictions, playing each song with power, might and
authentic conviction. Vocalist (and author of NoLifeTilMetal.com) Scott
Waters, shows considerable influence from the likes of David Wayne,
Roger Martinez and Blitz Ellsworth (and Cronos and King Fowley on the
high, gritty - and sometimes slurred parts). The band's DNA is pure
thrash metal and every song has their thrash and speed metal imprint -
even the 80's melodic metal tracks! In addition, the eight page booklet
contains detailed liner notes explaining why the band chose these songs
for this classic release that is destined to appeal to old and new
fans!
This 10th Anniversary Ultimate Edition includes a 16 page expansive
booklet, new liner notes from band members Robert Gutierrez and Scott
Waters, a new collage of photos, alternate cover photos, and two new
bonus tracks that fans have been requesting for YEARS (Testament and
Vengeance Rising), as well as song by song synapses by the entire band!

UNDERCOVER - BRANDED (25TH ANN. EDITION)
Originally release
in 1986, few records contain the level of emotional resonance or impact
that Undercover's "Branded" did. After the entrance of new vocalist Sim
Wilson, the band stepped up their game several notches. Having already
begun to shed the earlier pop-punk sounds of their first two albums,
the band's fourth studio release showed immense growth and maturity as
they shifted toward a layered rock sound, incorporating hard rock, new
wave, heavier punk rock, and even gentle pop flourishes. The lyrics
became more mature as well, touching on subjects like depression,
battling temptation, rejection of God, and even a song about the
crucifixion of Christ from the perspective of Pontius Pilate. All in
all, perhaps one of the greatest rock albums of the 1980's. Reissued
and remastered by Intense Millenium Records in 2011.

