Letter 7 is Christian rock music with a hard edge metal guitar sound, old school
power metal vocals and hooks, and solid driving drums. Formed by one guy from
Arizona with the help of professional vocalist Tom Collete and sound engineer
Ken Orth, they put together a great collection of high energy songs with a
rockin sound. JD Evans - writer, producer and Christian musician takes a new
direction with this album. The powerful feel and creative vocals send the
listeners back to the metal days of old like Judas Priest,Rez
band,Whitesnake,Bloodgood,Dio,Stryper,Petra and more. They even threw in a
couple of great rock ballads to round out the entire project making this CD into
a completely enjoyable experience. I think I got the "message" too. Nice job
guys!

of Tom Collete. Production values sound crisp and clean.
Lyrics are
upfront and boldly Christian.
BTW,
it looks like Phoenix - with Tykkus, Troglodyte Dawn and now Letter 7 - is
becoming quite the hotbed for quality Christian metal!
Letter 7 is quite the promising act, exhibiting its potential by merging a
profusion of guitar driven energy and notable melodies to create a sound certain
to appeal to fans of Dokken, Stryper, Fifth Angel, Holy Soldier, Whitecross,
Scorpions, Whitesnake, Red Sea and Judas Priest. Salt Of The Earth,
for example, finds the band in top form on up-tempo numbers “Onward Christian
Soldiers”, “Salt Of The Earth” and “Stand On The Rock” in addition to proving
equally adept on the mid-tempo sounds of ...
