Day 433 - Holy Soldier - See No Evil

433. Holy Soldier - See No Evil
from the Album Holy Soldier
(Myrrh/A&M, 1990)

"The eponymous debut release from Holy Soldier remains of the true landmark albums in the Christian rock and metal world. Myrrh Records finally put their substantial industry weight behind a metal band and the band did not disappoint with a stellar debut that hits right in the center of the metal world at the time. Heavy drums and David Zaffiro produced wall of vocals and guiatrs created a legitimate metal album in any arena.

The great struggle the band would face through it’s decade long career was the inability to stay together for very long without personnel changes. This was most notable in the on again off again relationship lead vocalist Steve Patrick would have with the band. Most agree the best projects are those in which Patrick was a participant.

But that would all follow this classic debut. Fans of Guns and roses, Bon Jovi, Skid Row and a host of LA metal bands would find something here to appreciate.
…
Much of Christian metal (big hair or hard rock) had a tendency to suffer from average to mediocre production, especially debut projects. Here, with the help and support of Zaffiro and Myrrh, Holy Soldier was able to create a great record. And though the band would continue to create solid projects throughout its tenure, this debut would stand out as a real treasure.

Future releases would also carry a distinctly more 'mainstream' lyrical content and one of the great values of this album is the fact that the significantly more evangelical approach still sounded real and authentic within the genre." (Source: CCM's 500 Best Albums)
