Artist History On November 27th, 28th, 29th, of 1998 we performed for the first time in order to rise funds for our first CD, "The Journey." Each night was at a different location in the city of Toronto, in order to expose our ministry and music to different people. (Matthew) "Eclectic" was the most common word used by the audience to define the sound of the band after the concerts. However it really consisted of progressive rock pieces, such as "Lord's Prayer," "Are You Ready" and "The Lord's Love," surrounded by (light) hard rocks: "Jesus, Lamb of God," "Resting in Him," and delicately constructed ballads: "Faithful," "Rain Down On Us." (Sergio)

Press Reviews "V.I.W. stands for VOICES IN THE WILDERNESS and this Christian Pop/Rock band sent me a copy of their CD 'The journey' which can more be seen as a demo CD, because they are still adding some musical arrangements to the songs. However, the CD gave me a good idea of what this band is all about. Despite some rockers, this band is focusing on soft pop based acoustic songs. Most of the songs are not really sensational and sound a bit too much like a praise/gospel band. The few rockers that are present on 'The journey' are definitely the best songs, such as "I will sing", a great uptempo rocker a la PETRA. And the first two songs ("Are you ready?" and "Lamb of God") are also nice semi rockers. The remaining 6 songs are very 'pop' orientated with many acoustic guitars and soft sounds." (Strutter'zine)
