This begins with a haunting one minute track that declares the message of Acts 20:24, claiming that “Without Jesus / I am nothing, I am nothing.” The entire album follows suit, lyrics easily translating into pure worship set to the backdrop of pounding metalcore. From the second track “I Am Nothing” to the last “Prayer for the Dying”, Of the Son produces ridiculously catchy melodies against brutal beats, comprising an epic sound that is all too hard to resist. Combine this with the spiritual encouragement that saturates each song and you will find it hard not to fall in love with this album.
Ratings – Doug Van Pelt 3/5, Tiffany Chow 3/5
