1 (4:56) The River - It's a folksy
soft rock tune written after the great Midwest flood of '93. We took it
personally. Our drummer lost his home to the flood and so did one of the
guys from the studio. We end it with a positive cause & effect moral.

It's a nickname that has stuck to us. (We are Sabbath keeping Christians and so a lot of people think we are Jewish.) Play sample. Buy this Song (MP3). Track 3 (3:37) The Mighty Men of Olde - Barry was inspired to write this way back in 1972 when he was just a lad. Compares the time before the Noatian deluge with our time today, and ends with the prophecy concerning this generation. Teresa's vocals really augment this folk song. Play sample.

A hard-hitting rock tune developed. The rest is history. Play sample. Buy this Song (MP3). Track 5 (4:50)
The Tribulation - We weren't sure
we could use this one. It sounded empty and without enough punch for BRIMSTONE.
But then Bones set the pace by laying down a dynamite drum part. Doc's
bass line made us think the song had a chance to live. Jesse came through
with some unique sounding keyboards that brought the song back to life.
We now think it's one of our best. The ending is a blast. Play

A Woman Who Fears the Lord - Written
by Barry for his awe inspiring wife Elise and was sung at their wedding
(But she wouldn't let Barry sing it there.) Every album needs a mellow
love song or two. Play

The Prince of the Scarlet Thread
- Was originally going to be the title song of the album. This quick moving
ballad tells the awesome story of where the throne of David can be found
today. Play

Sudden Destruction
- Our title song. Austin's electric lead comes to life here in a dramatic
way. This one might get us into trouble if people don't listen closely
to the lyrics. The semi-cloaked message we deliver here is the most important
truth for understanding end-time Bible prophecy. The title song of our
next album will completely decloak the meaning, and tears of joy and sorrow
will fill your eyes with the profound understanding that will be revealed
then. One thing to remember, this song is not about that country in the
Middle East called "Israel". Play

Patiently Waiting - The key to this
song was the drums. Bones brings us in and out of some very difficult
rhythm changes dynamically and with precision. The acoustic lead in this
song builds to a crescendo during an inspiring 32 measure riff. The lyrics
speak of the powerful and triumphant return of the Messiah. Play

Somethin' Good's Gonna Happen - We
wanted to end on a positive note, and this tune filled the bill. It's
just a good old fashioned rock and roll tune. It has a surprise intro
and some pretty meaningful and thought provoking lyrics. Play
