Kevin Max Is The New Lead Vocalist For Audio Adrenaline!

AFTERNOON UPDATE: Sorry folks, Will McGinniss had originally told us Stu from Delirious was on guitar. Apparently it "didn't work out," but he did tell us that guitarist Dave Ghazarian of Superchick is on guitar and Jason Walker (Know Hope Collective) is on keys and additional vocal work!
...........
The word is finally out and we at JFH are thrilled to no longer have to keep our lips sealed. CCM pop rock staple Audio Adrenaline may have disbanded in 2007, but recent developments have made it possible for the band to resurface as a new entity. With the fact that original lead vocalist Mark Stuart has had vocal issues for years, which then played a part in the band's break-up, fans have wondered how it could be possible for Audio Adrenaline to ever make music as a band ever again.

The word is finally out and we at JFH are thrilled to no longer have to keep our lips sealed. CCM pop rock staple Audio Adrenaline may have disbanded in 2007, but recent developments have made it possible for the band to resurface as a new entity. With the fact that original lead vocalist Mark Stuart has had vocal issues for years, which then played a part in the band's break-up, fans have wondered how it could be possible for Audio Adrenaline to ever make music as a band ever again.
No doubt inspired by Newsboys decision to recruit former dc Talk and Tait band vocalist Michael Tait when Peter Furler stepped down, Audio Adrenaline has enlisted the aid of dc Talk vocal powerhouse Kevin Max to take the reins. As far as other Audio A members returning, the only original member to pick up his instrument once again is bass player Will McGinniss. Drummer Ben Cissell will not be returning, and neither will guitarist/vocalist Tyler Burkum who has been on the road with Mat Kearney (almost since Audio A disbanded in the spring of '07) and is also a member of the band Leagues.
Joining Max in the new Audio Adrenaline is former Superchick guitarist Dave Ghazarian on guitar (who also has been playing with Peter Furler's band this year) and Bleach drummer Jared Byers on drums. Byers actually filled in for Cissell on Audio A's final spring tour in 2007 when Cissell had already been committed to his first post-AA job as manager of Nashville youth club Rocketown. To make the band a quintet, solo artist Jason Walker will be providing keys and additional vocals (much like Burkum did, according to McGinniss), and recently worked with AA members Mark Stuart and McGinniss on the Know Hope Collective project.
The newly revitalized band is hoping to raise funds and awareness for the Haitian orphan ministry called The Hands and Feet Project through this new musical chapter in Audio A's history, and are hoping to hop on the festival circuit in the coming months. Audio Adrenaline is also planning a new studio album to be released in 2013! (We can tell you it's shaping up to be pretty great, too!)
More details about the new Audio Adrenaline will be announced soon.

[interview] Sunroad " we keep our faith and concentration and do the best we can"
By METAL_PULSE_RADIO
It has been 3 years since Brazilian metal band, SUNROAD, released their last album: LONG GONE. Dale from Metal Pulse had a chance to catch up with Frederico Mika (FM) to see what they’ve been up to and discuss their upcoming release.
I know Sunroad has been around for a while, could you tell how you got started?
- Fred Mika: Sunroad started in Ago/1996 when my cousin, Danillo Vee, an acoustic guitar teacher called me to form a rock group. By the early days we used to play covers of our influences groups such Scorpions, Led Zeppelin, Uli Roth, MSG, UFO, Van Halen, Triumph and more like this. In 1997 we started to compose our own material despite the fact in that year, Danillo Vee quit the band.
How did you come up with the name Sunroad?
- FM: The band was originally named Baptized by Aliens but one year after, we decided to change to something positive.. Sunroad was taken from to Uli Jon Roth (ex-Scorpions) previous band, Electric Sun and Dawn Road. When I got converted in 1999 the name seemed to fit like a glove.
Is Sunroad working on any new music? If so when could we see a new cd?
FM: We’re actually recording the guidelines for our next album; Carved In Time, the seventh one (including the EP and the collection) and it will be release by November or early December
What is Sunroad mission?
FM: By the early days we wanted to keep in the traditional hard n´heavy school because we felt in the nineties most every band was playing alternative rock. Then 2 or 3 years ago, as I got converted deeply into Christianity, the lyrics started to reflect the ethical way of life. We began to look for inner and reflexive messages and we wanted to support helpless children, woman and animals around the world with page links to connect our fans that share a mutual view and interactive actions.
What would you like for Sunroad fans to get out of your music?
