Jesus and Metal. Nothing better! God Bless you all!
Brings back memories. Definitely one of best Christian Metal bands of the 80's.
My great uncle is in this band they are so good my great uncle is Steve Watkins he was my grandpa bob watkins brother They are such an awesome band
Yes- they are. I’ve got all their albums. Them, Deliverance, and Tourniquet are the ultimate intense artists.
That is so great you support them so strongly and from your heart
I was a junior in high school when their first album was released
My favorite band ever
You have some awesome relatives and yes, they are so good, ridiculously good, lol. My dad and I are the only musicians in my family. I play the drums, strum the acoustic guitar and pick notes on the electric bass. My dad was a pianist, trumpeter and guitarist when he was younger, he no longer plays but that's OK, he would have never liked playing with me as i loudly played the drums, then add double bass, he would've complained of headaches, hahaha!!
Through out the years, I'm a follower of Jesus for almost 21 years now, I have heard many gospel rock bands. But talking about lyrics...there is not much of a 'doctrine' matter around anymore. Just repeating a chorus over and over. Makes it very cheap to me.
But this...wow!
Keep it up guys!
One of my favorite songs
the riffage and high notes! Holy Holy indeed!
Man, I haven't heard Sacred Warrior since probably 1991. They still sound great!! This reminds me of something between Iron Maiden and Queensryche.
YES! I am only just discovering this band, but WOW! Great lyrics with a Queensryche sound...wish I had known they existed 25 years ago when I was transitioning from the world?? (Sandra M)
Yeah man!
Kinda thinking the same. It's a little more modern sounding, but not quite Bruce on the vocals, but more of a Rab Halford thing going on
SO many of these bands were unknown to the general metal crowd. California radio stations played them, though.
the scream at 2.48 is beyond description!!
i know right? Eli has just phenomenal vocals.
dude i found out later he wasnt screaming he was singing. i watched some of his vocal coach videos. talk about jaw dropping though
Anthony Jimison
....yeah, its singing ....i was just using 'scream' to describe the power of that note...it's the singing type of scream at its best, not the lame 'screaming' of modern metal core bands.
being-being yeah...this guy has some pipes!
I agree
This won't stop playing in my head. The chorus is stuck in my head. The ending guitar riff too.
Wow! First time I've heard of Sacred Warrior. It won't be the last. Guys,rock on for Jesus!
I've been listening/playing music on an adult level since '60s. I recall my first listen of Led Zeppelin and Queen. This song, not just the vocals. The drums. The guitar. That riff! I'm struggling to compare this to anything prior of merit. Sacred or secular. This could be a new era of metal. SW on the plateau of whole new level. When I think of REAL metal. I think of warfare.I think of steel sharpening steel. I'm a USMC vet and know a little about that. It is not just the music. The message!
I remember Barron Cross, Rez band opened up for Sacred Warrior back in 1988 in Ocala, FL. and Sacred Warrior played all songs from the Rebellion album. Awesome show from all musicians! I will never forget! I love this album too!😂🤟🎸
I REMEMBER THAT! I’m from (still in) Ocala. I was in a hard rock band with a Christian message called Heaven’s Axe. Me and my bass player Joe went to that show to get tips from the pros to try to help craft our stage show.
Praise The Lord in The Highest!! Jesus Is Lord! Yes!!! Thank you.... Rockin!!!
BEST CHRISTIAN METAL BAND EVER!!!!
That breakdown gives me chills.
Absolutely amazing guys! I'm a band teacher at a high school. Guess what my kids had to listen to today? Tony and Bruce, miss you both!
high school band director myself.
oh, and Bruce....love your playing style.
Spirits of demons are crawling on my skin
Lusting for power control of my mind
Tenaciously seeking for cracks in the armor
A place to begin their insidious crime
Waiting in darkness
Seething with hate for the children of light
Waiting in silence
They strike like a beast in the night
Waiting in darkness
They're longing for your and my demise
They cannot possess me because I am filled
But given the moments corrupt me they will
The flesh and the spirit are constant at war
From hell's gates to glory the battle endures
Waiting, waiting they're waiting in darkness
Deception temptation haunting with accusations
Unclean spirits invisible enemies
We fight them we bind them in Jesus, name deny them
Their claim to victory over our hearts our souls our minds
Through prayer spiritual warfare
Through your anger they fuel the fire
Feeding off of your flesh's sinful desires
Lies and confusion your faith put to the test
Focusing in on all of your weaknesses
We must be vigilant to thwart their evil plight
Be strong in the lord and in the power of his might
Be prepared for war
So it's the highest note I have heard .I think it's higher than Michael sweet .extremely impressive!!!! Love this song .How could anyone not watch this .Top 10 song here .Amaizing !!! All are equally good here 👍
Why can't I give this a million thumbs up?
Better than the 80’s and 90’s-if that’s even possible. AMAZING!
I've known the Sacred Warrior guys since their breakup and went to church with them, I reconnected with Rey in 2005 and now he is getting in touch with my buddies in the metal scene and connecting with my friends from the Goth Metal scene. It is weird talking about you guys in the present tense because when I met all of you the band was in past tense.
Literally can’t stop listening to this masterpiece 🔥
Heavenly metal!!
Dude... seriously? I'm totally stealing that line!!! 😁Years ago I was listening to Six Feet Deep and someone told me I was listening to Life Metal...... Lol
Just stumbled across this from out of nowhere.
I have not heard hide nor hair from Sacred Warrior in 20 years or more. This sounds FANTASTIC.
Love it!
this guitar riff at the beginning is just amazing
One of my favorite bands in college.. Still amazing vocals!
+Godrules Mine too.
+Godrules I can see why. It's my first time listening to them. :)
Godrules I agree, great vocals
Rosannas raiders
Praise The Lord, every being who breathes!

