Back in the 80's, Christian rock/metal was in it's infancy, and there were so many demo tapes circulating through the underground. So many bands, so many songs, and many got signed, and many great ones for some reason did not. One of the most overlooked band’s of the mid 80’s was Crossforce, and now we finally have a CD version of their excellent demo tape plus much more.

Tony Crider had previously appeared on another excellent demo under the band name Golgatha, which featured Adam Adam Alvarez, who later went and played with Valor. The Valor reissue on CD contained that demo tape, and should be acquired for fans of Tony's vocals. Crossforce had a classic metal style led by Tony’s incredible vocals, having great power and enough grit to make for a great metal singer.

Man with a Mission is the second release from this Swedish melodic metal powerhouse band featuring the vocals of Christian Liljegren, who is best known for his work with Narnia and Divine Glory (though he has appeared on so so many other great releases too), and the sweet guitar and vocal work of Tommy ReinXeed, most widely recognized from the few amazing releases with his band ReinXeed.

The first album Glory to My King was given rave reviews worldwide from the melodic metal crowd, and now they are back with an album equally deserving of praise. The formula is the same, so you won't be hit with anything off the wall, just plain and powerful metal in the style that is so prevalent in the euro-metal world. Lyrically there is a slight difference. Both albums are opening, and blatantly in your face Christian in their lyrical content, but this second release feels more mature in that area.
