And now the legacy lives on…
While the band has been on a bit of a brief hiatus, God is clearly not finished with them yet. And now the legacy continues with its current line up consisting of two core members Rick Evans and Paul Smith. With Rick and Paul left to carry the legacy and load, they were rejoined by alumni Ron Hemby, and newcomer Rod Fletcher to form the current group. The famous foursome has changed through the years, but they are ready to continue the legacy of excellence set by their predecessors.
And today we are excited to announce the brand new EP ‘Blessed’ which features 4 beautifully completely reimagined and rerecorded classic tracks and the debut of a brand new amazingly beautiful track entitled ‘Blessed’ which we are happy to share with you today.
https://youtu.be/Ka3JgvpO90E
This beautifully packaged CD will also be released simultaneously with a companion DVD that features all the new tracks included with classic archival video footage and photos from the classic years of the Imperials. You will not want to miss out on this Limited Edition CD and DVD pressing as they will easily become collectors items and a piece of the long and amazing history of…

RE: ALL FOR THE KING ‘DARKEST BEFORE THE DAWN’
DATE: FEBRUARY 22, 2024
STREET DATE: MARCH 29, 2024
All For The King are back with their third full length release entitled ‘Darkest Before The Dawn’. The band has seen critical success early on with their first two releases, and has even been hailed by critics as a “modern day Black Sabbath.” Reviewers across the world have compared Erik Tilling’s guitar work to that of hard rock riff master Tony Iommi, and singer Ricard Hulteke to the legendary Glenn Hughes.
The current lineup is made up of the following seasoned musicians:
Ricard Hulteke – vocals
Erik Tilling - guitar
Andreas Alov - bass
Anders Kollerfors - drums
The bands humble beginnings started in 2016, with the band drawing heavy influences from bands like King’s X and Black Sabbath. Over time, the band has cultivated its own unique mix, fusing classic rock and metal with more modern sounds. One of the tracks on ‘Darkest before the Dawn’ features guest singer Ulf Christiansson, founder and singer of the band Jerusalem.
The album will be released on Roxx Records, based in Los Angeles, CA. USA on March 29, 2024.
The bands debut 2017 album garnered rave reviews, such as:
“The songwriting is of such quality, both in terms of heaviness and harmonies, that it might be taken as original material from the musical era that the band was inspired by” (Urban Thoms, Dagen newspaper)
Then once again in 2021 with the bands sophomore release, “Let There Be Light”:
“Listen! I would recommend this to anyone! I love the album! The more you listen to it the better it becomes! It’sjust epic great metal! Love it, love it, love it!” (Leigh Spencer, Iridium Rock and Metal Review)
Today we release to radio the brand new single and lyric video, ‘The Seventh Seal’ featuring the one and only Ulf Christiansson of Jerusalem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMhVs99M5SI
‘Darkest Before Dawn’ releases on CD and limited edition vinyl on March 29th via Roxx Records and pre orders launch this Friday with the first 50 orders receiving a limited edition sticker.

