Veteran Christian Rock band Spoken has started a Kickstarter campaign to fund a new album set to release in 2015.  After 4 days of the campaign, they are already over 50% funded. The band says they will be releasing a single to radio shortly.  Presumably the song "Breathe Again".  Here is the video for that song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vpADDFioXs&feature=youtu.be

Project 86's new album "Knives To The Future" releases today. 

This work tells a 12-song narrative that picks up where Wait for the Siren left off. While WFTS explores the motivation to fight and give your life for truth, Knives takes a look at the moments after the battle.  More specifically, this album looks at one soldier who has just emerged from unconsciousness and finds himself on a frozen, haunted battlefield.  Souls part with bodies all around him, and he has no recollection of his past, who he is, or whether he is alive or dead.  All he knows is that he sees a light up ahead atop a mountain, and he must run to it to find answers.  The album follows him through apocalyptic landscapes and vivid memories as he searches for the truth about who he is and his destiny.  This journey is best experienced alongside the epic illustration by Dan Mumford contained in the CD package…

The Wedding's video for "In The End" is a lot of fun and full of high energy.  Headbanging, stage-diving, cymbals on fire, and the guys taking a motorcycle ride in the desert.  Here is the link:  http://www.vevo.com/watch/the-wedding/in-the-end/USUV71301347?source=instantsearch  The song has been through some heavy-duty Blasting.  It is in heavy rotation on The Blast.
