I listen to almost exclusively Christian Metal. I discovered BTA just recently and gotta say, not only are other praising the Lord with music, they are also one of the most unique, progressive metal core bands in existence and I love this band! Instant top 3 if not the top.
@UndeniablyInsaneGuy I remember when I first discovered these guys, and listening to Terminate Damnation it took me like four months before I finally realized the absolute genius of the album through all its layers. Since then I have never had any complaint, and realized their level of musicianship requires much patience in listening in realizing how deep and amazing each song is, individually and collectively. Truly epic.
I think debates like the below comments are why no band should call themselves Christian metal. It only invites tired debate and takes the focus away from the quality of the music itself. This song is badass, love how the guitar and bass crunch around each other.
@ChristianMetal55 If you can listen to only one other song off of this album, I highly recommend you listen to Becoming the Archetype's "Breathing Light". That song alone makes the album worth buying!
Truth is absolute and the truth is there's nothing there. And Jesus wouldn't go around flipping pictures over to find hidden "evil" either. He has better things to do.
Hi there. That's a very good observation. Yes i can make out the Masonic compass and the all seeing eye. Also the hooded demon. Apart from that there are a lot more other faces in the 'Smoke'(pic upside down). See if you spot a face(maybe 2) on the right side of the ship in the smoke(pic upside down). Also another face on the left side of the same ship(between the flame and the ship). it looks like a skull face(somewhat like ghostrider's face). There are lots more hidden art..hmmm!
Whatever you wish to say man. You have your liberty on that. But I'll tell you, we can never have absolute liberty...even of thought, though we've been granted full freedom. Think about it. You may and most probably consider my say to be irrational and absurd at the moment but I'll leave that to time with a hope. My God maybe weak in your eyes but not and never in mine. "For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength"-1Cr 1:25
Come out of the deception my fellowman."Mouths so full of lies, tend to black your eyes"-Metallica(even they sang that!) Also what did you try searching for "Within"?!.. Truth is not within! It is 'Beyond'! You're empty and i can see that clearly. And within this realm of deception you feel to be complete.Seek the Truth and the Truth shall set you free.Not the lie which you believe is the truth. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge"-Proverbs 1:7
Hey, I live in Germany and am really debating whether I want to buy this album or not, but becuase of some retarded rule or something every other youtube video is banned so I can't listen to any other songs from the album. Is there a website with the full versions of a few of their songs from this album? Great Song!!!
+jugifu Logic escapes you i see, because through your reasoning, everything: symbols, pictures , logos, anything can be flipped and given the meaning you want to give it based on what you want to see, in other words, just because one day someone flipped the cross upside down now the cross itself automatically means unholiness, or do you not see yet where your logic fails? Flip the symbol and the inverted, and only the inverted symbol, will adopt the given or opposite meaning, now stop trying to corrupt something meant to enlighten with your failed logic.
There is no masonic compass. I compared both images several times and I only see a few small details that could be similar. But even that's negligible. How can you draw a being, wings and arms extended upward, any differently? You talk about other Christians, you're the one pulling an image apart in an attempt to find something wrong with it. Stop it. I think Jesus would look at you and say "Stop doing what you're doing. You're making me look worse than I already do."
Sorry, dude, I don't see it. The "Masonic Compass" is a very abstract symbol, that's just a coincidence. The members of Becoming the Archetype are big Christians, they view their music as a kind of ministry to the unsaved, and their vocalist even said, "If we are not making a difference for the Lord, then we are just out there making noise!" Heck, even this song is about the Second Coming of Christ.
Hey man there is a difference between religious Christianity and real Christianity. Real Christianity is not that judgmental, going to church every Sunday, have to do this, can't to that thing. Jesus did not come to earth to start a religious organization called Christianity, He came for the whole WORLD. If you can choose "Christianity" and then leave "Christianity" again, especially after 18 years, then you have not tasted the REAL thing yet. It's not a religious system with do's and do not's.
Flip the album cover upside down. Isiah 29:15-16 says woe to them that try to hide from the Lord...by turning things upside down (KJV). Do it and you will see a masonic compass with the all seeing eye at the peak. Above that is the earth with the north pole exploding into space and apparantly being sucked up by a hooded demon at the very top. Very evil indeed.

The Power of God resonates in the thunderous joy of the instruments and sends a great message to metal-lovers everywhere through the vox! :)

I hope whoever this finds understands this is a masterpiece of a song 🤘🤘
I remember riding around Appalachia Kentucky with this album playing when I was doing mission work there. Good times
i pray you’re well brother in christ. 🤍

The intro is just......epic. The only problem now, is that I'm left wondering what the rest of the album is going to be like.

@Cam70gimli I don't think there will be any this time around. their new guitarist does a lot of the cleans and the real high pitched screams.
Correct. Hopefully you will be one someday. It's a bad idea to reject it. He still loves you you know...
I'm a Christian and I like this Christian, Christian metal, with Christian influences from Christian Christians in Christian homes. Christ
Sick intro!

That intro.. Cry of the Oppressed by In The Midst Of Lions anyone?
Anyone know about guest vocals, will there be any?

If you're still contemplating it twelve years later, I'd say do it! Also may I just say German is such a beautiful language I'm learning it now!

And stop removing my comments! If it isnt true then you have nothing to hide! Flip the picture people. Judge for yourself.

Gerhard Nieuwoudt fully agreed
