CD Reviews
Uplifting and joyful yet very deep, reflective and pensive.

"I stumbled across this new brand of gospel recently and was totally impressed. While forcefully proclaiming the Truth of scripture and the salvation through the death of The Messiah, Mascaro embraces the Hebrew aspects of our faith in "Jesus" including a return to calling Him by His True given Hebrew name of Yahshua as well as that of The Father (Yahweh). He also uses other Hebrew references including places, personal names and biblical cities. As a first effort it is certainly a strong one; the band members are top notch too. Yet I sensed almost a hesitation on Mascaro's performances, almost as if he was holding back something more to be released on a next effort somehow. I can't wait for his next one; all true believers take note... this guy has something powerful to say in a fresh new way! Not all believing christians may relate to this but it's high time someone had the strength and conviction to get us back to doing things the way Yahshua Himself would do them."
Dynamic!

"This dynamic piece of musical genius features top studio musicians who have played with many top artists, before they were saved. Now for the very first time on Restoration, these talents are featured along with Yochanan Mascaro in his debut recording. The songs are chilling as they look at the depths of human anguish without Yahweh and His eternal Son Yahshua. Cuts like Fishers Of Men, Troubletown(Seventy Times Seven), Miryam Came To Say, sooth the nefsh, as one cries out for deliverance from the human experience. Other selections include: Listen For Him, Purpose In Your Plan, Still Small Voice, Right Things, You Shall Sing, His Endless Ocean, and At The Foot Of The tree.Rarely has a messianic musician been able to capture the true Names in a Messianic and yet upbeat contemporary style, without losing the message of the restoration of all things spoken to and by Israel's prophets. Already the early release is about to get air play on local gospel radio stations around the Florida area, with others set to debut the music nationwide as well. There is no better way to introduce the CD to you then to get some copies into your hands. From the time you unpack your CD until the time you turn it off, you will be most glad that you own your own copy. Hallelu-Yahweh!"

Praise His Name!

"No more singing over the title of pagan deities for me. This praise and worship music uses the real Hebrew name of our Creator as it is written in Scripture and the real Hebrew name of the Messiah as it is written in Scripture. What a spiritual relief to be able to sing praises to the King in spirit and in truth the way it was meant to be. Stop singing over those pagan titles forever!"
