Not sure why this is lumped into the NWOBHM category. This is basic hard rock through and through and a blatant ripoff of what early Bon Scott AC/DC boogie rock sounds like with some Bachman-Turner Overdrive and other 70s hard rock influences as well. 100% PROOF was a Christian band that preaches the usual dogma that religious zealots find necessary to save our souls from an eternity in a lake of fire but without the finesse that other better bands have done. The song “The Loner” is a specific tribute to Bon Scott warning us against following his footsteps and tales of woe or else....

This album and group exhibit everything I hate in music. First of all they have no original talent but because they have an established theology and ideology it gives them free reign to rip off another group's music that they don't agree with and with an arrogant talentless swagger at that. It would be far more effective if they delivered something fresh and original to deliver their message but because they've elevated themselves to the cult of the holier-than-thou they think they can simply get away with this. If you want good Christian metal go straight to Stryper for something easily digestible and if you want some real talent that is more hardcore head straight to Horde instead of this 100% crap.

Believer is for the most part aggressive thrash metal but moved into progressive territory on their 3rd and 4th album. The 5th album isn´t their best IMO with too many metalcore tendencies. Check out the first two Saviour Machine albums before anything else they´ve released. Some seriously dark music with a apocalyptic lyrical themes. I´m not sure I would call either preachy although they do sing about Christian topics.

Have to check them out. Haven't heard either. I always loved Styper's "To Hell With The Devil." They could write catchy tunes and made no qualms about their beliefs yet did it without coming off as arrogant.

Or Believer I might add. They are a great Christian band and of course Saviour Machine.
