Joshua Shuler Why I love this band… I can’t put it any better than they do, because it’s Scripture Based, Christ Exalted, Metal Gospel! They interact and communicate with fans, and in every comment and communication, they Give All Glory To God🙌🏻
They are not at all white washed tombs.
Favorite Track… it’s too soon to tell?
Though I am pretty fond of Lazarus, and Two Masters! It all rocks!! Praise Jesus!

written by Patrick Best (based on Mark 5:1-20) a man from the tombs, with an unclean spirit, doomed unable to be restrained, no chains nor strength, contained nite and day he howled and self maimed, his body covered in wounds from the caves he ran bruised and bowed, on his knees shouting loud "what have You to do with me?" "Son of the Most High God" "i beg of You, do not torment me" "come out of this man," Christ commands thee" enter - into the swine - begging the Master they denied enter - into the swine - permission given to reside into the swine at the hand of the Divine "oh send us into the swine" - "oh please let us enter them" "we beg of You, please no abyss" - "demon, what is your name?" legion it said and they entered the herd on a hillside roaming untamed down the steep bank they rushed insane and into the sea drowned the claimed "what have You to do with me?" "Son of the Most High God" "i beg of You, do not torment me" "come out of this man," Christ commands thee" enter - into the swine - begging the Master they denied enter - into the swine - permission given to reside into the swine at the hand of the Divine townspeople heard and came to see while looking upon in fear for the man was clothed and in right mind with Jesus there and two thousand dead swine enter - into the swine - begging the Master they denied enter - into the swine - permission given to reside into the swine at the hand of the Divine "go and tell everyone, the work in you the Lord has done" "go and tell Decapolis, the mercy you've been shown" finis
