Faith Factor - Anybody Know'Em?

Saw this on Blabbermouth this morning and wondered if anyone here has heard this band, and if so, if they're worth checking out? Their website is kinda skimpy and doesn't have any sound samples that I can find. I haven't heard Deadly Blessing in years but I remember liking what I did hear of them back in the day.

FAITH FACTOR To Release New EP This Week - July 5, 2007



FAITH FACTOR, the New Jersey-based Christian power metal band featuring ex-DEADLY BLESSING singer Ski, will release its debut EP on July 7, 2007 (07.07.07) via Metallic Arch Angel Records. According to a band bio, "with crushing rhythms, soaring melodies and thundering appeal, FAITH FACTOR glorifies our savior and sends a message of eternal salvation through Jesus Christ. FAITH FACTOR uses a different approach utilizing a triple guitar attack, tight bombastic bass and drums, and melodic vocals with an aggressive edge. FAITH FACTOR consists of six musicians with a brotherhood serving our Lord Jesus Christ. Our mission is to spread the good news of salvation to the masses using music and biblically sound lyrics as the tool."

They post quite a bit over at firestream.net, I'm looking forward to this one quite a bit. If you have Temple Of Blood's album, Ski sings the "Deliver us from evil" track. He has a heck of a voice so I'm interested in hearing this one.

Samples here:

sounded ok. need to hear more

Didn't much care for Temple of Blood, think I'll pass.

Looking forward to this!

The only connection to Temple of Blood they have is that Skii sang
guest vocals on one song. They don't necessarily sound like Temple of
Blood. You'd be better off comparing them to Deadly Blessing.

Not really comparing them in terms of sound, more their ideology, Temple, Transfigural Form and Faith Factor seem to espouse an extreme form of conservative fundementalism, something I'm moving away from. I could be wrong on lumping these bands together this way, just what I've noticed from their posting.

Temple's CD is ok for a first effort, would be interesting to see where it goes from there.

FAITH FACTOR are really good friends of mine. Their lead singer Ski used to sing with power metal legends DEADLY BLESSING, of which I am a huge fan. Ski has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard in metal. I asked Ski to sing on a cover version of their song "Deliver Us From Evil" when we recorded it. I also flew up to NJ to hang out with the guys from FAITH FACTOR and listen to their new material. They are very talented and have a great sound and are super nice guys. As was mentioned before, they don't really sound much like my band lyrically or musically. I think they are closer to early QUEENSRYCHE or the heavier STRYPER songs musically. It's really good stuff and personally I can't wait to hear this upcoming EP and the album they are working on for after that.

They recorded a cover version of QUEENSRYCHE's "Nightrider" when they went under a different name, FACTOR FIVE, and it was awesome.
