Lyrics:
Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law
With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth.
I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoice in great riches
---
I ‘m a Pilgrim a foreign land, I have chosen the way of truth
Please, let me be guided by your laws.
How happy are those who obey and seek you with all their hearts
I pray that my actions reflect your sacred Word
Lord, teach me your decrees
Take me away from the way of lies, strengthen me with your word, may my
soul not drown in sorrow
I will thank you for learning to live properly as your statutes dictate
Your decrees are the theme of my songs, and ligth to my journey
Accept this praise and teach me more about you, about your word
If your word were not my pleasure, I’d have died in my suffering
I’ve kept it in my heart, so that I might not sin on you.
You are my refuge and my shield, and I’ll follow your laws the until the end
Sign my steps so that sin will not dominate me, no more
Teach me your precepts so that I may live
Your word is the eternal legacy , wisdom, love and justice
Once again I pray to learn your laws, ‘cause I love you Lord and your word
Hailing from Brazil, Perpetual Legacy is a Symphonic Metal band whose arrangements draw comparison to European based - 'HB'.

Siloam - Sweet Destiny
(*NEW-CD-GOLD DISC EDITION, 2020, Retroactive)
This is THE big monster smash-hit debut from a band that didn't survive long after the grunge on-slaught! Ottawa, Canada based Siloam is the brainchild of uber-talented drummer, Brian Lutes. Coming out of a real street-wise background, Lutes became a Christian after nearly dying of a drug overdose but went back to the streets in order to work with kids and relate the Gospel to them in a credible way. For naysayers who try and claim Christian hard rock and metal was second-class to mainstream rock like Skid Row, Def Leppard, and Guns-n-Roses we’d like to introduce you to SILOAM! In the words of music critic, Angelic Warlord, “Sweet Destiny flows quite well from front to back in that it includes no filler tracks.” Tim Laroche decorates the album with blazing and at times distorted lead guitar work, cutting loose on “Eastern Skies” and “Deceiver” while exhibiting a bluesier side to his playing on “Child Of Mine.” Very Oz Fox-esque in style. This is full-on, exceptional, melodic, commercial AOR/metal with massive hooks, killer vocals, and top shelf production. Following the release of Sweet Destiny, Siloam became involved in the “Really Me/Stay In School” rock tour across Canada – which was also part of a Just Say No anti-drug campaign – that featured sponsorship from the likes of McDonald’s, Pepsi, major hotel chains, fuel companies and even the Canadian government. Siloam, as a result of this partnership, was able to tour with over a million dollars worth of staging, sound and light gear, taking its message to arenas and stadiums with audiences that literally numbered in the tens of thousands. If you like bands that have that distinct 80's sound along the lines of Stryper, Crystavox, Guardian, and Holy Soldier, then grabbing a copy of Siloam’s 1991 debut release is a must! Available on vinyl for the very first time. Also available on remastered Gold Disc Edition CD.

Neon Cross was a Southern California melodic metal (hair metal) band that rose during the height of the Sunset Strip days.
In 1987 Regency Records asked them to record 2 songs for the California Metal Compilation and the 5-song EP Frontline Life Demo was released in 1987 as well. In 1988 they released their full-length self-titled album which went down as one of the best Christian Rock albums of all time.
Girder is so proud to be including NEON CROSS as part of our LEGENDS OF ROCK series and offering not only the 10 original songs completely remastered, but also 7 bonus tracks, 2 from California Metal I NEED YOUR LOVE and SON OF GOD as well as the complete 5 song EP Demo FRONTLINE LIFE. Completely remastered in a 8 page jewel case along with photos lyrics and songs in the right order as found on the Vinyl. Yes, the Cassette had songs titles in the wrong order on the J-card cover and the Magdallan records release was missing THE BATTLE from FRONTLINE LIFE.

Is Rob Rock working on a solo project?
The Pure Metal Fan did an interview with the legendary Rob Rock and asked him the following question:
TPMF: It’s been over 11 years since your last solo album, when can we expect a new one?
Rob Rock: I’ve been continually asked about the next RR album. I am currently writing songs with several friends and hope to get on a roll to put together some demos in the near future. I’m not sure when it will all come together, but I am hoping that 2019 will be a good year to start recording.

