The classic Queensryche sound still present, but with all the hooks and signature sounds that elevated the band to elite status in both the Christian and mainstream music worlds.  For fans of Queensryche, Master Plan, and Iron maiden.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"youtube-embed\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"youtube-embed\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"youtube-embed\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"youtube-embed\"\u003e1 Desperately Wicked 5:25\u003cbr\u003e2 Waiting In Darkness 5:54\u003cbr\u003e3 Sinking Sand 3:15\u003cbr\u003e4 In Dust And Ashes 4:03\u003cbr\u003e5 Fallen Hero 4:48\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"youtube-embed\"\u003e6 Fear Me 4:31\u003cbr\u003e7 Long Live The King 4:27\u003cbr\u003e8 Jealous Love 4:24\u003cbr\u003e9 Living Sacrifice 4:00\u003cbr\u003e10 Day Of The Lord 3:45\u003cbr\u003e11 Temples On Fire 3:45\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCUSTOMER REVIEW\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFans have been waiting a long time for Sacred Warrior's 5th studio album and now it is finally here and the wait was worth it! The biggest disappointment is that Ray Parra is not on this album as he and the band parted ways, however, the new vocalist Eli Prinsen fits Sacred Warrior very well. Prinsen is not a Parra sound-alike but he can hit all the high notes and is capable of all the same soaring power metal attack that Parra could give. The style is also surprisingly heavy for Sacred Warrior, who thankfully have not opted for a \"modern rock\" or nu-metal (alternative metal) sound that so many older bands have tried to attempt. No, this is the same progressive-tinged power metal style that Sacred Warrior is known for, and yet they're not trapped in the late 80's early 90's. This is a progression to the next level but true to their pedigree of power metal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTherefore you can be rest assured that Tony's drum work is powerful, fast, and complex and that Bruce Swift still delivers the goods in heavy guitar riffs and blistering lead-work. Bruce seems to be hitting shred territory on a few of his solos. The band is also still committed to singing about God's word(which I am happy about). There are too few Christian metal bands that are this good anymore; (and in this style of metal). However even non-Christians should dig this as there is nothing overtly preachy about the lyrics, this is just great metal! Production quality is strong and certainly the best and loudest yet for Sacred Warrior. They even redo a couple of older tracks at the end of the album 'Day of the Lord' from the 1st album and 'Temples on Fire' from their 4th (Obsession). In closing, if you like good power metal in the style of early Queensryche, later Judas Priest, or Impelliterri than I highly recommend this awesome new addition to the Sacred Warrior discography. This album may very well put them on the map in today's metal scene!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"style3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e“Desperately Wicked” (5:25), “Waiting In Darkness” (5:54), “Sinking Sand” (3:15), “In Dust And Ashes” (4:02), “Fallen Hero” (4:47), “Fear Me” (4:30), “Long Live The King” (4:26), “Jealous Love” (4:24), “Living Sacrifice” (4:00), “Day Of The Lord” (3:45), “Temples On Fire” (3:44)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"style3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusicians\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEli Prinsen - Lead Vocals\u003cbr\u003eBruce Swift - Guitars\u003cbr\u003eJoe Petit - Keyboards\u003cbr\u003eSteve Watkins - Bass\u003cbr\u003eTony Velazquez - Drums\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boone's Overstock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12103002423340,"sku":"","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2657\/0558\/products\/Waitin_in_Darkness_0001.jpg?v=1543217542"},{"product_id":"sacred-warrior-live-at-cornerstone-2001-new-cd-2001-m8-christian-metal","title":"SACRED WARRIOR - LIVE AT CORNERSTONE 2001 (*NEW-CD, 2001, M8) Christian Metal!!!","description":"\u003cp\u003eSACRED WARRIOR - LIVE AT CORNERSTONE 2001 (*NEW-CD, 2001, M8) Christian Metal!!!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist\u003cbr\u003e1 Intro 1:10\u003cbr\u003e2 Children Of The Light 2:57\u003cbr\u003e3 Remember Me 4:37\u003cbr\u003e4 Rebellion 6:26\u003cbr\u003e5 Holy Holy Holy 4:18\u003cbr\u003e6 Little Secrets 2:34\u003cbr\u003e7 Wicked Generation 2:10\u003cbr\u003e8 Heavens Are Calling 3:26\u003cbr\u003e9 Come On 2:15\u003cbr\u003e10 Day By Day 5:19\u003cbr\u003e11 Prince Of Peace 3:43\u003cbr\u003e12 Temples On Fire 4:32\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boone's Overstock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12106851647532,"sku":"","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2657\/0558\/products\/SW_C-stone_0001.jpg?v=1538443812"},{"product_id":"sacred-warrior-rapture-5-cd-bundle","title":"SACRED WARRIOR + RAPTURE 4 Albums \/ 5-CD BUNDLE (2019, Retroactive Records)","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSACRED WARRIOR + RAPTURE 4 Albums \/ 5-CD BUNDLE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGet all 4 albums for one price!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSACRED WARRIOR - REBELLION (Metal Icon Series)\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e (CD, 2019, Retroactive)\u003cbr\u003e       Remastered by Rob Colwell at Bombworks Sound, original tracks, 16 page booklet,                  \u003cbr\u003e       jewel case, special pics and write ups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003col start=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSACRED WARRIOR - WICKED GENERATION (Metal Icon Series)\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e (CD, 2019, Retroactive)\u003cbr\u003e       Remastered by J.

