STIGMATA
I walked across a desert of strife and despair.
Spent countless years afraid, choking on desperate prayers.
I’m breathing doubt and depression
Exhaling aggression.
I'm starving for salvation for a faithless world.
God, hear these words
Guide me through this wasteland.
Clear the dust from these eyes.
Provide a path.
Give me the strength to survive.
Stigmata!
His scars are the proof.
No matter what you say
His words are the truth.
Stigmata!
Push these nails through.
I sing for the Son. You're nothing but traitors.
You snakes will try to lock me up, mock these words, and feed the lies of the corrupt.
I won't deny my Father’s crown.
So you can crucify me upside down.
Crucify me upside down
I’ll die for my Father's crown!
Stigmata!
His scars are the proof.
No matter what you say, His words are the truth.
Stigmata!
Push these nails through.
I sing for the Son. You're nothing but traitors.
I lay my burdens at the tree. Only in death am I set free.
I’ve been through hell!
I’ll face the storm as the clouds build and rain over my head.
And the sands wash away into a sea of blood.
Cleanse me.
Cleanse me through tribulation.
Kingdom come!
Thy will be done.

One of my favorite bands, Peter asked to be crucified upside down as not to even die like his lord, how humble is that? Incredible.
YES!!!
You're telling me I can headbang AND worship my Father, Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ??? 🙌🏻 Ain't God so good??? Metal has been my first love and my comfort in music throughout the years. Overtime I have found Jesus and also simultaneously branched out to loving and enjoying other genres, but always come back to metal as my love. Discovering this & now having my both worlds collide... no words.
Yes! Have you checked out bands like Ninjaloot, Context, and Demon Hunter? Christ-centered, aggressive, worshipful, all the things!
You should try impending doom
For Today are GOAT for me
Phinehas is pretty good as well
Bloodline is another really good one that's a recent one I've found and they are really really good stuff
Aggressive worship! Makes my soul happy!
That line "I'll die for my father's crown " rattled my spine
"So you can crucify me upside down"
That's pretty neat. Peter is supposed to have said that when he was condemned to death by crucifixion, because he felt as though he did not deserve to die in the same manner as Christ did; that he deserved less dignity, so to speak. I love that it was included in the lyrics.
I... I am amazed to see such faithful lyrics with such actually genuine metal music. And to see the authenticity and balance of your songs. You're not afraid of the venomous doubt that poisons our blood and to be transparent about the unbearable darkness of this realm. And yet, in equal integrity, you cling to the truth of Christ and His cross. Unmatched, really. Simply unmatched.
This style has dozens of Christian bands
@@floralpatterns21 sweet! Can you comment some recommendations? :)
@Devil Bird imagine giving a shit about what other people believe in 2022.
you must be new here LOL many bands in this genre are just like this
1:30
"I won't deny my father's crown!
SO YOU CAN CRUCIFY ME UPSIDE DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Don't get me wrong, I Love this song, but this is the best part of the song.
Agreed one of my favorite parts that an the go from screaming to singing I also love the visuals man this song is so raw so dope an it makes me like them even more with recently learning more about the band just looking into them it has definitely helped my walk an it all started with me judging them an then feeling convicted ❤😂😢 because of the upside down cross I also appreciate the song price of grace alot as well it helps me get thru losing some one from suicide myself I love these guys
Yeah when I heard that I was thinking these guys may be the only Catholics on the scene
@@Faith_Of_The_First_OrderI think they’re orthodox
@@Stynkrat I thought they may be Catholic or Orthodox… until I heard the song “Hail Mary” the singer was apart of… then I said nope… only a Protestant would be on this track. Hopefully they don’t make that mistake again.
I am happy to see so much faith put into these lyrics. I will die for my fathers crown. Nothing can tear me away from my loving father. Gave his life for me, to live again. We love you Jesus. ❤️
There we go man! We need more heavy christian metal songs. The truth needs to be heard!
There’s millions of bands I can give you some recommendations if you’d like!
It’s how petter was executed
Praise our Lord and savior Jesus Christ!
Love this. Unapologetically heavy, unapologetically faithful. Hope your band continues to grow in the future.
THESE LYRICS THOUGH! ❤️
Ikr!
@@Metal777 We can relate to the lyrics.
@@HPTFan definitely
I'm not a Christian and I haven't been for a long time. I've got nothing but respect though for those who aren't afraid to openly share what they believe, especially in music. Metal/hardcore/metalcore or just heavy music in general is my favorite, so I appreciate it even more in heavy genres. That being said, don't be silenced by haters. You have just as much right to be open as anyone else does. Keep rocking!
