Kingdom Come - Releases

2011-06-22T02:38:00.000-07:00

Kingdom Come is a hard rock band fronted by Hamburg-born vocalist Lenny Wolf. The group's first album, Kingdom Come was that band's only international hit. It currently consists of an entirely German line-up. The musical style on Kingdom Come's debut album was very close to the early blues-rock style of English rock band Led Zeppelin, to the point that some listeners initially thought that Kingdom Come was actually a Led Zeppelin reunion. With a sound that was thought by many to be highly derivative of Led Zeppelin's, there was a backlash from critics, with the band being dubbed "Kingdom Clone" in the press.

Dark Millennium - Releases

2011-05-15T14:09:00.001-07:00

Dark Millennium is a German Doom/Death Metal band that was active in the early nineties. They made two demos and two albums. Each release is special and has it's own sound. "Ashore The Celestial Burden" consists of songs from the demo "Of Sceptre Their Ashes May Be" in addition of some new songs. The whole set may sound bland and too polished (compared to Of Sceptre), however it offers a special ambiance all throughout it. Hilton Theissen and Michael Burmann did some excellent work on songs like "Beyond the Dragon's Eye," "Father Legatus," and "Medina's Spell" which are really unique in the overall doom/death sound, i.e. the songs sound very light, weak and not that heavy, but yet it seems to work, after some time you begin to feel the dark atmosphere of this great overlooked album. The major disappointment in Ashore The Celestial Burden comes from the vocals... oh how it could have been better if they were appropriate Death Metal growls!! Taking in consideration that the lyrics aren't the boring gory kind at all but more about personal/epic and fictional stories, it enhances that feeling that it could be better. The production of this album is debatable too, it isn't that bad but it's nothing mind blowing at all. Clean and distorted guitars could have been better. For most of those who heard Of Sceptre Their Ashes May Be this album will really sound strange compared to Dark Millennium's masterpiece (that demo indeed).

Jerusalem - Releases

2011-05-08T09:57:00.001-07:00

Jerusalem is a Swedish Christian rock band, founded in 1975 by Ulf Christiansson. It was one of the first bands to combine Christian lyrics with a hard rock sound. Jerusalem's message was primarily aimed at youth, with their lyrics describing the band's relationship to God in an ordinary, but radical way. The band's purpose was expressly evangelistic. Their concerts have been described as a series of revival meetings which often included altar calls and occasionally exorcisms. When the band first toured in the mid-1970s in Sweden, their combination of Christian lyrics with a hard rock sound was very controversial. The band was only permitted to perform at a few churches. Over time, Jerusalem gained broader acceptance, and after three years of touring record companies began making offers to record the band.

Deuteronomium - Releases

2011-03-14T14:52:00.000-07:00

Deuteronomium is a Christian death metal band formed in 1993, Jyväskylä, Finland. Deuteronomium had a notable role in creating the Finnish Christian metal scene as they were one of the earliest and most influential groups pioneering in that genre. Deuteronomium are together with Immortal Souls the only remaining bands of the first wave of Finnish Christian extreme metal that are currently active. Their first EP Tribal Eagle is, according to Ristillinen magazine, the first Finnish Christian metal CD. Tribal Eagle and debut album Street Corner Queen are also noted as pieces of Christian metal history. Bassist Manu Lehtinen and guitarist/vocalist Miika Partala - also known for the bands Stoner Kings, Icon Clan, No Man's Band and Feiled, established the record label Little Rose Productions that would remarkably help developing the Finnish Christian metal scene by importing Christian metal albums to Finland and signing bands such as Immortal Souls. During the peak of their career before the band split up for six years in 2001, Deuteronomium became an internationally known group: at one point they headlined foreign festivals such as Seaside festival in Norway with Narnia and Newsboys as support acts. It is also notable that Deuteronomium was previously sponsored by Dr Pepper. Deuteronomium began influencing later bands such as the Ukrainian folk metallers Holy Blood. In June 2006 the band played a comeback concert as the headliner at the biggest non-alcoholic Mid Summer festival in Finland, OHM-Fest. Deuteronomium shot a DVD titled Spelled Alive of the comeback concert. In December 2006 the band officially reformed and soon headlined the biggest Christian metal festival in Finland, Immortal Metal Fest. The band themselves dub their style as death 'n' roll – a bizarre combination of death metal, black metal, classic rock, punk rock, jazz and funk metal. Deuteronomium became known for their unusual song material on the albums Street Corner Queen and Here to Stay. Deuteronomium toured regularly and eventually many knew the band in the metal scene. Their reputation became so extraordinary that nowadays some cite Deuteronomium as a 'metal legend'. Some of the best known Deuteronomium songs are "Spell of Hell", "Northern Praise" and "Crosshope". In August 2008, the band released its third album titled From the Midst of the Battle, which on August 20, peaked at number 11 on the Official Finnish Top 40 Album Chart.

