One Way

"What many do not know is that the artist can actually trace his beginnings to the mid-eighties and Redeemer, a relatively obscure group that put out a single demo tape in 1986 prior to disbanding several years later. Obscure from the standpoint that not much is known about Redeemer (the group pretty much fell beneath the radar) and that said demo received so little distribution as to make it virtually impossible to find. Bill Menchen, to his credit, put out a 2 CD set (11 songs each) in 2007, Double Edge Sword and Anno Domini, made up of Redeemer songs that either appeared on the original demo or were never previously recorded.
A third Redeemer CD, One Way from the fall of 2011, finds Bill Menchen re-recording 12 of the 22 songs from the two 2007 releases but this time as a full band effort in that he is joined by cousin Bruce Menchen on bass and Robert Sweet (Stryper) on drums. Bill Menchen handled all instrumentation on Double Edge Sword and Anno Domini. One Way came into being when Janice Sweet, mother of Robert & Michael, took over the artist’s management and decided to put together a new demo CD to shop to various labels. She subsequently reviewed the various projects to feature Bill Menchen on vocals and decided that Redeemer was the best and, as a result, constructed the One Way track listing from the Double Edge Sword and Anno Domini material."
