Synopsis

Product Description
Nineteen Eighty Seven is a completely new recording of the original Self-Titled Whitecross. It contains all the original songs except for YOUR MINE, but has 2 additional bonus tracks. Love on the Line from the 6.98 Love on the Line EP, and a new Guitar Solo/Song by Rex Carroll called Re:Animate. This original version also contains a four hidden out take-tracks at the end of the disc. That makes a total of six bonus tracks!
In 1987 Whitecross took the Christian Metal Scene by storm, delivering what would soon become one of the most talked about and highly collectible recordings in the Christian metal market. Scott Wenzel and Rex Carroll created a duo like few before them, breaking ground in the Christian metal scene that opened up the door for a flurry of bands. Often compared to the secular mainstream band RATT, Scott's vocals were new and fresh in Christian music, and Rex's blazing guitar work put Whitecross on the map for good. Whitecross continued through out the 80's and 90's making music and releasing some 12 recordings with drummer Mike Feighan, as well as many other musicians. Now Rex, Scott and Mike would like to take you back to a time when Metal still reigned. Whitecross Nineteen Eighty Seven is a completely new recording of the original Self-Titled Whitecross, but bigger, louder and better than ever.

Awesome re-record!!!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I loved Whitecross when they played in the 80's and 90's. They were my favorite Christian metal band. Their first recording was their best. When I heard that they recorded it again, it was a must purchase for me. I'm amazed at how they closely matched note for note on all the tunes with almost no variance. But, this time the recording was done with today's technology and wow does it sound good!! Scott Wenzel's lead vocal's sound more mature, a bit deeper, and this adds to the overall improvement of the album. Rex Carroll is blazin' on lead guitar as usual. Guitar players these days don't even come close to what Rex played way back in the 80's. I think it's a lost art-form. You'll like the bonus' recordings as well. Anyway, these guys are still serving Jesus' after all these years and they can still rock!! Brings me back to my younger years to when metal was "in" and Christian metal was a worthy alternative to secular metal. BUY IT!!!!"
