Another tape that makes the case for checking liner notes before shuffling a tape to the back of the stack. The cover itself doesn’t really look that special, plus I have never heard of this band. But open the case and you find a “who’s who” of Christian 80s metal. Sanctuary Church logos and messages. Produced by George Ochoa (of Recon, Deliverance, and Worldview fame). Jimmy B. Brown II (Deliverance, if you didn’t know) on backing vocals. The band itself has Tracy Ferrie on bass – he would later play in Seraiah, Whitecross, Stryper, and Boston. Ray Vidal was also later in Worldview. Some of the other names look familiar, but I can’t recall right now. Anyways, this is 80s glam rock around the same area as Poison or Enuff Z’Nuff. Only two songs, but both are well done.
