This disc will make a hearty alternative with positive lyrics for those tired of all that talk about sex, drugs, and rock and roll by the artists that started the worldly side of rock culture.

Is at least one of the band members wearing spandex in the band photo? CHECK! And yes, this IS quality metal.Dead Zine 2000Reviewed by D_ListerFrom the Pacific Northwest, Washington state to be exact, comes a hard rock band that fills a void that I personally feel has been left empty for quite some time. I've always been a fan of stripped down hard rockin' bands like Bad Company, and Foreigner, and others along those lines but felt Christian bands who attempted this style usually got a little too 'Hymn' like in their approach.
