The Crawlspace,
Industrial metal band Brain Matter has unleashed the official lyric video for their newest single "The Confession" (which can be seen below the details).
Based on the Bible verse Romans 10:9 "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.", Bassist Kristeffor Olson penned the simple yet powerful lyrics, stating
"Over the last 35 plus years of listening to Christian Metal, I couldn't recall many, if any songs written based off of Romans 10:9, which lays out the schematics to spiritual rebirth and salvation, through faith and the importance of an audible confession in Christ. I'm sure there are probably some out there, but I thought we should have one."
Seth Metoyer wrote the original music and handled the vocals and programming on the track. When asked what his approach to the song was, Metoyer responded,
"Initially this was going to be a heavy in-your-face tune with a lot of yelling and guitar chugs. But for some reason as I was writing the music, I kept thinking about how the scripture verse I Kings 19:12 'and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire, and after the fire a still small voice', and I couldn't get it out of my head. Then I thought, what if we went a completely opposite direction with the song and whisper most of the lyrics and also exclude all guitars. I think the result ended up sounding pretty cool."
Brain Matter is a side project of Metoyer and Olson's extreme metal band "Mangled Carpenter".
