The Petra Zone

Hi Everyone My brother and I have been petheads for many years. We have just started our own podcast reviewing each and every Petra album released. We would love for you all to join us on the journey. It’s called “On Rock: A Petraspective”, and can be found on Spotify and most other podcast platfor...

First, let me just say...that I stumbled across their website and my ears have been blessed to hear these amazing tunes by the Rock band Project Damage Control! I found out that it featured John and Louie Weaver on the album, so I had to listen! John's voice is truly mindblowing on this album! Over...

I agree with what was said earlier, that a big comeback reunion and tour is unlikely. Still, I'd love a new album even if they didn't do a single show. Getting a new album to market is cheaper than ever these days, so it's possible, and they might even make a little profit. Whatever they do, I thin...

I am looking for a performance track of the song NOT OF THIS WORLD by Petra. There are 5 of us who will sing to it. Thank you.-Janet

I don't know if any exist. Maybe someone else knows though

That's interesting. I've never tried to make a list like that!

John Elefante doesn't count, since he's never been a member of Petra.

Yes I suppose, but he did produce a number of their albums and greatly influenced their sound, as well as write several songs and sing backing vocals

John Lawry is on keys with the Jay Sekulow band.

Yeah I thought I remembered something about that. I know John Schlitt was.

The Jay Sekulow band released a number of singles which featured John Schlitt and John Elefante.

Also John Lawry plays keyboards on at least some of John Schlitt's latest album "Go", specifically on the track "Fake News"

I believe he has some of those songs on Spotify

Just finished watching, after having bookmarked it some time ago. Nice to see the guys together again. On Fire, Beyond Belief, and Unseen Power. That's my Petra.

Welcome to the zone! On fire is an underrated album imo

Thanks guys! @George Harrison yep definitely dig the heavier vibe of JAH, it's on the list for a closer listen. It's been interesting getting up to speed on everything I've missed, which was basically Wake Up Call onward. Digging God Fixation much more than expected, as I mentioned earlier. It's he...

That’s been happening recently, which has of course triggered one of my every-few-years Petra kicks, and my discovery of the Zone only 100 years late. I lost touch with the band after Unseen Power, and it’s been fascinating to lurk here for the last few weeks and fill in the gaps. Welcome! I too jo...

I'm not really so sick of people as I am of the lockdown. Can't play soccer, can't go to church, can't do anything, it's very boring. Where I live it just got extended another month, seems like it never ends

Amazing cover! John still sounds great. Never even knew it existed. Thanks for posting!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! I was wondering why I couldn't use it, but it seems like diehard was somehow able to
