“Roxx Records is ready to bring you our latest re-issue and it is a doozy! In fact, this one is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year! And it has NEVER been released on CD! One of the earlier releases from the Frontline Records catalogue comes by way of a hard rock band similar to Idle Cure and Whiteheart. That band is D.O.X., which was a clever acronym for Defenders Of The Cross, who would debut with their self-titled album in 1986. This would be the band’s debut and one-and-only release on Frontline Records, although in 1989 they would release their sophomore record ‘Through The Fire’ independently before fading away and becoming another underground hidden gem in the Christian rock world. Amazingly, this album was arranged and produced by a very notable and high-profile producer who was in high demand at that time – Terry Scott Taylor (Daniel Amos, Swirling Eddies, Lost Dogs) – and he also penned a couple of the tracks on this release. Frontline Records only released this one on vinyl and cassette as, at this point in time when it came to physical media, the CD was just starting out. D.O.X.: Defenders Of The Cross will be released in a beautiful jewel case collector’s edition CD, complete with an 8-page full-lyric booklet. The original cover art has been enhanced and the album underwent a special 40th anniversary remaster courtesy of Rob Colwell (Bombworks Sound).” –Roxx Records
