Bloodgood Veterans of both the heavy metal and Christian rock scenes, Bloodgood s unique blend of music and message has amassed both a fan base that appreciates their music, as well as a body that loves God. Bloodgood has always led with our own unique style of hard charging heavy metal rock as our way of connecting with our fans. But very quickly, the power and impact of the message comes through. Bloodgood has stayed true to not using their influence to spread their own agenda, but instead, God s agenda. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9i7h1zroqc&list=rdt9i7h1zroqc Kiros Kiros is a Canadian Christian Rock band now located in Lloydminster.

Arven Arven is a German metal band from Frankfurt, which has released two studio albums to date. The group referred to their style as Melodic Metal. The band s five girls and drummer Till, come from various musical backgrounds and bring many different influences to their performances resulting in the band s unique sound, which appeals to a broad audience, not only metal and rock fans, but also fans of folk or classical music. Matt Papa Matt Papa is as likely to quote G.K. Chesterton in casual conversation as he is to describe himself as a weird dude. He is a delightful combination of gifted musician and songwriter, loving husband, father of three girls, and inquisitive theologian. And with all those roles and attributes, he remains ever-focused on a singular goal: help people see the beauty and glory of Jesus. Even the title of Papa s latest album, Look & Live, indicates how his evangelistic desire is undergirded by a love of scripture. The first atmospheric piano notes of All for Your Glory commence the tale of creation, the fall of man, and, ultimately, God s victory and our enduring purpose. Papa masterfully composes grand precepts in dramatic and emotional terms.
