    Of the several tapes I had in front of me, I chose this one first. It was the "produced in the garage" look that got me. The sound is almost punk, but not quite; definitely alternative - let's say "unique". The production is in desperate need of salvation. My "produced in the garage" observation seemed to be a righteous judgement. The lyrics are forward and creative and have a redeeming quality. This is not for you headbanger, no lead guitar and no crunch. Let me give a word of encouragement here: Has anyone ever heard Petra's first album? If you have, you know it's by God's grace they put out a second album. Look where they are now, so keep at it guys. For ordering info, write: PO Box 371, Miamisburg OH 45342.

    Heaven's Metal #25Reviewed by Doug Van PeltHere's some droning hard rock with poor production a la garage variety. The style is straight-ahead rock with evangelistic lyrics that look at the inconsistencies and hypocrisy of nonbelievers. To order, send $6 to: St. Luther Records, PO Box 371, Miamisburg OH 45342.
