Members and sidemen of DORO PESCH, QUIET RIOT, WIDOWMAKER, SARAYA, PRONG and FOREIGNER banded together under the moniker HOLY WATER in the late '80's to create music with all the promise of a true rock and roll classic: Hooks and melodies galore, monster guitar riffs, a bone crushing rhythm section and just enough keyboards and harmony vocals to bridge the gap between '80's pomp and '90's power. In 1992, the final incarnation of HOLY WATER included David Knight (vocals), Thomas Jude (guitar), Freddy Villano (bass) and Chuck Bonfante (drums) with former Foreigner member Al Greenwood producing and playing keyboards.

Recently remastered by Patrick Klein (THE LIZARDS) and packaged by Cosmocto, The Collected Sessions is a never-before-released CD chronicling Holy Water's mercurial career. The nine-song disc opens with The Green Machine Sessions, a stellar, three-song set featuring the brilliantly crafted AOR-ready single 'I'm Not Worried Anymore'. Produced in the early Nineties by Al Greenwood, these three songs have been ranked among the classics of melodic rock by industry insiders.

The Collected Sessions also features demos from the Studio 1212 Sessions, The Grand Slam Sessions, The Mask Sessions as well as two newly recorded songs, dubbed The Perris Sessions. Joining Knight, Jude and Villano on these latter tracks are drummer Bobby Marks, who recently filled in for Mick Brown on Dokken's summer tour, and keyboardist Jay Davidson, famous in the rock world for his work with Aerosmith and Cinderella.
