| If you enjoy hard edged Christian metal in the vein of Stryper then rush out right now and get this disc. Solid operatic vocals and shredding guitars highlight this disc. DO NOT HESITATE as this disc is rare.

| I kept hearing good buzz about HS; so, I got their CD. Ah-ight. Not a classic. "The Pain Inside of Me" is one of the best power ballads ever by a Christian band. "Stranger" is good, but WAY too short: It starts strong & dies out. HS tries to be clever with riffs & whatnot, the result usually not working. "We Are Young, We Are Strong" is laughable. Okay, but disappointing. I ended up selling the CD on eBay.

| Fantastic cd. A classic christian metal album to have. Not your typical feel good cd. Some of the songs are very dark, which is good. I have their demo that was out a couple of years before this cd came out. Great production on this album

| This is a Christian Metal classic. Great melodic metal in the Stryper mold, but with better production and riffs. This album has two of the best power ballads in Christian Metal. The only drawback is that the vocalist seems to be at the limit of his vocal range on "Tear Down the Walls" & "Stranger", but he's still good on everything else, especially on "When the Reign Comes Down" and the aforementioned ballads.

Needless to say, most bands that have tried to combine religion with music--be it christian or satanic--never seem to make it to more than cult status. BUT, Holy Soldier is, plainly and simply, A DAMN GOOD BAND!!! "See No Evil" and "When The Reign Comes Down" tear at you with an impressive double-guitar attack to your sences!!!

| I like this album but I like their album Last Train better. This is more straight metal, Last Train is more blues rock based like Cinderella. This by all means is no slouch of an album but they got better on the second time around.

| There should be a CD page for Siloam: "Sweet Destiny." Excellent, melodic hard rock all the way!! Yes, it's a Christian album, but you're crazy if you let that stop you. If you've made room in your collection for the likes of Angelica and Holy Soldier, then Siloam's "Sweet Destiny" should be in there as well. If you find this available somewhere, get it. Don't think it over; just get it. I believe you'll be glad you did.

| A big reason for the excellent production was David Zaffiros( Guitarist formaly of Bloodgood) hand in the Project. A good example of Professionalism through Engineering and Production is the song " The Pain Inside of Me." Other Good tracks are Tear Down The Walls, Lies( which has a cool intro into the solo), When the Reign Comes Down, Stranger, and Love Me. Another good album people dont know about is Steven Patricks- Solo Dubut " Red Reign." Very Rare Album. Very good if you like this album.

| Back in 1990, I sampled "Stranger" at my local Christian music store and I bought the disc 3:25 later. This disc is a Christian Metal Classic. "Love Me" is also a great tune.

| Muy buen heavy melódico influido por Stryper 8,5/10 ,merece la pena
|
| From: Cephas |
Date: November 28, 2003 at 18:08 |
| O.K., I gave this another try: Is it a classic? No--because the band never went anywhere. "Stranger" is still too short; "Pain, etc." is still great. "We Are Young,etc." ain't too bad after all. It is an excellent Hair Metal platter. Steven Patrick's singing sounds way too plaintive by the end. (I don't know why.) The songwriting is quite mature. I mean, was Stryper writing anti-abortion songs? Yes, I was wrong and will have to get it again.

| Rock the hell out of you is an understatement! This album is my commumion. The blindingly fast guitar riffs are remenescent of the angels battling for the triumph of truth. Definitely get this album and drive the demons from your soul. That Cramer Guitar God Rocks! If only he could drive his jeep with such fervor!

| Killer debut from pretty much the only christian band I ever really liked. They knew how to be discreet about getting thier message across and did not ruin thier album with countless references to the lord and savious jesus christ. I am not critisizing anyone's beliefs, just hate having it pushed across in an otherwise decent hard rock song. But Holy Soldier never did that, and this is atmospheric, well played and excecuted melodic hard rock - excellent CD!

| I think that what Geoff says is why Holy Soldier liked a lot of people that were'nt christian. Far away from Stryper, Whitecross...etc, they were a band that touched real things, like "See No Evil", "Eyes Of Innocence".....that created a conscient thought, other band that went like Holy was One Bad Pig (Punk), and it's pretty hard to get.... can anybody help me to get music from them??? 'cause there's no delivery to my country......

| A Christian Metal Classic!! This cd will stay in your cd player for a long time. Musically they ranked up there with the best secular bands. Also, their video was played on MTV but the record company did not push them as they should have been. Holy Soldier's (original members)are getting back together check out: www.holysoldierfan.com for more info.

| All I can say is WOW! This guy can sing. An unbelievable CD, it's hard to explain how good this guy can sing. I'm not talking about vocal acrobatics, I'm talking about having "The Gift" of a great singer, putting words to music. 10 out of 10 IMO.

| A great album by a great band. It's one of the most melodic albums I've ever heard, if not the most melodic. I'm not much a fan of the song 'Eyes Of Innocence', but the rest was top stuff. 'We Are Young, We Are Strong' is not only my favorite Holy Soldier song, but one of my all time favorite songs. It's very emotional and rocks the hell out of me! Strong melodies, killer vocals and excellent song writing makes this album a winner. One of my favorite albums. I highly recommend it!

| I see some average Bands here in the top 100 and quality stuff like this has only three votes. Sorry, but this shows the incompetence of some people here. This is first class hardrock, melodic metal with balls, and a special sharp voice of Steven Patrick. With the help of DAVID ZAFFIRO they made one of the best albums in the white metal genre.

| They have the look,they have the talent,they have the songs!!!...this is a great album with solid songs ("See No Evil"&"Tear Down The Walls","When The Rain Comes Down" among others...)but probably the lack of promotion affected their musical status (Stryper-the closest comparison to Holy's-won the credits and with the right credits,be aware of this).Anyway, a band that still persists with some concerts here & there but still is completely underrated,shamely...80/100

| Awesome enough to make a Baptist minister exclaim, "Holy shit, this is f*cking good!" Not just a great Christian melodic metal album, but a great melodic metal album, period. The hooks on here are smoking hot, the guitars sizzle like a Hell-roasted heretic, the choruses are loaded with layers of backing vocals, Steven Patrick's singing is powerfully unique, and the production sounds like the entire budget of the Vatican was poured into it. If the white-metal movement was an army, these guys deserved to be leading the charge, as it simply doesn't get much better than this.

| Few albums are really "perfect". But, I honestly can't think of a way this album could be improved. Even the production is great, and that is unusual for Christian releases. It is actually a pity this wasn't released sufficiently to the general market as it may have made a dent. Stranger is a killer opening track that highlights the incredible vocal range of Steven Patrick. The band had a competent rhythm section that kept the songs chugging away at a quick pace. There is a lot of variety between tracks on the pace and the hooks (always there). When the Reign Comes Down has a really different sound which keeps it very interesting even after repeated listens. The album ends with actually the best song We are Young We are Strong. Great chorus, excellent guitar pyrotechnics. A perfect release. Essential even if you don't like Christian bands.
