FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION
From Genesis to Revelation is the first studio album by the British band Genesis. It was released in March 1969 on Decca Records in England (London Records in North America). It was produced by Jonathan King, who discovered them in 1967 while the members of Genesis were pupils at Charterhouse School, King’s alma mater. It was reissued in various regions, including the United Kingdom (home country), as In the Beginning (first in 1974) and then part of Decca’s Rock Roots repackaging series in 1976 before reverting to original title in recent reissues.

While few of these bands have anything religious on their albums, one example where that is the case is the English progressive rock band Genesis, who had considered calling themselves Gabriel’s Angels after lead singer Peter Gabriel. The other well known member of the band is Phil Collins.
The band’s debut album in 1969, From Genesis to Revelation – the beginning and ending books in the Bible – has a series of songs that are loosely based on religious themes.
There is also a thrash metal band called Exodus that formed in 1980 which I am not familiar with.
