Phinehas "Tetelestai" // Pastor Rob Reaction and Analysis

[@fishman245]

Lyrics: Oh how I long to see the end of every ending To breathe before my last and begin beginning Would You catch the wind with Your arm? Or lift my oceans with a heave? All hell sound your sirens Hold Your breath for three words conceived: It is finished Walking down the streets I watch You turn Your face from me They ripped the skin from my back dissecting eternity You clothed me in darkness given a rose but wearing the thorns instead My last breath I watch God hang His robes over the sun To hide a child becoming corruption Clean hands Eternity nailed to a tree How tired You must have been Clean hands From a garden to misery Bearing the weight of men Yet You raise Yourself higher to take Your last breath Demons pause with terror I am blood enough to never run dry still You despise me Sinking the spear in my side when You hung beside me on that day Cursing at the wind will not stop the message I send Clean hands Eternity nailed to a tree How tired You must have been Clean hands From a garden to misery Bearing the weight of men Yet You raise Yourself higher to take Your last breath (Bear witness once and for all) It is finished Would You catch the wind with Your arm? Or lift my oceans with a heave? All hell sound Your sirens Hold Your breath for three words conceived

So awesome, so metal. Biblical imagery is so much better than what the classics lumbered us with.

[@di9italdubster]

I attended BIOLA university with the members of Phinehas. I would go to their shows they would put on behind the dorms, and rock out all night long. They would put on more shows at local churches with their peers, and I would be there. I even interviewed the band, and wrote up an article for the BIOLA's newspaper. I was friends with their former drummer, Lee, and he even let me interview him when I had my own radio show for the university. Such cool dudes!

[@jakobfel2]

I didn't get to know them that way but I saw them for the first time at Creation Fest Northeast back in 2015, I got to chat with them and get a pic with the band. Then, a week later, my family and I went to see them again and they all recognized me despite only really hanging out for a few minutes at Creation. At every show since then, Sean and Lee both recognized me any time I was there. It honestly meant a lot that they made some random fan feel like we had been friends for years, they're very cool dudes!

[@paultfok]

What I wouldn't give to be at one of those shows again! That original line up put on such a fun show. I remember the bassist would be ruing around and jumping off everything he could, and Glenn and Scotty were just such cool guitarists! Haha I grew up in the area and played a bunch of shows with them. Man, I miss those days! Happy to see them at this level!

Have you ever did a reaction to Becoming the Archetype? If not, may I recommend their version of the hymn "How Great Thou Art"?

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

Their guitarist joined this band. Hopefully, they make a comeback eventually!

[@bigogre7186]

@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 I didn't know that. It would be nice if they had a reunion with the original vocalist/bassist too

I feel like HGTA is moreso meant to shock people who are expecting to hear an old timey hymn. I'd recommend something like Into Oblivion, Ex Nihilo, or End of the Age.

I saw them live once over here in Europe and it was an experience. Was amazing to have their positivity and spiritfilled message on stage next to other secular bands \m/

[@justinjohnson7953]

Great song! So excited for their upcoming album to be completed soon!

[@jameseustice8210]

Hey pastor rob you should react to Brian Head Welch he is the guitarist of Korn. The song is called WASHED BY BLOOD. He seeked out Christianity to recover from drug addiction the song is very heavy and lyrically deep

[@OtherwisePanic]

One of my top favorite bands! I love Phinehas, I wish they'd come to my state!

[@CandyOnAChopstick]

YES! This album is in my Top 3 Metalcore albums of all time and I don’t know what the other two are lol. Thanks for reacting!

[@doulostheou777]

Really enjoyed your reaction to this one. Been a huge fan of Phinehas since 2017 when I first heard Dark Flag, which is definitely worth checking out. "Hell Below" and "Dark Flag" are two great songs from that album. God bless!

