ALBUM REVIEWS Testament is the debut album by the Faithful Church raised a few eyebrows when it was first released in 2003. Order on Order Line on Line makes the bands opening statement and seduces the listener into wanting to hear more. It’s followed by Gog, a prophetic outcry taken from a passage in the Book of Ezekiel. The highlight of the album, however, is Song of the Lamb which features the singing of Tortelvis from Dread Zeppelin. This reggae tune received airplay on the radio and was the Faithful Church’s closest run at becoming a household name. The rest of the album does have some good grooves, but the last track on the record, Leeway into Heaven, captures the comical theme of the band and its disturbing messages. Tortelvis’ voice is also featured on this track. As for the band, Jose Sanchez’s drumming is sound, and Jon Taylor’s voice is featured. It’s a shame Jane Drury’s vocal ability was not used more often on the album but what the listener does hear is exhilarating. The Final Message is the closest the listener will get to a greatest hits collection. Gog and Song of the Lamb were formerly released on their first album, and Orange County was released as a single back in 2005. As for the rest of the songs Holy Bible Atomic Hell Fire Heat sticks out as the most memorable. The song highlights Terri Mowrey’s voice and Robert Trujillo’s bass playing. Misconceptions and Armageddon are two apocalyptic visions of death and destruction, but the best part of The Final Message is the versatility of the Faithful Church. The band mixes a variety styles and is able to keep the listener engaged from beginning until end. Jose Sanchez is a multifaceted drummer and Craig Conte is an accomplished songwriter. Their rhythm section is buffeted by classical pianist Barbara Wheat and Mike Donohue’s texturing on guitar. Jon Taylor’s singer is admirable, but the addition of Terri Mowrey on this album lifts the Faithful Church from amateurs to well established veterans in the LA/OC music scene.
