BIO: Whitecross is a Christian metal band that formed in 1985 in Waukegan, IL releasing their first recording in the year 1987. Their early albums, which often invite comparisons to Ratt, are laced with fast, technical guitar work. In 1994, bandleader, primary songwriter and producer Rex Carroll split with lead vocalist Scott Wenzel. Scott retained the use of the name "Whitecross" while Rex went on to form King James with Jimi Bennett (see below). At this point the band\'s sound underwent a drastic change, until Rex and Scott rejoined in 2000.
Whitecross has won three Dove Awards with Triumphant Return (in 1990) and In the Kingdom (in 1992) winning "Metal Album of the Year" and Come unto the Light from the Unveiled album winning "Hard Music Recorded Song of the Year" at the 25th GMA Dove Awards in 1994.
In 1994 prior to work starting on the Unveiled album, guitarist Rex Carroll left to form the band King James and pursue other musical ventures. In 1998, singer Scott Wenzel took a two-year break to do mission work in South America. During this time, Whitecross went on hiatus before re-emerging at Cornerstone Festival in 2000 when Carroll and Wenzel reformed the "classic" lineup with Rex, Scott, Michael Feighan and newcomer Benny Ramos providing bass, keyboards and vocals. Finally having achieved a long-sought lineup stability, the band started performing on a regular basis.
In 2005, Carroll and Wenzel reunited to record Nineteen Eighty Seven, which featured re-recordings of nine of the ten songs from the band's self-titled debut album (You're Mine being the exclusion), as well as a re-recording of the song Love on the Line (previously unavailable on CD) and a new guitar instrumental by Rex Carroll.
On April 5, 2008, they played at the Legends of Rock festival in Ennepetal, Germany. Beginning in July 2008, they played the first of several short tours in Guatemala featuring shows in Guatemala City, Panajachel, Huehuetenango, among other cities.

Artist: Sacred Warrior Song: Evil Lurks CD: Master\'s Command Genre: rock Label:Intense records Homepage
Sacred Warrior is a Christian band that played melodic, progressive hard rock/metal, often quite reminiscent of mid-period Queensryche, a label that they considered a compliment. Sacred Warrior broke up in 1994 and then reformed at least temporarily in 2000 to do a Cornerstone Reunion Show. There was talk of a new album ... but nothing came of it at that time. Rey Parra moved to Florida while the rest of the band stayed in Chicago making it difficult to continue writing music.
2008 was the year of new beginnings and Sacred Warrior began putting together what is thought to be one of their heaviest discs yet. It is Hard yet still has the warrior feel to it and don't be thinking that we are going to wimp out on the lyrics.
They believe that today more that ever that they need to bring the Gospel of Jesus to the forefront. They are currently recording the new cd in Chicago and I will be recording the vocals in Florida. This long awaited disc will be finished this year "Lord Willing" so please be patient and be prayerful so that all goes well. We Love and appreciate all our Friends and Family. God Bless you all. -Sacred Warrior

Usually this album is lumped in with the hair bands of the early 90's, but 'Soul Survivor' is much more diverse than most pop metal from this era. As a matter of fact, this album isn't even pop metal. The lead song on the CD is a bluesy hard rock song called "Media Mania". There are some very diverse touches of blues, jazz, and even flamenco on this album. The album lends nicely and is a well executed hard rock/metal album. The production, while slick, is quite gritty!

Big Bang is the debut album by the American metal band Magdallan, released 1992 on Intense Records.

Magdallan started out as a project of Lanny Cordola (ex-House of Lords) and Ken Tamplin (ex-Shout). After their first album Lanny decided to make Magdallan a full band so he changed the name to Magdalen and recruited ex-House of Lords members Chuck Wright and Ken Mary.

Shout is 80's L.A. hair metal in the highest degree; in look and in sound. Shout's debuted in 1988 at a time when Christian metal of any sort was not in abundance. Ken Tamplin has a great voice and is an excellent guitarist ... and ... "It Won't Be Long" is a solid CD. The layered vocals, heavy guitars and melodic keyboards mix very well on these tracks. This disc is a collector's item and rarely sells for less that $20 thru on-line auctions!
