While Stryper got a lot of buzz -- and, grief -- as a Christian rock band, there were other groups out there. Sacred Warrior is one of those from the late '80's. Sounding like Iron Maiden, they thrash out good heavy metal tunes: Hooks, riffs, operatic vocals, and all! The lyrics are explicitly Christian with no apologies. The production is very clear and crisp. The lead singer's voice strains a tad on the higher notes of the scale, but only strains, never breaks. The guitar work is simply great as are the drums. They obviously put effort into their technique. Unfortunately, the band broke up after 4 releases. So, you're getting half the group's work with this 2-CD set. My only criticism would be that the liner notes are very sparse. A great intro to a little known band that could rock the house down for Jesus!

5.0 out of 5 stars These Classics on CD for the first time? GET THIS!, March 22, 2001

If you like Queensryche, Steve Vai, Stryper, or other melodic classic metel, you will love this cd. It's heavy with strong vocals, and fast grinding guitar are now finally being regarded as part of the history of Rock and Roll in the U.S. Sacred Warrior was one of the most under-rated of these, never truly rising to the popularity they should have, but with some of the best metel I've every heard. GET IT if your head still bangs at the rythem of two guitars whaling off each other like Michael Sweet and Oz Fox, and the guys from Sacred Warrior do so well...

I was introduced to these first two of Sacred Warrior's works back in '88 while far away from my home state of Idaho.(Was selling books in Texas in the "Bible Belt" for college money.) Being a rabid fan of heavy metal for most my life, and loving bands with singers that had TRUE TALENT...you know, have a vocal range worth something. Bands like Soundgarden and Queensryche and few others have such quality singers. Sacred Warrior DOES! The songs to listen to are definately "Master's Command", "Paradise", "He Died" and "Rebellion"...in that order, if possible. These will be tunes you will catch yourself humming! But by all means, LISTEN FURTHER! Their third and fourth albums are extra rich in talented lyrics and soulful singing. ENJOY...
