Convictions - Sleeping Lotus (Official Music Video)

[@StevenPrime1988]

This band needs more love.

[@ConvictionsRock]

Man...

[@ScarletWhite88]

Agreed

[@josephindorf759]

They're so fire. Ohio represent babbbyy 330 🫡

[@w3irdflexbr0]

Loving the new lineup and I was totally caught off guard by those high screams at the end. His range is crazy good.

[@galatians51]

THOSE HIGHS AT THE ENDDDDD BRO WE NEED MORE OF THOSE

[@ConvictionsRock]

careful what you wish for..

[@Orlandovictory42]

Metalcore: the genre that for some reason always carries around flares

[@Deletirium]

Lol, right? 😂

[@retep5268]

Dont stop putting Jesus and your faith in your lyrics. In the sea of depressing or angry lyrics, you guys stand out with a message of hope in Jesus. Thank you!

[@NowhereLeft]

They don’t need to do this in EVERY song.

[@Hopium500]

​@NowhereLeft they're literally a Christian band.

[@NowhereLeft]

@@Hopium500 i’m aware, doesn’t mean every single song needs to be about it.

[@ReprogrammedToHate]

​@@NowhereLeftyou don't get to decide their lyrical input

[@NowhereLeft]

@@ReprogrammedToHate the original commenter was doing that and my comment was essentially telling THAT person to not decide their lyrical input. My point was that they are a Christian band and if they decide to not talk about Christianity in ONE song that should be okay and people shouldn’t get triggered by it

[@benheiss]

What an absolute masterpiece! And MIKE, I didn't think your screams could get any more intense. And those highs you snuck in there!? Incredible.

[@MrApex-xz2ge]

I know right? This band keeps getting better! Though, I really do need to check out some of their older stuff...

[@unknown_gamer6956]

@@MrApex-xz2ge their "I Will Become" and "I Am Nothing" albums are insanely solid dude. i cant really say they have a bad song

[@MrApex-xz2ge]

@@unknown_gamer6956 I really like I Will Become, especially the song Brothers Blood, with the feature from Rory Rodriguez. I also liked the album Hope for the Broken, particularly the song Never Wanted It This Way. Haven't checked out I Am Nothing yet.

[@jonahbarge]

Mike's vocals on this are INSANE 🔥🔥🔥

[@karmasabitch8383]

🤘🏻

[@ScarletWhite88]

They always are.

[@nets100]

In a time we’re there’s barely any actual Christian metal bands, you guys not only stand out, but grow the kingdom. Never change ❤️

[@ATeenagerFromMars]

There are a lot of Christian metal bands. Idk what you mean haha

[@Mavvyd96]

There are a lot. A lot just aren't big.

[@nets100]

@@ATeenagerFromMars not super outspoken bands.

[@ATeenagerFromMars]

@@nets100 i would disagree. Demon Hunter, Sleeping Giant, Impending Doom, P.O.D, War Of Ages, Becoming the Archetype, Wolves at the gate, for today, fit for a king. And most of those are just the more popular ones 😂. All those bands are christian and aren’t afraid to express their faith.

[@skywalkerjones]

I’m pretty sure Underoath is Christian, everyone knows August Burns Red, As I Lay Dying (at one point before Tim tried to kill his wife), Impending Doom, For Today (disbanded but still under the category and Mattie Montgomery is a pastor I believe), Norma Jean to name the mainstream ones. I think even Wage War is Christian as well. Then some not so popular ones; Dehumanize, With Blood Comes Cleansing, Cultist, Ignite the Gods, Underneath the Gun. Hope this helps someone. I’ve been building a playlist of bands over the years and more come to light (no pun intended) as time goes on.

[@adrianmoreno2354]

Oh boy mixing up the high-pitched screaming huh? I thought it couldn't get better, God just keeps blessing us with their music!

[@emilioaab]

in times like these it's an important message to wake up! to open the spiritual eyes

[@ConvictionsRock]

[@AlexMiller-3821]

Mike is absolutely killing it!! Such a masterpiece of a song! And that ending 😱😱

[@ConvictionsRock]

Thank you so so much! -Mike

[@lucasde99]

Bro those highs 😳😳 Absolute banger of a track!

[@ConvictionsRock]

Thank you!!

[@MrApex-xz2ge]

I'm gonna be looping this while I do the rest of my college work tonight! Have to try real hard not to headbang too much lol. Really appreciate the lyrics here, too. They're really relatable for where it feels like I'm at with my life and the mix of screams and cleans here is right up my alley! This song is my favorite from what I've heard of your discography.

[@nickmedley4749]

This is the era where Christians are thriving in the metal scene, and I’m here for it! God is good ❤️

[@Ethereal.Comatose]

really hope theres a new album in store this year! this is really good

[@SkellyRen]

Goodness, Mike's range is so amazing. So much to love about this song. Can not wait to hear more....after listening this one on repeat for a while.

[@ConvictionsRock]

This really means a lot. Thank you -Mike

[@brandencrago7164]

i hope we see more of those highs in songs going forward sick !!!!

