iTunes Review

From the start, Seventh Day Slumber’s music has been informed by frontman Joseph Rojas’ personal redemption from self-destruction. The Anthem of Angels continues the Christian rock combo’s shift toward worship music; this time there's an emphasis on original material over cover songs. As on earlier albums, Rojas frames the contrasts between sin and salvation in stark, life-or-death language. On tracks like “Addicted to My Pain,” “Wasted Love," and “My Life,” he alludes to his rescue from addiction in visceral terms while praising God for His compassion. His lyrics' inherent drama is underscored by Jeremy Holderfield’s aggressive lead guitar work, combining metallic ferocity with an instinct for melodic hooks. Rojas remains a compelling vocalist, at times approaching Third Day’s Mac Powell in rough-edged authority. The ballad side of the band’s music isn’t neglected, with “Back Where I Began,” “Never Too Far Gone," and a cover of John Mark McMillan’s “How He Loves” standing out for their uplifting intensity.

Some old style, Some new style...

I was originally attracted to SDS years ago. I loved the raw lyrics that I could relate to. While contemporary worship music has its place in our lives, I didn't want to rock out in the car to it and it doesn't really make me thing deeply. I was selfishly super bummed at SDS newer direction lately, but this album has a bit of both worlds. I particularly like the songs "Wasted LIfe, Addicted to My Pain," and "Pieces." Still trying to decide on "Crash" and "Never Too Far Gone." The other songs are good too if you like the more recents sounds of SDS.
