    I've been a fan of Sacred Warrior since their beginning. I had the opportunity to see them a couple of times live. They are one of the best Christian Metal bands around.

    Love Sacred Warrior! They have a special place in my heart. I went to the same church that several band members went to. My favorite album is Rebellion. Mostly due to it being their first. I was at a few of their early concerts. My dad even loved their music. He would go watch them practice.

    I’ve been listening to Sacred Warrior since the inception of the band back in 1988… They are getting ready to do a show in Versailles Ohio Labor Day weekend… Just came together in the studio for the first time in 30 years and they sound better than ever… Rey Parra the vocalist and Jonathan Johnson the guitar player have formed a group called Deny The Fallen (The album symptoms of eternity). Definitely recommend a first listen to that… but these guys have only gotten better with age and time. Obsessions was definitely their peak record.

    Sacred Warrior is always been compared to Queensryche, hence the Christian Queensryche, but now that you've mentioned Ray Parra's voice is similar to Michael Kiske and Rik Emmett, I hear it, but many will still compare the band as Queensryche due to making of the Wicked Generation album similar to Operation Mindcrime concept.
    Ray Parra has joined with other Christian metal musicians and put together a band named Worldview.
    Sacred Warrior will doing a festival with other 80's Christian rock and metal bands(Barren Cross/Petra/Les Carlsen(Bloodgood)/Fear Not/ Whitecross/Saint/Daniel Band...etc.) on Sept. 2/3/4/2022 in Versailles, OH

      Me too. LOVE SW. Obsessions is probably my favorite as well. Although I came into the band with their debut so it has a soft spot. The title track of the debut is one of my all-time favorite metal tunes.

  • @bueymb
    @bueymb Před 2 lety +7

    Sacred Warrior was one of the first Progressive Christian metal bands. I personally think the album Master's Command is their best album.
    No they are still going. They put out an album titled Waiting in Darkness in 2013 with a different lead singer. And I believe they are working on a new album.
    If you ever do Holy Soldier my all time favorite song by them is When the Reign Comes Down. And if you do I will tell you a story about the band that I got straight from the lead singer himself.

  • @dpwellman
    @dpwellman Před rokem +2

    Hey. Catching up on the stuff I missed weeks ago. Another favorite from the 80's. I honestly only like the first two albums, though I own all of them-- studio albums, at least. Honestly though this is not the best track on the album, "Children of the Light", "Day of the Lord", and "Stay Away From Evil" have it beat showing the band at its power metal nibbling on the edges of progressive doom metal best. Drummer Tony Velasquez one of my al time favorite rock drummers.
    Oh. Yeah. Do Chrystavox. . . "Snakes In the Grass" is a good one. It's got that tail end of the glam/hair metal phase flavor to it. Otherwise their track, "It's All Right (To Rock N' Roll)" is a long time guilty pleasure. Great track.

    Love Sacred Warrior. Been a fan of theirs since the beginning. My ranking of their albums goes as follows:
    1. Obsessions
    2. Rebellion
    3. Wicked Generation
    4. Master's Command
    5. Waiting In Darkness
    Often compared to Queensryche, SW carved out a niche in the Christian music market by their excellent musicianship, writing, and recording of quality power metal. Rey Parra is one of the best vocalists around. Bruce Swift is one of the best guitarists around. Tony Velazquez is one of the best drummers around.
    Excellent vid, Shane. More of this please.

    I have a vague recollection of hearing this band name way back but know absolutely nothing about them otherwise. Agreed that the opening riff was very Britny Fox-ish (Long Way to Love specifically)....that was my immediate first thought. The hook I found somewhat reminiscent of Journey's Separate Ways, probably just because of the meter. This lost me just a little bit when it slowed down but overall I thought it was a decent, solid jam worthy of horns. 🤘
