The Petra Zone

Greg's back at it again with new solo material. "Something's Goin' On" sounds like a leftover from his 1991 album, The Exodus . Lyrically, there's not much there, and based on the video promo below, I don't think anyone's more excited about this new song than GXV. What are your thoughts? https://www...

Petra's had quite a few logos over the years; however, of the last 3, which is your personal favorite?

Very cool! I wish there were more Petra cover bands out there. If I lived in Knoxville, I'd be there. Good luck to y'all, and may God bless your show.

Did we ever get an update on this topic, or is their Fifty anniversary album the "new material?"

I attended the Henderson concert just outside of Jackson, TN this past weekend, and the venue was packed! The setlist was mostly comprised of songs from their Farewell album albeit with a few surprises thrown in. John & the band sounded great and put on an impressive show for a band who's been offic...

Very cool! During their time together in Classic Petra, I had hoped to hear Mark Kelly & Greg X Volz perform a modern version of "Disciple." Although they typically stuck to the Back to the Rock set list, I always wondered why this song was never covered during their years of touring.

Interesting cover. It sounds like they were covering the original and not the newer CPR version. And thank goodness it wasn't the Double Take version.

Meh...I don't know why Greg holds back. It could have been bolder. He's still got such a great voice!

Greg is not part of Petra. He has his version CPR (which has changed names a couple of times).

Yes, the name of Greg's band, CPR, apparently now stands for "Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation."

The real question remains will Bob & John continue where they left of with a heavier Jekyll & Hyde sound, or will it be another praise album similar to Vertical Expressions from II Guys from Petra? Alternatively, will they seek a more adult contemporary, radio friendly format akin to God Fixation ? ...

Hey guys!! Excelent job! But, what about II guys from Petra album and Classic Petra Back to the Rock???!!! Waiting for those episodes!! God bless You!!

Might as well add CPR to the list as well.

After all these years in retirement, they should call the new album "Classic Petra Resurrection"...oops...that name is already taken! Seriously, I wonder why John & Bob are doing this. Haven't they previously said that each Petra album sold fewer & fewer copies with each new release? Besides the doz...

Earlier today, as I was putting together my Christmas music playlist, I was reminded that The Union of Sinners & Saints had released "The Birthday of a King" in 2021. When I went to YouTube to search for the song, I was surprised to hear another rendition (as I had incorrectly assumed that Billy Smi...

I hope it is an original album or a song

My guess is that it'll only be one song on another "greatest hits" album similar to "Holy Is Your Name" from their 40th Anniversary album.

Bob must be bored.
