Indie Vision Music is proud to present yet again, a new Slow Coming Day music video for the song “Truth Behind The Lies” off the brand new album “The Lost Tapes” which dropped today through Fair Vaux Recordings and Steadfast Records. We celebrate a great mostly underrated band that has stood the test of time to become a legendary “classic” (can I say that?) band full of cherished much loved indie hits and songs that’ll move you. I have been a Slow Coming Day fan going way back before the Tooth & Nail days back when they released their very first independent EP.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Chalice - Lacerate
This band released one devastatingly heavy album in 1999 for indie upstart Takehold Records, and then like so many other metalcore bands, disappeared after only one album and one split (with fellow-Floridians Set Apart) never to be heard from again. A few members turned up elsewhere–some in the mysterious metal band Yeti, while drummer Nathan Warshowsky served as a studio drum tech for artists as diverse as Forever Changed, Underoath, Day of Fire, and even Paramore.
Deathmask Grin came out just as metalcore as a genre was really taking off, and it was a significant contribution to the genre musically, despite it being heard by so few people.… Continued →

New Release Today (NRT Books) Presents: Mixtape Theology, Inspired by 90's Music and Culture
New Release Today has started “NRT Books” and their first release is “Mixtape Theology” which is a 330+ book that takes a look at 90’s Christian Music and Culture, all the cheese but also that much cherished message and what made it so great. If you’ve been following Mixtape Theology on X (formerly Twitter) you’ll sense a knack for humor and that hint of sarcasm while seeing all the fun and memories many of us hold dear. This sounds like a really great book and one I’ll be ordering for sure.… Continued →

Help Zane Vickery Hit His 50% Campaign Goal (4 Days Left!)
Zane Vickery set out with an ambitious $15,000 goal for his new album, Mockingbird. The funding request largely came after he and his family incurred severe medical expenses from a near-fatal car crash last year. And while it seems unlikely he will hit the full goal in these final few days, if he raises at least 50%, he can begin recording. Factoring in other donations outside of the campaign, this leaves about $2000 left. Can we pull together and help him out? Check out the campaign here.… Continued →

Song of the Day: My Friend Stephanie - Flavor of the Month
I was listening to my old Live at the Strand CD recently. It’s a compilation of artists who played at the legendary Strand Theater in downtown Marietta, GA, just outside of Atlanta. It had been years since I heard the CD and only remembered a few of the tracks on there, and then this absolute banger came on! I looked through all of their albums to see which one it came from, so I could find the studio version to feature here, but I couldn’t find it.… Continued →

Light The Way just dropped a surprise new song titled “My Cat Can Eat a Whole Watermelon” which may sound like humorous, sarcastic, jokey type song based on the title alone but this song is anything but.

Theocracy - Return To Dust (Official Music Video)
Theocracy return with brand new song “Return to Dust”. Watch the music video for the killer song, below. What comes to mind first and foremost is a collage of exploding head emojis, words like “epic” and “soaring”, images of powerful dragons flying through the night skies with stealth, a choir of angels with swords at their sides using their voices to battle the hoards of demons, and for some reason riding a majestic Falkor over massive fields right at sunset. I think of those things as this song plays loud from the comforting embrace of my headphones.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Lies Damned Lies - The Divine Image
Alternative folk-pop trio Lies Damned Lies formed in Glasgow in the late 1980s. Alternately flirting with Scottish modern rock sounds (a la fellow Scots Simple Minds) or with literate folk stylings, the band had a lengthy career through the 1990s and into the 2000s, though they were fairly unknown this side of the pond. They were regulars at the UK’s Greenbelt Festival, and while their lyrics pointed to their Christian faith, several of their releases were on mainstream pop-rock record labels.
“The Divine Image” comes to us from their 1993 full-length The Human Dress.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Lecrae - Jesus Muzik
So Lecrae is a decent gospel rapper that has done pretty well in the industry. I saw him live & talked to him in Chicago a few years back where he autographed a book I bought that was about his story. I like tons of rap genres & artists, but all of them have come from the Christian industry. That’s just my choice & I think it’s a good thing for Christians to be crossover artists as many people can relate & an artist’s dream is then a ministry.… Continued →
