You guys (hard rock fans, anyway) really need to check out this album. One of the best albums I've heard in ages. I don't know much about it since I currently only have a download, but I'm actively seeking out a physical copy.

Not much info, but I did buy the CD off of eBay a few days after I posted this, and it is FANTASTIC! Seriously. I listen to CDs way more than downloads, so I've been spinning it non-stop. Played it on the way home from work today, actually.
I know the singer is a Christian dude and has some fairly cheesy Christian music out there. Beyond that, though, I don't know.
Frontiers Records is fast becoming one of my favorites.

I've picked up a bunch of "Rock The Bones" samplers from Frontiers, and I've discovered a whole bunch of good bands from them. The only bad thing is that their production values can be a little iffy by modern standards, kinda grainy sounding. I'm not sure why that is.

Wow, that sounds amazing! I'll definitely pick this up. Frontiers really is one of the best rock labels out there. They released the new Praying Mantis disc as well last year, which is an amazing slab of melodic hard rock/AOR.

The singer, Philip Bardowell, is a Christian and has played w/ Lanny Cordola in Magdalan. He also has done an album w/ Unruly Child and a lot of touring w/ The Beach Boys...he also had a brief stint in Peter Criss' band Criss.
Great voice...and this is a solid Melodic Rock album...

Frontiers really is awesome. I've always been a casual AOR/melodic fan at best, but they've signed a lot of veteran hair metal acts as well that are putting out good albums and I've really liked all the melodic stuff they've done recently too.
