Songs of the Cross: Deep Dive into Christian Rock

With this being the first episode in April, Arin and Kris decided they would celebrate Easter with songs that have Cross in the title. The only requirement was that it had cross in the title and it had to rock. We'll see if Kris can follow the rules. We have made a list of songs from all styles of Christian rock and heavy metal, as we talk about why we picked these songs and what makes them good. Bands that made are lists include Degarmo and Key, Petra, Demon Hunter, One Bad Pig, Saint, and others.

80's Bands in the 90's: Holy Soldier- Promise Man

“I still don’t know why we’re doing this.” What we are doing is starting a new series about 80’s bands that made albums in the 90’s. We are starting off with Holy Soldier’s Promise Man. After a great debut for the 80’s hair metal enthusiasts and a strong follow up with Last Train, Holy Soldier found themselves in the mid 90’s with a new singer. Promise Man is released and is a shock to fans, as it is a full on grunge album. We have a big task ahead of us, as neither one of us is a grunge fan. Arin tries to be fair to the album and looks for positive things. Kris is, well, Kris is Kris.  Plug it in: Kalamity Kills - These Days Are Evil  Email: rocknmetal.faith@gmail.com [rocknmetal.faith@gmail.com] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rock N Metal Faith (@rocknmetal_faith) • Instagram photos and videos⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FB: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556515708634⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556515708634⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠] rocknmetalfaith.podbean.com [http://rocknmetalfaith.podbean.com] https://www.youtube.com/@Rock_N_Metal_Faith [https://www.youtube.com/@Rock_N_Metal_Faith] Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3qQDkBW1cf8axVnxbO63J6?si=lZ_aQkeOT0OWLRSt02roNQ [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3qQDkBW1cf8axVnxbO63J6?si=lZ_aQkeOT0OWLRSt02roNQ] Plug It In playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5legRD2nJ1N2tmTBNXvjv1?si=t3cyX1XuSQiD1XUga0BLnQ [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5legRD2nJ1N2tmTBNXvjv1?si=t3cyX1XuSQiD1XUga0BLnQ] EP:55
