As they say, Rock and Roll never dies. There have been many incarnations of Rock and Roll over the years, but perhaps none as engaging as the music culture that erupted out of the scene in the late seventies and eighties. For the first time it seems Rock and Roll had come into it's own, and become more than a style of music. Perhaps if Rock and Roll never dies, then neither will the forefathers of this edge-defying genre that helped develop the culture we are in today.
Barren Cross, legends in their own right, return to the stage of intensity by inviting the music culture back to Arena Rock once again to prove that rock and roll never dies. They are once again here with a sound that will cause their audience to feel, to be challenged and remind us all of the full scale that rock and roll demands.
Over the years, Barren Cross has seen their share of successes since their start out of High School in 1983. In 1985 their first EP, Believe, a independent release, garnered national attention and trade marking their raw metal sound. The following year, Star Song Records released their first full length, and still widely sought after CD, Rock for the King. 1988 saw a second full-length Release, Atomic Arena, this time on Enigma Records (now Capitol Records) alongside label mates Poison, Ratt, Slayer, Stryper and more.
In 1989, as a follow up to their Enigma debut, they released a third CD, State of Control and a full production Live CD on Medusa Records called Hotter than Hell Live! was released the following year. A few months later, Rock for the King was reissued and has since become a collector's item. Subsequently, the band enjoyed a bit of a break until Barren Cross' last release (to date) in 1994 on Rugged Records, the stylistically evolved, Rattle your Cage.
Besides six major label releases (five of them full-length), Barren Cross earned their stripes through relentless touring in their day. Their sound and full passion for what they do has earned them respect and airplay on VH1, MTV, countless radio stations and several label and metal compilations. For over twenty years, international music magazines have featured the band consistently, confirming with certainty that this is a band that cannot be limited by time or trends.
Their sound is as raw and tight as ever and there is no question that it can only be described as full-fledged rock for the King that will rattle your cage.
You guys have been a huge blessing to me since the 80's. I am so thankful for your awesome relationship with God! I really like your sound! Your music is amazing. Thank You so much for continuing to make beautiful music! God is amazing and He is amazing in your music! I cannot help but dance when I hear your music! I wish I could only sing and play as well as you all do. Come up here to Washington state and give me a lesson! Okay, I really need the annointing of God to do it right.
Hello from Kuwait!! I'm in the US Army on my way home from along tour in Iraq. Wow, just seeing that video almost brings tears to my eyes. You music realy touched my heart back in my younger days when I had some problems. 2 years ago, I had 2 LP's of the Rock For The King album (1 front/1 back) custom framed. When I get a proper home again, it will be up on a wall for all to see.
Congratulations Dean! Look forward to you Rockin' for the King. I have the Attakk EP but I believe a different vocalist sang on it. Tell your new bandmates they need to return to Pottstown, Pa. God Bless Barren Cross