FM: A positive and deep view of reconciling our human internal perceptions of God in the face of a modern world. Also a message of ethical ways and the right of abandoned people and animals
What do you think of Christian music scene these days?
FM: In Brazil when you talk about Christian music to people outside Christian music, they think of traditional gospel music, but the growing number of dynamic groups has been increasing in several directions. I mean, today, you can find Christian groups in all styles, pop rock, heavy metal, reggae, soul, blues, funk, etc, etc. There’s no excuse on hearing some your favorite style without hearing some Christian group. In the early days, there wasn’t this kind of selection and diversity within Christian music. . It’s easier today, Thanks be to God.
How do you feel about sharing the stage with secular bands?
FM: Many times the problem is not on the stage, but rather, in the dressing rooms or backstage. We have heard and seen many things that we don’t approve. As possible we talk with them about the other side and a more positive way of facing things, but we’re not radicals ones. When it’s not possible to talk with them; we keep our faith and concentration and do the best we can.
Thank you very much for your time Fred, any final words for our readers?
FM: Reflexive thinking and actions are important in all areas of life today, especially in a world with global hyper-connected media. If you’ll seek very deeply, you’ll see that God gives all the answers. In this way you’re transgressing without aggression.
Thank you Dale and to all the goodwill people. PEACE to all and classic rock lives forever!

Wacken 2012 : Stand da Metal Bible é fechada por seguranças...
 |
Carl Johannes Jonsson |
Hello my friends and thanx VERY much for your prayers! They have meant more than words can say. This was a really tough yet successful outreach as you will read below and we definately needed your prayers to back us up.
This year ca 75 000 metalheads were gathered at Wacken Open Air, the biggest metal festival in the world!! Besides visitors there were also thousands of volunteers, sellers etc so all in all it was at least ca 100 000 people gathered. The festival takes place at a small town called Wacken in northern Germany.
We were ca 60 Christians involved in the outreach hailing from Germany, Sweden, and Switzerland.
A cool thing was all the incredible support and practical help we got with food and sleeping place from the two local churches Christuszentrum Itzehoe and Ev. Freik. Wilstermarsch. (Danke schön, you all rock!)
We were stationed in the market place (Metal Community/CMI/White Metal Shop and also had mobile metal bible teams offering metal bibles and prayer to anyone interested. At all these places Metal Bibles were given away for free to anyone interested. We just put up signs offering Metal Bibles for free and then the interested came and picked their copies.
As always we started each morning with prayer and worship at our base camp located ca 15 minutes from the festival area.
We also made sure that we celebrated the Lord's Supper at each of our stations, proclaiming Jesus' victory over satan and that each of these places belong to God. After we did this the air was cleansed and the evil forces had to move away from these areas.
As always Metal Bibles were spread to anyone interested. We put up signs saying "feel free to take a Metal Bible" and then the interested came forward and took a copy of it. Something really cool was to see how thankful so many were that they could get the Metal Bible for free. It felt really good to show them God's love by giving it away for free.
We also put out signs with the text "if you want to we can pray and bless you".
Several then came to us and wanted to have us to pray for them. So we were just there for the people, available for them and just showing them God's love, ministering to all that wanted our help. During the festival wemet many that were really open for God and had many questions about God and we got to witness to many.
We got a great start of the outreach, first three days ca 6000 metal bibles were distributed. On the third day we also heard that a wife had sent her husband to Wacken with the order that he mustn't come back unless he has a Metal Bible with him! So, the interest was definately huge. A total of 15 000 Metal Bibles were distributed this year! So, all the glory to GOD for that! Local radio and newspapers also came and did interviews about the Metal Bible, so God opened some really cool doors. Amen.
Most importantly however were all the good talks about Christian faith we had with people on the festival. Some were just on the borderline to come to know Christ. Pray that God will continue to work in them and in everyone that we got the witness for and/or got a metal bible with them home. Pray that God will continue to work in them and speak prophetically into their lives through the testimonies and Bible texts.
That was the good part - now over to the tough one!
Last year we had a great cooperation with the festival leadership about the Metal Bibles. Then, the festival even ordered 1000 metal bibles themselves to use at the festival! This year however things had radically changed to the opposite and the festival leadership were now totally against the Metal Bible. :-(
Something really sad happened as a result of this negative attitude. Without warning the guards came to my booth late on Thursday night and said that I, all of a sudden, was not allowed to have Metal Bibles in my stand and said that because of this I had to close down - and I had to do it NOW!! This happened in the middle of the night without any warning or other explanation. I told them that since I had paid for my place and also declared that I would have books (bibles are books) in my tent, I had all the right in the world to be there, but they were ruthless and merciless and said that we had to close down and get out of the festival area, right away. Then later, another chief guard came and cut our ticket bracelets in half and said we were banned from the area and were not allowed to come back.