Woods of Ypres - Releases

2011-03-14T01:44:00.000-07:00

Woods of Ypres is a blackened doom metal band from Ontario, Canada. Woods of Ypres was formed in 2002 by David Gold, Aaron Palmer and Brian McManus. The trio released the first Woods Of Ypres demo, Against the Seasons: Cold Winter Songs from the Dead Summer Heat, the same year. In 2003, David Gold moved to Toronto to begin working on a full-length album. In 2004 the band's first full length album, Pursuit of the Sun & Allure of the Earth was released on David Gold's record label, Krankenhaus Records. The third Woods of Ypres album Woods III: Deepest Roots & Darkest Blues was released at the end of 2007. Contrasting the two albums, critic Laura Taylor wrote, "While Pursuit of the Sun verged on metallised Pink Floyd, Woods’s latest unearths more of the band’s black and dark metal inspirations". In 2008 the band was featured on the cover of Unrestrained! Magazine. The fourth Woods of Ypres album, Woods IV: The Green Album was released in November 2009. Exclaim! called it "the band's most amorphous and powerful creature so far." All of the band's albums have been released on independent labels. Woods of Ypres were thought to have broken up in 2010 due to front man David Gold's move to Kuwait for financial and occupational reasons. However, that has been negated by words from David himself. Their next album, "Woods 5: You Were The Light", was recorded in August 2010 and will be released in the coming months. Gold has stated that it may be just a digital download and not pressed to CD. In October 2010, it was announced that Woods of Ypres had signed to Earache Records and that all rumors of the band being split up were false.

Brian Phillip Welch (born June 19, 1970), better known as HEAD, is an American musician best known as the former lead guitarist/co-founder of the multiplatinum Nu Metal band Korn, whose trademark style was sporting a constellation of rubber-banded braids in his hair. long with fellow Korn guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer, Welch helped patent Korn's distinctive sound, a mix of sirenlike shards of dissonant guitar that mimicked a turntablist's various effects and rumbling down-tuned riffing that defined the spook metal aesthetic beginning in the mid-'90s. Welch left the band in 2005 after becoming a Christian to focus on life as a father and to pursue his own solo career. Head and Munky ranked at #26 of Guitar World's 100 Greatest Heavy Metal Guitarists of All Time.

DigHayZoose - Releases

2011-01-26T10:27:00.000-08:00

DigHayZoose was a Christian funk/Modern rock band from Kansas City, Missouri. The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music describes them as "One of the first Christian alternative rock bands of the 1990s". Their name, when spoken, is audibly similar to saying "Dig Jesus" in Spanish. The band signed to Brainstorm Artists International in 1991 and produced their first album, StruggleFish, with Terry Scott Taylor. The album was widely described as essentially a clone of the Red Hot Chili Peppers or Janes Addiction. They subsequently toured nationally with bands such as Scaterd Few and played festivals including the Cornerstone Festival. The band found their own groove by their second album, MagentaMantaLoveTree. Magenta was co-produced with Gene Eugene and is considered more emotional than their first. The bands' sound fuses punk rock and freestyle jazz[4] to create their own brand of neo-psychedelic rock, as in the songs "Black-Eyed Pea" and "Secret." They also covered Steve Taylor's "I Want To Be A Clone" for the 1994 tribute I Predict A Clone. In later concerts, Taylor's version came to resemble DigHayZoose's more than his own. DigHayZoose was released from their contract in 1994 and announced their breakup at the Cornerstone festival that year. At the same time Ascension 7: Rocketship to Heaven, their final release, was recorded. Ascension 7 includes guests Dan Michaels of The Choir and Allan Aguirre of Scaterd Few. They began to search for a new record label, and in 1995 added David Coonce (known as "Zoop") as a fifth member.[6] An underproduced demo, which consisted of five songs of modern praise, received what the band later characterized as a "lukewarm reception." When David Andersen left the band in 1996 they reformed under the name Infrared and recorded a demo before disbanding in 1997. In 2005 the band reunited to rerecord their Infrared era material.

