Well, it's finally here. More good music from these mates out of Australia. Their new EP is titled "Brighter Skies". Be checking for it on Itunes. These guys are putting out some good music and they deserve not only our support, but our prayers and encouragement to keep doing it. Below you will find a video preview of their new EP. Awesome!
This artist is one that I just recently discovered and quite honestly I was really happy I did. His sound is really hard to pin down; It has elements of the 80's new wave fused with soul and dance, yet it has an element of ambiguity in that you can't ever tell where the song is going to go, which in my opinion makes it very nice. Michael is also involved with the United Pursuit Band collective that's comprised of Will Reagan and others. Here is a great video by him. Check him out!
This is a topic that I always feel resistance from satan about. I guess he really wants Christians to keep diluting and polluting the pure message of Christ. My concern is why Christians keep covering clearly demonic music. I see it in the metal genre often and it always causes me to turn away. Bands that do this are clearly not being led by the Holy Spirit. Some bands that I have seen covered are:
Slayer
Alice In Chains (yes, we all liked them a lot, but look at their fruit)
Danzig (seriously??)
Ozzy
Black Sabbath
Judas Priest
I used to cover bands too, so I am just as guilty, but I have concluded that there is just some music that doesn't glorify Christ. This is why we play. To give Him glory and praise.

Update*** - It never fails... The night after I wrote this I had extremely demonic dreams. Satan totally does not want this message out there. He wants Christians to not only listen to demonic music, but play it. That must make him really happy.
I came to know this epic guitar player by coming across his metal band "Live As Lions". I knew pretty fast when I heard their music that the guitar player was different. I had no idea just how different until I heard some of his solo stuff. I was totally blown away and you will be too. Here is a video of one of his original works.
He also gives guitar lessons and is very interactive and friendly with his fans. You should get to know him.
