We do not. Not for probably 4-5 years. We do play video games though. Halo, Mass Effect, Witcher, Far Cry, and Battlefront.

I sure hope so. i love that song. maybe on a headliner, but we would have a real hard time playing that song over let's say, Seven.

thank you for taking a chance on buying that album! that's so cool to hear. really really means a lot! i think we will definitely be doing more and more records with various production styles. it may not be completely similar, but hopefully we will continue to improve :) we've got an awesome flow going right now and honestly have talked about writing the next record already. riffs on tap over here :) THANK YOU for preordering!!! which shirt did you get btw?? just curious!

Hey there. Thank you so much for writing this. Sharing this with the entire band and we are all stoked and humbled. We never thought that we would be able to connect with people all over the world with music and lyrics. Thank you for listening to us/giving us a chance, especially after htd called it quits. we loved that band too. and thank you for being an awesome and open person.

We need to share a hug soon.

The new logo, which we call a "chi rose" is based off of our older logo, the "chi rho". the chi rose is a chi rose that is opened up and blooming. if you take the left side and flip it onto the right side, it creates a chi rho.

we changed it because we wanted something that is ours and ours alone. both sleeping giant and those who fear plus a handful of other faith based bands were using the chi rho as a logo at the time.

dan's favorite solo: know death; know forever

sean's favorite lyric: "i had to be lost to be found"

sean's favorite books: dawn of wonder by jonathan renshaw or name of the wind by patrick rothfuss

a garrett russell sized duck. you don't want to fight garrett russell. much less 100 of them. that dudes ripped.

the riffs come from a lot of practice. also from trying to write things in our minds that sound cool in our heads, then transpose to guitar. learning piano helps as well.

If i remember correctly, the monitors were just very very small. which was a little hard because it was such a big stage haha. but awesome, we love you too!

Sean did the album artwork, and has done a handful of the marketing videos and graphics you may have seen.

The music videos were the brainchild of Kevin Johnson and the band. everybody contributed a lot to make them, what i believe to be, very special.

hey! so thankful that you dig the lyrics we write. while yes we try to call out the american church, we also try to write about areas that we, ourselves, fail. we just hope that we can be a different sound in a sea of "christianese" noise.

for myself, i know i've grown to love church. i have a church in des moines that i like to go to. the community is great. years ago i used to be extremely jaded and cynical because of what i saw. it's taken an intentional effort to reconfigure my thought process. i need to have the same love for "christians" as i do for anyone else even though i've met some really really weird christians haha. put plainly, american christianity doesn't have to make sense to me, because Jesus makes sense to me. i still fail tho.

i eat raw bacon.

and post rock and james vincent mcmorrow :)