HB - Releases

2010-12-12T13:33:00.001-08:00

HB is a Christian symphonic metal band formed in 2002 in Forssa, Finland. After having released a demo in 2002 HB have since released four albums: Uskon puolesta (2003), Enne (2006), Frozen Inside (2008) and Piikki Lihassa (2008). In addition, they have released a single called Turhaa tärinää? (2004). The second album of the band, Enne, spent four weeks on the official Finnish Top 40 peaking at #27. The sound of the album is similar to that of Nightwish and Within Temptation. The divergence between the afore-mentioned bands and HB is primarily that the lyrics, written by Antti Niskala, are written in Finnish and are strongly spiritual. The group has since re-recorded an English version of Enne titled Frozen Inside, which was released on April 23, 2008. The album peaked in its debut at #15 on the Finnish Top 40 remaining in the top 30 the next week, finishing at #25. Their 2008 album Piikki Lihassa, which saw a slight change in their music style, peaked #12 on the Finnish chart on week 47 of that year. Their most recent album, Pääkallonpaikka, was released on September 4, 2010, and it peaked at #5 on Finnish Chart. The original drummer, Samuel Mäki-Kerttula, left the band at the Maata Näkyvissä Festival in November 2007, who was replaced by Markus Malin. Tuomas Mäki-Kerttula left the band at the Maata Näkyvissä Festival in November 2008.

Bastion Works and Rew>>works front cover (2006) The group recorded several songs in Macedonian language for the music production of the national Radio-Television Skopje. They released their debut self-titled album in 1984. Most of the songs on the record, which was released for PGP-RTB from Belgrade are in Serbo-Croat, because it was the most widespreaded language in the former Yugoslav federal market.

Free - Releases

2010-08-15T14:01:00.000-07:00

Free were an English rock band, formed in London in 1968, best known for their 1970 signature song "All Right Now". They disbanded in 1973, and lead singer Paul Rodgers went on to become a frontman of the band Bad Company along with Simon Kirke on drums; lead guitarist Paul Kossoff died from a drug-induced heart failure at the age of 25 in 1976, bassist Andy Fraser formed his own group.. The band was famed for its sensational live shows and nonstop touring. However, early studio albums did not sell very well – until the release of Fire and Water which featured the massive hit "All Right Now". This album brought them to full status as one of the top rock bands of the 1960s–70s. The song helped secure them a place at the huge Isle of Wight Festival 1970 where they played to 600,000 people. By the early 1970s, Free was one of the biggest-selling British blues-rock groups; by the time the band dissolved in 1973, they had achieved an uncanny level of superstar success: selling more than 20 million albums around the world and had played more than 700 arena and festival concerts. "All Right Now," remains a rock staple, and has been entered into ASCAP's "One Million" airplay singles club. Rolling Stone has referred to the band as "British hard rock pioneers". The magazine ranked Rodgers #55 in its list of the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time", While Kossoff was ranked #51 in its list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".

Rob Rock - Releases

2010-06-14T04:29:00.001-07:00

Robert "Rob" Rock is a heavy metal singer and songwriter. He is best known for being the lead singer of the band Impellitteri from 1992 to 2000, and now in 2008. He has also released four albums as a solo artist. Rob Rock started his music career in 1983 when he and Chris Impellitteri joined a cover band called VICE. They released a demo and were together until 1985. In 1986, he joined musicians Tony MacAlpine (guitar), Tommy Aldridge (drums), and Rudy Sarzo (bass) in a project called M.A.R.S. The group released a single album called Project Driver which received much critical praise, but the next year each member went a different way. Rock reunited with friend Chris Impellitteri and recorded the band's first album, an EP, simply called Impellitteri. However, he was also committed to another project called Joshua, so he could not continue with the band at the moment. Rock recorded one album with Joshua, which was characterized by the editor of HM Magazine as being "probably the best melodic metal album in the universe." He also worked on other projects (Dennis Cameron's Angelica, Driver) which gave him knowledge of international musicians that would serve him well later. In the early 1990s, he received a call from Chris Impellitteri to join his band again. He agreed and became the band's lead singer until 2000. Together, Impellitteri released five successful albums. In 2000, Rock decided to pursue his own solo career and parted ways with Impellitteri amicably. That same year, he released his first solo album called Rage of Creation. The album received critical praise and Rock has gone on, releasing three more albums (Eyes of Eternity, Holy Hell, Garden of Chaos). In May 2008 it was announced that Rock reunited once more with Impellitteri. Their new album, Wicked Maiden, was released in April 2009. Rock has also lent his voice to the Randy Rhoads tribute released in 2000 and to countless other projects through his career like Avantasia and Axel Rudi Pell.

