The PB Rocks 80s Christian Rock / Metal Music Podcast is a MASSIVE serving of Christ-honoring hard rock music, bible teaching and encouragement for your Christian faith!

In this episode, Pastor Brad shares three more tracks from his 2004 release, “Out Of The Hellhole” – Faithfulness, Grace and No Turning Back—Dude—we all NEED all three of these–don’t we? We need God’s faithfulness in our lives and we need to be inspired and empowered to live faith-filled lives for Christ! And it totally goes without saying that apart from GRACE all of us would be toast. I really enjoyed recording this portion of the show—sharing about G.R.A.C.E. or “God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense” … awesome stuff! And then No Turning Back is just a declaration of commitment—that Jesus is THE WAY, THE TRUTH & THE LIFE—and there is no “plan B”.

In addition to sharing these 80s Christian Metal anthems of encouragement with you (I hope they totally Rock You Up), I also sprinkled in a healthy dose of encouragement from the Bible!

Guitarist, Larry Farkas, still has the touch and opens several songs with live guitar licks as the guys reflect on some of their favorites on DIE HAPPY II and their live studio album titled, INTENSE LIVE SERIES VOL 4. Bassist, Roger Dale Martin, joins the conversation via FaceTime and tells the story of how their close bond and song lyrics developed as they walked together through homelessness, marriage, death and bleak tour conditions.

When vocalist Robyn Kyle Basauri joined Die Happy, he took the band in a totally new direction from their Vengeance Rising sound and they couldn’t be happier. Robyn (via FaceTime) shares some of his thoughts about the group’s recordings. Listeners are sure to get chills up and down the spine from his multi-octave vocals.
