Bio:

Petra is a music group regarded as a pioneer of the Christian rock and contemporary Christian music genres. Formed in 1972, the band took its name from the Greek word for "rock". Though they disbanded formally in 2006, incarnations of Petra have played reunion shows in the years since and released an album in November 2010. In 2013, the band returned from retirement with a new drummer Cristian Borneo and recorded a new song titled "Holy is Your Name", as well as going back on tour.With a style initially similar to The Eagles and Lynyrd Skynyrd, Petra's sound evolved into a more energetic, driving rock sound in the early 1980s akin to Foreigner, Styx and Journey. Throughout the 1980s and into the early 1990s, Petra was one of the world's most popular Christian rock bands, with each of its albums during that period selling hundreds of thousands of copies while the band sold out arenas and regularly placed songs at the top of Christian radio charts. With its lyrics, music and style, Petra influenced numerous other artists at a time when Christian rock experienced strong opposition from many conservative pastors and churches.In more than three decades, the band experienced numerous lineup changes yet released 20 studio albums, as well as three Spanish-language and two live albums, selling nearly 10 million copies while being nominated for 13 Grammy Awards, winning four, and winning 10 Dove Awards. Its biggest hit, "The Coloring Song," reached the top position on three Christian radio charts simultaneously, and at its peak, the band's tours rivaled Amy Grant's in popularity among Christian audiences. Petra was the first rock band inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame and the first Christian band whose memorabilia was included in the Hard Rock Cafe restaurant chain.The band announced its retirement in 2005, launching a farewell tour that was recorded for release on CD and DVD. Petra's 33-year career ended with a performance in the early hours of January 1, 2006, in Murphy, North Carolina. However, the band has continued to perform sporadically since then. In November 2010, an incarnation of the band's mid-1980s lineup surfaced under the name Classic Petra. They released a CD titled Back to the Rock featuring two new songs as well as re-recordings of hits from that era. The band released a companion live CD and DVD in 2011.

Album:

Two classic recordings by PETRA, one of Christian rock's most awarded and influential bands throughout the '70s, '80s and '90s, were reissued some time ago by Star Song Music as special Anniversary Editions, fully digital remastered including bonus tracks.Requested here on the blog, both truly deserve a place in your Melodic Hard / AOR collection.Let's start with the essential "More Power To Ya".Considered by Petra fans as the group's definitive recording from the '80s, "More Power To Ya" was originally released in 1982 and marked the band's fifth project. Billboard magazine heralded the collection a "Top Album Pick" and praised the band's 'surging music, tough lyrics and effective vocals'."More Power To Ya" is where Petra really hit their stride. The potential in their music had been screaming for release from the beginning and occasionally shone through, but this was where it all came together.Gone were the outdated organ and mini Moog replaced with synthesizers, Louie Weaver breathed new life into the music with his fresh style of drumming, and Greg Volz's vocals are clear and crisp, melodic.Production is flawless, and this remaster makes it sound even better.Musically, "More Power To Ya" is strongly AOR-radio rock oriented with stadium feel choruses. Nearly every track is a stand-out for me.The opening 'Stand Up' gets you fired up for the ride ahead, followed by hooky melodic hard rockers in 'Second Wind', 'Judas Kiss' and the catchy 'Let Everything That Has Breath' among my favorites.We have a great midtempo AOR in 'Rose Colored Stained Glass Windows', then two pretty awesome ballads in the title track and the haunting 'Road to Zion'."All Over Me" is another highlight, an impressive display of Volz's vocal talent with its multiple key change."More Power To Ya" was a 'turning-point' album in Petra's career, going more mainstream with a commercial arena-ready sound, catchy choruses and lots of keyboards, a style developed around the time by the likes of Journey.If you always have been pulled off by Petra's Christian lyrics, it's time you put your prejudices aside, because "More Power To Ya" is a terrific first half of the '80s AOR album packing some incredible songs for the genre."More Power To Ya 30th Anniversary Edition" sounds great in this first time digitally remastered release, offering as plus three bonus tracks.
