Rob Rock - Garden of Chaos - WOW

OK, I just got my copy of Garden of Chaos in the mail from Japan. Lyrically this thing blows away the other releases as far as in your face Christianity. Rob's faith on other projects has shown through, but on this project...

Here are the lyrics of a couple of the songs:

Savior's Call

Born in misery
Silver spoon in hand
You can't find happiness
Lost in Neverland

Life will bring you to your knees
You will search but you won't see
You'll never find what you're looking for
Until you hear the Savior's Call

Emptiness and pain
Cradle to the grave
Tasting everything
Just to find relief

Life will bring you to your knees
You will search but you won't see
You'll never find what you're looking for
Until you hear the Savior's Call
In the night when darkness falls
Silence screams until you let it go
Reach the point of on return
Crying out for someone to take the throne of your life

Life will bring you to your knees
You will search but you won't see
You'll never find what you're looking for
Until you hear the Savior's Call


Millennial Reign

King of Kins, with all power and majesty
And with justice he alone, judges and makes war
Lord of Lords, his eyes blazing like fire
On his head are many crowns, wears a robe dipped in blood

For 1000 years, the throne of grace
For 1000 years, no suffering pain
For 1000 years, Millennial Reign

Word of God, heavens armies are following
As he's wielding the sword, striking down the nations
Faithful and true, is the spirit of prophecy
With the fury and the wrath ruling over creation

For 1000 years, the throne of grace
For 1000 years, no suffering pain
For 1000 years, Millennial Reign

King of Kings, with all power and majesty
And with justice he alone, judges and makes war
Faithful and true, is the spirit of prophecy
With the fury and the wrath ruling over creation


For 1000 years, the throne of grace
For 1000 years, no suffering pain
For 1000 years, Millennial Reign


Musically, this album is just incredible.

I wasn't aware of who the band was, so here is that info in case you missed it:

Rob Rock - Vocals (sang for Angelica, Impellitteri, Rob Rock)
Carl John Grimmark - Guitars(played for Narnia, Grimmark, Divinefire, Audiovision)
Drums - Andreas Johansson(played for Audiovision, Narnia, Rob Rock)
Bass - Andreas Olsson(played for Harmony, 7 Days, Narnia)

So far it does not dissappoint musically or lyrically. Production is incredible, Norm you will absolutely love this disc and anyone else who likes Rob's work will not be disappointed.

When I have a chance to get my bearings after being on vacation, I'll have to order this. Whom did you order from, Naz?

I ordered from CD Japan. I hadn't ordered any CDs for a while and decided that this one was one I really wanted so I popped for the $26 to order it.

I got this disc friday and at first it was not catching on with me as fast as his previous albums. But I have been listening to it this morning and it's finally clicking. I think Holy Hell still has it beat but not by much. The lyrics are definately great!!

I like Rob's music/voice, but I'm not sure that it's worth $26!!!

I also paid the full cost for the Japan version and can honestly say it is one of the few CDs in my collection worth $26.

The bonus track, "Ride The Wind", is an excellent example of 80s metal worth the extra few dollars to get the Japan release.

Naz, you must have had the CD shipped the slowest possible way. I checked, and it is going to cost me $28 and some change to buy the CD and have it shipped Air Mail. To have it sent the fastest way, the disc would have cost over $33 dollars!!!

I ordered my copy from an eBay dealer from Japan, Rock Paradise Japan, and paid $27 with shipping. Unfortunately, they are out of stock of Garden Of Chaos at the moment. But I received the CD within a week, which is pretty good since it came from Japan.

BTW, I hope to have a review online by next weekend.

I had some frequent buyer points from my birthday and that brought the price down a little bit. I had it shipped via airmail and it took just about a week to get to me. My local post office didn't deliver it because they said it required a signature. I had to wait for the weekend to get to the post office and then didn't have to sign for it, the carrier misunderstood the Japanese postal forms on the box which required the sender to sign. For me, this disc is very much in the same vein as Rob's other albums but the lyrics just really click on this one more. I am not sure whether I like this one or Holy Hell more musically, but I believe that lyrically this one is far superior.

$ 33 for one CD that's very enspensive.
I think I'll wait till this CD is out in Europe.

If you wait a couple weeks you will be able to the European version from The End Records for about $14 (or from NEH for about $17-$20) and it will have the WAY better European/American cover art. If you can wait until late October you will be able to the American version from The End Records for only $12!
