Jesus and Metal. Nothing better! God Bless you all!

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

My great uncle is in this band they are so good my great uncle is Steve Watkins he was my grandpa bob watkins brother They are such an awesome band

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!!

One of my favorite songs

the riffage and high notes! Holy Holy indeed!

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

SO many of these bands were unknown to the general metal crowd. California radio stations played them, though.

the scream at 2.48 is beyond description!!

Anthony Jimison ....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.

BEST CHRISTIAN METAL BAND EVER!!!!

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!

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!

This won't stop playing in my head. The chorus is stuck in my head. The ending guitar riff too.

Wow! First time I've heard of Sacred Warrior. It won't be the last. Guys,rock on for Jesus!

Absolutely amazing guys! I'm a band teacher at a high school. Guess what my kids had to listen to today? Tony and Bruce, miss you both!

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.

Praise The Lord in The Highest!! Jesus Is Lord! Yes!!! Thank you.... Rockin!!!

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

Better than the 80’s and 90’s-if that’s even possible. AMAZING!

Bruce has to be one of the best creative guitar players in Christian metal.🎸🎸

My favourite guitarist in all of christian metal.. Love the Randy Rhoads influence!

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.

So it's the highest note I have heard .I think it's higher than Michael sweet .extremely impressive!!!! Love this song .How could anyone not watch this .Top 10 song here .Amaizing !!! All are equally good here 👍

Literally can’t stop listening to this masterpiece 🔥

Just stumbled across this from out of nowhere. I have not heard hide nor hair from Sacred Warrior in 20 years or more. This sounds FANTASTIC.

this guitar riff at the beginning is just amazing

Heavenly metal!!

I can NOT believe it! Sacred Warrior putting out a new album?!?!? I am SO STOKED!

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.

Awesome Vocals.The Band is really tight also

Do we all FULLY GRASP how AWESOME this is??!! New Sacred Warrior!! They have truly come up with a TREMENDOUS cd--The 1st cd of new material in 22 YEARS!! The heaviest Warrior EVER!! Not even the departure of Ray Parra on vocals could detour this powerhouse cd!! I LOVE the BOLD lyrics for Christ !! Instead of sitting on the fence,they tore it down and erected a cross!! The " Sacred Challenge" is hereby thrown down--Buy the physical cd from the band's site!!!!!

it's good to see old christian bands come back and remind us how good christian metal was and how it can still draw the unsaved people to Christ. These band are so creative and thier lyrics are so real you can feel the holy spirit talking to you and waking our minds in this wicked world will live in.Victory in Jesus over darkness!!!

Heavenly Heavy Metal Blessings!!!

I can write . Drummer is really fantastic !!! Singer stands alone here . Love the words .Fits me . Drummer and me would jell . God bless .

Sacred Warrior has been and always will be one of my favorite bands, and this song and the upcoming album just add to my appreciation for thier desire to serve God and make great music. I will buy two or three copies of the new CD so I can give some away.

One of my favorite Christian metal songs of all time,the vocals,guitar and drums on this song and meaning wow

I have loved them for years.

This is true metal .praise God for your talent !

This is the best Scared Warrior album and song of all time! 🎧❤️ With the best scream ever!

Killer vocals. ...got a range like Halford

it's great to see Bruce Swift using that same guitar sound that puts a mark on Sacred Warriors heavy intense sound.Heavy and clean and the vocals are easy to hear the words.

This is without a doubt rockin! On par with Queensryche album that just came out. Best music I've heard in a long time

2:48 blows me away every time

im athieat but i love christian metal descovered on acident recently, there amazing especielly this band incredible voice is incredible

Praise God for christian metal! So wonderful to see people using the talent he has given them to glorify him!!!

Ex christian from the early 80s. I still own a very extensive collection of Christian Hard Rock and Metal dating back to the late 70s to mid 90's. Though I no longer believe in God I still enjoy listening to the old bands.

Still love this band👍👍👍keep on rocking guys🎹🎸🎤🎧

Wow!!! Great RighteousRockShowNation and Tv posted this... Awesome very talented band!!! Thank you for sharing!

Vocals are not live, notice at very end the lead vocals are still going after he closes his mouth, it’s all pre recorded vocals, probably edited to,

This is much better than anything I haved heard in a very long time. Master's Command and Wicked Generation were just auditions by comparison. If this is their last release, They released a classic gem that will rank right up there with Deliverance's Weapons release from 1990. Great metal with a solid message. And, I'm addicted to this vid.

Incredible! I have been hoping to find a Christian band like this. Amazing performance, from all members. Very well polished, clean sound. I am so impressed.

AWESOME BAND!!!!! EXCELLENT HEAVY METAL CLASSIC

Victory In Jesus name!!!

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.

Wow, my favorite band is back. I love it! Keep it Holy brothers! Fellow Christians, don't pirate other Christian's music for very long, (except to help substitute for the horrible things children listen to) make sure these truly deserving brothers and sisters can make a decent living glorifying GOD eloquently and making our lives fuller with their songs, download if you must but buy ASAP. To JESUS THE CREATOR and SAVIOR be the glory!!

God bless heal save and forgive you amen

You guys are awesome! In Jesus name!

That was utterly AMAZING!

Great stuff. I like how the second half of the song doesn't just mindlessly continue in the same vein as the first half. The groove changes as they explore new realms musically. This is a sign of great composers.

If you doubt this singer, go to 2:50 and your jaw will drop

excellent, glory to God ! Hail from Brazil !

This album rocks. Thanks for keeping it heavy and true to Christ. Can't wait to see a tour date. Welcome Eli. Just great.

Awesome Christian Rock!!

Beyond expectations. Awesome!

So glad I found this. I was a big metal head when I was lost in the world before I was saved by Christ. I like a lot of Christian music but I still long for guitar solos and heavy music. I was in the gym when I found this and it made my day. Awesome music! Christ is King!
