Wonrowe Vision - Pictures .... One of Steve Rowe’s earlier incarnations was the classic metal band, Lightforce (1986 to 1989). Then he formed Mortification and unleashed the first christian death metal album ‘Mortification’ in 1991. Their 1992 follow-up ‘Scrolls Of The Megilloth’ was a masterpiece of fast death metal with some doom influences. It was a mark of a great band that they were highly regarded in the whole of death metal scene at that time and ‘Scrolls’ is still considered to belong to the elite albums of that scene.

However, Steve still hankered back to those earlier days. His lifelong interest in and passion for 70′s classic heavy rock and early 80′s classic gospel rock led him to form Wonrowe Vision. It is influenced by the 70′s mainstream bands such as Status Quo, Deep Purple and Motorhead combined with the 80′s gospel, hard rock sounds of Resurrection Band, Jerusalem, Barnabas and 100% Proof.

Mortification – Scribe Of The Pentateuch

Back in 1990, something dark and sinister was stirring in Australia. Out of the ashes of the classic metal band, Lightforce, was birthed Mortification. They unleashed the first Christian death metal album ‘Mortification’ in 1991. It was far more brutal than any other christian release at the time. They signed a deal with Nuclear Blast Records who specialised in death metal and released their 1992 follow-up ‘Scrolls Of The Megilloth’ which was a masterpiece of fast death metal with some doom influences. It was a mark of a great band that they were highly regarded in the whole of death metal scene at that time and ‘Scrolls’ is still considered to belong to the elite albums of that scene.

The following years saw their style change to modern groove, thrash metal and hardcore punk with shouted vocals. Their 15th studio album sees Steve Rowe (vocals & bass), Lincoln Bowen (lead & rhythm guitars), Andrew Esnouf (drums) and Troy Dixon (guitar) move back to thrash and death metal. The album title refers to the Pentateuch, which is the first five books of the Hebrew Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy).

In 1987, bass guitarist and vocalist Steve Rowe formed the Australian power metal band LightForce with Murray Adams on guitar, Steve Johnson on vocals and Errol Willenberg on drums. The group played on the local metal scene and signed with American label Pure Metal Records to release their debut album, Mystical Thieves in May 1989.

Below you can read an interview with Steve Rowe, bassist and co-founder of  Lightforce, originally done by the Brazilian webzine Mortifination.

Steve, starting from the end: what was the real motive of the break-up of Lightforce? I remember I read somewhere that there were serious debates about the musical path you wanted to adopt, hence the break-up. Was that true? Continue reading »

‘Steve Rowe’ “I Think A Few People Misunderstand My Perspectives”

Bassist/vocalist Steve Rowe of Australian Christian metallers issued the following message:

I think a few people misunderstand my perspectives. I simply believe that if a Band sells it’s Music as Christian then they should contain 100% Christian Perspectives telling the listener about Salvation through Faith In Jesus Christ Alone. If a Band of Christians want to play Positive Mainstream Music then I believe they should perform & sell their Music outside of The Christian Music Scene. I only have a problem if positive world view Bands sell in Christian Online Stores & in The CBA Market. After All we are supposed to be The Christian Alternative not The Positive Alternative. Being Positive will not save you from hell nor does it edify The Christians who are looking for Music with a Christian Message. Continue reading »
