Sola Melodica exists to uncover a glimmer of God in the art form of music. We focus primarily on hard rock, metal, punk, alternative, and occasionally outlaw country.
Good News and Bad News
Typically people want the bad news first.
The bad news is that we are all sinners. You are a sinner and I am a sinner.
God’s creation was perfect. Our original ancestors, Adam & Eve, had direct access to God. He visited them and they would hang out together.
God is perfect and He created a perfect people.
Sadly, sin entered this perfect creation through an act of rebellion. That one act of rebellion threw everything into chaos.
Immediately, they were cognizant of their sin. They worked to cover their nakedness and began to pass blame.
A curse entered the earth and now every person born would be born under that sinful curse.
Many people will argue that at least they are not Hitler or Stalin. Most of us are not serial killers! We’re in relatively decent shape, or so we think.
It’s not that simple, though.
As Steve Taylor wrote in his song Jesus Is For Losers, “They don’t grade here on a curve, we both know what we deserve.”
I am guilty of sin and you are guilty of sin. “What sin?” you ask. Lying, stealing, envy, lust, the list goes on and on. Each of which knocks us off of our “pedestal” of perfection.
If we boil this down to a court session we would be proven guilty. The prosecutor would present indisputable evidence of our misdeeds and transgressions.
Our good works don’t offset our sin.
Plus, there is no statute of limitations on our sin.
Justice demands recompense.
The verdict would be swift and the judgment severe.
The Good News
God had a plan all along. True justice could not ignore our iniquities and transgression. The penalty had to sufficiently cover every sin that was committed in the past and any sin that would be committed in the future.
Yes, all of them.
As soon as the original sin (thanks Adam & Eve) was committed God put His plan into motion. Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, came to earth sinless and perfect. He lived His life free of sin and transgression. He healed the sick, raised the dead, fed the hungry, and loved fearlessly.
He was the perfect sacrifice for our sin. A lamb without spot or blemish was sentenced to die a brutal death on our behalf.
Jesus was tortured without mercy. He was mocked, spat upon, cursed, and deserted by His friends.
The beating, according to Isaiah, was so ghastly that He could not be recognized as a human (Isaiah 52:14). He died a horrific death, gasping for air, nailed to a cross.
His death was only one part of the redemption story. The best part was death could not keep Him. He defeated death and conquered hell.
It’s written, “He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification” (Romans 4:25).
The resurrection did not transpire until justification (justice), in the eyes of God, was achieved.
The punches, whipping, cursing, crown of thorns, nailing, and betrayal were for you and were for me.
What Jesus endured was more violent and appalling than anything Quentin Tarantino could envision.
The price for our sins has been paid. There is no double jeopardy in the Kingdom of God. Our sin is judged in Christ.
That, my friend, is Good News!
What’s our part to play in this Gospel plan? Not much, actually.
We acknowledge that we’re sinners and in need of a savior. We recognize that we’re incapable of saving ourselves and need a rescuer. We repent of our sin and ask God for forgiveness.
Humbly, we accept the atoning sacrifice and redemption that is found only in Jesus Christ.
I recommend that you look up Psalm 51 and read it. It’s about a man who committed adultery and then had the husband murdered to cover his sin.
His heartfelt and sincere prayer just might be the inspiration you need to form your own prayer to God.
Everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved!

WASP knocks it out of the park with this song! ENJOY!
ive heard this song a 1000x and it brings me to tears everytime,,thank you jesus for paying for the sins of the world
This song, IMHO, is nearly perfect.
Blackie went through a huge transformation in his coming to God. I thank you for reviewing this..... it has me in tears since I found it...... I love how he told this story,,,,,,,, Thank you.
I grew up listening to Alice Cooper, WASP and Megadeth back in the 80s, the lead singers are now all christian. Thank God.
blackie lawless has one of the best voices in Rock. i am in the uk and they are such an underrated band i go see them everytime they come over here. 11 times now and cant wait to they come back
I agree his voice is awesome. Not sure who else does the slow songs as well as him. Cheers!
How powerful, he reminded me I had to ask for help, I needed Him in my heart and soul, I needed help..... Reminded me to remember and pray and talk, pray, ask, humble, and...... guess what..... help did come. Thank God. Praise.
Absolutely loved this video/reaction....I've been a serious W.A.S.P. fan since I was 13 in 1983....I'm almost 52 & getting sober again after a 3 yr drinking & pill taking binge....last 10 yrs....family deaths, divorce.ect. Anyhow, your video reaction to Golgotha for me was a great song reaction & a great sermon in a way & I just wanted to say thank you!! As a 10 yr...somewhat Christian who needs & ewants to come back to Jesus....I needed this tonight!! Awesome my man :-)
thank you, Daryl. Praying for you!!
This song is a masterpiece in its arrangement
I still get chills listening to it
"God have mercy upon me, a sinner"
Me too!
I read that Blackie Lawless has always been inspired by classical music. As for me, I get Queen's "The Show Must Go On" vibes from this song, and that's a compliment!
First man comforted, even in death, by the Messiah.
yes
Brilliant analysis of a brilliant song Tim. As I mentioned before, I highly recommend "Godless Run" and "Hallowed Ground" for your review. Keep it up, so glad I found your channel. Mark
Thanks, Mark. I'm compiling a list and it's getting larger all of the time!
This is a very powerful song. I’ve seen reactions by non-believers that real get the meaning of this song. Great choice!! Blackie is one of the most underrated voices and song writers in history. If you listen to the Crimson Idol album it’s a journey down a very dark road of someone that basically sold there soul for fame after a very painful childhood. It’s raw and disturbing but something that I feel everyone should hear. Especially Christians that are narrow minded. It’s not for the weak at heart but the confusion, pain and being lost are thrown right in your face.
thanks, I love Blackie's style and will listen to that entire record soon.
