“Roxx Records is excited to bring you a brand new limited edition series entitled Roxx Gems, a series that will focus on many special Christian rock releases that may not have otherwise been able to get a vinyl or CD remastered edition. Items originally released in short run, cassette-only demos or maybe previously unreleased Gems from bands that have let us in to their archives. It may even feature a special instrumental artist from days gone by. This series has taken off and we are very excited to bring you the latest edition by way of Volume Five, set to feature classic Christian metal band SARDONYX and a previously unreleased gem from way back in the day called BLOOD JUSTICE. Let’s check out the music from Gems Volume Five starting with the amazing band SARDONYX, hailing from the East Coast Pennsylvania area of the US, who started way back in 1988. 35 years ago in 1990 ‘Rebel Of Reason’ is the demo that started it all for SARDONYX – a self-released cassette-only release containing 4 killer Christian metal tunes for the world to get their first official recorded taste of SARDONYX. Enjoy the remastered title track ‘Rebel of Reason’ today! Second on this amazing release we focus on a killer band you may not have ever heard of before hailing from the New Mexico area of the US – BLOOD JUSTICE. The band formed back in 1984 and released only one cassette demo featuring 4 tracks. The band would sell it at gigs and through mail-order and got a really good write-up on the demo in Heaven’s Metal Magazine back then. They were short-lived but the band would record one more track in the early 90s that would feature the talents of Greg Analla from SEVENTH SIGN and we have that long-lost track added to this collection as the band recently located it. You can read the whole story in the CD liner notes. This is a one-time short-run release on limited edition CD and was meticulously remastered by Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound. So what are you waiting for you classic Christin rockers? These gems are sure to become much sought-after collector’s items – secure your copy today!” –Roxx Records
