The upcoming album stands as a conceptual work, telling the story of the beginning of time to the end of time through the biblical perspective, told through first and third person narrations, exploring themes of creation, depravity, sacrifice, and redemption.
“The Promise” is an overview of multiple Old Testament themes and stories, where sin has ravaged humanity and creation cries out for a Savior. The visual is compiled of 7 old films: The Bible, In The Beginning (1966), L’Inferno (1911), The Ten Commandments (1923), Cabiria (1914), Haxan (1922), with select stills from The King of Kings (1927) and La Nativité (Short Film, 1910). Each portion of film is set to enhance the intention of the lyrics, showing the depths of depravity that strangled creation while awaiting for Jesus’s birth.
While we believe in pushing the limits of Christian art and media, we understand some viewers might find select sections of film unsettling or disturbing, and viewer discretion is encouraged.
LYRICS:
1 Aligned: flickered and fading out. We fell to our knees!
2 Like songs that echo free, raise a flame so high to part the sky, vanquishing out to astound how far we have fallen!
3 Can we be made new and pass away? To revive and renew...
4 The head of the house of the wicked, the keeper of Sodom below, flew through the air in his madness, claiming the world's every soul!
5 From fruit now comes slaughter, tearing the fabric of time. Like unholy water, spewed out onto dying vines.
6 How far gone is too far gone? How far gone is too far...
7 Can we be made new and pass away? To revive and renew...
8 Horror from such blind creation, a people adorning great evil! Woe to Gomorrah, terror of Babel; adulterous bride.
9 Under the spell of a harrowing captor, embracing the plunge into self indulgent rot. Begging for mercy with atonements of vanity will never suffice to atone for abusing dominion!
10 ... Into the void!
11 The crowns of our strongholds become the very gods we indulge. Humanity falls at the feet of madness and deceit. Given up in the lust of their hearts to impurity.
12 Stained and depraved. Satiating cravings of flesh, made slaves of all they wallow!
13 Faint of heart and heads in sickness. Void of all soundness, all estranged. Vain oblations, utter waste. Abominations desolate!
14 Sold under sin, carnality dwelleth. A mind and conscience perverse, dead in trespasses. Melting in the hands of their iniquities, forever unfit to atone!
15 Insufficient, unable to cleanse. These slaughters cannot make us whole! Earth groans in separation, thirsting for a savior.
16 A kingdom of desecration, going forth in transgression. Rejecting heaven in exchange for rebellion!
17 Now! Mercy from the mouth of Zion, sent whispers echoed through the ages! Fulfillment of law, set into motion what prophets divined!
18 The rival of nations, of kings and their kingdoms, the violence of Molech, the power of Ra. Destroyer of Dagon, ravager to Legion. A Lion from Judea foretold to absolve!
19 Destitute, the wages of apostasy paid in full, in ashes we reap what we have sown. Fulfillment can't be found in the idols we've created. We're yearning for salvation, for on our own there is no way out!

Truly a masterful song, I can't believe they managed to top "Magnify" in my mind this album could likely take a run for AOTY in 2025! sharing my reaction soon!

The music and growling is awesome, but the clean vocals need to go. Kills the vibe.