VARIOUS - INDUSTRIAL EVOLUTION
At Retroactive
Records, we are in love with the 90's industrial-metal of bands like
Circle of Dust, Brainchild, Klank, Chatterbox, Ministry, and Nine Inch
Nails. When we came across the Bumpus Hounds demo, we could hardly
contain ourselves. How had this industrial-metal treasure stayed so
obscure that none of us had even heard of it? How could music this good
have flown completely under our radars for almost 30 years? And, lastly
- how could we correct this grave injustice? We found Eric Shirey on
Facebook, and found out that there was more than just the infamous
Bumpus Hounds - the band went on to produce Primary Censor, Abstain,
and Coarse. We scrubbed planet earth and the next six galaxies to find
digital and physical copies of the music that ended up on this 2-CD Set
called INDUSTRIAL EVOLUTION. One band evolved into another band, that
evolved into another, etc. Read on to learn the complete story.
The Bumpus Hounds was a collaboration between Eric Shirey and Neil
"Oatmeal" Thompson from Houston, TX-based death metal band Red Ink.
Eric wrote most of the lyrics and provided vocals. Neil wrote and
programmed the music and some lyrics. "The Pit Dug for the Wicked" was
recorded on a Tascam 4-Track Recorder in the Austin, TX apartment of
Noise Priest singer Stephen Wagers (aka Stig Stench) in 1992. Wally
Shaw of Deitiphobia and Massivivid produced the EP. He also gave the
duo a song he wrote for his side project, Icon Tack, to round out the
recording. Shaw did a cameo as his rap persona, MC White E, on the
track "Temple." Stephen also did guest vocals on the same song. Eric
eeked out his vocals and Neil tracked all the guitars and bass in one
weekend. The EP was originally distributed on cassette through mail
order and only on blank tapes handmade by Eric or Neil.
"Thrown Away (X-Propagation Mix)" was a reworking of the song off The
Bumpus Hounds' EP. Originally put together as a sort of template of
where Eric Shirey wanted to go musically with his next project, all the
programming and keyboards were arranged by Brent Stackhouse of
Deitiphobia and X-Propagation based on the original music Neil wrote.
It was recorded and produced by Stackhouse in his home studio. There
was interest from Michael Knott for his label Blonde Vinyl, but it went
under shortly after this was recorded in 1993. Eric wrote a new verse
for the song to give it a more positive conclusion at Brent's
suggestion. This CD is the first time the song has ever been released
to the public.
Primary Censor was an award-winning Austin, TX industrial metal band
formed by Eric Shirey shortly after the project with Brent Stackhouse
fell through. It was made up of drummer Stuart Lillard, guitarist Matt
Wright, keyboard programmer and bassist Chris Spoonts, keyboardist
Brett Landis, and second drummer Jay No. The band was heavily tied into
the burdgeoning Texas Industrial music scene in Austin, which was
growing at the time because Al Jourgensen and Ministry had just moved
into town.
Primary Censor's "Self-Titled" demo is the earliest recordings of the
band. It was laid down on a Tascam 4-Track Recorder in one day at
Drummer Stuart Lillard's church in Austin, TX.
"Festering Wound" was Primary Censor's first real recordings. They were
laid down in the home studio of bassist, keyboard programmer, and
engineer Chris Spoonts. He had a Pro Tools set up and soundproofed
rooms he named Rotate Sound Productions. The results were four tracks
that were definitely more guitar-heavy than the band would end up
being. Drum sounds and some different samples were taken from the sound
library of Auschwitz 46's keyboardist, Jason Janssen. The group's next
demo, now known as "Orphic," was really never officially titled. It was
recorded at Music Lab, where ex-drummer of SKREW Mark Dufour was an
engineer. Dufour took the controls and drums and extra programming were
provided by Jim Vollentine, who was the keyboardist for SKREW. What was
crafted this time around was a much more even and dynamic blend of
metal guitars and the pulsing electro sounds of darkwave and cyberpunk
outfits of the time.
The last three Primary Censor songs which are presented here for the
first time on CD were shopped to R.E.X. Music, who showed interest in
the band. Unfortunately, nothing ever transpired. The band broke up
shortly after the demos were submitted in 1993.
Fast-forward a few years to about 1996 and Eric Shirey and Matt Wright
come out of their self-imposed musical exiles to work on two different
solo projects. Flaming Fish Records came knocking looking for some new
music for their compilation, Full Frontal Lobotomy. Both Eric Shirey
and Matt Wright were asked to contribute songs.
Eric began work on a track entitled, "Quiet," under the moniker Coarse.
Musically, it was a bit more pop-structured. However, it still had an
edge thanks to heavy chugging guitar riffs. The keyboards were slightly
brighter in sound, thanks to the handiwork of Richie Laxton. Laxton
created dance pop more at home with the likes of Erasure or A-ha.
Although all the basic music was written by Shirey, Matt Wright was
called in to lay down guitar for the recording and Laxton provided all
the electronics and drums. Lyrics were written by Shirey and
concentrated on his cry for help to God. The song was recorded at
Richie's studio, Snooty Fox Productions in Austin, TX.
Meanwhile, Matt Wright was working on his own solo project he called
Abstain. Abstain was similar in style to Primary Censor and was
recorded at his home studio. It's no surprise that the finished songs
for Abstain had the same tone as his previous band, since he really
provided the trademark "sound" they were known for. Wright began
carving out five tracks for an EP and gave one to Flaming Fish for the
Full Frontal Lobotomy compilation. Lyrically, his Christian faith was
reflected quite heavily. The other demo tracks are being released for
the first time to the public on "Industrial Evolution." They're much
more experimental and electronic-based, with no lyrics or guitar.
Why is this collection of songs from this certain group of artists
entitled "Industrial Evolution?" Well, Eric looks at the project as a
journey from an angry youth ranting about social and mental issues to
an older and wiser young adult who was not only using music as a way to
vent, but hopefully to provide answers to someone's problems. Looking
back after 20+ years, the music still stands on its own and will no
doubt thrill fans of industrial and metal both old and new. Most of the
material is still relevant next to what is being released today by
artists like Klank, Circle of Dust, Ministry, and the likes.
All this to say that hopefully Industrial Evolution will finally make
it into the hands of those who always wanted copies of The Bumpus
Hounds, Primary Censor, Coarse, or Abstain's music. Sonically, it was
all taken off of cassettes which, many times, were over 20 years old
and found in the collection of friends who had it stashed away
somewhere. None of the members (except Neil Thompson and Chris Spoonts)
even had copies of the masters. Hopefully, you can hear through all the
aging defects and enjoy the experience.

VENGEANCE RISING - DESTRUCTION COMES
Originally release
in 1991. After the dissolution of the original Vengeance Rising
line-up, some thought that the Vengeance Rising name would quickly die
and become nothing but a footnote in the history of Christian Metal.
Those people would find themselves wrong, however, when front-man Roger
Martinez soldiered on with a new record, new sound, and new touring
band. Destruction Comes was a record long on hyper-fast, intense
riffing and short on subtlety. Roger laid it all on the table, blasting
his way through 10 tracks of intense thrash that bordered on death
metal, with nary a respite moment throughout. Where the previous
records were laced with melody and technical prowess, Destruction Comes
was all about speed and intensity and the album took no prisoners.
Completely remastered by Intense Millenium Records, this CD also
includes the music video for "Before the Time."

