Namaste Sate by Aradhna

by Matt Crosslin | posted in: January 2011, Music Review | 0

The new album by Aradhna, Namaste Sate, is a work of beauty.  Everything from the photography to the videos to the music comes together in one awe-inspiring package.  How appropriate, since Aradhna means “worship.”  For those unfamiliar with Aradhna, they … Continued

Human Sacrifice by Vengeance Rising

by Steve Ruff | posted in: January 2011, Music Review | 0

Vengeance Rising… what can I say? This first release was the definitive Christian thrash record of its time. Originally released in 1988, everything about this record caused a stir. People complained about lead singer Roger Martinez’s voice, they complained about … Continued

Once Dead by Vengeance Rising

by Steve Ruff | posted in: January 2011, Music Review | 0

Bloodgood by Bloodgood

by Matt Crosslin | posted in: January 2011, Music Review | 0

Bloodgood’s classic debut album gets the re-issue treatment from Intense Millennium Records.  The sound is classic metal – a little power, a little melodic, but all shred. The only real problem when it was first released was the limited recording … Continued

Rebellion by Sacred Warrior

by Matt Crosslin | posted in: January 2011, Music Review | 0

Sacred Warrior was one of the first Christian bands to take on the progressive metal genre pioneered by Queensryche.  They are not copycats by any means, but fans of simple riff rock might want to look elsewhere. You probably already … Continued

7 Deadly Sins by Miranda Stone

I know the date shows that this album has been out for nearly 10 years, but I am just now discovering it.  Miranda is married to Aradhna sitar player Chris Hale.  So as a fan of Aradhna, I figured I … Continued

Imperium by Grammatrain

by Matt Crosslin | posted in: January 2011, Music Review | 0

Grammatrain returns with their first full album in years.  They still sound like Grammatrain – no attempts have been made to adopt a new style.  That’s not to say this is a re-hash of their first two albums.  There is … Continued

Happy Living by Mumble

Happy Living by Mumble

by Steve Ruff | posted in: January 2011, Music Review | 0

I’ll be honest when reviewing this and tell you that I had to listen a couple of times before I got into this release. Maybe it’s because the music is way more complex than I originally thought. These five guys … Continued
