Disciple has released their first new music in over three years with “The Executioner.” The brutally heavy track is now streaming everywhere at https://ffm.bio/disciple. “The Executioner” is the first single from Skeleton Psalms, the band’s upcoming full-length album, due out from Tooth & Nail Records on April 28.

The mainstay rockers also released a music video for “The Executioner,” directed by Joel Burris. With visuals as bleak as the song’s crushing riffs and stark lyrics, the music video provides insight into the song’s themes. You can watch the video below.

“The song is about coming to grips with your flaws, your failures, your shame, your sin,” frontman Kevin Young explains. It’s realizing that no, I don’t want to celebrate anything about what I’ve done in this life. I want to lay my life down in exchange for a better one that God has for me.”

In that context, the executioner is an emissary of a merciful death: the death to self that leads to resurrection.

Young says, “We wanted to do a video that had an executioner in it, a video about really coming to grips with letting go of your life. I think that’s the part of Christianity that’s so beautiful. You get to this place where you’re ready to let go of all that you’ve had, ready to surrender and give yourself to God. We’re always ready to receive from Him. But the moment when we’re ready to surrender everything to Him, that’s the death to ourselves. The idea of laying down my life becomes this beautiful idea, as opposed to a dark and sinister idea. I sing ‘my beautiful executioner.’ This is what I want.”

That concept is illustrated by a death row storyline that leads to a dark end — and a new beginning.

“The Executioner” delivers the signature musical ferocity and spiritual weight that listeners have come to expect from Kevin Young (vocals), Josiah Prince (guitar), Joey West (drums) and Andrew Stanton (guitar). It’s a trademark that carries throughout the songs that comprise Skeleton Psalms, which will be Disciple’s 13th full-length studio album. Thematically, “The Executioner” is the perfect introduction to this new era.

“The three themes you can expect from the album are human depravity, the love, mercy and unconditional love of God and also, ultimately, victory,” Kevin Young reveals.

Fans were introduced to “The Executioner” the same day that Disciple embarked on Winter Jam, the annual 40 city Christian music megatour that will span coast to coast between now and the end of March. A full list of tour dates is available at disciplerocks.com/tour. The band is also offering exclusive Tour Bus Experience packages for Winter Jam’s duration, which can be purchased at tourbusexperience.eventbrite.com.

You can find “The Executioner” on all platforms at  https://ffm.bio/disciple, where Skeleton Psalms will also be available to presave.

LEELAND introduce ‘You’re Not Done’, the fourth single from their 2023 album ‘City of God’. The newest song from the Texas-based band is deep in compassion and in hope, filled with the resurrection power of Christ.

‘You’re Not Done’ is driven by defining lyrics: “If you still have breath in your lungs, you’re not done […]” These words dropped into lead singer Leeland Mooring’s lap as he sat at his piano, processing the recent miraculous recovery of a close friend who fought for his life during the pandemic.

As this person was slipping in and out of consciousness, they recalled hearing Leeland’s voice singing assuming someone had one of the band’s CD’s playing though they never were. “I was overwhelmed by the goodness of God and the real struggle we face in the midst of death,”

Leeland comments. ‘You’re Not Done’ doesn’t deny the sorrow and suffering of the human experience, but meets it with the presence of the Author of life. LEELAND’s new catchy single screams hope in the face of defeat, reminding the listener that each breath we are given is proof of God’s good plan of redemption.

‘You’re Not Done’ is an expansive track with slight country-pop accents and an overall sense of healing truth being sung over the Church. “It’s simple, if you are breathing, you are not finished,” LEELAND conclude, “may we be able to say like [the apostle] Paul that to live is Christ and to die is gain.”

“You’re Not Done” is available now.

‘Fighting For My Heart’ is the debut single from Songs From The Soil, a growing community of UK worship artists and songwriters.

The new song, led by Philippa Hanna and Noel Robinson, was originally written by KXC’s Rich di Castiglione and LA-based songwriter Jordan Frye for those wrestling with issues of self-hatred and self-harm, although it has become an anthem of hope to many others too.

‘Fighting For My Heart’ is based on the closing verses in Romans 8, exhorting God’s people and celebrating how nothing can separate us from the love of God – not even our own brokenness. In the chorus, echoes of Psalms 139 and 23 highlight the liturgical thread running through ‘Fighting For My Heart’.

“We pray that this song can become an anthem of hope and a song of deliverance for all who have no hope left for themselves,” says Rich di Castiglione. ‘Fighting For My Heart’ introduces the stripped-back, communal, and deeply honest feel that captures what Songs From The Soil is all about.

“Fighting For My Heart” is available now.
