Many non-rockers may not realize that behind the yelling, screaming, and hard core rhythms of metal bands, there is a message. Whether its anti-abortion, anti-drugs, or some other serious matter, rockers have a point they want to make with their music just as much as any other musician. This is definitely the case for metal band Before There Was Rosalyn. With the release of their debut album, 'The Fuhrer: An Allegory of a History of Deception,' the band looks to strike into the very core of their fans' hearts while still rocking the house. With a message about our world’s power to create and our power to destroy, this band makes sure a message can still impact us while we rock out.

With a unique blend of classic metal sound, intense lyrical work and well synched and heavy guitar riffs, the band brings forth an age of rock that is seldom heard in today’s world. Mixing old school metal with new age punk, the band consists of Carlos Salazar on vocals, Jeremy Wurts on guitar and vocals, Trent Gibson on guitar, Gregory Sanso on bass and Mark Bolling on drums. Carlos utilizes a unique mixture of soulful ballads with intense, gruff scream fests that appeal to both aspects of the metal world, and the bands use of heavy guitars and non-stop, fast paced drum work is a shining light in a world viewed by most as dark.

'The Fuhrer: An Allegory of a History of Deception', brings forth a wide array of both vocal and musical achievements for the band. With such songs as 'The Architect', 'The Deceiver,' and 'The Warrior,' the band showcases its various talents that make it such a collective and unique group. Out in stores now, we here at Rock on Request recommend this album to all intense, hard core rockers out there looking for a great listen and something to inspire them both musically and intellectually.
