In 1992 Sardonyx released Majestic Serenity which was an 80's thrash and power metal sound with a "NO COMPROMISE CHRISTIANITY" message. Each song was designed as a Bible study. Almost every line of the lyrics contains Bible references so the listener can look them up.

Majestic Serenity is pure, American power metal! Sardonyx have a lot in common with bands like Meliah Rage, Sacred Warrior, and Testament, and Metal Church. The music is super tight, super heavy, technical, and incorporates heavy doses of progressive and thrash metal as well. Listen to the almost 8 minute track, âPuppet of Beautyâ and you can hear strong Metallica and Megadeth thrash influences. Tom Denlingerâs vocals are outstanding, featuring a clean, mid-range voice that works well for this style. The raw guitar crunch, the thundering bass, pounding drums, and the screaming vocals all come through fine.

As an addition to a digital re-mastering, we have added the 1990 4 song demo entitled Rebel of Reason, available on cd for the first time ever! The release also offers outstanding artwork by renowned artist Caleb Olsen (X-sinner, The Seventh Power, and Final Axe)