RE: THE PRINCESS PROJECT ‘A GLOW IN THE DARK AGE’
DATE: FEBRUARY 21, 2024
STREET DATE: MARCH 22, 2024
Roxx Records uncovers a long lost and out of print Christian metal GEM! Are you ready for the female fronted metal of Judah Mikah? What about guitars from Chris Steberl of Project Alcazar? Not enough for you? What about a project featuring drums played by the Visual Time Keeper Robert Sweet (Stryper) himself? Well get ready we’re taking you on another journey as we remaster and reissue ‘A Glow In The Dark Ages’
First let’s take a listen to the track ‘Blood Brother’ https://youtu.be/e9N8u44WoYE
Princess Project was formed by Judah Mikah as she recruited Chris Stebrel who had originally wrote several of these tracks for his band ‘Project Alcazar’, and Steve Theado also came aboard to write a couple songs for this project. Next Judah would recruit the one and only Robert Sweet of Stryper to record the drum tracks for this long lost recording. The result was ‘A Glow In The Dark Age’ a 7 track album with heavy riffing, drumming and killer metal vocals.
Alas, like many amazing metal bands that tried to make a go of it in the mid 90’s the band would be very short lived. Never playing any live shows at all, and the only remnants of this classic band is the recording you are about to hear. ‘A Glow In The Dark Age’ was originally only released on CD in 1996 in a very short run, and never has it been pressed to vinyl, until now.
Pre Orders will launch this Friday for the limited edition jewel case edition cd with full color 8 page lyric booklet. In addition, a very Limited ONE TIME pressing on vinyl! A very special 140g heavy weight 45rpm orange colored vinyl limited to a 200 piece pressing and sure to become a collector’s item.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
“My goal for Heavenly Realms comes from a long-standing musical desire to bring a guitar instrumental to the Christian rock community that would carry the baton of such artists as Jeff Scheetz (Woodpecker Stomp), Joey Tafolla (Out of the Sun), Lanny Cordola (Electric Warrior, Acoustic Saint), and Chis Impellitteri (Stand in Line). We have not seen that type of release in many years.”
Kevin has quite the extensive musical background graduating from GIT (Musicians Institute), spending time in Arsenal, and studying privately with Paul Gilbert (Mr. Big), Bruce Bouillet (Racer X), and Steve Lynch (Autograph). This killer training and studying has provided him with the musical tools needed to reach the goal of giving us “Heavenly Realms”.
Kevin continues to tell us…
“So much of the above-mentioned players musical DNA is weaved into this release, either through inspiration or actual techniques learned directly from them. Every great guitar instrumental requires an amazing rhythm section, so I called upon the iconic Tim Gaines on bass and Arnaud Krakowka on drums. They are both incredible musicians and people! Next a great instrumental needs a great Record Label to understand the vision. Thank you to Roxx Records for the release and Bill Bafford for being the Executive Producer of “Heavenly Realms.”
Kevin and Roxx are wanting “Heavenly Realms” to inspire all artists, whether you play music or create art. We hope this music and cover art can inspire you to be creative to the glory of God! The world needs your art too! Check out what these cool folks had to say about Kevin and Heavenly Realms…
“Heavenly Realms is a beautiful mixture of melody, innovation, finesse, dynamics, and heart and soul. For those who desire something new and refreshing, this is a 'must-add' to your collection!”
Steve Lynch - Autograph (RCA Records)
“It was not that long ago when Arsenal guitarist, Kevin Pike, unleashed his debut solo instrumental album, Guitar Graffiti, upon us. Enlisting the aid of longtime Stryper bass player, Timothy Gaines, and drummer, Arnaud Krakowka, Pike delivered an EP of insane speed, technical virtuosity, and melodic textures that I had not encountered in quite some time. As a huge fan of the old Shrapnel Records shred albums, it was a pleasant surprise, to say the least, to hear a player weave the type of musical magic that Pike did on that first all-too-short effort. Now, less than 18 months later, Pike has returned to blaze his way into your soul once again with his new full-length release, Heavenly Realms.”
Arttie Parker - Positive Rock Review
Check out the lead off track entitled “Atomic Dragon”:

RE: NOT OF THIS WORLD ‘I AM WITH YOU’
DATE: JANUARY 11, 2024
What do you get if you cross the legendary Christian rockers BRIDE with mainstream rockers Alice In Chains? Well you get the latest installment from Not Of This World.
Roxx Records is once again very excited to bring you the sophomore effort from Not Of This World fronted by the one and only Dale Thompson of BRIDE featuring the musical talents of Clay Ashbrook.
Here is what Clay had to say about the bands latest release. “With our second album, at first, I was going for more of a darker acoustic type sound. As the songs progressed, I added a few more rock and metal songs to let Dale really shine and get some screaming in. I have always been a fan of the Alice In Chains sound and their combination of acoustic and metal songs, so that's the closest thing I can compare it to. I think there is something for everyone on this album. I hope you all enjoy it and at least one of the songs can speak to you in some way.”
Building on the success of the bands debut release ‘Never Forget’, the band does not disappoint providing a stellar performance on their latest release ‘I am with You’ featuring 10 brand new killer tracks.
Today we bring you the debut single and video now streaming for the track ‘The Holy One’

