Label: Rugged Records
Released: 1994
Type: Full-Length
Rating: 5/5 Skulls (1)
Released in 1994 by Rugged Records, this was a critically acclaimed and received album upon its release. It blended old-school heavy metal with the emergent grunge style that was just becoming popular at the time of its recording. Hailed as a "breakthrough" album taking old time Christian church hymns and reworking them in a new and novel way into the current rock styles of the time as a new way to present these old time classic Christian hymns to new music listeners.
"AHTP" was ground breaking at the time of its release, a fan favorite and is still considered by many to be the premier "Rock Hymns" album of its genre. Upon its release, Doug Van Pelt of Heavens Metal Magazine stated "All Hail the Power is the best rock hymns album I've EVER heard!".

Reviews For "All Hail The Power"
Hymns the way they should be
by tombie on 10/20/2011
I love this album! Old Hymns done in true metal fasion! Amazing Grace is truly amazing, love the start with the record playing with some lady who couldn't hold a tune if she had a caddy, singing Amazazing grace painfully out of tune before it kicks in to PK style. There are many guest vocalists on this album and it is just plain fun. My favorite songs are "Amazing Grace", "Nothing But The Blood", "oh How I Love Jesus", "Leaning On The Everlasting Arms", and "All Hail The Power". Great album, I highly recommend it and if you find the "Amazing Grace" video, check it out!
