Metal compilation that brings together a range of artists and time periods under the simple banner of "metal for Jesus."
Title: Metal For Jesus
Artist: Various
Label: http://www.metalforjesus.org
Time: 17 tracks/1:17:24 min.
What you basically have here is a good collection of previously released tracks from metal bands Golden Resurrection, Narnia, Audiovision, Modest Attraction, and Divinefire. The united factor on all of these songs is Christian Liljegren, who served as vocalist for every band.
Despite the wide range of years and styles that this compilation covers, the album works overall as a whole stylistically and thematically. Stylistically the range is mostly different flavors of melodic to neoclassical metal (with Modest Attraction’s 70’s hard rock being the outlier).
The lyrical focus is really on the songs that make direct statements about Jesus (as the compilation title would suggest). Since you are getting some of the best tracks from each band, there really isn’t a clunker on the whole album, not to mention a surprise Stryper cover thrown in for good measure.