You can always come back brother. There won’t be any resentment or I told you sos. God will come running to meet you.
As a Christian, iv been on a spiral of destruction. Been at war inside myself with the world. This song uplift me.
You guys are so awesome. To have lyrics like this in this genre is just an absolute game changer for Christians who enjoy heavy music. You are accomplishing the impossible for me and every other lost person listening to this by putting the words of Christ back into our ears. Amazing work!! God bless ☦️
Wow, powerful! And to think that various persons throughout history have been said to bear these very marks of Our Lord, and were allowed to share in His pain 🤯
INCREDIBLE. Such a powerful message in your voice and words Mike, and the rest of the band is in full beast mode.
Aggressive Worship forever!
Needed this today. Been hard to follow the Lord lately what with dealing with trauma processing, fear of going back to church, some kind of anxiety over my life in general, and overwhelming hopelessness. Been difficult to trust God lately, feeling like I'm blindly walking through the wastelands. Thanks for this lovely song. When those cleans hit... they hit me hard. Thank you for being a band that writes about real, relatable struggles. Not only that, but being a band that tries to point back to Jesus. I thank you for that, this was an AMAZING song 💙🖤 Thy will be done
I relate brother. Let’s pray for another. 🙏🏼
@@joshuaklee1771 For sure 🙏🏼
pray about strugles, believe fully without a tiniest doubt that God will deliver you, be patient (not our way and timing), pray and do all In Christ's Name
@@lb7625 Absolutely, thank you 🙏🏼
What you just wrote speaks the same volumes with me.
Just found out about these guys today. I have apparently been sleeping! Sick! Can we just talk about that "Crucify me upside down" followed by that break down and perfect *blegh* So great!
Absolutely blown away fellas, from everything, video production, audio production, lyrical direction, and overall performance, OUTSTANDING! Dakota also sounded sick in this track!
This is one of the only bands that gives me literal chills while listening to the lyrics and sound. This is the heaviest God centered band I can think of. These lyrics are always so powerful and I can relate to so much of these songs and man, this band is awesome.
This and for today but their no longer a band but still Christ centered
Agreed. I think Holyname and Bloodlines are the only two other christian bands that are heavy, djenty, and still truly worship at the same time 😉
might be the greatest thing i have ever stumbled across online. Hail Christ
BROOOOOOOO!!!!! Mike went off on that! Love how biblically accurate the lyrics are. This isn’t what I want, this is what I NEED RIGHT HERE!! Good job once again guys. If y’all get to a non bar venue close to my area at the right time, I’ll definitely try and make it out. Keep this killer stuff coming.
Ask your parents to come with you!
Agreed!
I clicked on this becuase of Dakota, but YOOOO where did this band come from???? Immediately adding to my playlist! 🔥
This band is absolute fire.
Dakota tiene banda???
This is why you guys became my favorite band. Solid biblical lyrics, killer music, and a great video to go along with it. You guys absolutely crushed it with this song. I can't wait for more from you guys! What a great worship song!
Absolute banger. Preachcore lives!
"SO YOU CAN CRUCIFY ME UPSIDE DOWN!!" 🤘🤘🔥🔥😍😍
That kingdom come, thy will be done at the end hits so hard
Mike taking the cleans at the start and absolutely demolishing the screams, progressing to Dakota's feature is awesome! I was really interested in how you guys (Convictions) would collaborate around Danyal's exit from the band, combining to form the clean vocals, if any, and who would perform them. It seems that was primarily solved with the feature. Haha. You really impressed me. Although the main part of the feature is only about 15-20 secs long, it severely impacts the song (in a positive way) and feels present for more than the amount of time it is actually there (approx. 15-20 secs) For once, the feature actually feels like it has a purpose. Dakota was NEEDED on this track!!! The drop at 2:38 is so disgustingly heavy and caught me by surprise, yet at the same time is so present. It definitely has a sense of beauty about it! The insanely high cleans from Dakota paired with Michael's screams at 2:52 is perfectly beautiful! By the time the song finished it felt like it was very short! Album coming soon? 👀
Still in the beginning stages of giving my life over to my Savior and your music helps me better understand my journey. Thank you, dudes. ❤️ keep making aggressive worship and spreading His word.