Coming your way from way down under, hailing from Australia we reached out to the members of.... DISCIPLE
No not that Disciple, this Disciple actually came first, but was very short lived unfortunately given the music and talent we see here today. So now we must revisit this long lost classic from 1988, from 36 long years ago, as we remaster and restore the bands classic 'cassette tape' only release 'Sacred Knights'. But that's not all...
Roxx Records is excited to bring you 'The Lost Disciple' by Australian rockers DISCIPLE a 12 track limited edition CD pressing featuring the original 9 tracks from their one and only cassette tape release 'Sacred Knights'. We also have here three additional tracks to round out the recorded history of this classic band. Tracks 10 and 11 are from their 7" only record which contained two tracks that were sort of a pre release for what should have been the bands second release, which would unfortunately never come to fruition. Lastly track 12 is the last recording and a previously unreleased track entitled 'No More Losin'' which rounds out this beautiful 12 track release.
This release has been beautifully laid out with new cover art courtesy of NoLifeTilMetal Graphics, and an amazing new remaster from Bombworks Sound.
Listen Now: https://youtu.be/aXhckfNskT4?si=nrVt6mkmu20dqAuJ

PRESS RELEASE
RE: JAGGED DOCTRINE
DATE: AUGUST 28, 2023
Roxx Records is ready to bring you another brand new Christian metal project this year as we are very excited to welcome JAGGED DOCTRINE to the label.
Jagged Doctrine started years ago with roots in Industrial Metal via Rod Middleton's shredding guitar work combined with Gary Baker's electronic wizardry. From their onset, the dynamic duo had ongoing success including (but not limited to) licensing tracks to MTV for use, being spotlighted on Rolling Stone Magazine's website, and composing a soundtrack for a book series by New York Times best selling author Ted Dekker.
Now they have returned after a 9 year hiatus with what may be their most complex and best collaborative songs to date - boasting the voice and well-known screams of Dove Award winning singer Dale Thompson of the band BRIDE. Along with a very special guest appearance from Sydney Rentz of the band Morella's Forest, who lends her vocals on the track ‘Liquid Sky.’ Their debut album ‘Eve Of Destruction’ is sure to be pleasing to the ears of any music seeker yearning for a harder style, excellent writing, heavy guitars, cutting- edge musicality, and professional production!
Roxx is very excited to deliver this album to you, this September via limited edition CD jewel case edition limited to only 250 copies.

You may read a number of bios where bands extol their virtues of being the next big thing, as important as Led Zeppelin, inventor of the wheel…
Anger As Art doesn’t do that. They don’t need to.
To know what Anger As Art is, one can look at what they have been since 2004. A first rate, old school, thrash metal band – rooted in the history created by the members of the band. Take one look at their lineage – members of Abattoir, EvilDead, Bloodlust, Hirax, Death, Manowar, Raven, Heretic, Bitch,… and know where they are going.
Multiple World Tours, touring with Destruction, Overkill, Testament, Death Angel, Exodus, Saxon, Agent Steel, ex- Maiden vocalists Bayley and DiAnno, Tankard, Onslaught, Katatonia…
Anger As Art was intended to be a 'swan song' recording of songs written by Steve Gaines (vocals, guitar). But demand was so strong, that a band was launched. Joined by drummer Rob Alaniz, bassist vocalist Eric Bryan and guitarist Albert Gonzales, the band began touring steadily, going around the world multiple times. When most others are beginning to fade away, Anger As Art has returned in 2023 with their 7th and strongest album to date – “Virtual Sympathy.” A 11-song juggernaut of doom-laden thrash. Soaring Guitars? Check. Gut-wrenching vocals? Check. Amazing rhythm section? Double check. No signs of slowing down for these founders/veterans of the worldwide thrash/speed/death metal scene. They’re just getting started.
Hitting the streets September 1st on all digital and streaming platforms as well as CD, additionally a very limited vinyl pressing will be made available later this year.
Check out the first single and video for the track ‘The Enemy Within’
Stay Tuned to NoLifeTilMetalRecords.com as pre orders are set to launch very soon!

