Rock In A Hard Place

• Track Listing

Originally released in 1988, the third album by Christian Metal giants, Bloodgood, shocked metalheads that were used to full-on head bangin tracks like Black Snake and Crucify. Instead, Rock In A Hard Place showcases some of the most melodic hard rock on the planet! She's Gone is haunting, while Shakin It rocks with reckless abandon, and Seven is a resounding, thunderous finale that hearkened back to the first two albums. While the band no longer sounds like Maiden or Priest, the tracks on Rock In a Hard Place are exquisite, addictive, and as good as any the band has ever written. The 2023, Retroactive Records 2023 Bombworks Sound (Rob Colwell) remaster corrects some of the original album's flaws (almost no low end!), and is housed in a 6-panel, full color booklet in a jewel case. This album is part of the elite Metal Icon Series series for a reason - it's a Christian Hard Rock masterpiece that sounds better now than ever! For fans of Idle Cure, Stryper, and Kiss!