Much love and prayer your way, man! Can be insanely difficult in the beginning, but it's SO worth it, and agreed, VERY helpful having bands like these guys put out music like this that's relatable and points back to what matters most
This brings me back to the days of when Sleeping Giant was just throwing down spiritual music into the ring. When SG stopped Tommy said he wanted SG's content to be the floor not the ceiling, for other bands to build from. This feels like it just fits so perfectly to that legacy. I hope you guys keep throwing heavy worship out there like this.
Thanks for making music that helps me stay stronger in my faith blessings to you guys you all mean a lot to me
Thank you so much!
This band absolutely delivers every time. Discovered them with The Price of Grace and I always have at least one of their songs in my in repeat. This one's gonna be a great pr song thanks
Wow thes goes all in for Jesus giving God all the glory one day i hope I can glorify him like you do❤ please keep making such powerful spirit lead music 🔥
I love seeing the younger generation so spirit filled. I had to grow up with Christianity INC. and even our metal was watered down….. I truly believe there is an outpouring onto the earth in these last days.
One of my songs of the year right off the bat... THE best lyrics I've heard in a long time, REALLY creative stuff all throughout (love the change in pace at times and really cool production at the end), and just INCREDIBLE all around.
Agreed
Wow....i had no idea you guys were Christian. This is awesome, I love the lyrics, they are definitely needed in today's lost world. Keep up the good work in His name. I look forward to more from you guys. God Bless!
stigmata is not from God...
ABSURDLY FREAKING AWESOME! 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
Wooow What a text and emotional, crushing music 😇
You snakes will try to lock me up
Mock these words
And feed the lies of corrupt
I won't deny my Father’s crown
So you can crucify me upside down
A Holy spiritual fueled song beyond it's time and beyond this realm. These lyrics are of the Father and they just straight up sent quakes through the foundations of hell my brothers. ☝️
It is so time for christian artists to really embrace the name of Jesus, and the spirit of worship, instead of being nuanced and safe with their faith. You guys are giving glory to His name, and spitting gospel. And it is heavy, and doesnt hold back, and is not the lifeless, formulaic, mind numbing christian pop that we get on the radio. Thank you brothers, and bless you guys
I feel so good when it makes me as I was saying that this is more powerful to god of christian metal rock so I have faith and true about them!🙏🤘🔥✝️
Praise God!!
It's simply not that often that you come across a Christian band, that is so good that they don't have that canned, generic sound like a band that wants to add just enough Jesus to attract saved metalheads, but not so much that you risk losing secular fans. This is the "Skillet" of Metal and I'm loving it. In your face and unashamedly spreading the hope that comes with a relationship with Christ and cranking out solid bangers in the process. I'm a fan!
Good grief why have I not heard this before today?? That breakdown is INSANE!!!
Lyrics...FIRE, Music...FIRE, Mike's Beard...FIRE
Amen. I seriously can't express how these words make me feel considering my journey from church leader/ attender 4 days a week, to severe church trauma & struggling to walk into a church now. And my journey from Colorado to California has been hell. I never lost faith.. but I am in a dry and weary place
That's rough, dude, I'm so sorry to hear that. I'll pray for you 🙏🏼
I love when bands who claim ‘Christian’ actually live up to their claim. These lyrics cannot be interpreted in any other way, as some ‘Christian’ bands do. They have lyrics that could seem secular as well. There’s no need. Point to the Cross, and you can’t go wrong. Powerful song. Love it.
Slow claps so sick dude🖤🖤🖤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
This song gave a coworker of mine legit goosebumps. Keep changing lives bros!
honestly I love that bands are turning a genre stigmatized with Satan, into something beautiful. I mean that's what Christians always have done, take something broken and make it whole. it's absolutely amazing
amazing work convictions, your music reflects the love of christ
Taking what the enemy meant for evil and turning it for good 🔥
Fight fire with fire. Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.
LETS GOOO
man…. that growl and gesture combo!!!
Finally, some good worship music
This is just a dang powerful song
I see Dakota, i click...simple❤
God bless you guys.
holy fuck this was AMAZING so glad you got dakota on this track
Thank you guys for uplifting me. The spiritual war has never been stronger
IDK what to right. This song slaps. God bless
I came for Dakota, leaving a fan. Great job!!
Amazing music and lyrics got me head banging alone at midnight! Potential for song of the year for me
These guys and Holy Name
The first minute is just unbelievable atmosphere, heaviness, beat and vibe that surpasses any other release this year.
Rest of the song hits all the feels as it leads into the clean vocals.
