The transition is not merely stylistic or thematic but a profound spiritual and philosophical transformation that reflects the essence of the true gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. The rebirth of Abyssal Forest can be seen as a powerful metaphor: from the depths of the abyss to the redeeming light. Once known for lyrics exploring themes of misanthropy, nihilism, and spiritual darkness, the band now channels the same musical intensity to proclaim messages of hope and redemption through spiritual battles, renunciation, and salvation. Instead of chaos as the central focus, the band now celebrates the triumph of life over death and faith over despair.\r\n\r\nOn this new musical journey, Abyssal Forest retains its atmospheric sound, now with an even more predominant essence, featuring lyrical themes that reflect powerful biblical declarations of faith. The once desolate atmospheres now evoke the grandeur of the Eternal, His mysteries, revelations, and majesty.\r\n\r\nThe message of redemption and transformation was neither simple nor free of controversy. Many longtime fans see the change as a betrayal of what the band once represented, while new listeners view the group’s journey as a living testimony to the transformative power of faith in Christ Jesus. The band states that their goal is not to please everyone but to be authentic in their calling and purpose. In a recent statement, the founder declared: “What I do now is not just music; it is a mission. Before, we walked as blind men in darkness, seeking meaning in the void. Today, we see clearly: our sound is a sword, our message is light, and our battle is against the forces that keep souls in chains.”\r\n\r\nAnd so, the band moves forward in this new phase, carrying a sonic virtue anointed by Christ Jesus.","brand":"Soundmass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52205572325669,"sku":"0765464890603","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/1250\/3845\/files\/AbyssalForrest_3000x3000-scaled.jpg?v=1775791863"},{"product_id":"metanoia-don-t-walk-dead-re-issue-cd","title":"Metanoia - Don’t Walk Dead (re-issue) (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDon’t Walk Dead was the 2nd album from METANOIA, following on from In Darkness Or In Light (1995).

The future would see them as leaders, not followers, especially in the extreme metal scene, and they would go on to release 16 studio albums and multiple live albums. 1990’s “Break The Curse” was where all these release began… kinda.  “Break The Curse” was originally released independently as a 6 song Lightforce demo cassette – it wasn’t until 1994 that Nuclear Blast released this title under the Mortification moniker with other tracks from the original recording sessions. Musically, \"Break The Curse\" blends elements of thrash and death metal – a massive change from the heavy\/power metal of Lightforce – which led to their early slogan “Total thrashing death”. Think early Kreator, Destruction, Sodom. It’s raw, but the production is above par compared to most other demos from the era. We are also introduced to Steve Rowe’s guttural vocals for the first time, which were a perfect match to the ferocious music. This demo got Lightforce signed to Intense Records, they changed their name to Mortification and Christian death metal soon came to life!\r\n\r\nWith previous versions all sold out, Soundmass are pleased to re-issue “Break The Curse” in 2022. As a tribute to its first incarnation, we have created a modification of the original Lightforce demo cover to grace the front of this CD. Courtesy of Scott Waters (Ultimatum\/NoLifeTilMetal), you also get a brand new layout in a 12-page booklet with lyrics and photos. The audio has also been meticulously remastered by Paul D. Clifford (PCP Studios) for a superior listening experience. And if that wasn’t enough, we have made this a 2-CD edition with the 2nd disc – “Live 1990” – being the audio from their first ever concert as Mortification. It’s raw, but it’s a serious slab of history. Not only do you get a bunch of classic early songs, but there’s also a few mortified versions of Lightforce tracks. Do you need any more reasons to get this double CD? It’s history in the making!","brand":"Soundmass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52256287359269,"sku":"0728488043608","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/1250\/3845\/files\/Mort_BreakTheCurse_3000x3000-scaled.png?v=1776821819"},{"product_id":"mortification-envision-evangelene-live-without-fear-cd","title":"Mortification - EnVision EvAngelene\/Live Without Fear (CD)","description":"EnVision EvAngelene, their 6th studio recording, was the start of a new era for Mortification, having fulfilled their 5 album contract with Intense Records with 1995’s Primitive Rhythm Machine.

Joining Steve are two brand new members – Lincoln Bowen on guitar and the band’s former roadie Keith Bannister on drums. New members meant a new sound – an innovative hybrid of classic metal and thrash inspired by the likes of Iron Maiden and Manowar. This is most evident on the epic 19 minute title track – galloping bass, well executed drums and killer guitar riffs and solos unlike anything heard on previous Mort discs. For added value, we’ve also included 5 bonus tracks – quality live songs recorded during their 1996 US tour.\r\n\r\nLive Without Fear was recorded during the band’s 1996 Australian tour, supporting the release of EnVision EvAngeline.