RE: CHRIS MANNING ‘REACH THE SKY’
DATE: JUNE 27, 2023
NoLifeTilMetal Records is proud to announce the CD and vinyl release of Texas guitarist Chris Manning’s "Reach The Sky." The new album is a worthy follow-up to “Destination” (2020) and once again features vocalist extraordinaire and co-writer, Cris Hodges (Grey Daze, In The End). “Reach The Sky” also features a stellar lineup of guest artists including legendary guitarist Bruce Kulick (KISS, Grand Funk) on "Fly Over The Walls" as well as the Hungarian-born, fiery blues guitarist Tommy Katona on the instrumental “Texas Smoke”. In addition to his contributions to one track, Bruce Kulick served as the album’s creative consultant.
“Reach The Sky” features a great collection of genre-blurring songs combining melodic rock and metal riffs with cinematic soundscapes showcasing Manning’s unique approach to songwriting along with his thematic guitar solos. Vocalist Cris Hodges once again delivers catchy hooks showcasing his amazing range and depth as well as his ability to provide the perfect vocal performance for each song.
Fans of Alice in Chains, Lynch Mob, KISS, and King’s X will love this album and its perfect blend of Manning’s influences. Rounding out the album’s lineup are bassist, Chapman Stick, and keyboardist studio ace Rick Read (Herd Of Instinct, The Zeppelin Project) on 8 tracks and Singapore bassist Dan Hawkins on 2 tracks. Drummer and UK session pro Max Saidi completes the line up.

