holy soldier see no evil
holy soldier see no evil reaction
Easily one of the most underrated record of the era. Killer top to bottom.
This song is from the perspective of an unborn baby about to be murdered in its mothers womb.
this song still gives me goosebumps 34 yrs later right before and when the killer solos kick in.. gets me every time... love the groove, too.. Great song, good debut album! I wore that cassette out
When the Reign Comes Down
Stranger
Lies
See No Evil
We are Young, We are Strong
Cry Out for Love
Tear Down the Walls
and one of the ballads is decent too: The Pain Inside of Me
It's a solid, late 80s album
6.7/ 10
it has some gems
These guys and Rage of Angels were absolutely killer.
Yes and barren cross. Then impelleterri came along and beat them all
OK Shane. You want the back story? You got it. - PART 1 - (part 2 continues on your review of RECON, Behind enemy lines) So funny you mention for STRYPER to "watch out" for Holy Soldier. Actually they were torn from the same cloth of sorts. Both Stryper and Holy Soldier were Managed and backed financially by Daryn Hinton, who's family was involved in "Hollywood" for many years. Another main reason why these two bands were connected in the same family , as it were, is because they both were involved in a "rock and rock church" back in the 80's called "Sanctuary", that basically started from a bible study at the Sweet's house in La Mirada in the early 80's. I found out about Sanctuary after attending a Stryper concert in September of '84. This church was pastored by long haired Steve Valdez, leading packs of long haired rockers and head bangers that no other church wanted. Because of this, many musicians started going there and therefore was saturated with many musicians that had the pick of the litter to form a band. Many, many bands were formed there or met there. Eventually Sanctuary released complication albums called "California Metal" that featured many of the bands that were "born" there. Some of the bands that originated there were Stryper, Barron Cross, Neon Cross, Recon, Eternal Ryte, Holy Soldier, Crystavox, Emerald, Holy Rite, Guardian, Deliverance, Vengeance Rising...and the list goes on. The original singer for Holy Soldier, formed in 1985, was Robbie Brauns. For reasons that I am not aware of, Robbie was not a part of the band by the time Holy Soldier recorded their first album in 1990. In 1986 ish, I use to attend a bible study at Andy Robbins house, the founder of Holy Soldier. Robbie was at that time no longer with the band and they were looking for a singer. Hey !! I sing !! So back to Daryn Hinton. Because she was the manager for the band, regardless of how well I knew the boys from the band, I was still required to provide a head shot, demo tape, Bio...blaw blaw blaw, which I didn't have. And with all the "red tape" ahead of me, a try out rehearsal was nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, (Sanctuary) I heard that George Ochoa, founder of the band RECON was also looking for a singer. Hey!! I sing!! He gave me a demo tape of a song that had no lyrics yet. He told me to write lyrics to this song and I'll schedule a rehearsal in a couple of weeks. REALLY!!!?? Goodbye Holy Soldier tryouts! RECON, here I come. So I wrote the lyrics to the song and named it "Break Out". After the tryout, I was informed that they were looking for something more like a "DIO" type voice and I had more of a Bon Jovi-ish type range. So.....needless to say, I didn't get the gig. Also Holy Soldier went on to find Steven Patrick, who ended up replacing Robbie and recording the same album you heard today. The story didn't end there for me though. As the story goes, after my try out with RECON, George mentioned that they were also looking for a rhythm guitar player, and if I knew anyone to let him know. Hey !! I play guitar !! News to George, he then gave me another tape to learn a handful of original songs. He rescheduled another rehearsal as a rhythm guitar player a few weeks later. As luck would have it, I got that gig and became the rhythm guitar player for RECON that basically started in 1987 and lastest many years to come. (more on this later). We recorded our first DEMO in that year that included four songs. The DEMO let Sanctuary know that we were ready to submit a song for their compilation album. So we went into the studio, recorded two songs, and those two songs, "Light the fire" and Dreams" were released on the "California Metal - Volume II" album in 1988. Those two songs then caught the eye of Capitol's, Intense Records. We went on to record and release our first full album in 1990 called "Behind Enemy Lines". - (part 2) of this story will take place on Shane's first listen to RECON's - Behind Enemy Lines. ~Eddie Starline

I happened to come across Recon when i was in college. It was at this local record store and I bought it on cassette tape and wore it out.
@@bradclemons4134 So great to see comments like this. It was such a pleasure to share and touch people's lives through the Gospel and music during that part of our lives. Wished we continued and made more music. Keep the fire burning !!
This guy was a beast on the mic. His voice is so haunting.
