 Whitecross circa 1988. Left-to-right are Jon Sproule, Rex Carroll, Scott Wenzel and Mark Hedl. Whitecross is a Christian metal band which formed in 1986 in Chicago, releasing their first recording the following year. Their early albums, which often invite comparisons to Ratt, are laced with fast, technical guitar work. With the departure of guitarist Rex Carroll in 1992, the band's sound underwent a drastic change; so much so that many Whitecross fans show a strong preference for either the earlier or later work exclusively.
