Synopsis

Product Description

Straight Ahead, their second album, was originally released in 1983 on Refuge Records. In April, 2003, Retroactive Records re-issued on a single disc both Straight Ahead and Run For the Darkness, but quickly sold out of all 1000 copies of this Limited Edition '2-for-1' re-issue. Sustained strong demand for these classics resulted in the May, 2006, digitally re-mastered Limited Edition (only 1000 made) re-issue of each album separately. While adhering to well entrenched melodic metal formulas, Tony Rossi forged his own style, e.g. the haunting melody of 'In My Mind,' the visceral attacks of 'Lustful Illusions,' and the high energy in-yer-face 'Reality.' These songs will blow you away with the melodic mentality of Kiss, but the ability to rock you out like AC/CD. Fans of Rez, Barnabas, Jerusalem, Ted Nugent, Rush, Triumph and all fans of quality arena hard rock will wecome its availabilty once again for a short time. This single disc re-issue also features two previously unavailable bonus tracks from their original 1980 demo.

CD Reviews

Classic Christian rock masterpiece

J. Mccormack | Virginia Beach, Virginia United States | 02/27/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Daniel band, hailing from Canada, have been rocking it hard since the early 80's, before the big boom of rock/metal hit the states. The true fathers of hard rock/metal belongs to them, Jerusalem, Barnabas and the like. I discovered them during the "Run from the Darkness" era (the album following this one), and quickly grabbed up copies of this and the previous release "On Rock." The first three releases are engrained in my brain because they are such classics from my early days of Christian rock. A must have release of classic Christian hard rock.

I played in a Christian metal band in late 80's, and we covered many Daniel Band tunes, along with Barnabas, Philadelphia and the like."
