Song of the Day: Fallen Walls - Psalm
Hailing from Leopoldshöhe, Germany, this rare melodic thrash band released 1 EP & 1 LP before disbanding. Their music is very hard to find so I uploaded most to Youtube for your listening pleasure. Instead of thinking thrashy Vengeance Rising, think of newer music that falls within part thrash/part metalcore & you will get a feeling of how this band sounds. The Spirit of Metal site still has them listed as active. but they haven’t released anything since 2005 from what I have found. Also their lyrics are definitely Christian as each of their songs comes directly from different parts of the Bible.… Continued →

We will be posting the lyric video for this killer new song over on our YouTube channel January 12th at 8am PST. As soon as the premiere is ready, it’ll be posted here.

easily caters to the audiences of artists such as Sade, Dido, Sia, Plumb, or Sixpence None the Richer — her music is
nothing short of spiritually sound for this up and coming faith-based artist”.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Hearken - Filthy Rags
I do these song of the days to hopefully spread the Christian music that I like & have accumulated out into this big world. Some of this music has almost been buried into obscurity as such as this band Hearken. They are a Texan death metal band.
Here’s the Bible passage where the lyrics come from.
Isaiah 64:6-7 KJV
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.… Continued →

Song of the Day: Abide In Me - Deer, Oh Dear
Abide in Me is one of those early screamo bands I found out about from RadioU’s metal show hoster by Jaddeus Dempsey. He had a plethora of bands I have never heard of before & this is one of them. This was the era of Myspace & Purevolume which I am pretty sure the band had pages on. It appears the band was from Louisiana per perusing Facebook & Twitter. Seems to be the same band as they call themselves spirit filled hardcore. Check em out.… Continued →
