Search & Destroy

In 1985 the band appeared at Cornerstone and released a second album entitled Search & Destroy. It was originally released on Patmos Records on vinyl and cassette only. Its lyrics were controversial as well, as the release tackled social issues such as child abuse, drug abuse and runaways through the eyes of a character named Bobby. One reviewer called the result an "overly serious tone and melodramatic feel." Brian Clark responded to the bands critics, stating that "Bobby is part and parcel of all these American tragedies, and Jesus is shown to be real and relevant."
Fast forward to 2019 and Roxx Records has re-issued the album. Philadelphia is: Brian Clark (bass and vocals), Brian Martini (drums), Phil Scholling (guitars), and Ronn Flowers (guitars). James A. Griffin produces, while Bill Bafford executive produces.
We are very excited to be releasing a limited edition vinyl pressing of Search & Destroy as well as a limited edition CD version of Search & Destroy with a brand new never released bonus track exclusively for this CD pressing entitled Losin' Out. The vinyl and CD editions have been fully remastered and have never sounded better courtesy of Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound. As well as a classic new design and package by Scott Waters of No Life Til Metal Graphics. The beautiful vinyl package is being pressed in a quantity of 500 pieces with 150 on a very limited Gold vinyl and 350 on classic black vinyl. The CD version comes housed in a jewel case with 8 panel insert limited to 500 pieces only.
Original cover drawing, colorized. Insert features artwork by fans who submitted their colored cover art to the band. The top runners up are all featured on the insert.
Search & Destroy is a must have album for fans of Christian hard rock and metal. It simply tells the story of a young guy who is troubled, going through life. He is caught in spiritual warfare. Satan tells him he's worth nothing and seeks the destruction of his soul. God calls out to him telling him he's of great value and is perfectly loved and can have eternal life through Christ.
