Whitecross is the eponymous debut album from the Christian metal band Whitecross, released on September 5, 1987. It reached #17 on Billboard's Top Contemporary Christian Albums chart.[1] In 2010, HM Magazine listed Whitecross #29 on its Top 100 Christian Rock Albums of All Time list stating that "listen to this album. It’ll blow your mind. It’s simplistic ‘80s metal to a fault (think Ratt with Jesus-first lyrics), but the shredding lead guitar by Rex Carroll in every fill, nook and cranny is primo."[2] Heaven's Metal fanzine ranked it #4 on its Top 100 Christian metal albums of all time list.[3]
