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.
