Press Reviews Strutter'zine AOR (www.angelfire.com/ma/strutteraor/)"CRUSADER-CRUSADER (INDEPENDENT) Out of Montana, USA comes this CRUSADER. A Christian melodic hardrockband that recorded this demo CDR in 1994 and ever since the bandmembers have been doing other projects aside CRUSADER. This only CDR release from 1994 gives us nice melodic hardrock without getting too sensational. There are some nice melodic rockballads such as "Never meant to be" and "Don't cry for me" and the acoustic sing-a-long ballad "Christian unity". The only real rocker is opener "Winning warriors (for God)", nice melodic rock..."
