King's X third release Faith, Hope, Love increased the popularity of the band that gained popularity previously with the song "Over My Head" from Gretchen Goes to Nebraska. It picks up where Gretchen left off and just is pure classic 80's/early 90's hard rock. I love there complex sound and the unique twist of soul influence with hard rock. They're one of the best three piece bands that I could come up with along with obviously Rush. The album features one of my favorite songs of all time being there major single "It's Love". I remember seeing the music video and instantly liking it because it's very beautiful and heavy musically. After the success of this song they would get signed on the major label Atlantic for there fourth release the self entitled King's X album. It's also cool when they promote something else thats a lot of metal bands aren't willing to do while the trend forever is seems has been incorporated in satanism. Pretty much everyone knows King's X promotes Christianity but, they weren't doing it forcefully so maybe not everyone picked that up because that'd possibly offend other religions. King's X were hard enough for headbangers and were spiritual enough to have a Christian fan base as this was one of the albums featured in the 100 Greatest Christian albums of all time.