it's good to see old christian bands come back and remind us how good christian metal was and how it can still draw the unsaved people to Christ. These band are so creative and thier lyrics are so real you can feel the holy spirit talking to you and waking our minds in this wicked world will live in.Victory in Jesus over darkness!!!
Riffs, drumming, vocals, all perfect
Amazing vocals!!!!
You guys rock for the King! Love this whole album. Screaming at the devil.
Awesome Vocals.The Band is really tight also
Bruce Swift is such a creative guitar player.I,ve always enjoyed his playing and his unique guitar sound.
This is true metal .praise God for your talent !

Bruce has to be one of the best creative guitar players in Christian metal.🎸🎸
My favourite guitarist in all of christian metal.. Love the Randy Rhoads influence!
Heavenly Heavy Metal Blessings!!!

Jesus said do as I do, and I will give you a helper the Holy Spirit. Jesus raised the dead , cast out demons, healed the sick , made the blind to see, it's not we who do any of this it's him working inside us threw the Holy Spirit. Healing is happening all over the globe don't think God ain't up to something big cause he is , evil is nothing compared to The Lord , evil is frightened by the presence of God in us. Guarantee ya, blessings

Great song, & the Guitar Solo is awesome
WOW, What a great find...tripped over this.
Praise God for christian metal! So wonderful to see people using the talent he has given them to glorify him!!!
AWESOME BAND!!!!! EXCELLENT HEAVY METAL CLASSIC
Do we all FULLY GRASP how AWESOME this is??!! New Sacred Warrior!! They have truly come up with a TREMENDOUS cd--The 1st cd of new material in 22 YEARS!! The heaviest Warrior EVER!! Not even the departure of Ray Parra on vocals could detour this powerhouse cd!! I LOVE the BOLD lyrics for Christ !! Instead of sitting on the fence,they tore it down and erected a cross!! The " Sacred Challenge" is hereby thrown down--Buy the physical cd from the band's site!!!!!
I have loved them for years.
One of my favorite Christian metal songs of all time,the vocals,guitar and drums on this song and meaning wow
This is without a doubt rockin! On par with Queensryche album that just came out. Best music I've heard in a long time
.... and still nails the screaming vocals! ! !
Vocals are not live, notice at very end the lead vocals are still going after he closes his mouth, it’s all pre recorded vocals, probably edited to,
Sacred Warrior has been and always will be one of my favorite bands, and this song and the upcoming album just add to my appreciation for thier desire to serve God and make great music. I will buy two or three copies of the new CD so I can give some away.
Does metal get any better? This tune is equal to anything they did back in the day in my opinion. Masters Command was my fav
The Second Greatest Story Ever Told - Les Ullrich facebook
Yup
I love all their albums. I can't choose one over another because they're all so great to me.
it's great to see Bruce Swift using that same guitar sound that puts a mark on Sacred Warriors heavy intense sound.Heavy and clean and the vocals are easy to hear the words.
This is the best Scared Warrior album and song of all time! 🎧❤️ With the best scream ever!
