Old School Christian Rock Bands Quiz

Answer: Stryper

Stryper had the colors yellow and black. Their first album was "The Yellow and Black Attack". I have no idea why they chose these colors, but the band always told you why they chose the name. Isaiah 53:5: 'by his stripes we are healed'.

Answer: Barren Cross

Barren Cross released "State of Control" in 1989. This album put them on the map of Christian metal; they even got a video on MTV with this album. Too bad grunge music was just around the corner and killed it all.

Answer: Bride

Bride wrote the song "Hell No". I love this quote, "We won't go to, Hell No, we won't go". This band had so much potential, just not enough publicity.

Answer: Holy Soldier

Holy Soldier did a great job remaking "Gimme Shelter". It was on their album, "Last Train", released in 1989.

Answer: Mass

Oz Fox, of Stryper, found and produced Mass. Their album, "Voices in the Night", is one I highly recommend.

Answer: Stryper

Tim Gaines was the last member to join Stryper. The other guys in the band knew him from a local band he played with, but Tim was not saved. Well, one night Tim got saved, quit his old band, and it just so happens that Robert and Michael Sweet were going to talk to him the very next day about joing Stryper...Tim took the job.

Answer: Roxx Regime

That was their original name, but they changed it because of the scripture they use, Isaiah 53:5: 'by his stripes we are healed'.

Answer: Shout

Ken was the powerful voice behind "Shout", and that he could do! He is an incredible guitarist also.

Answer: Deliverance

These are just two of the many awesome albums put out by one of Christian metal's most powerful bands!

Answer: Bloodgood

This was an awesome combo. Les had a vocal range that seemed unstoppable and David was a guitar genius. In my opinion, their album "Out of the Darkness" was their greatest. It was released in 1989.
