Just wondering if anyone out there is familiar with this long-lost 80s Christian Metal band? They were from Alberquerque (did I spell that right) and METAL FROM ABOVE is their 1986 demo tape pressed to CD by Steel Legacy Records in Greece. (with a few bonus live songs added) The sound quality is a little rough (but not bad considering it's a 21-year-old demo tape), but it's pretty good stuff, very similar to Maiden and Fates Warning. The packaging is very nice, excellent cover art (see below), full lyrics, and a short essay on the band's history by Dave Muttillo (of WHITE THRONE and POWERLINE magazine fame). Thought some of y'all might want to check it out. Find out more at http://www.steel-legacy.com

I'm familiar with them. I would love to have this on CD. Is it available yet? I've heard that people who pre-ordered it are still waiting.

I got mine from Stormspell Records (http://www.stormspell.com ) last week, so he's got'em in stock right now!

He may not have added them to his site since he told me he only had a "small amount of copies" but I'm sure you can find his contact info on the site at least.

The CD is a limited edition of 1000, but since I dunno how many Iordan at Stormspell has, you might wanna act fast!

I can't believe I'm saying this - but I've never heard of em. I was big time into the christian metal scene at the the time and I thought I knew every band. A Maiden/Fates Warning sound? sounds good - anyoen got a link to the myspace page?

Hey Keith,
thanks for spreading the word about my distro around! I really do appreciate your help and support!

Yeah, I have about 4 copies of CROSS left in stock at the moment and Kostas should have shipped to me 20 more today.

All e-mail regarding Cross which I believe came from this board has been answered, cheers and thank you for your support! 🤘

Oops, forgot to post some mp3 samples I do have:

http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/12/6/471562/Turbolister/CROSS_2007_02.mp3
http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/12/6/471562/Turbolister/CROSS_2007_03.mp3

Those are lo-fi 64kbps mp3pro 2 minutes excerpts not really great, but should give you an idea what Cross sounds like.

Hey Iordan, how are you? Good to see you over here!

I've ordered from ya many times, and nothing but excellent service every time! My last order was for Bifrost, Gama Bomb, and Mactep (Master).

Been trying to get these guys over to your sight to order that Gama Bomb disc! With it being a limited press, and a really speed / thrash band besides, that thing isn't going to be around for long!!

Hey Ben,
How you doing? Nice to see you here man!

Yeah, I believe Cheryl pressed only 1000 Gama Bombs. I'm not sure how good it has been selling at her end, will ask next time I trade with her (which should be very soon as I need some of the Pyovelli CDs she put out).

I'm way overdue on the site update, been burning candle from both ends recently with no spare time for anything else. Hope to make one big update soon with tons of $6.99 sale titles to clean up some space. I'll get into gear on that soon coz I'm heading to Europe for the summer as usual and can use all extra cash I can get Smile

Darn IT! I hate it when this happens, and it is of no fault of mine. I clean out my inbox and spam box every day. This is a setting from my internet suppliers that have to be manually changed by me on some occasions. I just never know why, becasue I donæt get the message you get to my email address. So I usually never know when it is happening. Well, I'll go ahead with the payment.

I remember Cross from back in the day. I can't remember if I reviewed them for White Throne or not. Unfortunatley my stash of issues that I have are not in the easiest place of accessability.... Sad

I keep thinking I've heard 'em but I don't remember. There were a lot of tapes coming into the Throne back then.

I tried to play the mp3's but kept getting error messages... Sad ... I pretty blown away that someone is actually releasing this on cd....

did you use to write in white throne? what's your name? i have most of its issues. yeah, that's where i found cross! with one great photo that was used for these releases. i grabbed their demo by sending $5 to their adress back then. yeah, i'm also proud that i helped for that release when their bassist found me and brought him in touch with my brothers in steel legacy...expect soon some new releases no one ever heard of them, even from white throne....sword in hand, metal from above!

I have one issue of White Throne, the issue with Larry Farkas on the
cover. Classic cover! Great issue. Almost had Larry sign it while I was
in Once Dead but had already had him sign all sorts of stuff and was
beginning to feel silly asking him to sign so much stuff. LOL! What can
I say, I might have been in the band but I was still a big 'ol fanboy.

It's too bad the recording quality is so poor. These guys were great in their time.

Links are still working. I'll be removing them soon, though, coz I'm totally out of Cross CDs in stock.

It's amazing that these guys didn't get signed. But due to oversaturation, alot of these good bands fell through the cracks.