Just a whole new level. That message too. I’m convicted.
God working through you guys big time.
Brutal praise.
This is absolutely killer! 🔥💯
I can’t wait to share the stage with you guys in Bradenton 5/23 🎸
Achei uma banda cristã com a mesma pegada de For Today uhull 🤘🏽
This is the elan vital guy who does kingdom hearts covers right? This track is too good!
That’s me!
@@dakotaalvarez8519 that is awesome! Great work on this track as well as the kh songs I love :D
How am I just now finding this? 🔥
I think I just found my new Christian Metal band! Bravo on a job well done. The song makes me think about God and I love that
You might also like Demon Hunter and Stryper.
Demon Hunter has more "subtle" messages about the Word of God, but the heaviness in their instrumentals are phenomenal. I recommend their songs "I Will Fail You" and "Thorns."
As for Stryper, they have more of a praise-centered approach to their music. Songs like "To Hell With The Devil," "Makes Me Want to Sing," and "Take It To The Cross" are the ones that stand out most when it comes to music about God's word and promises.
God bless you!
@hjm9571, yes I am familiar with both those bands. Love their stuff as well!
Omgggggg such a good combination with Dakota
So stoked! Cannot wait!! Great day to have a new Bush album and Convictions single! Who is the feature btw?
Dakota Alvarez of Hollow Front!
Will forever be my number 1 band. Every release is amazing from y’all. See you in Michigan 🤘🏻
you guys are awesome. i've been searching for biblically sound modern metalcore bands and you guys are by far the best i've heard yet.
I'm shocked a member of Hollow Front was involved this song after listening to their album. Love the lyrics but I'm overly perplexed that an open atheist would sing those lyrics.
Love it though. Good for Convictions coming out like this. Their EP was vague in their faith and didn't really openly dive into it. Great song.
Incredible song and feature🔥🖤🔥
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! i just met this band from instagram. Hi from Brazil
This song is amazing! As always the song lyrics are impeccable, Dakota is another level of beautiful clean vocal. Convictins never disappoints.
This absolutely brings me to my knees. Thank Jesus for your faith and sharing the talent and passions He gave you! This is holy 🔥.
And btw, this is the first metal christian song to bring tears to my eyes 🥹
1:37 Its Fire 🔥! God Bless You Guys
So thankful this was shared with me
Thank you CZcams, I've found you guys on the main page. I fell in love with your music when I've heard your new music video and one of your albums on Spotify. You guys are amazing 🤘🏽🤘🏽
You guys would have been enormous if you were around in the heyday, early 2000s. This would have actually put you guys closer to 2010 with your sounds, but metalcore was already dying out. Man, found you guys at the oh sleeper show in Denver and you guys were the best performance. Awesome music boys!
saw these guys live great show highly recommend
Love you boys! This is amazing and the lyrics hit so deep
Love from the 330 💜🔥🤘
brooooooo lets freaking go 🔥🔥🔥
Dude this is my favorite song so far along side last cell but this is absolutely amazing the lyrics are so powerful along the music bro this is a MASTERPIECE
Man this song is amazing. The lyrics are so powerful. It knew it was gonna be a banger you guys never miss.
So pumped for this record
Where have yall been all my life?? 😩
Yessir! Got chills, because the lyrics are hard and so is the faithfulness to Christ! Love it brothers. Too awesome.
Sometimes you just need to righteously rage. This life can be so hard and the devil is such a jehhsgdhdieksjshehhd.........i like having the typical worship music and i love christian RnB and afrobeats and i love this genre aswell. I was kinda sad when I first started moving away from secular music, that I'd have to say goodbye to heavy metal. But God answered my prayers. I felt hum calling me to listen to mysic that glorifies him. And I was annoyed. I didn't know there was a whole world of music that isnt your typical church mellow worship songs. I asked him to show me where these songs are because I couldn't maintain the OG church music. And he blew my mind. Praise God!
It's time for life-core music to rise. I hope this is the being.
AMEM. THIS IS EPIC.
Been listening to it pretty often since it came out, such an awesome song! Glad I started listening to you guys after seeing you at KCF over the summer.
Also, crazy to think that you all are from just a little over an hour away from where I live!
God bless you all, keep up the awesome work!
Dakota is so talented. Few as good at vocals or guitar.
Imagine the Convictions boyz rolling up to the show in an STI, G-wagon, and a MIATA to hype the single… maybe they could remove the “I” from the Miata badge. That’s a ticket straight to the big time.
