Album Notes

We are a group of five guys who got together in the fall of 2000 for one reason, to play metal music like it was made to be played and put out a good positive message while doing it.

We hail from central Illinois in the East Peoria / Pekin area and are expanding our gig touring into surrounding states. Our music is a combo of old school metal with dueling leads to the new wave Euro metal that incorporates melodic phrases in it. So if your into a head-banging good time with solid music that will have you thinking about it days after the show come check us out at a location near you soon.

"Great song. I know most of the songs on here by heart. In a world where people are ashamed of God due to a self manipulated existence. StrangeLand fears not to spread their love for God in music. amazing leads production. the whole deal. this is just a great song. The enemy has fallen. by StrangLand.
"..can you see him coming from the sky.."
Yes. yes I can. Just may he forgive me for all my sins once he has arrived. Your bravery is appreciated. rock on."