Really enjoyed your review. This album remains one of the best metal albums I’ve ever heard (regardless of the “Christian” label). At the time, I was very devout (young and easily lead). Over the years, I found my own peace and steer clear of most religious avenues, however, good music is good music and this band was indeed GREAT. Composition and songwriting was top notch. Stephen’s vocals…. Ahhhhhh. SO clear, strong and emotional. I’m happy this band played a big part in my teenage years. I’m 50 now. Wow. 🤘
I watched a interview with the lead guitarist the other day with this band and he took a job with the railroad as insurance way back when the Last Train album came out in 1992 if the band didn't make it big...very smart because now he is almost retired after working with the railroad making big money with huge benefits ...Not many musicians played their future out early in the game and lost big when their popularity took a dive
David Zaffiro from Bloodgood produced this album.
Their first album was great!
So was their second!
Love this album - strong debut. Still a regular listen. They also get my nod for best looking Christian metal band.
I was gonna hit Like bc of the first sentence , but then u sounded gay
@@vaekkriinhart4347 Just an observation.
Seen these guys live at Cornerstone. The drum solo was something I’ll never forget. He used those oversized plastic kid baseball bats!!! And it sounded impeccable!!
I was there too! was awesome!
I so appreciate your objective view of Christian artists. Holy Soldier was a great band. The lead singer is now a country artist. This is an anti abortion song.
Yes anti-murder song
The slaughting of millions in the womb
First 2 albums are absolutely amazing!!
It’s criminal that this album wasn’t more widely heard… it’s that good.
This song has always reminded me of the movie The Lost Boys from back in the day
Right?!?!
In case you are wondering the song is about an abortion through the eyes of the child being aborted. I used to be friends with the lead singer, back a while ago. Clever use if words. I love the song.
Great Band!
Bought the album when it came out, I was in college.
Christian rock rules ❤
So many good Christian hard rock bands. Idle Cure sounds like 80s Kiss , the Paul Stanley side, check out their song Breakaway
I think Idle Cure more closely matches the sonic ground of Def Leppard minus the excessive reverb and over dubbing.
By 91 this band was advertising for a new singer. I know because I answered the ad, met the drummer at a Burger King parking lot to play my cassette demo in his car. He commented that I sounded like Vince Neil and that was it. Obviously they wanted someone like their current singer.
Other Christian bands to check out: X-Sinner, Armageddon, Saint, Trytan, Haven, Final Axe, Daniel Band, Stairway, Recon, Seventh Angel, Zion, Recon, Angelica, Joshua, Fires Of Babylon, Rob Rock, Ultimatum, Die Happy, Red Sea, Novella, Scarlet Red, Philadelphia, Jerusalem, Kreyson, Signum Regis, Narnia, Adastasia, Heel, Oratorio, Saviour Machine, Audiovision, ReinXeed, Golden Resurrection, Neal Morse Band, Theocracy, Detritus, Rage Of Angels, Impellitteri, Messiah Prophet
Seventh Angel "Lament for the Weary" for sure. classic!
and Jerusalem "Dancing on the Head of the Serpent" !
He already listened to SAINT "Time's End"
No one mentions STRYKER lol "Crush the Head of Satan"
they are garage band but that song is kinda cool
Yes. Impelleteri rules
Fantastic album
I have this album. Great band ! The guitarist had a cool camouflaged Charvel guitar.
I have all HOLY SOLDIERS CDS
Holy fuckaroni! The music is great!
Let’s do Holy Soldier. LIES. Good song.
Promise Man is a great album, as long as you don't compare it to the first two. It is a totally different direction and could easily be a different band.
Excellent album!!
Im lucky to be in touch with the entire band, also had jamie cramer on my podcast, which can be found on my channel
I saw them in the mid 90’s. It wasn’t the original singer but it was still good. It was around the time grunge was taking over. The crowd wasn’t very big. Small venue, there was actually a choir band playing after them, we left after Holy Soldier did there set…
Great reaction...you always have me rolling. :) Great song choice David. Shane, there are some VERY notable exceptions that you have yet to do from around this era. Shout/Ken Tamplin, Ransom, The Crucified, Believer, One Bad Pig, Haven, Armageddon, and a few others immediately come to mind. You might get a request for one of those! And also, Whiteheart? How did that get in there?
Don't forget Jerusalem! No one has reacted to them ever on the internet! Shane could be the first to check out something off Warrior.
How could I forget. Plus all the hard rock Pakaderm/Elefante artists. Also, who is going to be courageous enough to request the band that started it all..... Sprinklerhead!! :D
@@seanc2788 Dang. Ive been pushing for Jerusalem since thd Leviticus reaction. "Dancing on the Head of the Serpent" would be my pick.
Or... Haven. Remember them? From _Age of Darkness_ either The track "Divination" or "Holly" I am thinking.... .
