Voluntary Mortification

After His bloody death, Jesus Himself descended into the depths of Hell, and that’s where we bring our message of hope — into the hell of suffering, confusion, and fear experienced by too many in this world. Our desire is to be a light in the darkness for those who are broken and hurting in the metal scene.  

Jesus said to go to all the ends of the earth to proclaim His message. We’re taking that message right into the pit; not just into the mosh pit, but into the pit of darkness and evil that runs rampant in our world and within people seeking an escape. Each of us in the band knows we are broken and are sinners, but through our own sufferings, we’ve found faith and want to share that with our brother and sister metalhead.  

We feel called to create not only music to break faces, but break people’s souls; break down the walls we put up and let in someone better: Jesus Christ.  

Voluntary Mortification sums up the call of the Christian life: to voluntarily lay down our lives for one another and deny our very selves and our desires. We believe the idea of dying to yourself is pretty extreme - just like the very music we listen to and create.