Cage - Releases

2010-06-13T18:12:00.000-07:00

Cage is an American heavy metal band from San Diego, California. An album was recorded already in 1995, but it was never released and so their debut came in 1998 with the album "Unveiled", six years after the band was created. Since then the band has released four more albums, all of them got great responses in Europe but less in their homecountry. In 1999 Cage won the rock hard best-unsigned band contest in competition with 600 other bands and were rewarded with the possibility to play at the DYNAMO festival the same year. After a brilliant performance there they were selected to play the prestigious WACKEN Open Air Festival in Germany and the metal dayz Open Air Fes-tival in Switzerland. CAGE was able to hone their live skills in front of huge crowds on a consistent basis by opening for Iron Maiden, Dio, Judas Priest, Dokken, etc. Their album "Darker Than Black” was hailed as an instant classic by many of the metal industry leading magazines and webzines and finished in the #1 position on the HEAVY Soundcheck chart list. Shortly after the release of the album "Hell Destroyer", long-time drummer Mike Nielsen was kicked out of the band, but his replacement was found fast in Norm Leggio and the band now carries on as before.

Amorphis - Releases

2010-06-13T17:52:00.001-07:00

Amorphis is a Finnish metal band started by Jan Rechberger, Tomi Koivusaari, and Esa Holopainen in 1990. Initially, the band was a death metal act, but on later albums they evolved into playing other types of genres, which include metal, progressive metal, and folk metal. They frequently use the Kalevala, the Epic Poem of Finland, as a source for their lyrics. In 1989, Jan Rechberger and Esa Holopainen played in a thrash metal band called Violent Solution, which Tomi Koivusaari had left the previous year to form the death metal band Abhorrence. Violent Solution slowly dissolved and Jan Rechberger and Esa Holopainen put together another death metal band. [clarification needed] In early 1990, Tomi Koivusaari became the vocalist and Oppu Laine became their bassist. During that time, Tomi also performed rhythm guitar, leading to the band dumping all original compositions and starting over again. [why?] Tomi's other band, Abhorrence, split up and he found himself with more time to put into Amorphis. A demo tape, Disment of Soul, was recorded in 1991 by Timo Tolkki at TTT studios.

Finishing a tour hosted again by the Belgrade's radio station "202" and a show at the Belgrade's Republic Square, in 2004., the band begins working on their new release, named "Taida". The band is joined by Radoš Ćulibrk (clean vocals), and the drummer, Djordjo is replaced by Goran Kovačević. Unlike its predecessor, "Taida" presents a much more modern melodic/black sound in their native language, Serbian. After a show at the EXIT festival, in 2006., the band suffers major reconstruction. Uroš Marković, Boris Sumrak and Goran Kovačević leave the band and Radoš Ćulibrk gets expelled. In their place come Dobroslav Slijepčević (keys - also a member of "Apocalypse"), Aleksandar Vučetić (vocals), Andrej Mišić (drums - "Esgaroth", "Nightfall").

Экзорцист / Exorcist - Releases

2010-02-28T09:50:00.001-08:00

Exorcist (Экзорцист) is a Russian Orthodox Christian industrial Gothic Rock. Project “Exorcist” (which means “driving out the Evil One”) states the fact of deception and delusion of the human by the powers of evil, whose aim is to precipitate the soul straight into hell for tarnation. And also the project intends to bring home to the people the historical truth – the destruction of the human’s personality via communist ideology and the Soviet regime, which are, in fact, absolute evil both in common and religious senses. We want to revive the people’s spirit by uniting everybody under a powerful groundwork, that is faith in God, to bring the Christless to spirituality. Due to the vogue of the music style, of the certain life pattern stereotype and whatever, people sometimes just have no notion of the covert negative and antispiritual content actually provided by the things they consume. On this basis we see one of the ways of supporting the spiritual growth of the society (and it has to do especially with its younger part) to be by using the language of the above-mentioned modern subculture. We are to get across the holy sense still in spite of the stereotype of hard music being solely of satanic nature. Hard music is a weapon which is capable to fire with that special force of prayer, as well. And so almost every song on the album includes extracts from original Christian prayers. Finally we would like to recall an utterance from the Holy Scripture, “Let everything that hath breath praise Jehovah.” The hour has struck to make your choice! Are you after God or after Satan?

