Hey rockers and welcome to this week’s rock news roundup! Check below to see what your favorite rock artists are up to this week.
Behold The Beloved just announced that Sean Green (lead singer) and his wife Kelly Green (band manager) are starting a record label called “Eternal Echoes“. Check out this video explanation from Sean here! Congratulations guys, this is awesome news!
Heal The Hurt has officially dropped their debut self-titled EP! Check out the press release for more info on that here. Then check out the youtube playlist below or go to your favorite streaming platform to hear the EP now! The first song on the EP, “S.O.S. (Suffocating on Sorrow)” is a tie for my personal favorite, as it has an awesome mixture of soft and harsh music/vocals with a focus on calling out to God at the end of the song. I also love how they incorporated the use of their band name within the song.
The other song that is tied for first and I relate to the most is “Alone”. It’s easy to feel defeated and like you will always be stuck in the same situation and place forever while having a huge sense of aloneness. The rest of the EP is hard to pinpoint a ranking as they each have an essential message that so many of us can relate to; Depression and other mental health struggles, broken relationships, feelings of being betrayed, etc. Overall, this EP is important to this generation where so many people can feel seen and heard in their innermost being.
Divided Me just dropped their single “Take Me Back”, and it’s such a banger! It is full of such deep, convicting, and relatable lyrics. Here is just a portion of said lyrics. “take off your insecurities, And bring back missed opportunities. Don’t lose sight of your life’s why. Lift your head up high”. This song reminds me of how my younger self was focused solely on God. As an adult my anxiety, depression, and insecurities have led to some not so great life experiences and I have not always done what God would have of me. It’s so important to remember the “why” of your life. Why are you here? Why are you on this earth, in this time, in this space? Because God created you here and now. He made you unique with a purpose only you can fulfill. You are not here by chance or accident. Don’t let the world or your inner thoughts tell you otherwise. Watch the “Take Me Back” music video below!
