Christian metal band The Persuaded has released a brand new music video for their song "Forced Silence." This song is off of their debut album, Dawn of Destruction. The video features performances from the band members and offers an introspective theme of a hostage not giving up during an intense interrogation. It perfectly captures the theme found within the song, with back and forth lyricism along with the aggressiveness of the music. The chorus sings:

"Bow down these words we say are not in vain
We will not hide or be contained
This is my world and we will fall If we do not unite as one
I will change this world and not be silenced"

The Persuaded is one of the first bands signed with Rockfest Records, a Nashville Label Group imprint helmed by Joseph Rojas. Rojas is founding member of Dove Award-winning Christian rock band Seventh Day Slumber and creator of the City RockFest Tour. The Persuaded offers some of the heaviest music on the label, combining faith-based lyrics with their own Tennessee grit.
