MATRIX 1983-1984

Matrix was formed in 1983 and came to its end in 1985 when Tory and Dale were signed to their first record deal. The name Matrix was changed to Bride during the signing of the contract. Thus, was the end to the Matrix sound and the beginning of the Bride sound. Steve Childers, the original drummer was replaced after two recording projects by Joey Johson who lasted one project. Stephan Rolland replaced Joey Johnson and became the first Bride drummer. Matrix played many live shows trying to get recognition. From churches and coffee houses to night clubs, Matrix played anywhere the doors were open. Painted in makeup, wearing spandex, teased hair, jumping off amplifiers, and setting of explosions on stage, they were in many ways ahead of the Christian market. Their big break came in 1985 in Pottstown, PA when they opened a show for the Daniel Band. Refuge Music Group, a Christian record company, saw their performance and signed them.
The songs that appear on this CD are from the recordings of PG-13, Monkey See Monkey Do. The song I Can Fly Now, was cut from the first Bride Record, called Show No Mercy.

BRIDE - TSAR BOMBA

Dale and Troy Thompson formed Bride in 1986. As brothers, they had played music together for many years prior to that using several different band names. At the time, it was impossible to see that his creation would last throughout three decades. During all of the travel, performances and recordings, Bride has stayed true to the message of salvation through Jesus Christ. Dale and Troy would like to thank their fans personally for the support they have given to create Tsar Bomba as well as for their support throughout the years.

Because the digipak mistakenly omits the additional musicians, Troy Thompson sent out a digital file with the correct artwork to those who purchased the album through Bride's website. While it was said that subsequent printings would have these additional musicians, I don't think this has happened.

BRIDE - LIVE VOL. II ACOUSTIC

THE REST OF THE STORY
Hey, this is Doug Lucas and I would like to share some things about my good friends Dale & Troy Thompson. After being a Bride fan for several years, my personal relationship started with them on July-02-1997. I had worked with several other Christian bands over the years, and decided to call Dale up one day, and offer to take their merchandise to Cornerstone '97, where they were to perform that year on the HM stage for Doug Van Pelt.
From there, I started traveling on the road, helping drive and doing their merchandise. Then in January of '98, Troy asked me if I wanted to start booking some show? I agreed to do so and achieved great success, booking 25+ concerts for that year. This was the most dates booked for Bride in quite some time. People would ask my key to success, as to how I was able to book the band so fast with no previous experience! I simply replied... "Because I belive in the Ministry and music of Bride".
After a few months, I was recruited to the "Road Manager", as well. No one ever officially asked me to fulfill this position, it just kind of came with the territory. Eventually, I started designing T-shirts and making custom jewelry for them out of broken guitar strings. I ended up doing about everything but getting on the stage and performing. My son Douglas and myself got to be in the studio while oddities was recorded, and were able to take part in the video shoot for "Under The Blood", Dale often referred to me as "the fifth member of Bride". In the credits for "Oddities", Bride thanks me with: booking agent/driver/salesman/repairman/designer/and friend. This is quite an honor, as it all started out with me just wanting to give them a helping hand (Matthew 25:23).
I must say that traveling with Bride and being a small part of what God has done through them, was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I can recall so many times, where the Lord moved in a mighty way at concerts and such. While spending most of my time at the merchandise table, I heard comments and saw a part of the fans that the band never did. Fans would often say, "I love rock music. But when I got saved, I was convicted of the garbage I had and broke/burned all of my CD collection. I just accepted the fact, that I could never enjoy music again. Then one day, one glorious day... my friend turned me on to Bride. I actually benefit from music now, in a way I never knew existed". Fans have come to me, in tears, absolutely Praising God for the ministry and music of Bride. I also have had the opportunity to pray with many and make lots of friends over the years. Bride is a part of me that will never die!
It's almost unbelievable to see the Spiritual condition of some that came to our concerts. Being invited by friends, family, or maybe just coming to see a Rock Show? Whatever their original intention, hundreds have left, a changed person for life (both here and for eternity). Anyone that's ever been to a Bride show can testify about the anointing and presence of the Holy Spirit! Dale was called at and early age to preach the Gospel message to the world, and Troy joined him in that vision, as together they have pursued the call of God for over 15 years now.
Bride has ministered all across America and in several other countries as well. Playing to crowds well over 250,000 a night in Sao Paulo, Brazil, it's safe to say they have played some of the largest Christian concerts in the world. I think one of the most remembered things I witnessed while in Brazil, was hearing the fans sing most every word to the songs, while not being able to speak a word of English!
On a comical note, we had a lot of fun as well. Probably the funniest thing I can recall was one of my first trips going out with theband. We were coming back from a Festival in Georgia, it was pouring down rain and we were super low on gas. At the top of Mont Eagle, TN we pulled into a gas station to fill up. I won't mention any names in order to protect the guilty, but the person that gassed the car accidentally got diesel fuel. It was becoming a flood outside, and our gasoline van was now full of diesel. We ended up going to a nearby truck stop, getting a piece of rubber hose and siphoning the fuel tank bone dry. We bought gas cans to catch the unwanted fuel and that's where the real fun began. Everyone went to Hardees to eat afterwards except for the person that pumped the diesel. He was going to discard the cans and then come join the rest of us. So, we're standing in line to order our food, and I look out the window down over a big hill and see our other vehicle pull up, stop, and the electric trunk release open the trunk. The driver gets out, looks all around, then goes and sets all these gas cans out. He looks around again, closes the trunk and drives off. We all started laughing so hard; eventually the whole restaurant was looking out the window. We told him if he ever decides to do something crazy, he might as well figure on getting caught. We laughed for many months to come after that incident.
I truly thank God for allowing me the blessing and opportunity of working with such a band as Bride, making friends with them, as well as many others (maybe even you?). What you will find on this fine CD is something that Bride fans have long awaited... an "Acoustic Album". I trust you will enjoy and experience somewhat of a Bride concert. Please keep in mind; all the tracks are recorded live at different times and show to help ensure that feeling. Tell all your friends about Bride Live II and M8 Distribution. Thanks to Brad and everyone involved for this Great Album!
In Christ Jesus, Doug Lucas, Sr.