To quote Jonathan “Doc” Swank from the Heaven’s Metal Top 100 Christian Metal Albums Of All-Time list – where Obsessions ranked #7 “Christendom’s best power metal band ever hit their high-water mark with this collection of songs which perfectly blended Queensrÿche, Iron Maiden and their unique and inspiring take on the scene.” One of the greatest aspects of this album remains just how real and visceral are the music and the words conveyed through this metal. The over-arching thread was the faithfulness of God – that no matter how bad life gets with addictions (“Obsessions”), no matter what death steals from us in this world (“Sweet Memories”), no matter how far we stray in our faith (“No Turning Back”), no matter how much the world’s ways seem wise to us (“Kamikaze”), no matter how isolated we feel from God because of our sins (“Remember Me”) – that God is faithful, and God is there for us (“Fire From Heaven”). And while evil roams this earth constantly looking for prey (“Mad Man”) the hope and faith we have in Christ sets us free (“Temples On Fire”). What a dynamic album that breaks it all down in such a simple and human way. This progressive metal soundtrack to these eternal observations is both exceptionally executed and timelessly relevant. Undisputedly, one of the finest moments in Christian metal history, Obsessions has been gloriously remastered and while many fans might not believe much else could be added to this album to make it better from an audio standpoint, J Powell at Steinhaus has managed to add a sonic crispness and punch that makes the walls reverberate. Most importantly, the “bright” quality of the music is liberated. These metallic anthems have retained their power and relevance for nearly 30 years – a testament to the legacy of Sacred Warrior – and now they sound wonderfully fresh and revitalized in 2019!

That top spot from the top year belongs to Rebellion by Sacred Warrior. This is a no-brainer #1 for those who lived in 1988, and purchased the release of Rebellion. Sinister guitar-shred fests like “Children of the Light” and “Day of the Lord” are embedded in the hearts and souls of fans to this day. The infectious lyrics and progressive melodies from epic tracks like “Black Metal” and “Stay Away From Evil” contain pure magic conjured by a band every bit as good as Queensryche, Iron Maiden, and Crimson Glory (yes, indeed!). In fact, with the release of Rebellion, fans would have the first installment of four albums spanning from 1988-1991 that would re-define the standard of heavy metal greatness. It is near impossible to find four consecutive albums more powerful, more magnetic, and more impactful than Sacred Warrior’s. And, while the band would go on to grow and mature lyrically and musically, for many fans the debut release of Rebellion will always be the favorite. Rebellion showcases 12 melodic metal anthems that rock the world, and are essential companions on life’s journey. The 2019 Retroactive Records CD reissue is the first 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 Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound.

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.

Until now, it was one of the Music God's greatest injustice. Sacred Warrior’s fourth release \u003cem\u003eObsessions\u003c\/em\u003e (1991) was the culmination of four great years of work. To quote Jonathan “Doc” Swank from the \u003cem\u003eHeaven’s Metal\u003c\/em\u003e Top 100 Christian Metal Albums Of All-Time list – where \u003cem\u003eObsessions\u003c\/em\u003e ranked #7 “Christendom’s best power metal band ever hit their high-water mark with this collection of songs which perfectly blended Queensrÿche, Iron Maiden and their unique and inspiring take on the scene.” One of the greatest aspects of this album remains just how real and visceral are the music and the words conveyed through this metal. The over-arching thread was the faithfulness of God – that no matter how bad life gets with addictions (“Obsessions”), no matter what death steals from us in this world (“Sweet Memories”), no matter how far we stray in our faith (“No Turning Back”), no matter how much the world’s ways seem wise to us (“Kamikaze”), no matter how isolated we feel from God because of our sins (“Remember Me”) – that God is faithful, and God is there for us (“Fire From Heaven”). And while evil roams this earth constantly looking for prey (“Mad Man”) the hope and faith we have in Christ sets us free (“Temples On Fire”). What a dynamic album that breaks it all down in such a simple and human way. This progressive metal soundtrack to these eternal observations is both exceptionally executed and timelessly relevant. Undisputedly, one of the finest moments in Christian metal history, Obsessions has been gloriously remastered and while many fans might not believe much else could be added to this album to make it better from an audio standpoint, Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound has managed to add a sonic crispness and punch that makes the walls reverberate. Most importantly, the “bright” quality of the music is liberated on vinyl. These metallic anthems have retained their power and relevance for nearly 30 years – a testament to the legacy of Sacred Warrior – and now they sound wonderfully fresh and revitalized in 2019!

Perhaps it is the high-end, soaring and at times operatic lead vocals not unlike those of revered Queensrÿche 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.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1989'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.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFew albums could legitimately be the greatest Christian metal album of all-time.  \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaster's Command\u003c\/em\u003e 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.
