And at every turn, he reminds himself and us, as we listen to this song, that God was everything he needed in every one of those moments and will continue to be–even when he might not feel it.   It’s a subtle reference to the story in 1 Kings 19 when the prophet […]

What do these genres all have in common metalcore, post-hardcore, and rock and roll? A passionate fanbase searching for something authentic. It is not just about another heavy band with lyrics full of hating God or hopelessness; heavy music fans crave something real with substance. Across the metal and hardcore scenes, we need bands that bring both talent and deep conviction in their faith. I watch artists who stay true to their faith while delivering excellent music.
