    Brings back memories. Definitely one of best Christian Metal bands of the 80's.

      You have some awesome relatives and yes, they are so good, ridiculously good, lol. My dad and I are the only musicians in my family. I play the drums, strum the acoustic guitar and pick notes on the electric bass. My dad was a pianist, trumpeter and guitarist when he was younger, he no longer plays but that's OK, he would have never liked playing with me as i loudly played the drums, then add double bass, he would've complained of headaches, hahaha!!

    Through out the years, I'm a follower of Jesus for almost 21 years now, I have heard many gospel rock bands. But talking about lyrics...there is not much of a 'doctrine' matter around anymore. Just repeating a chorus over and over. Makes it very cheap to me.
    But this...wow!
    Keep it up guys!

    Man, I haven't heard Sacred Warrior since probably 1991. They still sound great!! This reminds me of something between Iron Maiden and Queensryche.

      Kinda thinking the same. It's a little more modern sounding, but not quite Bruce on the vocals, but more of a Rab Halford thing going on

      ....yeah, its singing ....i was just using 'scream' to describe the power of that note...it's the singing type of scream at its best, not the lame 'screaming' of modern metal core bands.

    Spirits of demons are crawling on my skin
    Lusting for power control of my mind
    Tenaciously seeking for cracks in the armor
    A place to begin their insidious crime
    Waiting in darkness
    Seething with hate for the children of light
    Waiting in silence
    They strike like a beast in the night
    Waiting in darkness
    They're longing for your and my demise
    They cannot possess me because I am filled
    But given the moments corrupt me they will
    The flesh and the spirit are constant at war
    From hell's gates to glory the battle endures
    Waiting, waiting they're waiting in darkness
    Deception temptation haunting with accusations
    Unclean spirits invisible enemies
    We fight them we bind them in Jesus, name deny them
    Their claim to victory over our hearts our souls our minds
    Through prayer spiritual warfare
    Through your anger they fuel the fire
    Feeding off of your flesh's sinful desires
    Lies and confusion your faith put to the test
    Focusing in on all of your weaknesses
    We must be vigilant to thwart their evil plight
    Be strong in the lord and in the power of his might
    Be prepared for war

    I've been listening/playing music on an adult level since '60s. I recall my first listen of Led Zeppelin and Queen. This song, not just the vocals. The drums. The guitar. That riff! I'm struggling to compare this to anything prior of merit. Sacred or secular. This could be a new era of metal. SW on the plateau of whole new level. When I think of REAL metal. I think of warfare.I think of steel sharpening steel. I'm a USMC vet and know a little about that. It is not just the music. The message!

    I've known the Sacred Warrior guys since their breakup and went to church with them, I reconnected with Rey in 2005 and now he is getting in touch with my buddies in the metal scene and connecting with my friends from the Goth Metal scene. It is weird talking about you guys in the present tense because when I met all of you the band was in past tense.

    I remember Barron Cross, Rez band opened up for Sacred Warrior back in 1988 in Ocala, FL. and Sacred Warrior played all songs from the Rebellion album. Awesome show from all musicians! I will never forget! I love this album too!😂🤟🎸

      I REMEMBER THAT! I’m from (still in) Ocala. I was in a hard rock band with a Christian message called Heaven’s Axe. Me and my bass player Joe went to that show to get tips from the pros to try to help craft our stage show.

    Jesus said do as I do, and I will give you a helper the Holy Spirit. Jesus raised the dead , cast out demons, healed the sick , made the blind to see, it's not we who do any of this it's him working inside us threw the Holy Spirit. Healing is happening all over the globe don't think God ain't up to something big cause he is , evil is nothing compared to The Lord , evil is frightened by the presence of God in us. Guarantee ya, blessings

    comments people, comments..... Praise worthy please. Eli is a great vocalist. Sacred Warrior is a great band. to sum it up with saying who is great, one thing is needed to be said and that is the deception of the devil, from the beginning of time we hate. I hope to see where this band goes in the future and where Eli goes as well. a great singer like all my favorites from the 90s. may God be glorified.

To JESUS THE CREATOR and SAVIOR be the glory!!