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

What the heck at 3:18 , that scream! Someone just prestiged and went NEXT LEVEL! Channeling a little Travis Ryan with that false chord high scream! LOVE IT!

[@gabesings]

Super underrated band!

[@ConvictionsRock]

[@ScarletWhite88]

Agreed😊

[@uriahmichael4522]

This is such a banger, there's a reason I collect every CD and vinyl you guys put out🖤🖤🖤 can't wait for the new album

[@paulvachon6538]

Way too underrated of a band. First discovered them when they opened for Oh, Sleeper in Ottawa. They were so much fun to watch and I bought a hat from their merch stand. Those high screams are next level. Hope they come back around to Canada soon!

[@thedumbestdoge881]

Not bagging on other bands, but what I love about this band is every song isnt “Praise Jesus”, they’re about the struggles of being a Christian. It helps to know that the battle of flesh vs spirit that we often lose isn’t a fight we fight alone.

[@cradle1017]

Going to see them in Savannah GA can't wait.

[@ConvictionsRock]

CANT WAIT!

[@OfficialKatiesMedia]

Epic release!! Thank you for putting your heart and soul into this! Yaaaas! ❤️

[@ConvictionsRock]

❤🎉

[@tbzombi3950]

Really hope we get a song with all screams. Like what Wage War does every now and then. The cleans are nice, but this band does heavy exceptionally well

[@bradmc7756]

Please come to Australia next year!!!!

[@ColterRasmussen]

the lightning over the sea during I'll leave the old me behind is pure goosebump material

[@Iamdannyv17]

Next level ❤🔥 so happy this is finally out!

Let’s goooooo!

[@ChristianMetalHorde]

Greetings from the Netherlands. Really good song brothers in Christ. Just shared it on my channel.

[@tonybrawner7190]

What an amazing song! I know God has His hands on you guys and I will continue to pray for all of you. Glad you are back and killing it on another banger! Oh and that finally! Keep pressing forward and may Jesus continue to watch over you. I know He is.

[@TK14]

Just heard the song on Spotify, come on here to see the music video, and bam!, music video premiering in 30 seconds! The benefits of being in Australia! I love how you’re reusing band members and looking inside for further strength, improvement, and advancement! I love how the song still contains that same old “Convictions” voice as we hear all throughout your current discography, previously specifically through the backing vocals, since Danyal has left! Quinton taking over as the primary clean vocalist now provides that bit of nostalgia and “old-rootedness” (if that’s a word)! I love it! Quinton’s vocals are so clean, where Mike’s, as always, have such a wide range and are so heavy and instrumental is once again seriously crushing! There’s elements of deathcore in there (specifically the last half - quarter, primarily in specific instrumental sequences, namely drums and guitars, and Mike’s low and high screams - something I’ve never heard him get to that level of before!). This is just a straightforward example of how to write a perfect modern metalcore song! (Although, to be honest, the hook towards the end [2:48] caught me off guard, where I was predicting (as I’m so used to hearing this in modern metalcore) the breakdown to just go back into another chorus and the final chorus of which and then the outro of the song, but instead, Convictions CHANGED the structure up (😱!!!) and delivered a variation of the chorus as the final, transitioning into the outro crossed with a final breakdown!😍 Other bands out there, use this as a template! Love it! Keep bringing it!

@@ConvictionsRockI don’t know if you guys enjoy reading much, or read any self-help/psychology-subject books, but after reading, I want to offer you my gratitude and recommend with hope, the book titled “Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead” by psychologist Dr. Brené Brown. After being a fan of your music for quite some time now and reading your lyrics, this book confronts and assists in overcoming what I believe/interpret as some of the issues, topics, struggles, CONVICTIONS, etc. featured in your music. 🥰🙏❤️‍🔥

So glad to have new Convictions!!!

[@Hopium500]

Thankyou for this Guys. God bless you always 🙏 I'll be honest I shed a few tears reading those lyrics.

[@isaxcore8788]

As always, y'alls music touches and speaks to me in a very powerful way. I struggle to find words for how much I needed to hear this song, what with battling an addiction and feeling too far gone when I give in. I find that many Convictions songs are akin to the Psalms; each have a plea, a declaration, a desire to change or just make it through. This is one that is close to what I cry out to God in those moments. So once again, thank you for this gift, an absolute banger 💕🔥

[@jasoneasterling4520]

Awesome job guys

[@lofihour2506]

More HIGHS please 😉 you guys are awesome! Hoping to see you guys this upcoming uprise festival with my wife and friends. God bless!

[@brokenworship2105]

Holy shit! Im so proud of Convictions. They have gone through a lot of hardships as a band with losing original band members. What theu have gone through most bands would probably call it quits. But they are back and brought us a fucking masterpiece! Im so glad that i like the new cleans and i love this sound. And Mike gets better and better! This band is going places! Thank God for Convictions! And Convictions keep going strong for Christ! I can Not wait for a new album!
