Whole Other Level

Spryly bristled and fused in electronic rock music comes Worth Dying For’s follow-up album “Live Riot”, and as the title suggest in live version format. Based out of Calvary Temple Worship Center in Modesto,CA Worth Dying For not only delves into soothing ears, but awakens worshipers to arise and take action. The album is filled with highly energetic sounds and heart penetrating lyrics.
The first track Rebuild encompasses a powerful message that engraves the hearts of worshipers to “finish the race” by keeping their eyes upon Jesus (Hebrews 12:1-2). The anthems commence with the pumping Arise calling this generation to rise up against the strands of this world with God’s fire and power. The upbeat pop rock Never Look Back takes center stage urging to leave all burdens behind at the cross and instead focus on the incredible freedom found in the “Love that saved us”. The 80’s pop rock slat Freedom Rising is rightly place meditating on the freedom found in this awestruck Love. The thriving Love Riot is finely arrayed in techno and rock medley.
The first half tracks are highly energetic and gently strides towards the anthem driven Risen From the Grave and into the anointed Closer. Live Riot consists of 17 tracks, in which all titillate listeners and at the same time cause a “riot”. The “riot” calls believers to wake from the norm and take on the militia of love against the powers of darkness. Live Riot is spruced in intense sounds and words that connect to a loving God that empowers to rise up and change the world.
Closing Thoughts
Live Riot is not your typical “Praise & Worship” album, Worth Dying For takes modern worship music to a whole other level. Musically, it’s able to incorporate varying sound elements from heavy rock, electric pop to gentle worship tunes. Lyrically, it’s not only profound declarations of faith, but anthems that usher to the presence of the Throne, as well as activating believers to put on ammunition and activate as light.
