Originally released in 1979 on Sonrise Records, the original cover did not have any photo, just the band name and album title. Then by Tunesmith Records.That's why I set The Two Diffents Artworks Album,Copies of this lp have been spotted recently for upwards of 500 pounds. "Wow!" you say, "I've got that one!" Oh no you don't. That's because more than likely you've got the pressing distributed by the Canadian Tunesmith label. Originally this was released in England as a custom and that's the one that has skyrocketed in value. Though not hugely appreciated by Christian collectors in general, those with an ear trained to homemade heavy rock monster sounds will find a real treasure here. A few progressive influences here such as on 'Way, Truth, Life' but mostly just loud cranking hard rock with aggressive guitar coupled with power synths and organ. They can be melodic too when they want and there's one ballad 'All Is Peace'. Derek Elliott's vocals may be an acquired taste for some. Tunesmith picked up the lp and released it on luscious red vinyl, replacing the original simple logo cover with the now classic band photo that makes them out to be punk rockers (which they're not). I love that guy's furry leopard-skin vast. And is that Joey Ramone on the far right?(http://www.holymetalrob.com/)
