When Bloodgood released Rock In A Hard Place in 1988, it caught many fans completely off guard. The blistering metallic attack of the band's earlier releases gave way to a more melodic, polished, and emotionally layered hard rock approach - but make no mistake, this album still carries the unmistakable passion, conviction, and power that made Bloodgood one of the most important bands in Christian metal history.
Instead of chasing trends, Bloodgood expanded their sound. Songs like "She's Gone" reveal a haunting emotional depth, while "Shakin' It" bursts forward with swagger and arena-ready hooks. "Never Be The Same" and "Heaven On Earth" showcase the band's gift for memorable melodies without sacrificing intensity. Then there's "Seven" - a thunderous, dramatic closer that reconnects the band to the heavier spirit of their earlier classics and remains one of the standout tracks in the Bloodgood catalog. This album also marks the final Bloodgood release featuring legendary guitarist David Zaffiro, whose fiery playing and unmistakable style helped define the band's classic era. His work throughout Rock In A Hard Place is both tasteful and explosive, proving why he remains one of the most respected guitarists in Christian hard rock and metal. For this definitive Retroactive Records vinyl edition (only 200 copies, Red Vinyl), Rob Colwell delivers a powerful new remaster that finally gives the album the warmth, punch, and low-end presence it always deserved. Combined with Scott Waters' stunning artwork restoration and layout work, this release breathes new life into a criminally underrated melodic hard rock masterpiece. Whether you discovered this album back in the late 80s or are hearing it for the first time, Rock In A Hard Place stands today as a bold and unforgettable chapter in the legacy of Bloodgood - melodic, passionate, honest, and timeless. For fans of Idle Cure, Stryper, and Kiss!

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
