Christian Metal albums that need proper releases

I was listening to some of the retroactive re-releases of Christian metal albums and thought it would be cool if the following were to make it to a wider audience:

Battlecry Red White and Blue
Chariot Demos 1 and 2
Crossforce Crossforce
Knightriot Beware the Knight
Knightriot Speak No Evil
Knightriot Killing Time
Thresher Totally Possessed
Red Ink Raw Meat
Red Ink Brutal Recompense
Stronghold Fortress Rock
Battalion Battalion
Final Prophecy Rude Awakening
Final Prophecy He Set the Captives Free
First Strike Crank It Up
First Strike 1990 Demo
First Strike Rock of Offense
Angelic Force 1988 Demo
Angelix Angelix
Archangel Archangel
Dual Edge Knock Em Alive
Holy Danger (pre-Tourniquet) One Way + 2 Bonus Tracks
Holy Saint Holy Saint
Malachai Under the Blade
Malachai Red Sunrise
Paradox Power and Glory
Paradox Ruler
Paradox The Wrath

It would be great to see these get proper releases! I would buy them!

WORD BROTHA! I sure would like to see Philadelphia's stuff remastered and re-released too! And not the KMG crap! Even though I'd settle for that!

Messiah Prophet too would be cool.

crossforce's singer died 3 years ago..

First Strike - Rock of Offense

That one was all ready and set to go. It was basically done, but then one of the band members decided that he didn't want it put out. So....on the shelf it went.

Alex you made some great calls there! Paradox, Dual Edge and Malachia are all worth reissuing - among the others you listed!!! Paradox really kicked ass!!!

Anyway - the only ones I can think of that weren't mentioned yet:

Apostle - Chariots of Iron
Apostle - Hymns
Apostle - the rest of their stuff

Thresher is on it's way, but not from Retroactive. I also think Knightriot is on the move. Olaf posted about them, and you know he's promoting bands they are signing!

Thats good about the thresher. Will there be bonus material from their days as lazarus? Who does Olaf release stuff under?

They are such a great band. I remember listening to them the first time and thinking how no one picked them up. It was at the beginning of grunge i think so that is probably why but what a shame totally possessed never made it big...

Definitely would love to see Thresher happen.Another one I'd like to see get a CD release is the Moshketeers-The Downward Spiral.

I've heard so much about the Moshketeers, never heard them though. Never heard of Thresher....thrash?

Holy Danger, Holy Saint, Holy Soldier............Holy smurf poo Batman!

the Moshketeers - The Downward Spiral

That was gonna be my suggestion. I'll also add to the list
Rapture - Vacation from Hell
Red Ink - Brutal Recompense
Red Ink - Raw Meat
Godfear - Fear God

[quote="ultmetal]Red Ink - Brutal Recompense
Red Ink - Raw Meat
[/quote]

Those would be very near the top of my wishlist. I ran into a guy from the band and he signed both my copies of the cdrs I made. Cool guy and crushing thrash!!

Hey fellas,

Apparently Thresher is on the way. They recorded an entire album after Totally Possesed that was never released. They just launched a myspace page a while back with the story. It Looks like Roxx finally tracked them down and is working on the re-issues.
Check it out:

BTW, Ult I think a Godfear re-issue with the Know God demo would be cool. How about Extinction from NM?

Edited away the long link. The correct one follow in the next post anyway.

Sorry about that long link:

You mean EXTRACTION? Yes, that would be awesome! They recorded a full length album that was never released. They were a great band.

As well, Combat Faith from New Mexico had some good material that has only ever been released on cassette tape.

I got some of their stuff:

Combat Faith - 4 song demo

That would be an interesting release.
