Pre-Order: Out Of The Darkness [Colored Vinyl] [Limited Edition] [Remastered] Vinyl Record

Released in 1989, Bloodgood's Out of the Darkness marked the beginning of a new era for one of Christian metal's most important bands. Following the departure of legendary guitarist David Zaffiro, many fans wondered what Bloodgood would sound like moving forward. The answer was an album that confidently carried the band into a more melodic, polished, and arena-ready hard rock direction without losing the heart, conviction, and intensity that made them legendary in the first place.Rather than trying to recreate the past, Bloodgood evolved. Out of the Darkness blends massive hooks, emotional songwriting, powerful rhythms, and polished production into a record that stands as one of the strongest melodic hard rock releases in the band's catalog. Tracks like ""Mad Dog World"" deliver driving energy and attitude, while ""Top of the Mountain"" remains one of the band's most uplifting and memorable anthems. Throughout the album, Les Carlsen's unmistakable voice carries both grit and vulnerability, giving the songs emotional weight that still resonates decades later.Often overlooked beside the band's earlier heavier material, Out of the Darkness has earned increasing appreciation over time for it's songwriting strength, maturity, and accessibility. Angelic Warlord ranked the album #18 on it's list of the Top 50 Christian Metal Albums of the 1980s - recognition that confirms the album's lasting impact and importance within the genre.For this definitive Retroactive Records vinyl edition, Rob Colwell's remaster brings new depth, warmth, and clarity to the recording, allowing these songs to hit harder and sound fuller than ever before. Scott Waters of NoLifeTilMetal also provides a refreshed artwork layout worthy of this classic release.More than thirty-five years later, Out of the Darkness remains a shining example of late-80s melodic hard rock done right - passionate, memorable, inspiring, and timeless.For fans of WASP, Barren Cross, Bride, Novella, Stryper, and Kiss! This is the ultimate version of this classic album.
