Formed in the early 1980s by brothers Dale and Troy Thompson, Bride is a Christian metal band that has successfully carved out a distinctive niche within the genre. Emerging from Louisville, Kentucky, Bride initially gained traction with their 1986 debut album "Show No Mercy," which heralded their prowess in combining hard-hitting metal riffs with faith-inspired lyrics. Over the years, Bride evolved musically, moving from their roots in heavy metal and dabbling in various subgenres including glam and hard rock.

The band is particularly noted for their impressive longevity and consistent output, with an extensive discography that has embraced both the boldness of metal and the sincerity of Christian messages. As reflected in their recent releases like "Here Is Your God" and the "The Lost Reels" retrospective series, Bride shows a commitment to revisiting and revitalizing their past work for dedicated fans. Although their line-up has changed over the years, the Thompson brothers' vision has remained steadfast, ensuring that Bride's music continues to resonate with both new and long-term listeners who appreciate the powerful combination of rock and spirituality.