Gonzo Multimedia is releasing the debut studio album from Rodney Matthews And Jeff Scheetz With Oliver Wakeman, titled Trinity.
World renowned British fantasy artist and drummer Rodney Matthews and American rock guitarist and Director of Education at TrueFire Jeff Scheetz, along with British award-winning composer and former Yes keyboardist Oliver Wakeman are to release a prog rock album inspired by Matthews’ fantastical images.
Having illustrated over 140 rock album covers Matthews knew who to call upon to play across the ten eclectic tracks composed and arranged by himself, Scheetz, Wakeman and TV/film composer and multi-instrumentalist Pete Coleman. The stellar lineup also includes none other than legendary Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman on the title track, three bass players - Asia FJP’s John Payne, Magnum’s Tony Clarkin and in-demand jazz/blues/rock session player Steve Amadeo - and world class saxophonist Charles McNeal, plus vocals by Sarah Prothero and narration by Mark A. Williams.
The distinctive styles and diversity of contributions from these musicians lends perfectly to the largely instrumental album, encapsulating in music, images both familiar and new, from the thunderous "Heavy Metal Hero" and dramatic "Night On The Bare Mountain" to the majestic "Mirador" and ethereal "Trinity"(and everything in-between).
The album will be available on CD and double vinyl with bonus tracks. Also, for collectors, both will be included in a lavish limited-edition boxed set, accompanied by Matthews’ illustrated guide to the artwork, two giclée prints and a set of eleven postcards.
Of the album, many years in the making, Matthews says: “I’ve waited all my life to record an album, to do so with this group of high calibre musicians was beyond my wildest dreams - and trust me, being a fantasy artist, I can dream pretty wild!”
Out in February 2020, the album is now available for pre-order at the Trinity album website here, or on vinyl via Diggers Factory, here.

Greetings Brave Fans!
This is Stayce, guitarist, songwriter, and, yes you heard it right, new lead vocalist of my band, The Brave. You might remember us from the 3 albums we made, Battlecries(1991), Trust(1994) and Rise(2014). If the album titles don’t ring a bell, maybe the song titles will. We had multiple hits on the Christian Rock charts in the early 90’s like Just a Man, All Together Now, If That Ain’t Love, Can’t Let The Devil Win, Big World, The Waiting, Tears of a Broken Heart, Tomorrow and more! We were signed to Pakaderm Records in 1991 under the top-notch production of John & Dino Elefante.
But now here we are in 2019 with 10 brand new Brave songs that I want to share with you. I’m asked all the time via Facebook, Email & Twitter, “Hey, Stayce, when are you guys going to put out a new record?” Well, the answer is, 2019 gang, but we’re going to need some help.
In 2014, we put out an album that had some great remakes on it of our previous material, as well as 4 new songs. The reaction was great, but it appears that everyone wants more! Being our primary songwriter, I am happy to oblige, and I am currently in preproduction with some of my Brave partners and I can assure you, it’s gonna rock like the days of old! Picture a toss up between Trust and Battlecries—that’s where we’re headed, so buckle up!
With your generous support, we’ll be able to release this album worldwide without a label. One thing I never liked about a label is they tone us down a bit. If you’ve ever seen us live, that’s probably not the best idea…..lol.
The album is tentatively called Lucid(The Darkness & The Light), but may change. Each one of you will have the inside track to the development of the CD as it is happening, including cool stuff like the album's title!
Our Goal
The one thing that this band has been fortunate to have is you, the fans. Some of you want more Battlecries type of tunes(comin’ up!), while some of you are asking for more of a bluesy, Trust vibe(no problemo!), while there is a new breed of fan that wants more of the 4 new tunes off of Rise(absolutely!). The thing is, I tend to write a certain way--I like big hooks, melody for days, big vocals, guitars & drums(maybe my time writing with John Elefante rubbed me off on me!), and this album is going to have all of that--all of the things that we were known for. But here's the thing....
The cost of making a CD these days, to do it right, takes money. While we have access to top line gear in order to make the album, it’s a whole other ball of wax to get the album mixed and mastered, as well as the artwork, publishing and such. That’s why we need you. The bottom line is, we want this to sonically blow you away, and with these 10 tunes, we believe that it will do just that. I’ve seen artists on Kickstarter asks for a ton of money to do a project of this size, but we don’t think that’s necessary. 10 grand is what we are hoping to raise, and we can’t do it without you. That being said, I can assure you that if you liked any of our previous material, this album is going to knock your socks off! And, just to ease your mind, yes, we will be shredding leads the way you used to see us do in concert! The Brave was fortunate to have been heard polished ala Petra/Whiteheart(Battlecries) as well as, when grunge took over back in 92/93, bluesy and raw(Trust). In order to give you guys the right polish on this hybrid of both albums, we are counting on you to help us get it!
We also want you to know that you will all get the finished project sent to you via email prior to it’s release, as well as be kept up to date on the progress as it is happening.
Oh, and one more thing. We would appreciate it if you guys would share this page for us! Everything counts!
Here’s hoping that we can be partners on this project. God Bless you all, and we look forward to delivering you the album that you’ve been waiting for in 2019.