WHITE HEART - HOTLINE
When White Heart hit
the scene in 1982, they took their cues from Petra, DeGarmo & Key,
Toto, Reo Speedwagon, Chicago, Foreigner, Night Ranger, and Bon Jovi
(on Hotline) for three albums. The 1982 self-titled debut + Vital Signs
+ Hotline all feature elite AOR / commercial rock music with hooks
still etched firmly into our brains many decades later! Those three
albums feature countless hit singles, dominated radio airplay, set
record sales in the CCM market, and made White Heart a household name
in Christian homes across the world. Each CD reissue is remastered by
Bombworks Sound and features exclusive band photos culled from the Home
Sweet Home vaults specifically for these reissues. Using the original
source tapes we took great pains to make sure these audio remasters are
absolutely perfect with bonus tracks and 12-16 page lyric inserts.
Along with the foil-stamped White Heart trading cards that come with
each release, these are truly the ultimate AOR reissues in both sight
and sound!

WHITECROSS - UNVEILED
Whitecross is a
Christian Metal band formed and founded by guitar virtuoso Rex Carroll
(Fierceheart) in 1985 in Waukegan, IL. He joined forces with Scott
Wenzel on vocals and they released their debut self-titled CD
"Whitecross" on Pure Metal in 1987. Songs like Enough is Enough, Who
Will You Follow, and the popular guitar solo, Nagasake (misspelled by
the label) would bring life to the fast growing scene of Christian Rock
and Christian Heavy Metal. Their early albums are laced with Carroll's
signature neo-classical style shredding and fast, ripping technical
guitar work.

WHITECROSS & GUARDIAN - THE GREAT WHITECROSS & GUARDIAN REVIVAL
Whether you call it
white metal or Christian rock, the names WHITECROSS and GUARDIAN are
well known among fans of those circles, having sold about a million
records and completed many worldwide tours between the bands in their
heyday. While both groups reached their zenith in the '90s, 2017
brought about a revival of sorts as core members of both bands have
formed a new lineup that will record and tour on some of the classic
songs from each band.
The energized lineup of GUARDIAN + WHITECROSS entered the studio with
Rex Carroll at the production helm to record seven tracks for the album
titled "Revival", which features new recordings of WHITECROSS and
GUARDIAN classics, as well as a few surprises including a Jimi Hendrix
cover song.
For clarity, Jamie Rowe adds, "Neither the classic lineups of GUARDIAN
or WHITECROSS have officially broken up. We're just having fun with
this unique pairing. GUARDIAN + WHITECROSS is its own thing. Don't miss
it!"
Only 300 red vinyl records were pressed, and only 1000 CDs were
manufactured. This is a one-time pressing - with no more units ever to
be made. Get them while you can before they are commanding collector
prices! Seven tracks and 34 minutes of high octane metal that's not to
be missed!
TRACKLISTING:
01. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
02. THE RAIN
03. NEVER SAY GOODBYE
04. TOP OF THE WORLD

WHITERAY - THE COLLECTED WORKS
In the mid 80's to
early 90's, Whiteray was an integral part of the hard music scene of
Kentucky along with fellow home-staters, Bride! From 1988-1991 the band
released four critically acclaimed demos of high quality, elite melodic
hard rock and metal. Collectors have been paying over $200 each for
those demos if lucky enough to find them. Whiteray was dedicated to the
hard rock scene laid down by Bride, Cinderella, Warrant, Motley Crue,
and Guns-N-Roses which means big everything....big hooks, big melodies,
big riffs, and of course, BIG HAIR! Whiteray was a significant step
above other hard rock bands in terms of talent and execution. Fans also
loved the fact that in spite of being demo tracks, Whiteray demos are
clear, and professional sounding which allows the original magic of
those heard rock anthems to shine brightly. The band would later
regroup and release an album on R.E.X. Records under the moniker of
Killed By Cain (another killer aggressive groove metal release,
produced by Dale Thompson of Bride). Until now, the band's legendary
demos have been impossible to find. The 2019 Retroactive Records 2-CD
reissue features all four demos remastered by Rob Colwell of Bombworks
Sound, packaged in a jewel case with an eight page booklet, band
photos, and an amazing interview from 1989 featured in Pendragon
Magazine! Limited to just 500 CDs.