So, since I realized that the guards wouldn't back an inch and had strong orders to throw us out, no matter what we said, we just kept silent and calmly and without any harsh words just packed down the tent and closed down. When this happened some however still came and wanted to have Metal Bibles but the guards stopped them brutally by force, gripped their arms and forced them to not take the Metal Bibles! Some others were trying to buy Christian Metal merchandise from us and they were also stopped by the guards. In fact we were treated just like criminals, although we had done nothing wrong!!! All the other sellers from the merchandise tents around us also couldn't understand why we the nice guys that treated people good were the ones that were thrown out. They totally sympathized with us. The metalheads that dropped by sympathized with us as well. No one could understand why we were thrown out.
Then when all was packed down the guards took me and the tent in their pickup. At this moment I felt like a prisoner going to jail. They drove me out of the festival area and then they just throw off all the tent stuff and metal bibles outside the area and then just left me there, out of nowhere, in the middle of the night!
My friends however were not allowed to go the same way as I went, instead they were directed to the opposite side of the festival area. Then it took one long hour before they finally found me. So until they came I just sat there alone on a metal bible box, feeling shocked, depressed, humilated, frustrated, angry and thinking about the situation. I have never ever in my life felt so humiliated and mistreated! I all know very well that we should be glad to suffer for Christ sake, and that is true, but I can assure you that I was everything but happy in this situation! Maybe I'm just way too immature and not as Christlike as I should be...
I never thought that I ever would be treated as a criminal. I also paid for my booth for the whole festival but now they just ripped me off of the two best days for metal bibles and sales. Anyway, I got back with my friends and came back to our base about 4.30 in the morning. Needless to say me and my colleagues were feeling extremely low the following day. We were totally crushed! I felt like I was not just under the surface, but on the bottom of the sea. That's how low I felt. I was totally out of energy and didn't even had the strength to pray nor worship.
However, God gave us new strength and we slowly started to recover, but it took a few days to get back in shape. Somehow, we however know that God will do something good out of this. God also protected us and our things so the guards couldn't hurt us nor destroyed any of our things.
But what we saw here was nothing else than real SPIRITUAL WARFARE! Satan, our enemy is so scared and angry that we Christian are at Wacken (the centre of the Metal world) and the impact the Metal Bible have on the metal world, now when it is also released in world languages like English and Spanish, so he tries even his most filthy and dirty tricks to try to crush us. But he won't succeed with that! Cause he is a Loser and Jesus is Lord! It seems that we are such a big threat to him that he even had to use the festival leadership and the guards to throw us out.
What we faced here was nothing else than persecution and it was like being in the book of Acts with Paul and Peter and the other dudes. They were treated even worse than we, thrown in prisons etc just because they were Christians. But just because we are Christians we should however not let people treat us bad against the law, but instead stick our constitutional legal rights, just as Paul did! Acts 16:35-39. So therefore I demand justice, to have the money back that I paid for my booth and compensation for the two days they took from me and compensation for being so mistreated, without having done anything wrong. I also want a big excuse. (A lawyer is now working for me and fighting for my legal rights, please pray for that).
Of course we have forgiven the guards and the festival leadership, cause they were just tools not knowing what they did. And we are not fighting against them, but against the demonic forces that used them as tools.
At the festival there were also lots of occult garbage. Even saw voodoo dolls and satanic bibles in the booths around us! There were also bondage shows taking place at the festival area. Still it seems like the Metal Bible was the most controversial thing on the festival. Wacken's motto is Faster, Harder and Louder, but it seems like the Metal Bible is too hard, too tough and too much Metal für Wacken! :-)
Anyway, on the positive side we had lots of great talks about Christ with people that came to us and wanted to talk. Of course there were also some people that just wanted to discuss and mock us, and some even burned bibles. Most of the people, however, that came to us had an open mind and were really thankful for the free Metal Bibles.
