MAN OF STRAW
Viking started off as a typical thrash band, but things changed between the release of their first and second Metal Blade CDs, their guitarist/vocalist Ron Eriksen became a Christian. With this, the lyrical direction changed on their second CD. Drummer Matt Jordan also became a Christian. Ron Erickson is now a Calvary Chapel pastor and the Viking official website is part of a Calvary Chapel page. See link.
This was the second release for Viking, but due to the lyrical content of the first album, the band's first album was not added to Firestream. This CD, while not necessarily a Christian album, does reflect the fact some of the band member became Christians between the first album and "Man of Straw". "The Trial" features some blatantly Biblical lyrics about the Son of God and his love for mankind.
Out of print for years, Man of Straw was re-released in 2006 on Lost & Found Records. Lost and Found Records owner Bryan J Anderson says, "We are extremely happy to have this title available once again. It's a shame titles like this are becoming almost impossible to find. It is our goal to bring these classics back to life better and louder than ever."
