Jekyll & Hyde is the twenty-second studio album released by Christian rock band Petra. It was released in 2003 by Inpop Records. It is the last studio album released by Petra (excluding the Spanish version, released the following year). The music features a progressive metal sound that has drawn a comparison to Poison, Dio, and Queensrÿche.[1]
The album features producer and musician Peter Furler on drums replacing long-time member Louie Weaver for the recording. However, temporary drummer Justin Johnson is partially featured on the album booklet. He would tour with the band until permanent drummer Paul Simmons was hired.[2]
It is also the first album to feature bassist Greg Bailey. However, even though he was already a member of the band at the time of the recording, it was producer Peter Furler's call to use Wade Jaynes and Phil Joel to record the bass lines of the album. Bailey is featured as a backing vocalist, and as a co-writer of the song "Would'a, Should'a, Could'a".[2][3]
The title of the album is based on the Robert Louis Stevenson novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde due to the similar issues of sin and temptation it deals with. Read more on Last.fm.