BRIDE - SNAKES ALIVE: LIVE AT CORNERSTONE '92

Bride was at the very height of their career. They were touring the U.S. and were establishing themselves as a international group by touring Europe, Scandinavia and Brazil. The more shows Bride played the stronger they became. These were the days of frenzied crowds, aggressive stage performances and knock out concerts. The band was experiencing great acceptance from media and radio and the fans voiced their support by filling concert halls wherever the band was performing. Bride live out what some would call a dream for the next many years - Dale Thompson, July 2004

The songs on this CD were recorded in four different sessions. The members of each session are listed with the groups of songs. Also, songs that were recorded live, straight to a Digital Audio Tape (DAT), are indicated with an asterisk (*).

BRIDE - SHOW NO MERCY (THE ORIGINALS: DISC ONE)

Show No Mercy was out debut album. It was recorded in Louisville, TY on a shoestring budget. We had been performing and recording for several years when Pure Metal records approached us with a multi-album recording contract. Being young and ignorant to the music industry, we jumped at the opportunity and signed our contract after only barely reading throught it. We had a record deal and we thought we had made it.
Pure Metal had signed several bands and were waiting to see which one would emerge as the front runner after the dust settled. The label had no interest in investing any money into the marketing or mastering of the records. They just wanted a product to put out there for the blooming market of young Christian Metal fans who were thirsty for new music.
We tried playing shows and touring a bit, but there were hardly any venues for us to play in the mid-80s. We were helping to develop the market and were taking a lot of criticism, but Dale and I had a vision and we believed in Bride. We felt good about standing up for the message and music we believed in.
Show No Mercy had been more successful than Pure Metal had anticipated. It managed to make them some money and they were eager to get us in the studio again to capitalize on the success.

BRIDE - LIVE TO DIE (THE ORIGINALS: DISC TWO)

Live To Die was recorded with Armand John Petri at Grand Slam in West Orange, New Jersey. After the success of Show No Mercy, Pure Metal was willing to invest a little more in us. This time around they put us in a real studio with a real producer.
The bigger budget for the studio and producer didn't include hotel rooms for us. Our accommodations were floor space and couches. We couldn't have cared less. We were young and hungry and happy to be there.
We had designed one of our songs to have an intro played on a cello. Imagine our surprise when we learned that this big-time studio didn't have one! They did have a violin bow, though, so we made to with playing our intro on a bass guitar. I used that violin bow across the bass strings and got pretty close to the sound we were going for.
Dale and I really believed in the songs that we were recording and, after hearing the finished mixes, we felt strongly that this album would help establish Bride in the industry. We were proved right as Live To Die ended up being many times more successful than its predecessor. A lot of people saw Live To Die as us moving toward a heavier sound, but to me the only difference between our first two records is maturity. Since we had a bigger budget, we had more time for writing and recording. We also had a professional who was working to bring out the best in us. It wouldn't be the last time he would do so.

BRIDE - SILENCE IS MADNESS (THE ORIGINALS: DISC THREE)

Silence Is Madness was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee with Armand John Petri. We liked working with John on our previous album, Live To Die, and wanted to utilize that relationship again. For this album, we weren't as sure as we had been in the past about the direction we wanted to take our music. The world was changing around us and, frankly, so were we.
Our contract with Pure Metal Records was coming to and end, but we weren't overly worried about it. Our albums had been selling well and we'd played a lot of show, including several high-profile appearances at major music festivals. We figured we'd become successful enough to garner serious interest from larger and more substantial labels. This was very much on our minds as we were writing and recording Silence Is Madness. We wanted to showcase our various songwriting styles, but still desired to deliver a cohesive product. Once again, our producer was instrumental in helping us to achieve our goal.
I brought videotaping equipment to the studio so I could document the recording process. I was the merciless videographer, sparing no small detail. We ended up using the best of the footage I shot for our first home video release, The Making Of Silence Is Madness. Fool Me Once, Under The Influence and All Hallow's Eve were my favorites from the album, each usually making our live setlist.
Silence Is Madness served a very important purpose in our recorded discography. It was a bridge connecting our heavy metal roots to the more well-rounded heavy blues sound we were gravitating toward. It also proved that we were more than just a one trick pony. And that's something we've enjoyed proving time and time again throughout our career.

