About Me
As one of the pioneers of the modern Christian music genre, The Daniel Band’s appeal to a varied listening audience has not diminished with time. The band always showcased searing vocals and screaming guitar arrangements that never ceased to impact our sonic environment with unattenuated conviction.Originally released in 1983, STRAIGHT AHEAD, while adhering to well earned rock formulas, takes bold, expansive moves. From the haunting melody of “In My Mind†to the visceral attack of “Lustful Illusions†and the "in-your-face" “Reality,†this collection of songs is an excursion to fresh musical avenues that never stray too far from the band’s signature offering of high energy riffs and to-the-point lyrics.Originally released in 1984, Run From the Darkness was Daniel Band’s personal salute to all those who can - and do - rock. With RFD, the band pulls out all the stops, and pledges allegiance to the mid 80's era of classic hard rock and heavy metal. Tony Rossi peels off one meaty riff after another on swaggering commercial metal heavy weights like “Sixteen†and the title track. Perhaps no Christian metal song induced instant fist-pumping and air guitar than “Walk on the Water,†which received generous airplay on Canada’s MuchMusic (Canada’s version of MTV).
RFD will blow you away with the melodic mentality of Kiss, but the ability to rock you, like AC/DC! This classic now has two bonus tracks from the original 1980 demo, as well as being an enhanced CD with the hit video of “Walk on the Water†available for the first time ever!
