Rock N Metal Faith: A Christian Rock Music podcast

Holy Soldier’s debut is a defining work of Christian Metal. In this episode, Arin Hancock and Kris Plamondon delve into the legacy of Christian metal band Holy Soldier, focusing on their first two albums. Both albums were produced by David Zaffirro, from their debut pop metal masterpiece to their sort of subdued bluesy Last Train, and both set standards in the scene. While Holy Soldier had problems behind the scenes and personal changes, they were an incredible band live. As usual, we have news and listener feedback.
