(The song) “Hole In Your Heart” is another notable winner. I cannot help but think this is the finest soloing I have heard from the artist. The lyrics are bold and upfront as well.

ABOUT THE ALBUM
Redeemer - Anno Domini
The Definitive Metal Icon Reissue
Originally released in 2007 as a limited-run CD-R of only 250 units on Watergrave Records, Redeemer's Anno Domini has remained an elusive gem for fans of melodic hard rock and heavy metal. Now, Retroactive Records proudly presents this Metal Icon Series reissue—professionally manufactured for the first time and remastered by the renowned Rob Colwell. Featuring a jewel case with a stunning 6-page, full-color lyrics insert, this limited-edition release of just 300 copies is an essential collector's item for any fan of 80s-inspired Christian metal.
All tracks on Anno Domini were written between 1987 and 1989, capturing the raw energy and creativity of Redeemer’s formative years. Recorded in 2007 at Twin Blades Studio in Las Vegas, NV, this album revitalizes material from Redeemer’s long-lost demo along with additional tracks that have been reimagined for a modern audience. Under the leadership of guitarist and vocalist Bill Menchen—known for his iconic work with Final Axe, Titanic, Rev Seven, and The Seventh Power—Redeemer delivers an unforgettable blend of heavy riffs, soaring solos, and faith-filled lyrics.
The album showcases a range of standout tracks, from the juggernaut metal anthems “Contend for the Faith” and “King of Glory” to the melodic worshipful “The Lord Lives” and the blues-infused “Hole in Your Heart.” Menchen’s passion and guitar mastery are evident throughout, with impassioned soloing and knife-edge riffs that fans of classic 80s metal will love. The Christ-centered lyrics are bold and uncompromising, delivered with Menchen's smooth, mid-octave vocal style.
Whether you’re a long-time follower of Bill Menchen’s career or discovering Redeemer for the first time, Anno Domini is a must-have piece of Christian metal history—an album that brings together the timeless power of 80s metal with the unmatched passion and vision of one of the genre’s finest artists.
