The band's second album, “A Recipe for Power”, was released in 1994. Although a period of time had passed between the first and second albums, the fans loved the new album for its blend of 80's progressive power metal, with a 90's edge, demonstrating their longevity as a band as the demand for music changed. Exxplorer continued on with their success and in 1997 was noticed by Atlantic Records producer Bruce Buchanan, who decided to work with the band on their 3rd album, “Cold Black Ugly”.
Exxplorer recently reunited and in April 2009, they were invited to perform at the Keep it True Metal Festival in Germany. What happened next was beyond belief; a massive gathering of fans that have waited for years came out to show their loyalty and see this band live once again. This show of support gave Exxplorer an immediate invitation back to Germany to perform at the Headbangers Open Air Fest in July 2009 and again went over amazingly. Exxplorer were then invited back a 3rd time, to perform as co-headliner at the 10th anniversary Swordbrothers Festival in Andernach Germany on Sept 10th 2011. This show also doubled as the European release party for their new album "Vengeance Rides An Angry Horse"
The overwhelming response has created huge demand for this new Exxplorer release and subsequent return dates to Europe are now in the works. The new Exxplorer album is NOW AVAILABLE worldwide, and for download on Itunes & CD Baby.
A tour is being planned in support of this release .

Exxplorer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you hear me sing it
One more time
In a place long ago
On a land where we fight to be free
The voices of music was scarce to the minds
Something new, it was yet to be heard
Brought the gift from far away lands
To soothe their minds, to soothe their souls
The people danced and danced
Can you hear me sing
Rock the nation
Can you hear me saying
One more time
Can you hear me say it
Can you hear me say it
One more time tonight
Time prospered and people grew
Compositions multiplied
The sound waves across the land
From city to city to the mountainside
All the visions of the masters
Sent the sound through the air
And through it all rock emerged
And now rock lives everywhere
Can you hear me sing
Rock the nation
Can you hear me saying
One more time
Can you hear me say it
Can you hear me say it
One more time tonight
All the people of the nation
Gather round and hear the song
Hear the sound, the pulse is racing
There's something for everyone
All around the people we know
We can do what we want to do
Anyplace you want to go
We know we have the right to be free
Can you hear me sing
Rock the nation
Can you hear me saying
One more time
Can you hear me say it
Can you hear me say it
One more time tonight
"Rock the Nation" is a song by the American heavy metal band Exxplorer. It carries a significant message of the power of music, the universality of rock, and the spirit of freedom. The song opens with a nostalgic undertone as it describes a land where music was scarce, and people fought to be free. Distinct voices and music across waters brought them the gift, and they danced to soothe their minds and souls.
The second verse indicates that people prospered, and compositions multiplied, as the sound waves spread across the land. The masters sent their vision to the airwaves, and through it all, rock music emerged and now lives everywhere. The third verse carries a message of hope, uniting all people of the nation together under the banner of rock music that demonstrates the diversity of sounds, styles, and personalities.
The song's core message is that rock music has the power to unite people, to break down boundaries, and to give hope and freedom to everyone. It is an invitation to all people to join hands and sing the song of freedom, regardless of race, religion, or social status.
