It was one of the first bands to combine Christian [[lyrics]] with a [[hard rock]] sound. ==History== [[File:Jerusalemlogga.jpg|thumb|Official Jerusalem logo]] Jerusalem's message was primarily aimed at youth, with their lyrics describing the band's relationship to [[God]] in an ordinary, but radical way. The band's purpose was expressly [[Evangelism|evangelistic]]. Their concerts have been described as a series of [[revival meeting]]s which often included [[altar call]]s and occasionally [[exorcisms]].¡When the band first toured in the mid-1970s in Sweden, their combination of Christian lyrics with a hard rock sound was very controversial. The band was only permitted to perform at a few churches. ==Discography== ''For albums released in both Swedish and English versions, the English titles are in parentheses.'' ===Studio albums=== * ''[[Jerusalem (Volume 1) (album)|Jerusalem (Volume 1)]]'' (1978/1980) * ''[[Volym 2 (Volume 2) (album)|Volym 2 (Volume 2)]]'' (1980/1981) * ''[[Krigsman (Warrior) (album)|Krigsman (Warrior)]]'' (1981/1982) * ''[[Vi Kan Inte Stoppas (Can't Stop Us Now) (album)|Vi Kan Inte Stoppas (Can't Stop Us Now)]]'' (1983/1984) * ''[[Dancing on the Head of the Serpent (album)|Dancing on the Head of the Serpent]]'' (1987/1988) * ''[[Prophet (album)|Prophet]]'' (1994) * ''[[Volym 3 (Those Were the Days) (album)|Volym Tre (Those Were the Days)]]'' (1996/199
