Prepare to embark on a journey through time with Fathers of Metal, an epic Christian metal album inspired by the Church Fathers who shaped the foundation of faith. Featuring powerful, theologically rich tracks dedicated to an Ode of Solomon (Ode no. 5 in the beginning), Clement I of Rome, Polycarp of Smyrna, Origen of Alexandria, Athanasius of Alexandria, John Chrysostom of Antioch, Ignatius of Antioch, Nicholas of Myra, Valentine of Rome, Augustine of Hippo, Thomas Aquinas, and Patrick of Ireland, this album combines blistering riffs and soaring vocals with the profound teachings and legacies of these ancient defenders of the faith. Each song tells their story, bringing their struggles, triumphs, and devotion to life through the might of metal. Whether you're a fan of history, theology, or heavy music, Fathers of Metal will inspire and energize your spirit. ✞️~✟️~✞️ *Each track has been prayed over for the sake of Christ's kingdom purpose to be fulfilled under the great commission (Matthew 28:16-20, Mark 16:15-18, Luke 24:44-49, John 20:19-23, & Acts 1:8). I, and fellow AI users serve our part in this great commission using the tools given to us to praise the name of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. If I am to abide by Christ's Words that, “it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person” (ESV, 2016, Mt 15:11) I must then strive to make art in such a way that does not be defiled. With the original Greek involved in uploading this video, I think of “κοινόωa; βεβηλόω (defile/koinoi): to cause something to become unclean, profane, or ritually unacceptable—‘to make unclean, to defile, to profane.“ (Louw, & Nida, 1996, Vol. 1, p. 535) Hence, as with any medium of art for a divine purpose, because it has been bathed in prayer, the work of my hand has only been the intention that the Lord's will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven (Mathew 6:10). May it never be that I make a video here to cause another to stumble intentionally or administer content without praying diligently! May God richly bless and keep you all, my beloved, remembering the saints who came before us, while taking in their many lessons never in vain. ~ Trevor C. 🎸 ✞️~✟️~✞️ 🎸 Subscribe to Martyrs & Metal for more Christian metal anthems that honor the heroes of the faith!