I let a friend listen to one song, and he got the whole album and played it constantly. He doesn't even like metal. It obviously struck a chord with him.
if Blackie Lawless can pull this kind of reaction out of you just with his words and voice? yeah, its says something about the man. He's a born again, and not a thing wrong with that. Long live Metal!!
Nothing at all. thanks!
This is a killer tune. The guitars are amazing. Blackie always sounds good.
agree. great song!
🔥💀W.A.S.P.💀🔥
ALLWAYS HAS BEEN MUCH MORE......
🕆🕇🕆
💓
Lord be praised !
To me it comes off as a prayer set to music. Absolutely beautiful.
Agree, beautiful.
Pontius Pilate wrote a letter about the crucifixion and how Jesus was an innocent man. He was haunted by the death of Jesus. Pilate killed himself on orders from the emperor Caligula
And one thing most in heart when I think, my ex and her family said from some source... "Church is not a hotel for saints, but hospital for sinners."
Imagine seeing Blackie singing golgotha live with 3 big screens with the music video behind him. It's a incredible experience 😊❤Love W.a.s.p so much ❤
EPIC!
@@SolaMelodica Yep it's 😊
For a forlorn metalhead like me, who has no other way to relate, this song helps a lost soul like me believe there is hope. The composition presented by Blackie is beyond compare.
Beautiful!!!!!
Mentioned here many times already, but yes, Blackie is a born again christian. As he said himself, he's bilingual in religion vice. In his earlier age, he ended up studying occult for years but later on he found faith. Truly amazing musician.
Yes. Amazing.
I'm catholic and I love this song too. God bless you. 🙏😌
blessings!
Blackie Lawless is now a practicing Christian and WASP's newer music often reflects that. He also no longer performs certain earlier WASP songs.
Thanks for that tidbit. Great song from a great songwriter.
This is one of the most powerful songs and Blackie Lawless has the best metal voice ever. Another good song I think you will enjoy by them is called Unholy Terror/Charisma and there is a fan made video which has the lyrics and the meaning behind the lyrics, it is all about the anti-christ and I am not sure if Blackie had come back to the faith when that was written but it is a very powerful song too. Blackie has always been a born again Christian, he became one at the age of 11 but got disillusioned by organised religion and then got into the occult for about 3 years and realised that it was just another form of organised religion and stayed away from his faith for 20 years and then came back. He is the real Prodigal Son. Thank you so much for reacting to this song.
My pleasure!
Blackie Lawless may have been born specifically to write this song.
I do believe Blackie Lawless is a born-again Christian :-)
Awesome
Certainly thankful for salvation
Stumbled across this song a while back. Did not know then that Blackie Lawless was Christian 👍🙏👏✝️
yes!
Great song. But i liked wasp from the beginning . His talent for telling a story ,has always been there. Has there been an evolution, yes . Thing is ive liked the story at every stage of his career. Salute
"saved by his grace", that's what it is about brother! Please check out "My Godless Run" by WASP. You may weep!
This song is amazing.
Definitely! So powerful.
It is finished 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️❤️
You might like the band Stryper. They were a Christian metal band from the 1980s. I would recommend the songs To Hell with the Devil or The Way.
thank you. I have that one on my list to get to eventually. Apparently, they were quite popular.
They are still around and better than ever. Check out Yahweh
i think parts of the song is to be from the thief who mocked Jesus till the crows plucked his eyes out til he died unsaved
Blackey lawless had a heart change....born again christian!!! Won't perform a lot of the old wasp songs because of this... Has a great testimonial.... And a great gift!!! Amen.
This song is EPIC!
My first concert was WASP / Slayer / Raven in Kalamazoo Michigan.
I'm an atheist. Still enjoyed your video and subscribed.
Thanks - please stick around.
WASP is the best band ever. Just getting into this album and damn...
The thief to his left was named Dismas. It's a shame i found that out by researching into a video game charcater, but hey, it's knowledge. (Dismas the Highwayman from darkest dungeon)
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Wow. Just wow. I'm a Christian, but like you, back in my younger days I was really into wasp. I hope they too have changed.
This song is an instant classic --- IMHO
I hope and believe you would appreciate Saviour Machine.
I will give 'em a listen. thanks
Wow, amazing to see that Blackie Lawless has obviously become a Christian, now. Pretty sure he won't do the song Animal anymore. God works in very mysterious and wondrous ways, Amen!✝♥
Yes, he stopped doing certain songs long ago.
So good 👍
Thanks, Crimson!
Dismas was the name of the Penitent thief. Gestas was the impenitent thief.
Thanks
Blackie grew up a preacher's kid
His parents were in a cult
@@bryanwhite5356 name it
Your god is like Marvel to me. If it's good, i'll watch the next one.
interesting?
Much appreciated... Keep the videos coming please.
And yes, I too find Passion of the Christ , difficult to watch and I'm by no means squimish.
BTW, the song Sleeping in the Fire by W.A.S.P. has to be the polar opposite of Golgotha. Awesome instrumental but the lyrics though hypnotic is very dark.
Yea, Lawless is one of the best - if not the best - at singing those ballads.
Check out the official lyric video for Painkiller by Judas Priest..it may surprise you.
I'm a huge JP fan. The lyrics did surprise me.
Try maiden number of the beast,or writing on the wall all quotes from the bible
Thanks for the recommendations.
They copped a lot of flak for that song. I love them too. Saw them in 1982. Their drummer Nicko is a born again Christian.
You will not find God in music,it is in the realm of the devils .
