1583 - Petra Jekyll and Hyde 2003

After the release of "Revival", Petra's third praise album and their first album with Inpop Records, John Schlitt says fans started sending e-mails to the record company asking them for a more straightforward rock album.  
Bob Hartman lays down an incredibly tight and heavy rhythm guitar sound on this release.
Lead vocalist John Schlitt (Head East), who has been with the band since the mid-eighties, contributes a terrific classic hard rock voice that perfectly complements the bands move to a more guitar driven sound.
On the albums title track the band pulls no punches in combining a driving rhythm guitar sound and a good catchy chorus with a message based around Romans 7:15:

I have a secret that I let nobody see
An evil shadow that's been hanging over me
My alter ego that I try to hold at bay (but)
Despite my good intentions he can always get away
He does the things that I don't want to die
Sometime I feel like Jekyll & Hyde
