Holy Soldier is a Christian Heavy Rock band from Los Angeles, California. Formed in 1985, Holy Soldier released its self-titled debut on Word/A&M Records (Myrrh imprint) in 1990 to critical and commercial acclaim. Two years later, the band followed up their debut with Last Train, another critical success. The commercial success of Last Train, however, did not live up to its critical acclaim, and the record label promptly dropped the band from its roster. Shortly thereafter, lead vocalist Steven Patrick abruptly left the group.

Undaunted by Patrick’s unexpected departure, the band quickly replaced Patrick with Eric Wayne, who helped move the band into a grungier sound. Wayne’s lower vocal register allowed Holy Soldier to compete in the metal market with the likes of Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Crash Test Dummies, and Soundgarden. After Holy Solider’s reinvention and extensive touring, the band was signed to ForeFront Records in 1994. Once again recruiting the production skills of David Zaffiro, Holy Solider released Promise Man the following year. Despite the success of Promise Man, ForeFront Records dropped the band from its label. In 1997, after a short hiatus, Holy Soldier independently produced a live retrospective album featuring both current frontman Eric Wayne and original vocalist Steven Patrick. After the release of Encore, Holy Soldier officially disbanded.

    One of the best Heavy Metal bands in the 80's. Unfortunately their "Christian Band" label kept them undiscovered by the masses.

    mendesweb, nice to see that your a hypocrite, no better then the same Pharisees that nailed Christ to the cross, bashing one "christian rock" band and listening to the other (Krystal Meyers – Make Some Noise). Please get a life, read Psalms (it says for ALL things to praise, DRUMS & CYMBALS & VOICES), read John (all things are made by the word, EVERYTHING that was made was made by God -I think the term EVERYTHING would include musical styles ie: post grunge rock, rap, industrial metal, acid rock, jazz, southern rock, etc). Please don't post to a bands profile page if all your going to do is rip on their fans & style. We like Holy Soldier, their music is good. Plus it just shows how dum & childish you are.