David.. what are your thoughts on the title track from Your Dying Day? I was about to put that in next.
I found you kinda missed the message behind it. The unborn child was crying out.. and people choose to not listen to the abortion, murder.
Hear no evil… is a powerful song.
Yet another great debut album. Why is it so hard for many bands to keep getting better from there on?
because they had several years to create n fine- tune those first 10 songs.. After that, they have only a few months to create new songs for another album,.. But sometimes, the sophomore effort is way better, like Barren Cross or Motley Crue.. or, Ratt..
Always thought he sounded like Terry illous of XYZ, loved this album, the second one as well where they did the Stones cover.. Eyes Of Innocence is another great one
That song was in the 1987 Vampire movie: LOST BOYS.
I really thought these guys would be another Stryper, for some reason they didn't blow up like I thought they would. Such a talented band.
Believer - Sanity Obscure
Best 1990s thrash record. Check them out.
Good jam
True because Extraction from Mortality was released in the 80's if I am not mistaken.
Great crit! Holy soldier were supposed to be the next stryper of o remember correctly. Their first album was released on both secular and Christian labels. But I could be wrong.i love vocals of Steven Patrick . Almost led zeppelin quality.
Yes. The debut was released via A&M Records and Myrrh Records.
@@terrymiller7533 awesome! Thank you for that! Great first and second albums!
@@Sevliandroidd that 2nd album was not so good bro
Stryper's former manager and backer used to manage Holy Soldier.
amazing band, anazing album, amazing song
I remember the first album, see no evil was about abortion.
Yes, it is very powerful.
Exacto fue de las primeras bandas en oponerse al aborto
@DouglasVillarrealVera more bands had some songs, (barren cross killers of the unborn ).,
You need to check out Narnia and Rob Rock if you havent already.
I’m gonna chime in, When The Reign Comes Down is my fave song off this album. This has to be second. Great tune! I may still have the cassette. lol
I love your channel….
Love holy soldier..
Not Tyrant, although a great song from Judas Priest's 2nd album Sad Wings Of Destiny, but you're probably thinking of Trytan.
Great bend, they should have done more!
Great album. The lead singer Steven Patrick sung on the 1st two albums then left. He released a solo album in the mid 90's. He's now a country style singer.
He and Keel as well.
His solo albums, including Red Reign, are being remastered FINALLY!
He used to work at the same company I worked for in the 90's.
It was called Dangerous Threads and we sold rock and roll flashy clothes to metal, country, and wrestlers....lol
Great song and great band. Holy Soldier released the best album first (Holy Soldier 1990) and then went downhill from there. Second album (Last train 1992) was good but after that they released two albums that I have only listened through only once (Promise Man, Encore). DVD from 2006 (Live, Rare and Raw) is great again because it’s mostly about those two first albums.
Great song...
Should listen to them live on the Encore Album. Features both lead vocalists.
A very powerful song.
Good stuff here buddy
WE ARE NOT ASHAMED by LUST CONTROL a great CD, play the song VIRGINITY DISEASE by LUST CONTROL
I played the letters of this tape great record
Amo el álbum " last train" de Holy soldier , realmente es, a mí gusto, una gran obra!!
Again!! Holy Soldier was way better than Stryper!!
i have always loved this band and this song ....most people don't realize this is an anti abortion song ...life should be loved and valued .
Here again. !!!! Whiteheart .. Unchained….. good one. Brother.
Watched again.
Watched again. Love it
And again
Again
Again
I used to listen to them but never saw them live..
Thanks!
Thank you Robert!
Saw these lads once back in the day at The Roxy….
forgot about this band. actually own this CD
If no one has said it, it's about abortion
Request for some Believer, Trillogy Of Knowledge. Thanks
awesome Bro.
Daniel band
You’re animated as Hell with a Jack Black vibe to ya 😂
This is a song about abortion from the perspective of the baby. :( This song tears me up and still blows me away since the album came out!
The following link has an interview with Jamie Cramer- one of the original members of Holy Soldier. Supposedly when they were looking for a singer after the orginal singer left, Kelly Hanson (Foreigner) and Jani Lane (Warrant) had auditioned for the band but it wasn't the right fit. ruclips.net/video/sMLDAxeIZYc/видео.html
great album
If you missed the message, it is talking about abortion. He sang from a babies pov
Check out Allies - Devil Is A Liar . sounds like it could have been a Sammy Hagar song
That would be our second Allies song, too. I'm for it!
So, not sure if you have covered them yet, kinda same era,,,,far my fav chritian band at the time..... "The Brave" Check out tracks Tears of a Broken Heart, All Together Now; Ride The Rhythm, etc. Thanks for the content as usual.
