Check out the new Stephen Christian solo album titled “Wildfires” now wherever fine music is sold/streamed. The 10 track album on BEC Recordings is full of haunting and beautiful worship anthems with cutting edge production to make a highly enjoyable listening experience.

Stephen Christian Releases New Song "Trust" As Part of Pre-Order
Stephen Christian (Ex-Anberlin) has released an epic new anthem titled “Trust” that is rich in texture and a sonic powerhouse. This new wave influenced pop worship song is sure to make a fan out of anyone who loves Stephen’s unique one of a kind voice and lyrical boldness. I’d much rather listen to this new “Wildfires” album than the majority of stuff on Christian radio (sorry Christian radio CCM fans). Before you throw out the “cheesy” remarks or hipster dissatisfaction just realize that Stephen along with Anberlin, paved the way for so many bands to pick up their guitars, bass, and drums.… Continued →

Anberlin to (Possibly) Press Vinyl Box Set One More Time
Anberlin which broke up in 2014, has stayed relatively busy behind the scenes with producing an incredible (that I wished I owned) Vinyl box set featuring all 7 full length releases along with a coffee table book. As was expected, the vinyl box set sold out a few months after going on sale, all 1000 copies sold out. Sellers across third party sites are marking these things up double and triple from what they originally went on sale at. It’s crazy. I waited too late personally and due to unforeseen circumstances wasn’t able to purchase when it was on sale.… Continued →

The band also began shipping their retrospective discography on vinyl last week.… Continued →
