The site is still under construction, so the only part that's open for business at the moment is the forums, and they look like they've only been active for a couple of weeks at most. Stop by and say "hi" if you're so inclined... I did. :P

A Barren Cross update from Blabbermouth!! SWEET news! They're working on new material!! :banger:

 

BARREN CROSS 'Is Officially 100% Back' - May 29, 2008

 

Vocalist Michael Drive (a.k.a. Mike Lee) of the Christian metal band BARREN CROSS has issued the following update (excerpts only):

 

"First and foremost; I am happy to announce: BARREN CROSS is officially, 100% BACK!

 

"There has been great healing done in the band, and we are being raised up to an entirely new level. We are back in form and are out there performing again!

 

"BARREN CROSS is not just 'talking' about it, but we have now, as of this last week, officially decided to record a brand new full-length album! Inspiration like never before has already begun; we have already started writing for it! As a writer and the lead singer since our inception in 1983, I can feel it already; this is going to be, by far, the best BARREN CROSS album ever put out. I would like to add that the table is now open for any offers from producers and studios who would like to be involved with us. This is going to be greater than anything we have ever done.

 

"It is very possible that I will be embarking on a two-month 'solo unplugged' tour of the United States either this fall or winter. Right now is a period of time when the venues have the opportunity to get an 'MD' show booked, and following this period, when there are enough venues booked, we will be contacting all of them to schedule the dates. This is where you come in: I'm asking you to contact whoever you know that might be interested in having me perform, whether it's your church, club, or other. If you want to help with this, please contact 'KJ' who is specifically handling this tour: northsouthbooking@cox.net.

 

"In case you don't know, in the modern rock genre, I have been doing solo albums and performances, both solo-unplugged, OR with a band: mostly in Europe in the recent years, as I was based in Paris, France; but also in the U.S., where I am now based, in Hollywood, CA; the land of my childhood.

 

"For those of you who don't know, on June 26, 2006, I had a very powerful encounter with God, and a radical transformation that followed. It's the most incredible thing that ever happened to me. If you would like to read about this, you can find it here."

Yea, Mike Lee has apparently gone thru a "transformation" of some sort and he's been living in Paris doing weird artsy rock kinda stuff for the past few years... he's now known as "Michael Drive" for whatever reason... he sounds like he's gone a little screwloose to me but I'm still looking forward to hearing some new B.C. stuff.

For some stupid reason, my work computer is preventing me from accessing the website, but no matter, I heard all I need to hear--Barren Cross is working on new material! Hopefully Mike Lee (Michael Drive) hasn't gone so "mad hatter" on us that he steers the band in an experimental direction. I want to hear a heavy, hard-hitting, oldschool (with modern production values) Barren Cross album! If they can maintain a state of control, they will once again rock for the King in the atomic arena and unapologetically rattle your cage... :)

The Barren Cross website I linked in my first post has seen absolutely no construction progress since I last posted about it... and the forum is now full of porn-related spam. Guess they ain't got nobody moderating that thing!! :angry:

 

However, this appears to be their new "official" web site:

 

http://barrencross.net/

 

No forum/message board at this one (at least not yet) but it is way more "finished" than the other site.

 

Or if you're MySpace inclined, you can say hi to BC there as well: http://www.myspace.com/barrencross

The spam troubles at the B.C. forum appear to have been resolved. Someone must've poked the moderator with a stick and woke him up.

I was just perusing the B.C. website to see if there were any updates on their current activities, and found this rather disturbing (to me at least) tidbit at the end of their "History" section:

 

"Barren Cross is back writting (sic) new material for a new album and is in the throws (sic) of consideration of re-recording Atomic Arena.

 

:yikes: No, NO, NO!!! They should NOT re-record ATOMIC ARENA!! That album is absolutely perfect the way it is, and is Top Ten of All Time for me! LEAVE IT ALONE!! BAD IDEA!! BAD BAD BAD!!!

 

(Phew) Thanks, I just had to get that off my chest...
