💿 PETRA – HOPE

Boone’s Overstock Opaque Orange – 250 Hand-Numbered Webstore Exclusive

Few bands in Christian rock history carry the weight, legacy, and influence of Petra. For over five decades, Petra helped build the foundation of faith-driven rock music—earning Grammy Awards, Dove Awards, worldwide tours, and millions of albums sold. More than success, they shaped a movement.

Now, more than twenty years after their last studio release, Petra returns with HOPE — a brand-new collection of 10 original songs that proves their fire has not faded.

This is not a nostalgia project.
This is not leftover material.
HOPE is intentional, focused, and fully alive.

Driven by founding guitarist Bob Hartman, whose signature riffs and songwriting instincts remain razor sharp, the album delivers the unmistakable Petra sound fans have loved for decades. John Schlitt sounds as powerful and commanding as ever—his voice seasoned, confident, and deeply expressive. They’re joined by longtime keyboard master John Lawry, bassist Greg Bailey, and drummer Cristian Bornero—bringing precision, depth, and classic rock authority to every track.

The result?
Classic Petra energy with seasoned conviction.

There’s urgency here. There’s melodic strength. There’s lyrical depth born from experience. These songs feel lived-in — shaped by faith, perseverance, and decades of walking the road.

HOPE doesn’t chase trends. It doesn’t try to reinvent Petra. It reaffirms who they are.

For lifelong fans, this album feels like a long-awaited promise fulfilled. For new listeners, it’s proof that meaningful, faith-centered rock music still carries power — and purpose.

In a world that often feels uncertain, the message at the heart of this album remains steady:

There is still HOPE.
