Cliffy, lead guitarist of Main Line Riders had the following to say about Robert Sweet’s (Stryper) performance:
“If you ever thought drums don't make a difference then I invite you to check this out and prove to yourself how wrong you were. Robert makes such a difference on this album that you'll swear you've never heard it before.”

ABOUT THE ALBUM
Beyond Hell’s Gate specializes in profound hooks, speedy riffing, shredding guitars and a full on heavy metal assault. This heavy metal classic was originally recorded in 1989 but never released until 2005 (limited to just 1000 copies!). It was then reissued as a 2010 Collector's Edition on Retroactive Records and featured new artwork, while the music was remixed and partially re-recorded. Retroactive Records and fans of the band are eternally grateful to the amazing Robert Sweet (Stryper) for providing real drums on this 2010/2023 version (the original features only a drum machine). We asked him to - really let lose - and to - "drum like you always wanted to" - with no restrictions - and that's exactly what he did! The result is a world-class heavy metal release with drums by a bonafide superstar! In addition, there are three tracks included on the Collectors Edition that did not appear on the 2005 release – an Intro track, an Outro track (both instrumental) but the real gem is the ROBERT SWEET Drum Solo entitled Area 51! This is the very first Robert Sweet drum solo (studio recorded) released since the legendary ROXX REGIME demo! Remastered in 2023 by Rob Colwell (Bombworks Sound and featuring three instrumental bonus tracks, this is the definitive release of this revered classic. Packaged in an 8-page booklet inside of a collector's jewel case, fans are also treated to an historic write up about the band and album by White Throne's Keven Crothers! Don’t expect candy-coated glam metal here. Final Axe specializes in big, neck bulging, fist extending, righteous riffs. Limited to just 300 CDs. For fans of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Armored Saint, and early Bloodgood! Enjoy!

A solid metal album….its got depth

This is a great metal album with solid riffs
Amazing drumming
Tremendous lyrics
This band really lays down a hard heavy anchor that brings the music to a very interesting completeness
The word is depth
It’s a deep album of hard rock

As METAL as one can get!

I recently received this CD in the mail from Girder Music, I had honestly never ever heard of this band FINAL AXE before, but man oh man, what a gem this album is! Robert Sweet's drumming is beyond phenomenal! I've always said to myself that Robert Sweet is one of the best drummers there is, not only in the Christian Metal realm, but in Metal in general, the guy is an icon drummer. This album is borderline Thrash Metal, there is nothing glam about these guys ha ha, this is Straight Up Pure Metal! If you're a fan of Saint "Times End" or of Armageddon's "Money Mask", or even of Deliverance's first album, then you'll definitely enjoy this one! I LOVE the entire album, but my favorite track has to be "Soldier of Compromise", what a Metal gem, I don't regret one bit purchasing this album, THANKS Girder Music, you guy's Rock!!!!!!! I'm not one to leave comments often, but for this band I had to, what a phenomenal album. That green monster hand on the cover art is so awesome as well!
