The white metal/christian rock scene has a lot of hidden gems that never got out of the circle of christian distribution. Seems like this kind of music found its way to a certain audience based exclusively on the religious message it carried, regardless of the music style, while fans of rock/metal who would appreciate the music had no access to the stuff. Funny situation.
Solid Rock released three albums:
Change of heart (1979)
Interdesign (1983)
Real to real (1985)
The debut just like pretty much all late 70's christian albums lacks direction, getting lost between 70's prog pomp rock, AOR and accoustic singer/songwriter folk/psych stuff. Still it's much better than what well known bands like Petra did at the time. The 1983 album is much more focused on pomp/AOR. The last one seems to be the most interesting, a lyrical pomp/AOR album that will please any fan of this style.
No substitute (Real to real):
Just this side of darkness (Interdesign)
