Joshua (band)
Joshua is a Christian metal band that formed in 1980. The band re-formed many times under differing names, but has remained centered on guitarist Joshua Perahia. Despite being based in Los Angeles, California, they are best known internationally - in Europe, Japan, and South America.
==History==
The band's first release was entitled ''The Hand Is Quicker Than The Eye'', which referred to Perahia's well known guitar skills. Released by Enigma Records in 1983, the single "November Is Going Away" was the band's biggest hit, achieving No. 1 status in Japan.〔 Front man Perahia had a religious experience at a Hal Lindsey-lead bible study in 1983, and converted to Protestant Christianity from his Greek Orthodox upbringing.〔
Perahia put together a new band for ''Surrender'' which involved Jeff Fenholt.〔 ''Surrender'' was released on RCA Records in 1985. Lyrically, the album marked a change in the band's style to lyrics which were evangelical and confrontational in nature.〔 Rob Rock was involved with their third album as Joshua, ''Intense Defense''. ''Intense Defense'', which was produced by Dieter Dierks, was characterized by the editor of ''HM Magazine'' as being "probably the best melodic metal album in the universe."〔 It sold well worldwide, but not in the United States.〔 Following ''Intense'', Perahia reformed the band as Jaguar. Jaguar included Robert Basauri on vocals〔 Joe Tafoya on drums and Bryan Fleming on Bass. The band changed members while entertaining record deals and never released material under this name.〔
In 1995, the group re-formed as M Pire. They released one album under this name, ''Chapter One'', though it was never released in the US. The band then changed names again, to Joshua Perahia. Perahia states "We went back (from MPire to Joshua) to re-fire.... re-ignite what we had before." The band found themselves without a permanent vocalist, and hired Alex Ligertwood of Santana to fill the spot on ''Something to Say''. However, while in production the band recruited Jerry Gabriel and re-recorded the vocals. As a result, the album (except one track) contains the Gabriel lead vocals, and the Ligertwood vocals are available in the DVD release.〔 One song, "The First and the Last" appeared on the Larry Buchanan directed movie ''The Copper Scroll of Mary Magdalene'' in 2004.〔
