Trytan
Celestial Messenger
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
Celestial Messenger has finally been released to an unsuspecting world. I'm real excited that this has finally been released. Regency Records, out of Burbank, California is distributing it. Their warehouse has already sold out of cassettes. More are being pressed right now. You, the readers of Heaven's Metal, and I have had a unique opportunity to view Lary Dean's attitude about his ministry from his small-time status to this big-time record deal. We could see his contentedness with being where he was and also being very active for the Lord where he was and not sitting around dreaming of the big time. He kept busy ministering in two bands and just showed godly patience toward the future. I believe that, during this time, we got to see that Lary's heart really is humble before the Lord. All the blessings and hype that he may receive in the near future, man it couldn't go to a kinder person. This album should open up doors for this ministry to knock down some doors and gates of hell. It has some of the songs that were on the demo plus a new song called "It's War." This song starts out with some cool synthesizer and then later kicks in with a crunch/distorted rhythm. It's a killer song, like all the other Trytan tunes. It has a fresh sound that's big and full. There's some fast and prolific riffs in this song with notes hit in rapid succession and mangled under the strong arm of the vibrato bar. If it's not in your local record store, order it from Spring Arbor. Spring Arbor is a distributor that almost every Christian bookstore uses.