]]>RE: JAGGED DOCTRINE
DATE: JUNE 15, 2023
Roxx Records is ready to bring you another brand new Christian metal project this year as we are very excited to welcome JAGGED DOCTRINE to the label.
Jagged Doctrine started years ago with roots in Industrial Metal via Rod Middleton's shredding guitar work combined with Gary Baker's electronic wizardry. From their onset, the dynamic duo had ongoing success including (but not limited to) licensing tracks to MTV for use, being spotlighted on Rolling Stone Magazine's website, and composing a soundtrack for a book series by New York Times best selling author Ted Dekker.
Now they have returned after a 9 year hiatus with what may be their most complex and best collaborative songs to date - boasting the voice and well-known screams of Dove Award winning singer Dale Thompson of the band BRIDE. Along with a very special guest appearance from Sydney Rentz of the band Morella's Forest, who lends her vocals on the track ‘Liquid Sky.’ Their debut album ‘Eve Of Destruction’ is sure to be pleasing to the ears of any music seeker yearning for a harder style, excellent writing, heavy guitars, cutting- edge musicality, and professional production!
RE: AMETHYST
DATE: JUNE 13, 2023
Roxx Records has secured the rights to release another impossible to find classic Christian Metal release. This time hailing from the state of Washington we are excited to announce a killer collection of tracks from AMETHYST
These tracks have been remastered by Bombworks Sound and sound better than you have ever heard them. Complete with a brand new cover design and layout courtesy of NoLifeTilMetal Graphics and we have a beautiful limited edition tribute to another classic Christian metal band. Unfortunately, three of the members of the band have already passed on out of this life, so you will see the newly created cover art is designed in part as a tribute to those members, at the request of Mark Fekete.
Get ready as pre orders launch for this one this Friday June 16th at RoxxRecords.com for this very limited CD pressing which will officially release on June 30th
]]>RE: Stairway celebrates 30th anniversary of ‘No Rest: No Mercy’
Date: June 1, 2023
Roxx Records has teamed up with UK Christian rockers STAIRWAY to release the definitive and very special 30th anniversary edition of ‘No Rest:No Mercy’
STAIRWAY was founded in October 1978 at beginning of the NWOBHM era, and has released six full length albums to date. The band was signed in 1990 by Kingsway Music as part of the 1991 White Metal Records compilation CD 'White Metal Warriors' and recorded two tracks, 'Anybody There’ and 'Walk Away' exclusively for that album.
The bands debut album for Kingsway Music on the Edge Records label, 'No Rest: No Mercy', would be released in 1993, and produced by Paul Hodson (Hard Rain / Bob Catley), hailed the band's International popularity and saw it's debut chart entry in the Japanese Import Charts at #48. This is the album that started it all for Stairway and is still in high demand today. |
Which led to the only repressing up to this point in 2005 when Retroactive Records would re-release the 'No Rest: No Mercy' as a Limited Edition CD including the bonus track ‘Anybody There?’ which was originally released on the 'White Metal Warriors' compilation. This pressing was released in 2005 and has also been long out of print and difficult to find.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of this classic release and Roxx Records is going to celebrate this significant piece of Christian metal history with Stairway by remastering and reissuing ‘No Rest: No Mercy - 30th Anniversary Edition (1993-2023)’ edition remastered and expanded to become the definitive edition of this classic release. This special edition will also mark the very first time this album has been released on vinyl and limited to only 200 copies AND it will include both bonus tracks from ‘White Metal Warriors’, ‘Anyboby There?’ and ‘Walk Away’. In addition to that the Limited Edition remastered CD version will include both ‘White Metal Warriors’ tracks, ‘Anyboby There?’ and ‘Walk Away’ plus 3 previously unreleased live tracks.
Lets take a listen to the first remastered track from ‘No Rest: No Mercy - 30th Anniversary Edition (1993-2023)’ ‘Battle of Heaven’: https://youtu.be/R94YzNtlb6s
Stay tuned as pre orders go live this Friday June 2nd with a release date of June 23rd 2023 and you wont want to miss the sale for the first 24 hours as we do something we have not done before!

RE: CRUCIBLE DIVINE
DATE: MAY 30, 2023
Are you ready for a Righteous Crusade? The time is now, so let us begin. What do you get when band founder Raymond Christie coordinates his bands next release and it features the one and only Dale Thompson up front and center along with quite a few other amazingly talented musicians? You get the brand new release from Crucible Divine entitled ‘Righteous Crusade’
Crucible Divine started out as a studio project in 2009 and derived the name from lyrics in Rob Rock’s song “Holy Hell”. The first song released was a cover of “Ramming Speed” for the Christian Metal Realm’s compilation “Temporary Insanity a Salute to Deliverance” released in 2010. This paved the way to record the projects first full length album “Commitment” in 2011.
Reeling in from a bad record deal, Crucible Divine was put on hold. Fast forward to 2020. Nine years after laying dormant, Raymond decided to record one more song for release and then put Crucible Divine to rest for good. Raymond had seen a post from Dale Thompson offering vocals for hire. Contact was made and the song came to fruition. In December of 2020 the single “Secret Sins” was released. Dale really liked the song and suggested recording a full album. With the compliment and encouragement of an industry veteran and lead guitarist/song writer Kevin Wale, nine brand new songs were born. Crucible Divine now has a new fire to continue making music for the masses!
Roxx Records is excited to announce the latest release from Crucible Divine. This time it’s a Star studded affair and they’re ready to shake the foundation as they bring you a Righteous Crusade. Today we are excited to debut the brand new album cover and the brand new single ‘Victim of Society’ featuring Timothy Gaines of Stryper.
