The Christian Rock Recap is here to bring you the recent releases in the Christian rock and metal music genres. This includes both independent and signed bands—there's always something great in both. Be sure to check out the list below for more than just the personal highlights presented here. I hope you find a song that encourages you or a band to fall in love with. We have some amazing music to-be-released still for 2021. Stay tuned for those releases also.
War of Ages - "Sleight of Hand"
New War of Ages music is coming quickly. Two singles of been released since the last Christian Rock Recap: "No Altars" and "Sleight of Hand." Their new EP, Rhema, is releasing on October 29 with four songs. War of Ages is a staple in the Facedown Records family, being signed all the way in 2006. Their last record, Void, was a great metalcore album in 2019. Rhema will be a highlight for 2021.
The Letter Black - The Letter Black
Rockers The Letter Black has released their fourth studio album, The Letter Black, the first record under the Rockfest Records banner. The band brought in rapper Black Whiteley and Thousand Foot Krutch's lead singer, Trevor McNevan, to appear as guest vocals. The Letter Black has been given attention on SiriusXM Octane and Revolver Magazine as well as many Christian media outlets. Their new hard rock album is positive and passionate, so check it out.
Collapse//Revive- "The Fire Itself"
"Fill the air with the sound of praise." Michigan-based metalcore band Collapse//Revive releases one of the best singles of 2021 thus far: "Kairos." This band has seriously improved their craft over the last couple of years and is bringing their best. The intro is gripping, the lyrics are biblically-founded, and the sound is impressing both musically and vocally. It's always a pleasure to support independent bands who are making great music and Collapse//Revive is one of them.
