But God…. But God… He had other plans

Surely by now you're no stranger to Bride vocalist extraordinaire Dale Thompson's multiple studio projects (The World Will Burn, Perpetual Paranoia, N.O.G., Dabster Gentlemen.) Though Dale now lives in New Zealand, we get to hear much more from the renaissance man. One of the most popular of his bands has been Dale's collaboration with Hand of Fire guitarist Tiago Souza in Perpetual Paranoia. Thompson's seemingly endless ability to explore the range and scope of his vocal abi

What started off as an unlikely pairing has turned into a partnership that has overcome the kind of challenges that many bands don't survive. What do you do when one half of your band lives in the United States and the other half lives in New Zealand? You learn how to make it work. Vocalist Dale Thompson, best known for his work in Bride, and songwriter Alan Zaring have figured out how to make it work, and the payoff comes in the form of the band’s newest recording. With the

This led Myles Barfield and Dale Thompson, the founding members to write three full albums dedicated to this style, the first song we are releasing is the single “The King of Kings” releasing February 2020! This is a little taste of what is to come on what will begin on our third

Inside were a couple tapes from a little band known as Matrix. The cassettes themselves had printed labels, a step up from hand-written ones as many demos had, but the cover in the case was simply a glossy band photo carefully cut to fit the case. The music was hi

The gift of creativity is an amazing thing, and the chemistry that sparks between creative people is also amazing. Sequestering yourself in a basement or a studio and waiting to see what happens when ideas are brought together is an exciting process. When an album like Nothing’s As Real As It Seems comes along, it’s hard to believe that this process never took place. The World Will Burn is a collaboration between Dale Thompson, best known as the lead vocalist of Bride, and

Last year's biggest surprise was Perpetual Paranoia- The Reapers cd. It flew off the shelves at record pace. We even had to repress the cd within 6 months of release. Fans loved the METAL featuring the talents of Hand of Fire- Tiago, and Dale Thompson of Bride. Something very special happened. So we jumped at the opportunity to bring you a second PP cd- Between the Altar and the Cross! Scroll down to read all about it. Click on the link to view album details and to hear and w

Emerald, along with the band Apostle, has the distinction of being one of the most talented Christian metal bands of the golden era that remained unsigned throughout their musical tenure of the late 70's through the late 80's. The band centered around guitarist Dave Enos, with many members coming and going, the most famous lineup being the one to produce the 6 song ep Armed for Battle in 1987 with Enos, his brother in law Larry Philips on vocals, Roger Dale Martin on bass (wh
