Where can I
get the CD?
Recon - Behind enemy lines |
|
This a legendary disc, no doubt about that. The funny thing is that a band
rarely is called legendary by releasing just one single album. That's right this is, beside a livealbum, Recon's only release, by it's one mighty
release! Called Behind Enemy Lines, this one of the most splendid christian heavy metal CD's ever to see the daylight. Their lyrics are top notch telling us about God's grace and the importance of giving our lives to Jesus before it's too late. The singer reminds a bit of Geoff Tate of Queensryche, specially the song Choose this day reminds a lot of Queensryche's Operation mindcrime era. A number of great tracks to be found here, but I specially enjoy Take us away having the following lyrics: If I die tonight, I know that I'll be with you I pray I'd live my life as though you'll come each and every day in a blink of an eye... Though I seem impatient, Lord Jesus come Quickly I just can't wait until that day, I see your face And the lyrics of Chose this day Wasted time my friend, don't you know we're in the bitter end He's coming back again, to save us all from this world of sin. Christ the Saviour, He'll set you free Christ died for sins, come and receive Rise, it's your decision Choose this day whom you will serve Come and confess Him Jesus Christ The only way Ask Him in today Splendid stuff! Combining classical heavy metal with superb lyrics the group has succeded to create a classical piece of heavy metal art. |