This year we also had the metal bible in Polish and Spanish! Especially the Spanish
speaking people were very thankful to get the metal bible in their language. Since Spanish is such a big language and the metal interest is huge in Spanish speaking countries we will now spread it in full force in South America, Central America, Mexica, Spain and all other Spanish speaking countries. That will be great and bring a big harvest for the kingdom of God! Amen, and that's what this is all about. As you see it is not a nice game we are in, but a brutal reality with a very real enemy. It's a brutal war about souls, but the hardships we face are all worth it for anyone that comes to know Jesus as a result and gets saved for eternity. It's all worth it! That's what I'm living for and no matter the cost I'm willing to pay the price.
Please keep all the the people that received metal bibles and that we ministered to in prayer, that God will urge them to read it and that God will speak prophetically into their lives through the bibles and that they will find Christ through it.
Besides spreading bibles I was also selling Christian metal merchandise in my Metal Community booth during the festival. My colleague Henrik from White Metal Shop that shared the booth was also selling cool belts, jewellery, rings with crosses and brutal Christian Metal. By standing there and selling Christian Metal many misconceptions about Christian Metal were broken. Pray that God will continue to speak to them through the Christian Metal merchandise they bought and continue His work in them and that the things they bought will be tools to help many to Christ.
To sum it up this was a real rollercoaster trip with both ups and downs. But as I said in the beginning 15 000 Metal Bibles went out and we got to witness and pray for many. Amen. So all in all, despite the bad treatment we faced GOD did many great things and He will continue and accomplish His work in each and everyone that we met. Cause the Bible says that the Word of God won't return void, since God will watch over it to complete His work in these persons lives. (Isaiah 55:11, Jeremiah 1:12). I'm sure God will somehow use also the hardships we faced this year to bring in a great harvest for the Lord. Psalm 126 also says that if we saw with tears we shall reap with joy.
So, I want to end this report to thank GOD for being with us and for all He did during this metal bible outreach. To GOD be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
In His Service

When this happened some however still came and wanted to have Metal Bibles but the guards stopped them brutally by force, gripped their arms and forced them to not take the Metal Bibles! Some others were trying to buy Christian Metal merchandise from us and they were also stopped by the guards. In fact we were treated just like criminals, although we had done nothing wrong!!! All the other sellers from the merchandise tents around us also couldn't understand why we the nice guys that treated people good were the ones that were thrown out. They totally sympathized with us. The metalheads that dropped by sympathized with us as well. No one could understand why we were thrown out.
Then when all was packed down the guards took me and the tent in their pickup. At this moment I felt like a prisoner going to jail. They drove me out of the festival area and then they just throw off all the tent stuff and metal bibles outside the area and then just left me there, out of nowhere, in the middle of the night!
My friends however were not allowed to go the same way as I went, instead they were directed to the opposite side of the festival area. Then it took one long hour before they finally found me. So until they came I just sat there alone on a metal bible box, feeling shocked, depressed, humilated, frustrated, angry and thinking about the situation. I have never ever in my life felt so humiliated and mistreated! I all know very well that we should be glad to suffer for Christ sake, and that is true, but I can assure you that I was everything but happy in this situation! Maybe I'm just way too immature and not as Christlike as I should be...
I never thought that I ever would be treated as a criminal. I also paid for my booth for the whole festival but now they just ripped me off of the two best days for metal bibles and sales. Anyway, I got back with my friends and came back to our base about 4.30 in the morning. Needless to say me and my colleagues were feeling extremely low the following day. We were totally crushed! I felt like I was not just under the surface, but on the bottom of the sea. That's how low I felt. I was totally out of energy and didn't even had the strength to pray nor worship.
However, God gave us new strength and we slowly started to recover, but it took a few days to get back in shape. Somehow, we however know that God will do something good out of this. God also protected us and our things so the guards couldn't hurt us nor destroyed any of our things.
But what we saw here was nothing else than real SPIRITUAL WARFARE! Satan, our enemy is so scared and angry that we Christian are at Wacken (the centre of the Metal world) and the impact the Metal Bible have on the metal world, now when it is also released in world languages like English and Spanish, so he tries even his most filthy and dirty tricks to try to crush us. But he won't succeed with that! Cause he is a Loser and Jesus is Lord! It seems that we are such a big threat to him that he even had to use the festival leadership and the guards to throw us out.
What we faced here was nothing else than persecution and it was like being in the book of Acts with Paul and Peter and the other dudes. They were treated even worse than we, thrown in prisons etc just because they were Christians. But just because we are Christians we should however not let people treat us bad against the law, but instead stick our constitutional legal rights, just as Paul did! Acts 16:35-39. So therefore I demand justice, to have the money back that I paid for my booth and compensation for the two days they took from me and compensation for being so mistreated, without having done anything wrong. I also want a big excuse. (A lawyer is now working for me and fighting for my legal rights, please pray for that).
