Favorite Sacred Warrior song from each album

Ok nobody else is jumping in with another band for this cool idea Fundy started.

So I'm going to pick a shorter one. Sacred Warrior only has 4 studio albums to their credit, and most people who have been listening to Christian Metal for a while probably have at least one of them. Some come on and let us find out what your favorite Sacred Warrior songs are.

Rebellion – Sword of Victory, this was actually the last Sacred Warrior album I got. I really love the bands sound but the production quality on this album held it back a little for me. I would love to get the recent remastered cd.

Masters Command – Many Will Come, this was the first SW album I ever got, I was a relatively new believer when I found a used copy of this at one of my local record stores. I played it non-stop for several months.

Wicked Generation – Minister By Night, interesting but cool album by this band. I listened to it for more than a year before someone told me it was a concept album. There are a few tracks I could live without but over-all a great album.

Obsessions – Cannot pick a single favorite song from this album, “Wings of a Dream”, “Obsessions”, “Fire From Heaven” and “Madman” are all fantastic tracks, by far my favorite SW album.

Sacred Warrior is one of my all time favorite bands (at least to come out of the eighties) so I'll go ahead and tackle this first:

"Rebellion" - Two songs stand out: The title track, with its cow bell driven instrumental section, and the semi-progressiveness of "The Heavens Are Calling". Ironically, I think this is Sacred Warrior's best produced album.

"Master's Command" - "Evil Lurks" has a dark and haunting feel that perfectly matches the Sacred Warrior sound. Plus, Bruce Swift nails a killer guitar solo (listening to it right now).

"Wicked Generation" - This is one of those concept albums in which all of the songs hold up well when listened to collectively but individually it is difficult to pinpoint a standout track. So I am going to have to pass.

"Obsessions" - "Mad Man" is one of those songs that is perfect in every way. I enjoy the touch of progressiveness but the melody stands out equally well.

As I was listening to the remastered Rebellion in the car coming home from work this morn ,It felt like I was listening to it again for the first time. It had been soooooo long since I heard it. I just don't listen to cassettes any more. Plus I wore them out.

Rebellion~ Mad,Mad World

It's been awhile since I listened to the next two so I'll put what I remember the most which will probably be what I enjoyed the most.

Master's Command~Beyond the Mountain and Holy,Holy,Holy

Wicked Generation~ a harder,heavier,edgier SW~ Minister by Night


For some reason I never did get Obsessions so I will def be getting this when it gets remastered.

Give me more time.
I just started to listen to the music of Sacred Warrior.
Need a bit more time to "know" the albums before I can give a favorite of each CD.

The lyrical messages in SW's music are all very, very good; so I approach a question like this by looking at the songs that musically interest me the most. With that said....

Rebellion - "Master of Lies" - one of the best hooks in any metal song by any band ever!

Master's Command - "Bound in Chains"

Wicked Generation - "War Torn Hero"

Obsessions - "Wings of a Dream" - the first song I ever heard by this band, and to this day perhaps my favorite song by them. I just love this song.

Wow lots of diversity in favorites with this band.

I was listening to this again today and Stay Away From Evil just was like Wow!

Agreed, they really don't have any bad music IMO.

I think musically their weak point was Wicked Generation. The songs are written well, but I'm not a big fan of the guitar sound on this album. I also wish that Obsessions had been better produced. It sounds sometimes like I'm in a tin can listening to it. Rebellion and Master's Command were the best of the four strictly from a production standpoint.
