Another half-decent rock band who came way too late, because by the time their second opus, 'Last Train' had emerged the world was already succumbing to zombie grunge. But hey, this is good old fashioned holy rock very much in the vein of Stryper - in fact at times one would begin to wonder if this was some sort of rival for the yellow and black attack, but there's room enough for both. Holy Soldier were a more than adequate melodic metal act bolstered by the pure croons of vocalist Steven Patrick, and with tracks such as 'See No Evil' that band really showcased their talent, effortlessly churning out sprightly harmonies with lush choruses and stirring ballads such as 'Eyes of Innocence.' Some really nice songs on here, 'Love Me,' and the more potent 'Stranger' will no doubt catch the ears of those looking for something stronger.
7/10