Of course we have forgiven the guards and the festival leadership, cause they were just tools not knowing what they did. And we are not fighting against them, but against the demonic forces that used them as tools.
At the festival there were also lots of occult garbage. Even saw voodoo dolls and satanic bibles in the booths around us! There were also bondage shows taking place at the festival area. Still it seems like the Metal Bible was the most controversial thing on the festival. Wacken's motto is Faster, Harder and Louder, but it seems like the Metal Bible is too hard, too tough and too much Metal für Wacken! :-)
Anyway, on the positive side we had lots of great talks about Christ with people that came to us and wanted to talk. Of course there were also some people that just wanted to discuss and mock us, and some even burned bibles. Most of the people, however, that came to us had an open mind and were really thankful for the free Metal Bibles.
This year we also had the metal bible in Polish and Spanish! Especially the Spanish
speaking people were very thankful to get the metal bible in their language. Since Spanish is such a big language and the metal interest is huge in Spanish speaking countries we will now spread it in full force in South America, Central America, Mexica, Spain and all other Spanish speaking countries. That will be great and bring a big harvest for the kingdom of God! Amen, and that's what this is all about. As you see it is not a nice game we are in, but a brutal reality with a very real enemy. It's a brutal war about souls, but the hardships we face are all worth it for anyone that comes to know Jesus as a result and gets saved for eternity. It's all worth it! That's what I'm living for and no matter the cost I'm willing to pay the price.
Please keep all the the people that received metal bibles and that we ministered to in prayer, that God will urge them to read it and that God will speak prophetically into their lives through the bibles and that they will find Christ through it.
Besides spreading bibles I was also selling Christian metal merchandise in my Metal Community booth during the festival. My colleague Henrik from White Metal Shop that shared the booth was also selling cool belts, jewellery, rings with crosses and brutal Christian Metal. By standing there and selling Christian Metal many misconceptions about Christian Metal were broken. Pray that God will continue to speak to them through the Christian Metal merchandise they bought and continue His work in them and that the things they bought will be tools to help many to Christ.
To sum it up this was a real rollercoaster trip with both ups and downs. But as I said in the beginning 15 000 Metal Bibles went out and we got to witness and pray for many. Amen. So all in all, despite the bad treatment we faced GOD did many great things and He will continue and accomplish His work in each and everyone that we met. Cause the Bible says that the Word of God won't return void, since God will watch over it to complete His work in these persons lives. (Isaiah 55:11, Jeremiah 1:12). I'm sure God will somehow use also the hardships we faced this year to bring in a great harvest for the Lord. Psalm 126 also says that if we saw with tears we shall reap with joy.
So, I want to end this report to thank GOD for being with us and for all He did during this metal bible outreach. To GOD be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
In His Service

[review] Antidemon | pocalypseNow
REVIEW BY Keven Crothers
I’m not a big fan of relentless grindcore music. Most often it is poorly recorded and thinly produced, not to mention the pure mess of lyrical content I’ve often heard. Not a big fan. So when I was offered a chance to hear this release I thought, “Well if Steve Rowe likes them I’ll give them a spin and a chance.” Man I’m glad I took the opportunity.
Yes the vocals from Batista sound like someone gargling battery acid, but it’s the whole package. The sledgehammer riffs, the pure pounding drum assault (which isn’t all one speed) the battling bass which rounds it out. The best part here is that the songs actually have a melody, and with the various tempo changes it gives something very entertaining for the listener.
Juliana on the drums delivers a fabulous performance that is really amazing. Luis offers a tremendous guitar outing with a solid performance that will get you headbanging like no one’s business.
The tracks are well arranged and don’t fall into that ‘it all sounds the same syndrome.’ That impressed me, and impressed me enough to be excited about this album. I’m not a grindcore aficionado so who I would compare them with??? Haven’t a clue actually, but with a musical offering such as this it doesn’t matter. If you want full on hard grind here it is, and the lyrics are just as full on but from a God glorifying point of view. (It should be noted that Rowe Productions compare them with Morbid Angel and Suffocation if that gives you an idea of what to expect.)
As best as I can tell the vocals are in Portuguese but its grindcore, and the lyrics are translated into English for those of us who are too lazy to know two languages (thank you very much I’m a slacker). There are just 11 tracks of full on pounding grinding death, like being hit with a concrete slab. With tracks such as Hellward, Welcome to Death, King of Glory you get the idea.
