The story began when Rex discovered Argentine vocalist Romina Barba<\/strong> through a YouTube video of her singing a Whitecross song. He was immediately struck by the power and character of her voice. When Romina explained that she would love to sing more Whitecross material but didn’t have instrumental tracks available, Rex realized he could do something about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rex began digging through the Whitecross archives and discovered studio recordings, outtakes, previously released recordings, and tracks that could be completed to provide the musical foundation for an entire project. With Romina adding her incredible Spanish-language vocals, Rex’s idea became Legado de Fuego<\/em> \u2014 a unique new chapter in the Whitecross legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And this is much more than simply a collection of Whitecross favorites translated into Spanish. The album includes \u201cLa Oraci\u00f3n Es Poder (Power of Prayer),\u201d a previously unreleased song originally written for Whitecross<\/strong>, along with a brand-new Rex Carroll guitar solo on \u201cJack Conejo (Jack Rabbit)\u201d<\/strong> recorded specifically for this release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The musical foundation is pure Whitecross: Rex Carroll<\/strong> on guitars, longtime Whitecross drummer Michael Feighan<\/strong>, and Benny Ramos<\/strong> on bass. Feighan’s extensive career beyond Whitecross has also included work with Oz Fox of Stryper, Guardian, Curious Fools, B.J. Thomas, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But at the heart of Legado de Fuego<\/em> is Romina Barba<\/strong>. Her powerful voice was the inspiration that set the entire project in motion, bringing a fresh energy and Spanish-language identity to songs that Whitecross fans have loved for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remixed by Rex Carroll and mastered by Rob Colwell<\/strong>, Legado de Fuego: Cl\u00e1sicos en Espa\u00f1ol<\/em> is packaged in a jewel case with a beautiful 12-page booklet<\/strong> featuring Spanish lyrics, photos, liner notes, and more. For longtime Whitecross collectors and a new generation of Spanish-speaking Christian rock and metal fans, Legado de Fuego<\/em>celebrates the past while taking these classic songs somewhere they have never gone before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n KEY FEATURES & COLLECTOR DETAILS<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Classic Whitecross songs given new life with powerful Spanish-language lead vocals by Argentine vocalist Romina Barba<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Project conceived and produced by legendary Whitecross guitarist Rex Carroll<\/strong> after discovering Romina singing Whitecross on YouTube<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Built from authentic Whitecross studio recordings, including previously released material, outtakes, and recordings Rex discovered in the archives<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Features Rex Carroll<\/strong> on guitars, Michael Feighan<\/strong> on drums, Benny Ramos<\/strong> on bass, and Romina Barba<\/strong> on lead vocals<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Includes \u201cLa Oraci\u00f3n Es Poder (Power of Prayer)\u201d<\/strong> \u2014 a previously unreleased song originally written for Whitecross<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Includes a brand-new Rex Carroll guitar solo<\/strong> on \u201cJack Conejo (Jack Rabbit),\u201d created specifically for this release<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Remixed by Rex Carroll<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Mastered by Rob Colwell<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 12-page booklet featuring Spanish lyrics, photos, Rex Carroll liner notes, and more<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Packaged in a jewel case \/ Limited to just 300 copies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Cover artwork and design by Rafael Taveras Grip<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n BUY: https:\/\/boonesoverstock.com\/ VIDEO: Whitecross – Basta (Enough Is Enough)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Some albums take months to complete. The Kingdom<\/strong> took more than thirty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Originally conceived in the late 1980s, this remarkable collaboration between American guitarist Ken Adler<\/strong>, Swedish vocalist Christian Liljegren<\/strong>, and legendary Leviticus<\/strong> and XT<\/strong> guitarist Bj\u00f6rn Stigsson<\/strong> remained unfinished for decades before finally being completed and released for the very first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This historic release is presented as a special collaboration between Retroactive Records<\/strong> in the United States and Melodic Passion Records<\/strong>, the Swedish label founded by Christian Liljegren. Together, the two labels have brought these long-lost recordings to life exactly as they were intended to be heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The album delivers soaring vocals, memorable hooks, powerful guitar work, and timeless melodic hard rock rooted in the golden era of European Christian metal.

Slayer had Reign in Blood<\/em>. Exodus had Bonded by Blood<\/em>. For Deliverance, Weapons of Our Warfare<\/em><\/strong> became that defining record<\/strong> \u2014 an album where speed, precision, aggression, melody and conviction came together in extraordinary fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jimmy P. Brown II’s powerful and technically demanding rhythm guitar drives the album from beginning to end, while the guitar interplay between Brown and George Ochoa delivers relentless riffs and leads. The songwriting had grown substantially as well, with longer and more ambitious compositions foreshadowing some of the progressive territory Deliverance would explore later without sacrificing the speed-metal attack that made the band such a force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From the opening combination of \u201cSupplication\u201d and \u201cThis Present Darkness\u201d through the explosive title track, \u201cFlesh & Blood,\u201d \u201cSlay the Wicked,\u201d \u201cGreetings of Death,\u201d \u201cIf We Faint Not\u201d and more, Weapons of Our Warfare<\/em> delivered songs that became genuine anthems for an entire generation of metal fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The title track also broke remarkable new ground. The video for \u201cWeapons of Our Warfare\u201d became the first Christian metal video to receive airplay on MTV and spent twelve consecutive weeks among the top three on the network’s Headbanger’s Ball<\/em>countdown. In 1999, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich hosted a program in which he named \u201cWeapons of Our Warfare\u201d among his Top 10 metal videos of all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More than three decades later, Weapons of Our Warfare<\/em> continues to be regarded as one of the defining albums in Christian speed and thrash metal. It ranked #3 on Christian Metal Realm’s Top 100 Christian Metal Albums<\/strong> and #16 on Angelic Warlord’s Top 50 Christian Metal & Hard Rock Albums of the Nineties<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this 2026 Retroactive Records Collector’s Edition<\/strong>, the album has been newly remastered by Rob Colwell<\/strong> and expanded across two CDs with 18 tracks<\/strong>. The original album is joined by eight bonus recordings, including \u201cRescue,\u201d a studio recording made for <\/strong>Weapons of Our Warfare<\/em><\/strong> but ultimately not used on the original album<\/strong>, plus seven recordings from the Weapons of Our Warfare<\/em> demo sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The collector’s presentation includes a 16-page booklet<\/strong>, and an exclusive new approximately 920-word retrospective by Retroactive Records’ Matthew B. Hunt<\/strong>. Hunt writes from the perspective of a fan who discovered Deliverance through \u201cAttack\u201d on the 1987 California Metal<\/em> compilation and, nearly four decades later, found himself helping preserve and reissue the music that made such an impact on him as a teenager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The expanded edition also provides another window into the creation of this classic album. \u201cRescue\u201d gives fans a completed studio recording from the original album sessions that didn’t make the final record, while the seven demo recordings allow listeners to hear these songs taking shape before becoming the versions generations of Deliverance fans came to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n KEY FEATURES & COLLECTOR DETAILS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/unnamed-56-1024x1024.jpg\")
