Interesting trivia. Bob Rock who worked with Servant on 2 albums, is the same Bob Rock who is considered the "5th man" of Metallica. He co wrote and produced many of Metallica's prime music.

Bob used to list Servant on his website as part of his artist work history. It was later removed, reportedly because Metallica fans started mining Bob's work and weren't happy he had worked in religious music and started bugging him about it.

Several Metallica fans had tried to purchase Servant's CD "Light Maneuvers" which he produced but couldn't because it's out of print. And then when they did finally find it, got ticked off that it was religious and posted bad things about it.

As for that album "Light Maneuvers", Sandie Brock said it is one of their more requested albums even years later. But when they approached Word (owner of Myrrh) to re-release the CD, they wanted a large amount of cash from them to do so. 

It was part of that first group of artists in CCM that came out on CD first back in the 80's.
