At just over 28 minutes in length, Once Upon the Cross was on a mission to hit you hard and get the hell out while leaving you grinning from ear to ear. The album-opening title track begins with a line from The Last Temptation of Christ, then kicks you in the teeth with the Hoffman brothers’ dual guitar attack, as well as the chant of “fear him” that sounds like it came from old Beelzebub himself. Within the opening minute you realize you’re in for a treat. It’s plain to see early on that Glen Benton had refined his already-evil-sounding vocal delivery to the ultimate death growl; there’s no doubt he was good on Legion, but here he’s in truly fine form.
