Heavy Metal Sunday is sad these guys broke up.

[gridlore]

Galactic Cowboys was a Heavy Metal band based in Houston, Texas, from 1989 through their break-up in 2000. They combined progressive metal with a style of vocals influenced by The Beatles and the heavy playing style of thrash bands such as Anthrax. They have been described as "possibly the most melodic metal band ever to exist in Christian or general markets." Although the band members are Christians, they did not consider the Galactic Cowboys to be a Christian band. The band has toured with prominent hard rock and metal acts such as Anthrax, Dream Theater, King's X and Overkill.

Oddly, for a band that's been officially dissolved for ten years, they maintain a pretty strong web presence with an official page and a Facebook page. Evidently there was a short reunion tour in 2009, but nothing beyond that. The offical page has nothing beyond links to the band members' personal sites and the Facebook is Wall is overrun with spammers. Sad, really.

But while they were active, they were pretty damn good. This morning enjoy If I Were A Killer off 1993's Space In Your Face
