Overall: I Am Alpha And Omega has put out a powerful EP that accomplishes it’s purpose of building momentum for the forthcoming full-length release. Each and every show is viewed as a blessing from above and an opportunity to serve and share the true love of Jesus Christ.” I Am Alpha And Omega, formed in 2005, through prayer, realized a calling on the band from God to become a full-time, touring ministry. Here’s some extra insight from the band’s MySpace page: “I Am Alpha And Omega is a band of Christian brothers God has called to serve in any way possible, not just play music. All three songs were intensely good… but this one just burns a little brighter for me. Standout track was “And The Demons Will Sleep”. Check out “And The Stars Will Bleed Your Name” which ends the CD with the worship that spiritual victory births in the human heart… “It’s so cold and dark, and hell’s come to taketh away / So stand your ground, and start to pray / You are the One / You came and un-crowned King / You came for me / A Father for His family / You are the One / You’re over-whelming me / I bow my King / We are the, the Chosen Ones” The gospel served up on a battered metal platter. You better want it if you’re gonna tune in to this stuff, because you’ll get it. Lyrically, I Am Alpha And Omega doesn’t pull any punches. And given the fact that I’m using the word ‘diverse’ while talking about a three song EP, that’s saying something. Add to this an electronic vibe and some well-tailored keys and you have a surprisingly diverse feel to the music. He wails through the songs with a savage ferocity.
Somebody buy this guy a titanium foot pedal. The bass pounds out of the speakers and the drums… oh, the drums. The guitars churn and grind in nice stop-and-go cadence. Many times slipping into a more punk-ish hardcore delivery. Vocals are a mix of clean power and rough growls. The EP starts out with an almost industrial sound before quickly settling into some more upfront rock. Think Haste The Day meets Project 86, but with some true spiritual depth to their message. Playing an aggressive style of scream-core, if you will, they unashamedly put out the call to stand and fight the rising tides of spiritual evil confronting us. Far too archaic for our modern enlightenment.Įnter I Am Alpha And Omega. Sadly, spiritual warfare is a bygone notion to much of the church world today. Scripture describes God as a warrior that stirs His zeal… this is kinda like that… but for the saint.
Something that stirs the spirit and encourages the soul.
As the EP’s name implies, the songs found on this CD could rightly be considered spiritual warfare anthems. Their new three song EP, appropriately titled “The War I Wage EP”, is a teaser for the full-length CD release that’s in the works for later this year. I Am Alpha And Omega is a 5-piece hybrid hardcore band out of Milford, New Jersey. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high.
