In Texas, Freddy is now the Worship Pastor for Destiny Church in Cedar Hill. Freddy Rodriguez has been the Worship Leader at Champions Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, and recently moved back home to Dallas, TX to be closer to his family. Give it an honest listen and enjoy it.Today’s review covers one of the latest albums offered by Integrity Music, “Champions Live – Light in the Darkness” featuring Freddy Rodriquez. It’s a musical journey through the Narnia cupboard and an adventure within itself! So go out August 2nd, and pick this up. With its bold lyric writing, Narnia has always made their diversity work for them and it’s no different here. Narnia definitely continues to grow on this album without alienating its fan base at all. This tune is gloriously delightful, deep and delicious. It then merges into some acoustic guitars and piano and then into a sound that can only be described as some Pink Floyd sounding melodies. The beginning of this tune will probably remind Narnia Fans of “ The Great Fall“. Rounding out the album is “ From Darkness to Light” Parts 1 & 2. Highlighting the song with an almost YES sounding solo, again a bit proggish, but still fantastic to listen too. With keys and guitars starting things off like fireworks on a national holiday it leads into a surprisingly mellow chorus. “ I Will Follow” comes in second to last. This is another song that is worthy of cranking the volume knob to full, so that others can enjoy it as well, down the street! This one, however, does have a proggish sound to it, (that I don’t enjoy) but Rush or Dream Theatre fans will love it! Next, we come to “ Sail On.” With what I believe is one of the best riffs on the record. This definitely breathes a fresh perspective into what is a beautiful tune. It features for the first time on Narnia albums, some female vocals. Fans might find it similar to “ Thank You” from the previous album, Narnia. “The War that Tore the Land” starts out slow with a beautiful intro. Blended with a molten hot guitar solo, this deserves the volume to be set at eleven! Track By Track Side B While the first half of the song is an 80s style rocker, the second half launches us into what could be a prog-metal sound. This could be the heaviest song on the record. “MNFST” is truly a scorcher! A smooth synth intro leads into one of the best metal riffs this listener has heard in a long time. Fans of the band’s roots will be extremely pleased with this track for that alone! With double stunning guitar solos, this could be another fan favourite. Track number four, “ The Armor of God“, starts with some synthesizer then blows into some real power-metal frenzy. This could be easily the second single from the album! This also could be a great live track for the fans!Ĭoming in third is “ Has the River Run Dry?” This is a mid-tempo rocker with a huge chorus and a great guitar solo that showcases some terrific talent! A very solid tune that could easily become a fan favourite in years to come! With a beginning that could almost remind you of an AC/DC riff, the band comes together into a more in-your-face togetherness. “ You Are the Air that I Breathe” follows next. Powerful choruses and a solo that is sure to leave blisters on your fingers, it’s a fantastic way to open a record. The main riff has more of an edge than most fans would expect from a Narnia tune.

Darkness album review crack#
The opening track, “ A Crack in the Sky” comes in like a train bearing down towards you. With an overall heavier guitar sound to the almost progressive time changes and classic double-bass metal to some atmospheric hard rock, this album seems to have something for everyone! A Track By Track Side A Their new album From Darkness to Light shows the band has chosen to take some risks. The record shows growth from the previous studio album and gives the fans the power-Metal sound they have grown to love from Narnia. With what started as just the beginnings of one song has now become the masterpiece From Darkness to Light. Now under a new label let’s fast forward to 2016. Narnia was celebrating the 15th anniversary of their Long Live the King album by playing live shows and decided to re-release the album as a deluxe edition. After numerous subsequent albums and a break up of the band in 2010, the band announced in 2014 that they had reunited with a new record was in the works.
