Right from the start I was drawn in by the hard rock sound. I am a sucker for anything with a bit of a metal backbone, and Four Star Revival definitely delivered what I was looking for. With a sound similar to that of an 80's metal band, Four Star Revival delivered something unique with this album that you don't hear a lot of today.
The band is made up four veteran musicians; Jack Emrick (vocals), Benny Bodine (guitar), Ed Girard (bass) and Eddie Ling (drums). From listening to the album you can tell that these musicians have experience, because they are very some very talented musicians!
Lyrically, you can hear that Four Star Revival is a Christian band from the messages they share. I do wish that the songs told a bit more of a story, so that they would be easier for listeners to relate to. However, I understand that part of that comes with the territory of playing hard rock/metal music.
All in all I thought Knights of the Revival was a good album. There were quite a few solid tracks on the album and a couple that were a little weaker. Overall though this was a great effort from Four Star Revival, and a good debut album.

Knights of the Revival has pulled me through some VERY DARK MOMENTS in the past few weeks. I am about to check out Four Star Revival in hopes that the jam is similar. In the meantime PLEASE BRETHREN... 🙏 You must release more because this is the power the modern age needs to feel.
I'm 53 yrs old and I love music that shows your feeling the music you produce. (Battle Scars and Where I Belong) pulled me away from my old school metal and new age (Avenged Sevenfold). Summary: you've given a Gen-Xer much audible pleasure 🙏 please continue 🙏 God bless you and Yours
"Battle scars" --- YES!!!!!
Whenever l feel l am going to break in life, l listen to that song " l Will Not Break". My favorite though is " OUR KING IS COMING".
I have just recently discovered your band and am very excited as your lyrics suggested solid grounding in God’s Word. We ARE called to be disciples, yes, but we are in the battle for, not just our own souls, but for the souls of our families, our friends, and all we care about; hence the need for the ‘Warrior Spirit.’ And this music helps to give that ‘brotherhood’ mentality of a common enemy that needs not just strength and courage to battle, but also brotherly/sisterly support and backing. It doesn’t hurt that, in addition to myself, I have six blood relatives and three on my husband’s side (who is retired AF) who have served and kept that ‘Warrior Spirit’ alive and well in support of ALL our Warriors. And that spirit is more important now than ever as we face uncertain moments in this current world as we await the Lord to take us Home. Thank you for this push to be strong in Him as we do so.