Happy Resurrection Day! This was a perfect song for today...I love every reaction you do, but the Christian holidays are my favorite

[@aaronjumet4445]

Hey guys, another great video! I love the theological breakdown of lyrics that you do, I even use some of the information you provide in my college assignments. I’m going to Regent university so there’s a lot of Christian theology to go through and these videos have actually helped lol. It’s funny you said you hate to call this Sunday “Easter” due to the pagan background it has and called it resurrection day because I said the exact same thing this morning to friends/family. Going to leave my Architects Royal Beggars suggestion here again lol. Have a blessed day! 😀

[@GoldBrickProductions]

Yes please to "Royal Beggars"! It's come up many times with both Christian and non-Christian friends alike so I'd love to hear Pastor Rob's thoughts on it

[@brendensmith3764]

I opened for these guys back in 2018 with my old local band in Virginia. They’re just as good live as they are on record. You guys should check out their song, “Dyson Sphere.” That one features Garrett from Silent Planet.

[@EtherealLiz]

I have “can you even think of me without reducing me” on my left forearm. Favorite song by them.

[@jakobfel2]

Phinehas is my absolute favorite metalcore band of all time! Extremely deep, theologically-centered lyrics with creative, artistic and melodic songwriting. You can't go wrong with them haha As for me, I have a slightly opposite opinion from Gage, I find Thegodmachine to be their best (with Dark Flag, their most recent one, a close second) because it has a very artistic and progressive flow to it. Grace Disguised By Darkness all the way through to the final track, That I May Love You, feels like they wrote it all as one song and split it into several different tracks, akin to what a lot of progressive rock and metal bands do. Meanwhile, Till the End -- while still an awesome album -- is my least favorite of theirs. But hey, that's opinions for ya!

[@abzhgfhfg]

Death - Voice of the Soul You NEED to hear that, man

[@dustinlance6652]

A great reminder of the death and resurrection of Jesus during the Easter season. Their sound reminds me of In the Midst of Lions. I appreciated your reaction to Impending Doom's Murder do you mind reaching to their newer song "Everything's fake"? It's pretty during for this day and age. Blessings

[@menchisocrates1463]

That is very powerful and heavy

[@travtheday00]

Yes, it is finished! I love Phinehas!

[@nashcondiff6578]

[@thereachforme]

Great reaction as always! I'd like to see you guys do If they're not counted, count me out by Being As An Ocean. I think it could spark an interesting conversation!

[@ShivaX51]

First thought about the sinking spear is a reference to us all as sinners? The thief beside him, the soldier with his spear, everyone, we are all sinners.

[@Finalsuspect1468]

I never actually read the lyrics, those are absolutely beautifully written!

[@maxh4175]

I've listened to this album many times and I don't think I've ever really paid attention to the lyrics for this song, they write great stuff. I'd recommend checking out their song Dyson Sphere

[@danieleynon8157]

A fun old band that has disbanded (I think?) is Becoming the Archetype. Their last album (I Am) has a couple great songs -> the first 3 on the album. Mountain of Souls is great, as is Evil Unseen, Dichotomy, Artificial Immortality, and Ransom. Also maybe look at the celestial completion album for the songs elemental wrath and xenosynthesis (play these 2 back to back). Take a look, hopefully y'all like it. EDIT: I also just remembered Oh Sleeper. They have some great songs: Hush Yael, Endseekers, The Color Theft, The whole Titan EP. They are stellar.

[@izzysulli2229]

Love y'alls vids!

[@gabemelendez5601]

So much 🔥

[@wickedwitt04]

Would love to see you guys react to all three of Becoming the Archetype's "Requiem Aeternam" trilogy pieces as a whole. It's Pt1- Music of the Spheres, Pt 2- Elemental Wrath, Pt 3- Xenosynthesis.

You guys should do "God Went North" by Nothing More. It's about the lead singers mom who died of cancer. It's a song that means a lot to me, because my grandma died from brain tumours in 2014. I can't listen to the song anymore without breaking down and crying. I would absolutely love if you guys did that song, because it's an incredible song, and you can truly feel the emotion in it.