Rowe Productions gets big thumbs up for this release and Antidemon gets an 8 axe review for this album of intense grind that glorifies Jesus Christ the One True and Living GOD!! ApocalypeNow indeed!

[interview] POD : Selo cristão lança Murdered Love sem " I Am".
As it turns out, the version released to the Christian market (through Provident) doesn't have that song at all. And the mainstream version will include the song, but the f-word is bleeped out.
Yeah. At first we were thinking about a clean version and an explicit version, with a warning label. That way people know what they're getting. But the label decided to just go with a clean version. So I'm like, "Well, that settles a year-and-a-half of praying and debating over this thing forever." I get it. But the song is so intense, and now it just sounds like we sold out and it's weak, and it kind of loses its power.
Sandoval at a P.O.D. show
Remember that U-2 song? [Sandoval starts singing "Wake Up Dead Man."] "Jesus, Jesus help me / I'm alone in this world / And a f---ed up world it is too." They got slapped for saying that, but it's the most honest prayer I think I've ever heard—yet it's not "Christianity worthy." But the world hears that and they're like "Dude, that's how I feel." You know? You can come to the throne of grace and you can pray that prayer, because God's not offended by it. He wants your heart. Why do we act like we have it all together? It's just frustrating.

[interview] Flatfoot 56 " We are blunt, ...
HM Magazine — August 2012
You guys are serious about your spirituality. You have a community you're a part of. What's this community like?
Our home church is a huge part of our daily lives and we love them so much. It's a community of people who have a real heart for their South side of Chicago neighborhood and want to serve it. We are a small church, but it's full of people who aren't into playing around when it comes to loving each other and doing what Christ told us to do. We are blunt, to the point, rough around the edges and will be the first to tell you we are the roughest warped boards and bent nails that God ever decided to build with. But, by the grace of God, we go. Love it to death.
Why do you hold on to your faith in a day when you could just as easily stare at a computer screen and just drop out?
Because computers are boring and God is not.

Living Fire to release new album “Jesus Rules” on Thumper Punk Records
LIVING FIRE releases new album “JESUS RULES”
CD Pre-Orders Available Now
Transmitting
the message of the Cross through punk rock with old school-styled
adoration lyrics is LIVING FIRE’s objective. The Brazilian band was
created in 2005 and in the beginning it was solely an evangelistic
project, with no fixed line up. The musicians
participating in events were all invitees, except for the bass and
vocals by Luis Medeiros, also bass player for the band Judas O Outro and
founder of the project, who states: “In the beginning, it was just for
fun. I wanted to record the album because at the beginning of my
conversion I had no knowledge of any Punk / Hardcore Christian bands. I
didn’t know that, even singing with my accent, the songs would have such
an impact.”
In
2011, Luis was joined by Murillo Henrique Xavier and Wesley Farina
Chumiski on guitar, and Michel Oliveira who produced the album and
played drums. The songs started to be recorded in July 2011, having as a highlight the opening track named JESUS IS NOT DEAD. Two
cover songs were added to the album: OLD RUGGED CROSS (a Christian
music classic) and ONE WAY (maybe Hillsong United’s best known song). The full song list is:
1. JESUS IS NOT DEAD
2. COME WITH US
3. LOVE OF JESUS
4. JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE US
5. OLD RUGGED CROSS
6. MISSION
7. HE WILL COME AGAIN
8. ENOUGH
9. ONE WAY
10. THE GLORY OF THE LORD
11. REDEMPTION OF HIS LOVE
12. BOUNCING AROUND
13. I WANT YOU LORD
14. ADORE THE LORD
In
January 2012, the band signed up with the SAVED RECORDS label,
connecting with PIMENTAS DO REINO SHOP for the album’s digital
distribution. In July 2012, LIVING FIRE signed up with THUMPER PUNK
RECORDS, a label which helps artists record, produce and distribute
music that reflects a positive, Christ-centered message.
With
no other intent but to praise the Lord with overwhelming joy and
energy, LIVING FIRE strives to adhere to Jesus’ commandments in Mark
16:15, thus transmitting GOD’s word to places where it would not be
inserted through conventional means. JESUS RULES is available for immediate download at http://thumperpunkrecords.bandcamp.com, and through iTunes and other digital retailers. CD pre-orders are available through the THUMPER PUNK RECORDS webstore (http://thumperpunkrecords.storenvy.com) for shipment in early September.