I was a SAINT fan. But that was with Josh Kramer.
I think Guardian would of been next after Stryper as far as popularity.
Wonderful band. Came out of Los Angeles in the late 80s. Had a distribution deal with A&M Records. First two albums are fantastic-amazing vocals and songwriting. Two great guitar players and a solid rhythm section. They should have been huge but were late to the game. They choose a lead single (well, their first video anyway) that is brilliant but is controversially about abortion. The song begins getting airplay on MTV until the channel realizes what the song is about, and then it disappears. Their first album isn’t released until 1990 and by the time the second one comes out (1992’s Last Train) Grunge has already gotten a strong foothold. They don’t get good support from their label on their second album-no tour support, and are told they must tour the record or they’ll be dropped. Internal strife tears this band apart on that tour and the band parts ways with Steven Patrick (vocalist) near the end of the tour. They completely retool for their third album which only contains two of the original 5 band members from the first album, and one of the guitarists from the second record. It’s a radical departure from their signature sound. Good but may as well have been a different band. That’s Holy Soldier in a nutshell. For me, their first two records are among the very best in the genre. Better than anything Crue, Ratt or Poison ever released for sure, and it kills me that they aren’t more of a household name.
Check out : Reign Come’s Down
Great band but could never live up the hype the magazines were through at them. They were labeled as the next Stryper. My two favorite songs on the self titled album are Tear Down the Walls and When the Reign Comes Down. This is a good song as well. Touchy subject matter.
Musicianship is excellent
React to Antestor.. any song
...and just so listeners know...the song is from the perspective from an unborn child.
brilliant album
soulful and powerful
Love these guys. But Impelleterri and Stryper were tops
the worst part about this video is you didn't read the words or talk about what this song is about.
🔥🔥🔥
I very quickly went through the comments and yea, great album. Also, very strong anti-abortion song.
Do Jacob's dreams, theater of war!!!!
Hey hey. Im sure I've heard this one before... Heh. From the first album all the songs are great. It's so difficult to pick one. The second, "Virtue and Vice" from last week and the title track "Last Train"-- the time when doing the same formula of arena rock, hair metal just wasn't going to cut it anymore
Live? Terry Russell's drum solo with wiffle bats. Not something one sees often, if ever.
Do Tourniquet The Tomb of Gilgamesh, it is a very creative song.
Barren Cross Dying Day album
Can you please do a reaction to
"Self Destruction" by Bloodgood???
Gonna do it for ya my friend, hold tight, it is gonna be a bit but it will be up!~
@@ShaneDiablo Thank you, You Rock 🤘🤘🤘🤘
“They might get a swan award!” 😂
One of these days, you've got to do "Once And For All," by Disciple.
This song is obviously about abortion. Very hot topic right now with elections coming up and the recent SC ruling. Great song and band. Other great songs not mentioned are The Pain Inside Of Me, When the reign comes down, Eyes of Innocents, and Last Train. I was not that thrilled with the third CD. It may have been a different lead singer. They tried that mid 90's sound but it didn't work.
Love your facial reactions.
The absolute best holy soldier song , ever ever , ever , EVERrrrr.... !!! Is actually a cover song. The rolling stones gime shelter! Once you listen to that mother with good head phones on at level 10 you will never go back to the original again!
Not just harder musically but in every way better, much better! I think holy soldier had a lot of talent especially the singer from their first records. Songwriting maybe not quite as much.
Doesn't hold up well as other artists of the genre.
As good as great whites cover of babe I'm going to leave by Zeppelin is so much better than the original so is holy soldiers cover of gimme shelter.
Peace.
Steven Patrick has an AMAZING voice. Where is he?????
Stephen Patrick now does country music I don’t even know if he’s a Christian artist anymore you can find his videos on RUclips
ruclips.net/video/sTlV65l7s1Q/видео.html
Because he chopped his penis off and now goes by the name of stevie odonnell as a post op transsexual. I don't think it ticks the Christian box anymore. She married a female from the UK. Last Halloween. Mind blown?
From this álbum, stranger is my favorite song 💪💯
Holy Soldier's first 2 albums were great; but their 3rd "Promise Man" sucked. Like they completely changed their style and it wasn't very good, IMO. This is a band was so under rated, even their live shows didn't have much people. Did people just not like them, or were they not marketed well? I shared their music with my friends back in the day, and they liked them.
I had the debut album when it came out n loved it. Their 2nd album kinda sucked but had a great cover of The Stones' "gimme shelter" (its fantastic!)... and after that, I don't know what happened to them.
u asked
If you haven’t figured it out by now this song is about abortion.
Holy Soldier first 2 albumns were great. I always enjoy them.
