Christian Band Stryper to cover Black Sabbath
Saw this morning (oddly enough as I was getting ready for Church myself) a story that surprised me a little. The Christian metal band Stryper's new album will be an album of covers. That kind of thing has been done a few times before, most recently Queensryche's album of covers "Take Cover", where they covered Sabbath's Neon Knights. I found it amusing that Stryper is covering Sabbath too, and the Dio Era as well with the title track of "Heaven & Hell".
I know a lot of Black Sabbath fans see "Christian Metal", and check out, but that's a shame. Stryper has done some great stuff over the years, and you should check 'em out. Yes, I am a Christian too, so the message is far more uplifting than the garbage that permeates hard rock and metal music (Yeah, I'm thinking of drek like Slayer). Anyway, you should check 'em out if you haven't done so - some of their recent output (Murder by Pride & Reborn) has been quite good stuff! They preach the good word of the Lord, and that's always a good thing! I realize I'll probably take some grief for this paragraph, but there's far worse things to be hated over than wanting people to know God. If you want to attack me for that, bring it on. Or if you want to know about God, email me about that, I'd love to talk to you. As for those who would attack me.. Matthew 5:10 states "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Thanks to Blabbermouth for the track list, which didn't appear on the Stryper site, oddly enough.

W.E.T. replacement at Melodicrock Fest 2 announced
This announcement made at http://www.melodicrock.com/ today - Mon. 8th March.
MELODIC ROCK FEST UPDATE:
I am very pleased to announce that New Jersey rockers Trixter will be joining the MelodicRockFest 2 event for Sunday May 2. The guys have not played in the Chicago region for 14 years and will bring a true “best of” set to fans gathered.
Tickets available now via: http://www.melodicrockfest.com/
Thanks for the terrific support following the frustrating MRF2 update and the loss of W.E.T. and Eclipse from the bill. No more bad news! It's great to see most folks are in for the event, not just one artist in particular. Tune in for more updates.
A few people have asked after tickets - they had to be re-designed with the updated line-up and should arrive back from the printers at the end of this week – to be shipped out first thing next week.
