Honestly, give some chaps a guitar and look what happens. Flotilla of furious, flying fingers as Christendom's finest give it their best. Bloodgood, Whitecross, Stryper, Bride are probably best known, but to my battered ears the honours for passion and power go to somewhat lesser publicised bands X-Sinner, Tourniquet, Believer and the supreme Shout, whose track "In Your Face" puts them in the top league. Whitecross must have panicked when Rex Carroll announced his departure to King James, what a mature craftsman he is. So, good stuff that has a lot of good things to say, leaving no one in doubt that they are saying it.
