Schmidt, B. Reiter Record Label:- Massacre Records Lyndon Lai Tan- Bridges Produced by Gabriel Pierre Matt Papa - The Glory of God Written by Matt Papa and Kelby Dover Bloodgood Veterans of both the heavy metal and Christian rock scenes, Bloodgood’s unique blend of music and message has amassed both a fan base that appreciates their music, as well as a body that loves God. Bloodgood has always led with our own unique style of hard charging heavy metal rock as our way of connecting with our fans. But very quickly, the power and impact of the message comes through. Bloodgood has stayed true to not using their influence to spread their own agenda, but instead, God’s agenda. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9I7H1ZROqc&list=RDt9I7H1ZROqc Kiros Kiros is a Canadian Christian Rock band now located in Lloydminster.

The band played their final show at First Baptist Church in Lloydminster, performing songs from all of their albums and were joined by all past and present band mem- bers. on November 30 in Mexico and December 3 in Germany. Cloverton Without the support of a record label, the band, consisting of Lance Stafford (piano/vocals), his twin brother, Layne Stafford (bass), Kirby LeMoine (drums) and Josh Svorinic (guitars), propelled onto the Christian music scene in 2011 as the first ever ROCK THE CAMP contest winners hosted by TobyMac and Camp Electric. Soon after receiving this prestigious honor, Cloverton scored the #1 most downloaded song in the history of KLOVE radio for their first single “Take Me into the Beautiful,” which also climbed the CHR charts to #12 and #17 on the overall Christian Billboard top 25. After a season of racking up countless numbers of miles traveling all over the world playing shows, festivals, and even cruises, Cloverton ventured back into the studio with producer Joshua D. Niles (Nashville, Tennessee) to record their highly anticipated first full-length album Patterns. The Choir The Choir was originally formed as Youth Choir in the early 1980s by Derri Daugherty on guitar and Steve Hindalong on drums. The band later expanded to include Tim Chandler on bass guitar, Dan Michaels on saxophone and Marc Byrd on vocals. With nearly 30 years together as a band, The Choir has a track record that any band can be envious of. The Choir has found a resurgent fan base populated with long- time fans, many of whom have literally grown up listening to the band’s catalog. The Choir’s music has been described by the Los Angeles Times as “magical songs that combine strains of murky psychedelia with pure pop”. Billboard praised the band for its “dark poetic leanings, effects-laden guitars and strong melodic hooks.” 3 In the same 3 In The Same are Soldiers for Christ and their sole purpose is to serve the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Their motivation is not influenced by their own personal gain, but rather to see Christ glorified and to spread His good news throughout the United States and abroad. The band was formed in late 2003. Individually, each member brings in a minimum of 14 years of experience in music. The members of the band also gained experience as a group by leading worship in their local church. 3 In The Same shows continuous growth through recording and writing of original material; along with this material, the group is also working on a large selection of praise and worship music to expand their field of ministry. Kaylan Mackinnon Audio Adrenaline was a Grammy Award-winning Christian rock band that formed in the late 1980s at Kentucky Christian University in Grayson, Kentucky. Audio Adrenaline, along with other Christian music acts like dc Talk and Newsboys, helped fuel a revolution in the “alternative” Christian music genre. This was started by bands like Under Midnight, Mortal, Circle of Dust and the indie labels Blonde Vinyl. During the band’s 17-year existence, they were awarded two Grammy awards, multiple Dove Awards and they released 17 number one singles. They were regular performers at the annual Creation Festival, Spirit West Coast festi- val and Agape Music Festival.

Today, Jeff regularly leads worship at Tenth Church Kitsilano and studies at Regent College. Lyndon Lai Tan Hailing from Trinidad and Tobago, Lyndon Lai Tan sets a founda- tion with uplifting, spiritual and positive lyrics to catapult into the cre- ation and production of some of the most interesting and experimen- tal contemporary, alternative rock music in the Caribbean Christian rock scene. His music has led him to enjoy regional commercial success and a regular feature in stand-out local festivals like AprilFest, OctoberFest and is a regular on Trinidad’s iconic rock segment, Total Local. Arven Arven is a German metal band from Frankfurt, which has released two studio albums to date. The group referred to their style as Melodic Metal. The band’s five girls and drummer Till, come from various musical back- grounds and bring many different influences to their performances resulting in the band’s unique sound, which appeals to a broad audience , not only metal and rock fans, but also fans of folk or classical music. Matt Papa Matt Papa is as likely to quote G.K. Chesterton in casual conversation as he is to describe himself as a “weird dude.” He is a delightful combination of gifted musician and songwriter, loving husband, father of three girls, and inquisitive theologian. And with all those roles and attributes, he remains ever-focused on a singular goal: help people see the beauty and glory of Jesus. Even the title of Papa’s latest album, Look & Live, indicates how his evangelistic desire is undergirded by a love of scripture. The first atmospheric piano notes of “All for Your Glory” commence the tale of creation, the fall of man, and, ultimate- ly, God’s victory and our enduring purpose. Papa masterfully composes grand precepts in dramatic and emotional terms.
