Knights of the New Crusade - Knight Vision: Hymns for the Invisible Church
The third and final(?) entry from Bay Area rocking crusaders Knights of the New Crusade allows them to finally embrace the mystery of the Holy Spirit and fill them with enough holy fire to conquer legions of the unsaved.
Knight Vision: Hymns for the Invisible Church is their psychedelic album and with tracks like The Shepherd's Warning, Love - Fear, and He Stands and Knocks At the Door more a mix of spoken word, stream of consciousness tracks they get more punch when interspersed with more straight-ahead messaging found in tracks like Dark Knight of Soul and Tune In, Turn On, Drop Dead. Then throw in the pure trippiness of God Is Not a Mushroom and Abode of Wisdom and you find the Knights at the peak of their spiritual powers, laying down truth and moving beyond the visible world, into the realm of the spirit. They exist to pierce the veil and move us beyond ourselves...
The Knights simply represent the best of ironic parody bands possibly to ever take up the mantle. This album, in addition to their others (My God Is Alive! Sorry About Yours! and A Challenge To the Cowards of Christendom) complete a masterwork of garage rock and Jack Chick-levels of Christian propaganda.
Track listing:
"He Stands And Knocks At The Door"
"The Lord Dwelleth Not In Temples?"
"The Shepard's Warning"
"Dark Knight Of Soul"
"Love-Fear"
"Common Wisdom"
"God Is Not A Mushroom (LSD: Battle Of The Mind)"
"Tune In, Turn On, Drop Dead"
"The Fire Of Love: The Highest Santity"
"Revelation On High"
"Harrowing Of Hell"
"Waiting For The Kingdom Of Heaven?"
"The Strange Exorcist"
"Baal"
"Abode Of Wisdom"-

FLOTSAM AND JETSAM have been at this since the early 1980s and are probably best remembered for giving bassist Jason Newstead to METALLICA. Their first two records - Doomsday For The Deceiver and No Place For Disgrace are considered classics of the thrash metal genre but like many other acts that started strong on an indie label and wound up on a major label during the thrash signing boom ...-

EXPLODING!†Germany's WIZARD have been at this since 1991 and at this point have pretty much nailed this “true metal†thing down to a science. This, the band's 12th full length offers very little in the way of musical surprises and appears to be purposefully designed that way. WIZARD are catering to a very specific demographic - aficionados of gloriously irony-free...