BRIDE - SHOTGUN WEDDING ... 11 #1 HITS & MRS.

With 11 #1 singles and Dove Awards for both Metal Recorded Song of the Year and Metal Album of the Year, Bride is without a doubt the top hard Rock band in Christian music.

Compiled from the projects END OF THE AGE, KINETIC FAITH, SNAKES IN THE PLAYGROUND and SCARECROW MESSIAH, SHOTGUN WEDDING is a new collection containing these 11 #1 songs, including three monster industrial remixes from the hands of David Huff (member of recording artist Giant).

BRIDE - THE MATRIX YEARS & THE LOST REELS I 2CD

Matrix: something within which something else originates or develops. It would appear from the definition of Matrix, found in Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, that the author had some foreknowledge of the Thompson brothers, and the band Matrix/Bride... several years before they were born.
Matrix was: Dale Thompson - vocals & bass, Troy Thompson - guitars & bass, Steve Childers - Drums. The songs that appear on this CD are from the entire recordings of PG-13 and Monkey See Monkey Do.
Matrix was formed in 1983 and came to its end in 1985 when Dale and Troy Thompson were signed to their first record deal. The name Matrix was changed to Bride during the signing of the contract. Thus, was the end to the Matrix sound and the beginning of the new Bride sound. Joey Johnson, who lasted one project, replaced Steve Childers, the original drummer, after two recording projects. Stephan Rolland replaced Joey Johnson and becamse the first Bride drummer. Matrix played many live shows trying to get recognition. From churches and coffee houses to night clubs... Matrix played anywhere the doors were open. Painted in makeup, wearing spandex, teased hair, jumping off amplifiers, and setting off explosions on stage... they were in many ways, ahead of their time and the Christian market. Their big break came in 1985 in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, when they opened a show for the Daniel Band. Refuge Music Group, a Christian record company, saw their performance and signed them.
This was only the beginning, as to what the Lord would have in store for Bride. Since that time, they have traveled literally all around the world (many times), performing to thousands upon thousands of people... sharing their faith in Jesus Christ. They have been blessed with five albums on Pure Metal Records, three on Star Song Records, one on Rugged Records, three on Organic Records, three Lost Reels albums, four solo projects by Dale Thompson, several other various compilations, samplers, etc., and finally, this great album, being their third project on Millenium Eight Records (with more to follow soon). Please feel free to visit the fine people at Millenium Eight/M8 Distribution, which made this album possible, by going to their website at http://www.m8.com.
Bride is still going strong today. They are currently wrapping up their newest release (to come) Fist Full Of Bees, which will be available on Absolute Records in the spring of 2001. Also, Dale just finished producing the new All Access album, released on Ionic Records, titled 15 Charismatic Wonders. So needless to say... God is still in the business of reaching this world with the Gospel message, and is in great need of bands that will continue to carry the torch, hear His voice, and follow His call... one band, one album, one song at a time! - Be His, Doug Lucas, Sr.

This was re-issued with bonus material in [1996]. That release mentions that the collage includes photos from the 1986-1990 period, so the original VHS must have been from 1990.

LIVE IN BRAZIL / UNDER THE GUN VHS

Given the fact that there is a "Bride Returns To Brazil 1994" and a "Live In Brazil III" I think it's safe to assume that there was a Live In Brazil I. Since the Under The Gun DVDs feature Bride performances in Brazil from before Live In Brazil II/III, I assume that the original Live In Brazil VHS might have been titled Under The Gun.

BRIDE RETURNS TO BRAZIL 1994 VHS

Bride "Returns To Brazil" is a video that shows Bride at their best - In Concert. On September 17, 1994 Bride performed for 80,000 in a soccer stadium in Sao Paulo, Brazil. September 18, 1994, the audience grew to an unbelievable 130,000. On September 19, 1994, Bride played an indoor show for a packed house of 6,000. The last performance is featured first in its entirety while the first two performances are highlighted. (Including Dale's leap into the crowd) If you have never experienced a Bride performance, this is as close as it gets. Shot with 10 cameras, this video is professional quality. This video is not available for sale in stores.

BRIDE - LIVE IN BRAZIL III VHS

For the past three years, Bride has travelled to Brazil to perform for the people of Sao Paulo. This is an incredible time of ministry for the band because of the number of people that attend. Due to the show being scheduled in December, 1995, Brazil's Summer, the crowd was smaller than in previous years. But small was still over 60,000 strong. Every time Bride goes to Brazil, they find that the people have a hunger for God like nowhere else in the world.
