RECON - Demo (1989)

🔘Recon was a Christian power metal band that originated in Los Angeles in 1987. The band has been compared to fellow Christian power metal bands, such as Stryper, Saint and Sacred Warrior. Many of the past members have been in bands such as Vengeance Rising, Deliverance, Worldview and Shades of Crimson. Together, the lineup recorded a self-titled demo, as well as two songs for a compilatior. titled California Metal 2, which also featured Emerald, Mastedon, and several others. With the demo finished, Sanchez departed from the band. Ochoa would bring in Mike Grato to join the band on bass, and the band would enter the studio to record their debut album, Behind Enemy Lines. Erik Mendez (ex-Royal Priesthood, ex-Tourniquet) would also join the band, taking over for Starline, who had gotten married recently. By the end of 1990, however, the band disbanded, with Ochoa and Grato being a part of Deliverance at this time. In 1994, the band reunited for a brief time, though nothing seemingly came of it. In 2001, the band reunited once more, performing at Cornerstone Festival in Recon released their album “Behind Enemy Lines“ in 1990 and helped pave the way for christian Metal music with their Classical Power Metal sound. The name Recon is short for reconnaissance and the meaning is to go behind enemy lines. Recon’s George Ochoa states that “were going behind enemy lines into the devil’s territory. We go there and share the light of Jesus Christ because we are the soldiers and the Lord wins the battles. TRACKLIST_ 1. Light the Fire 2. Dreams 3. Alive 4.