I can NOT believe it! Sacred Warrior putting out a new album?!?!? I am SO STOKED!
I just came across them a couple weeks ago. And they are incredible I hate I am just now finding out about them.
Great band God bless this band
God bless heal save and forgive you amen
I turn everyone I know on to this song!!!
Jonny Boy Watkins yeah...that note at the 2:48 mark
AWESOME!!!!! THANKS FOR THE REUNION!
Nice way to hit that high note love it
Such a brilliant song, even better than the original albums.
Love this video of sacred warrior
That was utterly AMAZING!
Great song and awesome solo.

Absolutely amazing loved it

Incredible! I have been hoping to find a Christian band like this. Amazing performance, from all members. Very well polished, clean sound. I am so impressed.
BLESSING YOU SACRED WARRIOR. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I just ran across this, by typing in Christian Metal. I'm blown away! I love the music, vocals. . now it's time for me to check out the lyrics!!! Thanks for sharing and God bless!!!
Billy Jack profile picture 😎🤙🏻
im athieat but i love christian metal descovered on acident recently, there amazing especielly this band incredible voice is incredible
these guys are great love the music never heard of them before
This is much better than anything I haved heard in a very long time.
Master's Command and Wicked Generation were just auditions by comparison.
If this is their last release,
They released a classic gem that will rank right up there with Deliverance's Weapons release from 1990.
Great metal with a solid message.
And,
I'm addicted to this vid.
comments people, comments..... Praise worthy please. Eli is a great vocalist. Sacred Warrior is a great band. to sum it up with saying who is great, one thing is needed to be said and that is the deception of the devil, from the beginning of time we hate. I hope to see where this band goes in the future and where Eli goes as well. a great singer like all my favorites from the 90s. may God be glorified.
Could you give my songs a listen to compare to these guys? I’m on you tube, creatures of the light- original song by rick grebenik, and my darkest night- original song by rick grebenik, been tryin to get this band to do my songs, they are now considering it for their next release! Cool
I got nostalgic because my dad would play this song a lot.
2:48 blows me away every time
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same amazing drum unique to. SW
Not only outstanding.if i hear the vocals right what He is saying is actualy True ,and not everybody knows ut is realy true!
So glad I found this. I was a big metal head when I was lost in the world before I was saved by Christ. I like a lot of Christian music but I still long for guitar solos and heavy music. I was in the gym when I found this and it made my day. Awesome music! Christ is King!
awesome.
All kinds of yes!
I will NEVER FORGET going to 1st Presbyterian churches gym and seeing this band!!! I was totally blown away!!! WOW!!! WE ALL WERE!!
These guys are amazing!
Wow... you guys totally rock. I miss Rick and Rey very much. Rick may he rest in peace. I miss you all.
I'm friends with Bruce. Love this band!
I'm Waiting in Darkness, I Love this Song, since the first time I hearded it.
Such an epic song
