Kerry Livgren – The Fury

Posted below is a fan video for the Kerry Livgren classic entitled "The Fury".

This little known song is one of the very best Christian rock songs about the book of Revelation and the end times.

It is odd that Kerry Livgren was never fully embraced by the contemporary Christian music community. Considering the secular success that he had experienced with the band Kansas, you would have thought that the Christian rock world would have an arena where Livgren would have had more of an impact.

After all, the music that he made with AD bordered on brilliant at times. It was certainly a cut above what most other Christian bands were churning out at the time.

Check out this video and let us know what you think.....

Ultimately, Livgren experienced a very uneven career in the world of Christian music and his future in the industry is very uncertain at this point.....

Allies – Voice Of The Spirit

A lot of Christian music fans don't even realize that Bob Carlisle was in a successful Christian rock band long before he ever launched his solo career.

That group was called "Allies", and they released 6 albums between 1985 and 1992. The video below is of their single entitled "Voice Of The Spirit" off of the 1987 "Shoulder To Shoulder" album.

Allies did have moments of near greatness, and this song represents one of those moments. Unfortunately, the band was plagued by creative inconsistency, and sometimes even Carlisle's soaring vocals were not enough to lift their albums to commercial success.

But even today Allies still has a committed following. The band had so much promise, and there were moments, such as "Harmony" off of their second album "Virtues" in 1986 that had many fans begging for more.

This could have been one of the truly legendary Christian bands. So why weren't they? Perhaps it was bad breaks, not enough marketing, not enough connections, uneven songwriting.....who can say?

But the truth is that if you love classic Christian rock from the 1980s, then you will find something in the Allies catalog of songs that will thrill you.

Check out this video and let us know what you think of Allies.....

Whiteheart – Maybe Today

Many Christian music fans of today have never even heard of Whiteheart, but the reality is that they are truly one of the most underrated Christian rock bands of all time.

The following video is of Whiteheart performing their hit "Maybe Today" which is off of their "Don't Wait For The Movie" album.

This was the first album for lead singer Ric (who knows how to actually spell his name - he changed it on every album) Florian. He blended nicely with the group right away on this album, and that set the stage for some of their later successes.

The truth is that Whiteheart had some of the most technically proficient musicians in the Christian music industry at the time, and you can see a little of that reflected in this video.

"Maybe Today" was one of the best songs off of "Don't Wait For The Movie", but Whiteheart really caught their stride a couple of albums later on the critically acclaimed "Freedom" release.

Anyway, enjoy this video. It contains a message that is perhaps more timely today than it was then.....
