  • MODEST ATTRACTION -DIVINE LUXURY (VINYL)

    by Greg Hays
    Divine Luxury (1996) built on the enormous success of the debut and blew away both critics and long-time fans. Memorable, exquisite, super-heavy, and firmly planted in the 70’s with a modern day production, Divine Luxury show cased the band at the top-of-world of heavy metal. To this very day, Retroactive Records owner, Matthew Hunt claims this album as one of his all-time favorites!  It’s THAT amazing!  Digitally remastered by none other than Narnia axeman, C.J. Grimmark and the layout handled by none other than NoLifeTilMetal’s Scott Waters

  • MODEST ATTRACTION - GET READY (VINYL)

    by Greg Hays
    Modest Attraction was leading the retro movement early on, and combined the extravagant showmanship of Queen with the deep 70’s vibes of classic Deep Purple, The Sweet, Rainbow, Uriah Heep, Led Zeppelin.  Modest Attraction embraced the retro-vibe in every way - featuring members with full-blown long-hair, platform shoes, and colorful stage clothes including flared trousers

  • MODEST ATTRACTION - THE TRUTH IN YOUR FACE (VINYL)

    by Greg Hays
    In 1994, The Truth In Your Face was an enormous success and established the band as international heroes in the hard rock and metal scene. Digitally remastered by none other than Narnia axeman, C.J. Grimmark and the layout handled by none other than NoLifeTilMetal’s Scott Waters

  • PETRA - THIS MEANS WAR (MILITARY GREEN VINYL)

    by Greg Hays
    MILITARY GREEN VINYL.  This Means War ushered in a new era. The band knew after their debut record with Schlitt, when everyone thought they were on their way out, that a hard rock/arena rock record was want everyone wanted and exactly what producers John and Dino Elefante could deliver and did they ever.  Just speaking with John Elefante a few days ago, he reminded me that they had a top hit on all 4 major charts at the same time which helped them amass a large following of converts, Dove Awards, and Grammys. 

  • PETRA - BEAT THE SYSTEM (ROYAL PURPLE VINYL)

    by Greg Hays
    ROYAL PURPLE VINYL. By the time Beat the System hit the speakers, fans knew that these guys had no interest in just another record, they embodied an attitude that said, "Let's break down barriers and do something relevant" by moving more towards a keyboard driven rock act. With songs like “Computer Brains,” “Witch Hunt,” and “It Is Finished,” the band included sampling and effects not found on their other records along with a sense of urgency in every song, slowing the heavy tempo for only two songs: “Adonai” and “Hollow Eyes.”

  • PETRA - MORE POWER TO YA (RADIANT BLUE VINYL)

    by Greg Hays
    RADIANT BLUE VINYL. As Petra soared to new heights with Greg X. Volz, Bob Hartman and Louie Weaver, More Power to Ya was THAT defining album that broke down all the barriers of what an effective ministry focused rock band could be, embracing backward masking (If you know, you know).  Look no further than the powerful rockers “Second Wind” and “Judas’ Kiss” for songs that defined a generation. 

  • Bloodgood - Metal Missionaries Demo + 3 Bonus Tracks (LIMITED RUN VINYL) 45rpm FIRST TIME ON VINYL

    by Greg Hays

  • TRYTAN - BLOOD OF KINGS (Double Vinyl Gatefold)

    by Greg Hays
    Double Gatefold Vinyl - This album is an exciting and brilliant musical and emotional rollercoaster, but fans know that’s par for the course from progressive rockers, Trytan. Blood of Kings marks the band’s third iconic milestone on a musical journey that began over 30 years ago! Blood of Kings features band leader, Lary Dean on vocals, Eric Gillette (Neal Morse Band), Jim Laverde (Barren Cross), Rey Parra (Sacred Warrior/Deny the Fallen) and John Elefante (Kansas/Mastedon).

  • RESURRECTION BAND - COLOURS (GATEFOLD VINYL (3 COLORS) + POSTER, 2021 GIRDER RECORDS

    by Greg Hays
    Colours (1980) begins with the powerful Autograph,' which opens with a full two minutes of exciting guitar riffs. The album's title track is an offering of worship that concludes with the poetic refrain, *Whatever one could ask of faith, obedience will give / Together all express the love in hearts where Jesus lives." "N.YC." describes the harsh urban life in the mean streets of Chicago's big sister city, but 'Amazing" expresses wonder at the hope and help God offers those who are metaphorically or literally homeless. "City Streets" and "Beggar in the Alleyway" continue the social consciousness, an attribute of Resurrection Band's albums almost totally absent from other mainstays of Christian music at the time.

  • RESURRECTION BAND - MOMMY DON'T LOVE DADDY ANYMORE (GATEFOLD VINYL (3 COLORS) + POSTER, 2021 GIRDER RECORDS

    by Greg Hays
    Releases in 1981, Mommy Don't Love Daddy Anymore offers social commentary (on the American culture of divorce), but it does so on an immediate level, by describing one child's description of his family's dysfunction. Yet as powerful as it is, the songs becomes even more chilling to anyone who learns Glenn Kaiser's life story and realizes how autobiographical this detailed scenario is for him. Elevator Music humorously trashes American materialism In other words don't think for a minute you are getting a rock album without substance.

  • RESURRECTION BAND - DMZ (GATEFOLD VINYL (3 COLORS) + POSTER, 2021 GIRDER RECORDS

    by Greg Hays
    Resurrection Band's release DMZ in 1982 and contains their greatest musical moments with "Military Man" a blistering opening track sung by Glenn about the loss of a soldier's humanity in the struggle to survive. "White Noise" with a ninety-second feedback-drenched guitar solo by Stu Heiss that is Resurrection Band's answer to Van Halen's “Eruption" and is generally considered to constitute the single greatest non-Phil Keaggy guitar moment in Christian rock. D.M.Z. comes in explosive orange/yellow swirl, a transparent red as well as black in a gatefold with band poster.

  • XALT - UNDER THE RUINS + 1 Bonus (*NEW-VINYL, 2021, Retroactive)

    by Greg Hays
    After the late 80's independent release Dark War by Xalt - the hot shot lineup of the band launched the 90's by signing with PURE METAL RECORDS and releasing the hard rock and heavy metal classic Under the Ruins! Long out-of-print on CD and never released on Vinyl - do not miss this treasure for fans of Judas Priest, Accept, Riot, and Stryper!

  • BARREN CROSS - RATTLE YOUR CAGE (*NEW-Black Vinyl, 2021, Retroactive)

    by Greg Hays
    The 1995 release of this Barren Cross classic showcases the band's ability to transition from the flashy and slick Elefante bros. production to a sound more raw and less polished - exactly the way metal should be.  While the Seattle sounds ruled mainstream airways, Barren cross was mashing METAL in all the right ways!  

  • DELIVERANCE - WHAT A JOKE (LIME GREEN VINYL, 2021 Retroactive)

    by Greg Hays
    Originally released in 1991, Deliverance’s third album is a thrash masterpiece along the lines of S.O.D., M.O.D., Sacred Reich, and Death Angel. Coming off of their career high, the group produced a transitional piece. What a Joke reveals a band perfecting its craft, with a cover of Black Sabbath’s “After Forever” remains a highlight, and an ironically noisy rendition of “Silent Night,” a classic novelty.
