Oklahoma’s Gears of Redemption is Nu-metal at its finest imho. RIYL: Korn, These 5 Down, etc… Complete with a thumping bass guitar, driving drums & angst ridden vocals, this 4 piece band brings the controlled chaos. 2000’s The War of Blood & Rust (released by Godfather records) was the only album to emerge before the band disbanded. The rockier indie Christian shows showcased This Is Me, Shedding Skin & My Life in their playlists. Their song No Time found its way on Cross Rhythms Extreme Music Sampler Vol 4.

Thank you for the Sketches files Jeff! Miss the good old days! This article is great!
Wow. Just Wow. I don’t know if you will see this message. but back in the early 2000s, i had a sound system in the OKC area, and did several shows around Oklahoma with you guys at various church’s. I wasn’t even old enough to drive yet when we all first met. I think about those times often, sure do miss you guys. – Bob English
