Kings N Priests - Change the World

Subject: Kings N Priests - Change the World Sun May 14, 2017 2:44 pm

I found this old band several years ago on an old artist music sharing site (that doesn’t even exist anymore). One of the original band members was sharing music from the bands 1991 album “Change the World”. I remember thinking it was pretty darned good for an indie recording.

It looks like someone other than the original Artist uploaded this to IUMA, but I can attest that the music was be available for free download on a legitimate indie artist site around 10 years ago. I have had the hardest time finding any other information about this band. The written blurb at the UMA site looks to be identical to the one from the previous artist music sharing site I read years ago.

If you have the time give the album a download and check them out. The id-tags are all messed up on the MP3 download so the songs might be attributed to other bands in your music player. I would post a youtube vid for you to check out a song or two, but I can't even find that.

Whoa! That is terrific! How did this band not make more waves back in the day? I know they came late, but a lot of great melodic heavy metal was released in the Christian scene after 1991.

Thanks for the tip!

I always wonder why we don't hear more about them (especially at the CMR), but if you try to search for the band on the web you get almost zero results. I can't even find a picture of their album cover.

I just wish that the MP3s you can download were of higher quality. I may try to remaster them and see if I can get a bit more out of them.

archive.org is the "Wayback Machine" project that is basically an attempt to catalog and preserve the internet for posterity. This is likely the same upload you got from that legit site.

That's pretty much what I was thinking as well. Especially given that it included (verbatum) the singer's synopsis about the band.
It's cool that people are doing that.

I will give it a shot later. I am currently working on redoing the mastering of the first two albums by the blues rock band Cornerstone.

In addition to Jealous, they were also called Armor prior to that apparently. Someone listed a demo tape with the same members from 1989.

I had a demo tape of a band called Armor once. The demo was called "Get Armed". I wish I could find a decent copy of that tape.
