On Nov. 15, 2008 there was an explosion at the B. C. Loyd building located in the Greene County Fair Grounds, Paragould, AR. Several demonic entities, imps, and other nasty spirits of the enemy of God were severely injured and otherwise ran out of town thanks to the first annual Celebrate Jesus Music Fest featuring SoZoRox. It is reported that after about 15 minutes of sound and electrical complications, believed to be due to unseen saboteurs, the roof of the facility was blown completely off when guitarist/vocalist Darren, guitarist Mack Marshal, and drummer TJ struck the first chord of what was to be the powerful, spirit filled, machine-gun-like attack of heart felt, emotionally driven, Scripture filled Heavy Metal Music which SoZoRox is quickly becoming known for.
As Founder and President of Celebrate Jesus Productions Inc. I just want to say Thank You to Darren, Mack, TJ, and their mysterious guest Bass guitarist for such an amazing performance, and you know it's really not right to call it a performance because these guys aren't just up there to give a good show, though they could be on stage with any metal band I've ever seen live and that includes the Metallica concert this past weekend, but they are there to minister the Word of God. And they do. My life and my ministry has truly been enriched and blessed by getting to know these guys and knowing that when they say 'We'll be there,' that they will be there, READY TO ROCK!!!

I wanted to sincerely thank you for heartfelt participation in the event. You know as well as anyone, that when you put your heart into something you hope and pray that it will be more than just a quick couple of hours. I had deeply hoped it would be an incredible moment for our God, and our community.
Sozorox without a doubt encouraged each participant of the Battle for the prize to reach deep within their soul to worship our maker. Not only was your performance stellar, but you were able to connect with the crowd like no other. I had hoped you would have been the winner, but you did win over our hearts for our God. Your presence and deep and thoughtful lyrics were an incredible addition to our evening.
Thank you for your love for the Lord.

Battle for the Prize
SozoRox recently performed at a benefit concert put on by my organization, OneMovie. We could not have been more pleased with not only their performance but with what a pleasure each member was to work with!
Each of their songs was very powerful and the passion of the Christian convictions was evident as they rocked our stage! Our audience was visibly excited by their performance! SozoRox truly communicates a powerful message through a medium that is entertaining and engaging.

Very Professional Full of Energy. The sound was spectacular the message in the lyrics was Anointed! IF YOU WANT TO REACH THE "LOST" GENERATION OF THIS CENTURY... THEN SOZOROX IS THE BRIDGE TO REACH THEM!

Their Music is fresh and new with a very unique sound. Many of the songs they sing, they have written themselves, and they have very deep and moving words. They will touch the lives of the young people you would like to reach for Christ.

The boys from SozoRox have once again rocked the Alton Illinois area with a tremendous performance of skill, dedication and musical brilliance.They performed on Sunday,March 7th,2004 at the benefit for Leland Lievers, a local area musician in need of assistance with medical expenses.They were kind enough to donate their time and talent to help raise $3000.00 for a very good cause. Half way through the first song, they had the audience on their feet clapping and cheering through the rest of the show. SozoRox brings more than just music to their audience, they bring a sincere message of faith and dedication in service of the Lord.
Once again I would like to personally thank Darren, Mack, Sam and Anthony for a wonderful performance and the donation of their talent
Keith M
Music Coordinator for Lievers Benefit
Performers were set up and ready to go at the scheduled time. They were professional and courteous. The age range of the audience varied. There were small children, teens, and adults. Performers interacted well with the audience. We would love to see this band play again and definitely would consider SozoRox for future program and fundraisers.

Attendance was 200
We were blessed with the awesome music and Ministry that SozoRox provided at our Club. The musicians are skilled display the character of Christ. The crowd was small but the power of Christ through the band was strong. The result.... A new name in the Lambs book of Life - AMEN - SozoRox can't wait to have you back.

TO ALL THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOZOROX COME AND PERFORM.
I CONTACTED THEM FOR AN EVENT AND ASKED THEM TO COME AND PERFORM.
BOY DID I GET WAY MORE THAN I HAD HOPED FOR. THEIR MINISTRY HAD A BIG IMPACT ON THE YOUTH AT MY EVENT. WE HAD 8 BANDS AND ALL THE KIDS COULD TALK ABOUT WAS SOZOROX. THESE GUY'S ARE THE REAL DEAL, THEY ARE OUT TO SPREAD THE WORD OF GOD. PERIOD! THEY WERE GREAT MINISTERS OF THE WORD. SO IF YOU NEED A GREAT BAND FOR YOUR EVENT . SOZOROX IS AN AWESOME GROUP OF GUY'S

From the opening chords, SozoRox blew me away. After I was able to peel my face off the back of my skull, caused by the hard hitting rhtyhms, I sat back and enjoyed the show. These guys are talented musicians, but it doesn't stop there. All three of them have a passion to serve Christ, which was evident as they hung out and talked with the crowd after the show. I have seen a lot of bands in my years as a youth minster, and you are not going to find many this talented and passionate about reaching people for Christ. As soon as you get the chance see them live, it's an experience I won't forget.

Shalom . Yesterday, I felt led in my spirit to write and post a new blog, called : "Why Current Health Care Is Collapsing And Universal Reform Will Be Worse"
It is a VERY important message which richly details how the current American health care system has gradually spiraled downwards to the sad, corrupted and dysfunctional state it is in today, of which the blame of this problem rests upon the shoulders of many people from all walks of life, from the government, health care providers, the pharmaceutical industry, insurance companies, and likewise, citizen patients and illegal immigrants, etc. Likewise, it deals with the dangers of globalization in its various aspects and how it negatively affects us all. For those who may have already read it, I just added a few essential ideas to it this morning. It is a very balanced and thoughtful study compiled from much research and in combination with history, current world affairs and Biblical truth, laying out a very clear picture of why if we do not change our current course of action, this system is destined for utter failure. Likewise, this blog details the very reasons why the idea of Universal Health Care Reform will NOT solve all of our problems, but rather, make things MUCH worse.
Please feel free to come by and read this blog, and if you sense the leading in your spirit, post and share any thoughts you may have. I thank you in advance.
We will be performing live at Daniels Den in Plano, IL. This is one of our very favorite places to play and it's a great chance to catch us at a local show.
