Resurrection Band
Crash kills Cortez woman, seriously injures three kids. Man arrested on suspicion of assaulting, threatening police.
Three Durango schools evacuated after bomb threats. The catchy "Love Comes Down" was chosen as the band's first single and the music video - featuring lots of dance choreography - was a far more polished effort and as a result, received far more airplay on MTV than "Crimes" ever did. It would be three years before REZ returned to the studio to record their next album and much changed in the Contemporary Christian music industry during that time. REZ was no longer the dominant force in Christian rock ; instead, Stryper had burst onto the scene in all their yellow-and-black glory, bringing Christian metal to the mainstream with To Hell with the Devil in , which sold millions of albums and made the band a mainstay on MTV.
Amy Grant had scored her first No. Even Christian alternative music had made inroads into the mainstream when The 77s signed with Island Records and their self-titled album received a favorable review in Rolling Stone. In addition, the Jesus People USA community established the annual Cornerstone Festival during this period, which would serve as a springboard to mainstream success for future Christian artists like Sixpence None the Richer and P. Even the lineup of REZ changed during this time as well. Bassist Jim Denton left to attend theological seminary and was replaced by long-time REZ roadie and songwriter Roy Montroy , who would soon become a major creative force in the band.

Although REZ had been left out of the mainstream success which arguably the band had spearheaded for others, REZ was nevertheless more interested in using its music to speak plainly to both non-Christians about the reality of God and to Christians about their responsibility to the disenfranchised and hurting in the world around them. To that end, REZ returned to the studio in , and the result was Silence Screams , a hybrid of blues , hard rock and heavy metal that served as a musical blueprint for all of the band's successive releases.
Sporting unsettling cover art, Silence Screams deals forcefully with social concerns such as abortion , greed, racial profiling and even terrorism , proving that—as they did with confronting apartheid in —the band was once again ahead of the curve. The album is also unique in that it is the first to have been released on the band's own record label, Grrr Records, a wordplay on Myrrh Records , the most successful Contemporary Christian record label at that time. Now, the band could exercise complete creative and financial control over their music.
Creatively invigorated, REZ released a new studio album every 18 months on average. Each album dealt with current topics of social and spiritual concern, and each release contained more and more blues influence, thanks to lead singer Glenn Kaiser , who was beginning a new career as a blues artist outside of REZ. With Kaiser focusing more of his attention on his solo work, Roy Montroy became a greater contributor to REZ, and for Reach of Love , he wrote every single track, a feat never accomplished before by any member of the band. However, there was a growing sense - not just among music critics but also within the band itself - that the formula was growing stale and that REZ had fallen into a creative rut.

It came in the form of Ty Tabor , guitarist and co-lead singer of King's X. The result of Ty Tabor 's influence was Lament , released in Unlike any of the band's previous work, Lament is the band's first concept album , a song cycle about one man's disillusionment with the harshness and cruelty of life and his growing realization that things cannot change unless he experiences spiritual redemption.
Recognizing the importance of how the songs are ordered, Resurrection Band which had now reverted to its original moniker played the entire album from beginning to end on the tour which supported this album. This was rare enough in rock music—save for The Who and Styx —but unheard of in Christian rock. As a result, the creative rebirth of Lament was highly praised among long-time fans of Resurrection Band as well as prominent Christian music critics, with some calling the album the finest the band ever recorded.
Despite the praise the band received for Lament , Resurrection Band called it quits at the end of the tour; however, it would play an annual live set at the Cornerstone Festival , which had become one of the Christian music industry's pre-eminent events.
Then, in , the band returned to the studio for one last recording. The MTV Unplugged craze was at its highest pitch, and Resurrection Band felt it was an appropriate time to reinvent some of its hard rock material in an acoustic format.
The result was Ampendectomy , featuring 15 selections pulled from the band's history. The reviews of the album were mixed. In July , Resurrection Band brought almost 30 years of music and ministry to a close with a farewell performance, leaving behind them a transformed Christian music industry , and a platform upon which future Christian musicians could build.
