Tooth & Nail's Solid State imprint has long been the home to some of the finest Christian hard music bands on the planet. In this compilation they set out their stall and display their wares without caution. Not for the faint hearted, there's not a whiff of nu-metal, but there are many gems to be found. Bands featured include Blindside, Zao, Living Sacrifice, Project 86, Stretch Arm Strong, Embodyment. If you are new to the hard music scene this is a great opportunity to find out about 17 bands; if you're not, it's a great mix of some of your faves on one album.
