In God We Rock! Christian Metal from the 80s!

Written by umbrellashoppe on

From: umbrellashoppe.blogspot.com

Ok, so Umbrella Records and I have been friends for 24 years and our musical tastes are constantly evolving and that's ok. However, I am still puzzled (and sometimes haunted) by our addiction to GOD Metal between the years of 1985-1990. If there was a Christian Metal band on the scene, we were all over it! Here's a list of some of them: Stryper, Bloodgood, Barren Cross, Stryken, Holy Right, Saint, One Bad Pig, The Rez Band, Paradox, and Petra. Ok, some of these band are laughable, but dog-gone-it I still defend my decision to listen to Petra, Saint, and Stryper. These were the better quality Christian Metal bands. I liked the fact that Petra could make elements of metal and pop work together. I liked the fact that Saint, while singing about the uplifting effects of religion, had a really dark sound and lots of dark imagery in their lyrics. And Styper, my goodness, the boys could rock. You cannot mess with their 2nd album, 'Soldiers Under Command'! I still defend it to this day. My GOD Metal phase quickly disintegrated with the arrival of Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, and Soundgarden in the early 90s and I never looked back. Google these Christian Metal bands sometimes and you will be surprised at the results. I'd like to hear from anyone out there who listened to God Metal back in the day. What bands were you into? Do you still listen to them? How do you feel about them now?

I still listen to them. I have become great friends with Josh Kramer of Saint. I was the original Roadie for One Bad Pig along with Paul Q-Pek. I also lived in Chicago at JPUSA for two years from 87-89 where Rez band is based out of. The group is so large at the time approx 500 people that we were broke off into families. I happen to be in Glenn and Wendi's family for the whole time and from time to time I still speak to Glenn. I have worked with numerous christian metal bands back in the day. Bloodgood, Whitecross, Undercover, Rick Cua and more that arent coming to mind right now. I currently have Saint in my CD player in my car. So yes I listen to it on an everyday basis.
