On Fire!, originally released in 1988, is by far the heaviest of allPetra albums with the exception ofJekyll and Hyde. A true hard rock masterpiece if there ever was one.On Fire!was nominated for a Grammy and won a Dove award for their music video. It was also the first album to include their new bassist, Ronnie Cates.It wasPETRA IN THEIR PRIMEand deserving of all the awards bestowed on them by the critics and fans. AfterThis Means Wardropped in 1987 with such success, no one would ever go on record saying that Petra would be able to top it. That thought would have been ludicrous. But the band, engineers, and producershad other plans, forging an entirely new album that would go down as one of the band’s all-timegreat albums, and for most, their absolute favorite. As much as this album rocks, it also checks all the boxes for a spiritual warfare attack on the kingdom ofdarkness. Make no mistake about it, this is one album thatis athreat to theenemy oranyone that thinks that Petra won’t go down fighting. Theywere absolutely on fire (pun intended). It’s a true representation of what a rock album should be. Just one listen and you’ll quickly understand why Petra was everyones favorite Christian Rock band.
