Bloodgood
Rock In A Hard Place
Originally released in 1988, the third album by Christian Metal giants, Bloodgood, shocked metalheads that were used to full-on head bangin tracks like Black Snake and Crucify. Instead, Rock In A Hard Place showcases some of the most melodic hard rock on the planet! She's Gone is haunting, while Shakin It rocks with reckless abandon, and Seven is a resounding, thunderous finale that hearkened back to the first two albums. While the band no longer sounds like Maiden or Priest, the tracks on Rock In a Hard Place are exquisite, addictive, and as good as any the band has ever written. The 2023 Retroactive Records - Bombworks Sound (Rob Colwell) remaster corrects some of the original album's flaws (almost no low end!), and is housed in a 6-panel, full color booklet in a jewel case. This album is part of the elite Metal Icon Series series for a reason - it's a Christian Hard Rock masterpiece that sounds better now than ever! For fans of Idle Cure, Stryper, and Kiss!
