5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Effort - Definitely A Classic, August 10, 2007

By

This review is from: Promise Man (Audio CD)

I recall around 1990 Holy Soldier being hyped as the next Led Zeppelin of the Christian industry. That was ridiculous and shows how sad much of that industry was then. Fortunately it has improved tremendously. Even so, there were/are some diamonds to be found and Holy Soldier is definitely one of them. Their first 2 cd's were in the heavy metal genre. Remind me of Great White ballads (which I love), and otherwise just excellent, original heavy metal of the 90's. Yes they had the hair, who cares? Anyone with some depth of character doesn't need to follow trends and recognizes great music is great music whether mass society agrees or not. This cd- Promise Man is a big departure. New vocalist with much lower vocal sound. Accuse them of trying to go grunge, but again, think and listen for yourself and forget the masses. This is outstanding music. They made a great transition of styles. It's almost like 2 different bands but both are really exceptional. Good lyrical messages, excellent songs, vocals and guitar playing. Great cd. I've had it for several years and I still play it regularly. Wish they'd put more cd's out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Last Studio Album and Amazing, January 27, 2006

Music Lover (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Promise Man (Audio CD)

Holy Soldier fell victim to the tragedy that was the decline of interest in bands deemed 'Hair Metal'. Holy Soldier put out 3 studio albums with each getting better and better. This album won a Dove Award for the best rock album but despite this turned out to be their last studio album. All of the tracks on this album are strong musically and lyrically. Highlights include:

Promise Man

Mumbo Jumbo

Why Don't You Look Into Jesus?

Rust

Cover Me

Love Conquers All

Overall this is a wonderful album that didn't get it's true opportunity to shine. Holy Soldier - you're missed...

Holy Soldier is one of the best Christian Metal Bands I have ever heard. I love this album the music is driven and the lyrics are very well writen.
