Barren Cross- Atomic Arena

this is the second full length from Barren Cross. this is one of the first christian albums i ever heard. I'm a huge Iron Maiden fan and i was surprised to here a vocalist that sounded to me like Bruce. this album has a lot of great moments in it. besides Heaven or Nothing (throwaway track) i love every song on here. Close to the Edge is awesome, and the last track, Living Dead is epic. a great listen, and good driving music as well. give it a listen. was a great release back in 88' and still holds up to this day in my opinion. enjoy...
song list is as follows:
Barren Cross - Atomic Arena (Enigma) 1988

1. "Imaginary Music" (4:26)
2. "Killer of the Unborn" (3:28)
3. "In The Eye of the Fire" (4:27)
4. "Terrorist Child" (3:30)
5. "Close to the Edge" (4:55)
6. "Dead Lock" (4:18)
7. "Cultic Regimes" (2:48)
8. "Heaven or Nothing" (4:10)
9. "King of Kings" (3:30)
10. "Living Dead" (6:50)

Living Sacrifice

This is the debut album from Living Sacrifice. i hear that they had to finish high school before it could be released due to the labels guidelines. anyway, its a pretty decent album. i don't much care for the guitar tones, but its tight, imaginative , and heavy. this is more in the old Slayer vain. you can defiantly hear their age in this but its still a keeper in my opinion. enjoy!
song list is as follows:
Living Sacrifice (R.E.X.) 1991

1. "Violence" (3:15)
2. "Internal Unrest" (5:35)
3. Second Death" (3:52)
4. "Obstruction" (5:32)
5. "Walls Of Separation" (4:15)
6. "Phargx Imas" (3:55)
7. "No Grave Concern" (4:47)
8. "Dealing With Ignorance" (5:15)
9. "The Prodigal" (3:45)
10. "Anorexia Spiritual" (4:42)

Living Sacrifice- Nonexistant

the is the second album by the Little Rock metalheads, Living Sacrifice. now , a lot of people have said that this was their worst album with the tuned down guitars and the death vocals, but those complainers were always christians who didn't really know what death metal was. this album was before its time i suppose. anyone who is not christian and into death metal has said that this album and Inhabit were the only albums worth a damn from Living Sacrifice, and i tend to agree. anyway, this album kicks ass! enjoy.
song list is as follows:
Living Sacrifice - Nonexistant (R.E.X.) 1992

1. "Emerge" (1:20)
2. "Enthroned" (3:30)
3. "Nonexistent" (4:47)
4. "Haven of Blasphemy" (2:54)
5. "...To Nothing" (3:17)
6. "Void Expression" (5:40)
7. "Atonement" (5:30)
8. "Distorted" (4:41)
9. "Chemical Straightjacket" (4:54)
10. "Without Distinction" (3:23)

Bride- Live To Die

this is my all time favorite album from bride. this is a total metal classic! Dale Thompson is the lead voclist for Bride, and this, in my opinion, is his shining moment! track list is as follows:

1. "Metal Might" (3:33)
2. "Hell No" (3:50)

This is another great band from the 80's. ok, not great great but fun to listen to. the album goes back and forth from the gritty barking of Julio Rey to the surf punk Vally Girl vocals of Nina Llopis . Have a listen, you will at least be entertained. I personally think they kick ass.
