====== Holy Countdown ======

Heavy Metal\\
Ottumwa, Iowa, USA

"In the winter of 1990, Holy Countdown became part of the Christian Music Industry. Founded by Dave & Barbe Paris, the group has taken the message of Jesus Christ from local communities to big cities. The year 1993 sent Holy Countdown into the entire nation. Their demo //Hands of Time// received airplay on numerous radio stations across the Midwest. A station in Des Moines, Iowa caught wind of Holy Countdown & filmed a Rockumentary which produced 2 videos. The video for their song "Holy Fire" aired nation wide on secular video program as local & national media reported on the band.

The group has also been blessed with the opportunity to perform concerts and share billing with several major label artists, among which include: [[Bride]], [[D.O.C.]], Avalon, Greg Long, Bruce Carroll, [[Joe Club]], and Lowell Lundstrom. Their music style is blatantly Christian, hard/modern rock. They pull no punches about their faith in Jesus Christ & perform their songs with hard edged enthusiasm and emotion."