WORLD AGAINST WORLD - UNTIL THE DAY BREAKS
The only release
from this band (formerly known as Spud Gun) is both musically and
lyrically apocalyptic. Even the artwork will scare your mom half to
death. But they no longer have the dirty punk-rock sound, rather think
hardcore ala Scattered Few and The Crucified. The atmosphere is a
combination of fuzz heavy bass, guitars in the vein of early Corrosion
Of Conformity, and Jason K's plaintive vocals wailing. BulletProof
Records released it in 1998 By far it is the scariest and the heaviest
thing they ever released. Imagine mutually assured destruction happens
ending in nuclear winter...forever. Not for those who doubt that God
will judge mankind when He brings this corrupt world order to an end.
On a scale of 1 to 100 this one vaporizes the geiger counter. Scripture
references are provided in the booklet to back it up.
TRACKLISTING:
01. DISRUPTED DARKNESS AND SCATTERED SPIRITS
02. OUR NATION OF THOUGHTLESSNESS CELEBRATES IMMORALITY, WHILE SEEKING INDEPENDENCE
03. THE HOPE OF THE WICKED HAS BECOME DESPAIR

WORLD WILL BURN, THE - RUINATION
The second release
by the infinitely heavy The World Will Burn features iconic metal hero
Dale Thompson (BRIDE vocalist) at his best here!. Dale has long been
one of the best metal/rock voices (and lyricists) in Christian music,
and his work on The World Will Burn's second album (Severity was the
debut) will strike you as complex in presentation and ultra creative in
delivery. The band ranges from hard hitting to light and soothing,
laced with an edge of promise (and consistent delivery) of bursting
into flames and render all around them to ashes! Musical genius Alan
Zaring supplies all of the music for the album and repeatedly grabs you
by the face, and shows you what modern metal should be! Zaring handles
the music perfectly here, with the style ranging from crunchy metal,
experimental alternative, and always brutal, relentless riffs! The
musical style matches perfectly with Thompson's vocals, resulting in
the duo delivering a hard, stylized, metal album with something to say.
If you like your metal thick, rich, and with depth then look no further
cuz you got it with The World Will Burn!

ZAFFIRO, DAVID - SURRENDER ABSOLUTE
Some things really
take us by surprise. We just don't see them coming. We don't expect
what our eyes actually see, and it makes the experience absolutely
mesmerizing - like the moment in Terminator 2 when you realize Arnold
Scharzenegger is a Terminator, but the GOOD GUY! Or, the moment when
your loved one says, "Go ahead honey - buy them all - we can never have
too much music!" Or, the fiery moment the next morning when you
remember you ate some hot peppers the night before - uh - well, maybe
not that so much, but you get the point! Tantalizing surprises are the
spice of life, and boy oh boy does Bloodgood guitarist David Zaffiro
give us four elite reasons to be dazzled and delighted with his solo
albums. Known for his renown axemanship with the iconic Christian metal
band, Bloodgood, Zaffiro treated fans to four of the finest AOR / Hard
Rock albums ever released in the Christian rock scene. Indeed, these
albums are far from the metallic juggernauts he played on with
Bloodgood (their first three albums). But each of these four albums is
essential ear candy for even the most discriminating rock music
connoisseur. One listen and you realize the padlocks were cut loose
from this master guitarist's hands and you have been magically ushered
into glorious riffing with feeling, with intensity, with skill and
precision. The lyrics are filled with hope, conviction, and
transparency - including life lessons and insights free of lectures or
preachyness. And, the instrumental tracks remind us of three important
words: WOW WOW WOW. Great words, right? The instrumental tracks show
Zaffiro with all the skill and talent of Joe Satriani and Steve Vai.
Yes, it's that good! That brings us to the most tantalizing surprise of
all - Zaffiro's vocals! With one of rock and metal's finest vocalists
in Les Carlsen leading Bloodgood, we could have never guessed there was
a world-class vocalist hiding in Zaffiro's slight frame - but it's
absolutely perfect for AOR, rock, and hard rock. These four Zaffiro CD
reissues are international treasures with the finest of musicians
filling them out from top to bottom. All have been digitally remastered
and include eight-page inserts with lyrics packaged in jewel cases. If
you slept on these classics in the past, now is the time to make things
right - these are top-shelf reissues for collectors who care about
quality of packaging and sound. Get all four CD remasters now!
