Katholicus
Katholicus' most recent CD, Arise!, was just released June of 2008. The style of Arise! may be described as melodic hard rock. Others may think theh CD's sound and style are similar to the big arena rock bands of the 80's...in other words, lots of over-driven power guitar chords, exciting guitar solos and double leads, and catchy power-pop melodies.
In true Katholicus style, though, this entire project was done for the greater glory of God and the spreading of His kingdom on earth. With this CD, Katholicus provides the musical energy to motivate you to live your faith with zeal.

Never Alone |