Orphaned Land - Releases

2010-01-29T09:52:00.000-08:00

Orphaned Land is an Israeli heavy metal band formed in 1991, combining Middle-Eastern, and Jewish/Arabic influences. In 1992, the band changed its name from the original Resurrection (not to be confused with Resurrection, a Floridian death metal band) to Orphaned Land. Orphaned Land fuse progressive, doom, and death metal as well as Middle-Eastern folk music and Arabic traditions in a form of Oriental metal. Each album has some concept related to two extremes: a meeting of east and west, past and present, light and darkness, and God and Satan. The band’s first album was Sahara (1994) which was originally released as a demo. The second album, El Norra Alila (1996), had many eastern/oriental influences, such as "El Norra Alila" ("Illustrious God"), based on a poem sung during Yom Kippur as a plea of forgiveness. It also included songs with traditional oriental Jewish piyyut and Arabic melodies. The album explored the themes of light and darkness, as well as conveying the message of commonality between the three main Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Islam, and Christianity). The third album, Mabool: The Story of the Three Sons of Seven (the Hebrew name for the Deluge, depicted in the Bible and Noah’s story), released in 2004, was seven years in the making. It tells the story of three sons (one for each Abrahamic religion) who try to warn humanity of a flood coming as punishment for their sins. Musically, the album contains oriental instruments, two choruses, traditional Yemenite chants sung by Shlomit Levi, and quotes of Biblical verses from the story of the deluge, read by vocalist Kobi Farhi. After Mabool, Orphaned Land released an EP, Ararat (2005) named after Mount Ararat. Orphaned Land recently finished working on the follow-up to Mabool, entitled The Never Ending Way of ORWarriOR. OrWarrior means "Warrior of Light," and the concept will be the battle between light and darkness. The album will have a different sound than Mabool, and was Mixed by Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree.[4] The first single from the CD was entitled Sapari and was put on MySpace with two other tracks, Vayehi OR and Disciples of the Sacred Oath II. In 2008, Orphaned Land was featured in the documentary Global Metal by the creators of Metal: A Headbanger's Journey.

However, they began to incorporate more influence from gothic rock bands such as The Mission and The Sisters of Mercy. Their sound was described as a mix of the gloominess of gothic rock with guitar-powered rock'n'roll. Their music continued to show influence from other rock artists such as The Doors, Elvis Presley, Hanoi Rocks, Billy Idol, and The Sisters of Mercy as well as vampire films and literature. The term "goth 'n roll" is used by fans to describe their style. In recent times with the release Back in Blood, the 69 Eyes have moved back to a more guitar based sound, although gothic imagery and lyrical themes remain forefront in their style.

Additional music for the extended DVD version was recorded in March, 2002. A similar pattern was followed for The Two Towers and The Return of the King, with the final sessions taking place in London on March 20th, 2004. The music was performed primarily by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the London Voices, with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra contributing some of the early Moria music. A wide variety of instrumental and vocal soloists contributed to the scores as well The scores for The Fellowship of the Ring and The Return of the King won Academy Awards in 2002 and 2004. The latter film also won an Oscar statuette for Best Song, as well as the Golden Globes for Best Original Score - Motion Picture and Best Original Song. Shore's music for The Lord of the Rings has become the most successful composition of its composer's career, and is one of the most popular orchestral film scores of all time.

Siddharta - Releases

2010-01-03T11:13:00.000-08:00

Siddharta is a five-piece Slovenian rock band founded in 1995. They are named after the popular novel by German writer Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha. They was formed in 1995 when four friends - Tomi Meglič (vocals, guitar), Primož Benko (guitar, back vocals), Primož Majerič (bass) and Boštjan Meglič (drums) - got together and named themselves after a well-known Hermann Hesse novel because they liked the sound of it. Siddharta's beginner rock'n'roll was first performed before an audience on March 17, 1995. The band had 40 visitors packed in their rehearsal place at the Šentvid High School, but at this first show the raw energy significant to Siddharta's live performances in the years to come could already be felt. Soon they started developing their own sound and enriched it with the saxophone. Cene Resnik joined the band, who at that point mostly played club gigs and in the end of 1996 they played their 14 demo tapes in a famous progressive club in Ljubljana, K4. In 1997 Siddharta - alongside a lineup of other promising young bands - took part in the Tivolski Pomp project, which resulted in a compilation, for which Siddharta contributed their song Lunanai and made their first TV performance in the Pomp show on national TV.

