Wrong place to start this thread, but this can be solved easily later. 

Can you present the band a bit, give us another listening link for those who do not use spotify.

I'll ask an admin to move the thread to either prog related lounge or general music. 

Is it this band?

It's the same band. Another loose prog-related connection is Doug Pinnick and Jerry Gaskill of King's X met when they were briefly in a reformed version of Petra that lasted like a month.

Listening to their 1982 album now. Good melodic hard rock. Tongue

^ The Coloring Song is a HORRIBLE example of their music

I'm a prog fan, and also Petra fan.

Probably the most likely to look at are albums: Not of This World, and Beat the System.

Perfect line-up of lead singer, guitar, bass, keyboards, drums. Strong vocals by Greg X Volz. Later vocals are by John Schlitt (formerly of classic rock band Head East).

"Judas Kiss" is also one to give a listen.

I will admit to playing their "Petraphonics" album a lot back in the day, and I saw them live.

Hey I love the coloring song but its not the best example of Petra if you have spotify check out 40th Anniversary (Deuxe Edition) Disc 1 & 40th Anniversary (Deuxe Edition) Disc 2 it gives a more 'balanced' idea of what Petra is about BTW God bless you all and TY for responding to this thread.

I'm listening to the Never Say Die album (1981) and the Coloring Song is the opening song, not a good idea for an opener IMO, the album opener is supposed to draw the listener in, just saying.

I mean, John Elefante produced and co-wrote a string of their albums...but I've never heard anything I'd consider prog in any music of theirs that I've heard.
