Evolving from thrash metal to a more progressive, symphonic brand of metal with classical vocals and instruments, the CCM group Believer formed in the late '80s. Vocalist/guitarist Kurt Bachman and drummer Joey Daub are the only constants in the continually revolving lineup. Believer's debut album Extractions from Mortality (1989) also included guitarist Dave Baddorf, bassist Howe Kraft and violin playing by Scott Laird, but 1990's Sanity Obscure replaced Kraft with Wyatt Robertson and added the vocals of Julianne Laird Hoge. In 1993, Believer was added to the Roadrunner stable for Dimensions, an album that included William Keller as the Voice. Bachman and Daub later put the group on indefinite hiatus while the two did production work for such artists as Turmoil and Living Sacrifice out of their Trauma Studios in Pennsylvania. ~ John Bush, Rovi
The first time i heard of believer was on the At Death's Door a death metal compilation until i discovered that they were a Christian Death Metal band after i was listening to Mortification a C hristian grindcore Death metal band from melborne australia.
Used to watch these guys practice in Joey's moms basement!!! So good way ahead of their time...as good and better as ANY thrash band!!! Christian or not!!
Believer has a new album out. Actually, it's been out for over a year. So the "indefinite hiatus" is over. Time to update the bio and the music. It's called Gabriel if you're looking. iTunes has it.
No, Believer did not "start" Christian Metal*, but they helped make it better. I bought "Extraction" as a cassette when it first came out and man it was good. Until then I guess we made due with Vengeance (Vengeance Rising) and Deliverance-- the only other prominent speed / thrash bands of spiritual bent. Other good ones to note were British bands Seventh Angel and Detritus, the great Austalian band, Mortification was apearing at the time (as Lightforce) too. Living Sacrifice was not too far be