It was at this time that the trio began to work on building their own style of Doom Metal in their home town of Arlington, Texas. The following year they included guitarist Cody Griffith in the band and began using their influences in every way possible to create a distinctive form of Progressive Doom Metal with emphasis on heaviness, doomy atmospheres, and slow tempo. All throughout this time however the band continued searching for but was never able to find a suitable vocalist appropriate for the passionate and powerful nature of the songs that they had written. However they continued to work and create music that would redefine Doom Metal.

He created and named the geography, the land's creatures and a language for Ophthalamians. The Goddess of this world is a demon woman called Elishia.

The vocals were initially handled by All, but he was replaced by Shadow (Jon Nödtveidt) on A Journey In Darkness. Shadow in his turn was replaced by Legion for the Via Dolorosa album. Legion left the band for the infamous Marduk in 1995 and was replaced by All again. Winter played drums on the first two albums, but left right after Via Dolorosa was recorded. He was replaced by Bone. Guitarist Mourning was replaced by former bassist Night, who picked up the guitars for the Via Dolorosa album and is now the second guitarist. Mist replaced him on bass. Axa (Alexandra Balogh) who contributed as a piano session player also composed the last track of Dissection's album Storm Of The Light's Bane.

MIZAR (Macedonian: Мизар) is a Macedonian rock band from Skopje. They achieved a status of a cult band, especially in Republic of Macedonia and across the former Yugoslavia. Mizar was a part of the Makedonska Streljba movement. The group is notable for its first self-titled album, as it was the first Yugoslav rock record solely in Macedonian language. Previously, Macedonian bands often recorded in Serbo-Croatian for marketing reasons, as it was the most widespreaded language in the multilingual former Yugoslav Federation. The album was a major success and it is listed among the top ten rock albums ever released in Yugoslavia. Mizar was formed in 1983 in the then Socialist Republic of Macedonia, a constituent republic of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Because of the band's avant-garde sound and image, its Orthodox Christian leanings and support for Macedonian self-determination, they were viewed with certain degree of suspicion by the former communist regime. Still, the group received great media attention including numerous appearances on the national television.

After several line-up changes, Decision D made their debut album ‘Razon de la Muerte’ in 1992, setting the tone to becoming one of the most influential Christian metal bands in Europe. After extensive touring, their second CD ‘Moratoria’ followed in 1993. In 1995, Decision D released their third and last album ‘The Last Prostitute’ receiving great reviews worldwide. The Decision D songs are complex in arrangement owing to the considerable technical skills of the musicians and gets an occasional touch of exotic flavors inspired by Caribbean influences, along with the lead singer’s enticing and groovy singing. In the fall of 1995, the band was dissolved after much turmoil. Ironically, singer Edwin Christiaan Ogenio predicted what really was the source of the battle within the band and his church as well as his own liberation from the evil Jezebel demise, in the song “Women of Injustice” from ‘The Last Prostitute’ album.

Band members Larry Farkas, Doug Thieme, Roger Dale Martin, and Glenn Mancaruso left following Once Dead and formed the band Die Happy. Roger Martinez stayed on to record two more studio albums, but aside from him, Vengeance Rising's lineup changed for each subsequent album. While the group was a ground breaking Christian metal band, nowadays Vengeance Rising is known for vocalist Martinez' turning from Christianity to satanism to atheism, since he has continuously done interviews about it. Allmusic describes Vengeance Rising's history as "one of the most entertaining and bizarre stories in the realm of heavy metal"

BETRAYAL are Christian thrash metal band. They were formed in the waning days of the Bay Area's once-thriving speed metal scene (1989, to be exact) by vocalist Chris Ackerman, guitarists Marcus L. Colon and Matt Maners, bassist Jeff Lain, and drummer Brian Meuse. Making their debut with 1991's Renaissance by Death L.P., the band achieved minimal market penetration with the backing of tiny independent label, Wonderland Records; but they stuck with it long enough to record a second album named Passing in 1993, which introduced new axe-man Bob McCue and drummer Jeff Mason. Betrayal splintered a short time later, but guitarist Marcus L. Colon would eventually resurrect the band's name for a year 2000 effort entitled Leaving Nevermore, on which he single-handedly performed all instruments and vocals.Betrayal is a Straight Edge, Christian thrash (later industrial) metal band from the United States. Three full-length albums (Renaissance by Death (1990), The Passing (1993) and Leaving Nevermore.
