Coming out on January 26, 2026, is Ignescent\u2019s newest song called \u201cChariot of Fire\u201d co-written with Sevendust\u2019s Clint Lowery. Lowery has recently become a Christian, and when Jennifer reached out to see if he would be interested in a collaboration, he agreed. Both Jennifer and Clint sing on the track, and don\u2019t miss out on the video that will be released the same day. You can find it through Frontiers Music Srl<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I asked Jennifer why this song is important, and her response is powerful and relatable. She states, \u201cThe song is important because it’s about many situations I have been in that God has rescued me from. I was mentally abused by my ex-husband who was a police officer\u2014who told me I couldn’t start a band and even forced me and my daughter out of our home. He had lied about me and put a restraining order on me so we couldn’t live in the house I helped buy. I discovered he was unfaithful. That moment became a turning point, and God did many amazing things and miracles during that time in my life. I moved back in with my parents and finally stepped into the calling God placed on my life by starting Ignescent. Ignescent drummer, Kohl, was a drug addict and served time in jail. He gave his life to Jesus in 2021 and God changed his life. God has rescued us in so many situations. I want everyone to know He loves them and is there for them.\u201d The heart behind this song is that all who are facing trials and hard times will continue to find hope in God\u2019s love for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe vision for the band is to be a light in a dark world and to be more than a band. We want to love and encourage people that are struggling and hurt and let them know about God’s love for them,\u201d says Jennifer. Humor is always helpful in healing and with band shenanigans, there is no shortage of laughs. \u201cWe were on tour driving through Wisconsin and a Mayfly hit our windshield. Mikey was like that stinks and then, a few seconds after that, a whole swarm of them hit and covered the whole trailer, car, and windshield. Mikey was driving and the look on his face was priceless. He’s like that never happened before. It just kind of happened out of the blue and was hilarious and unexpected. I laughed for a week because of the look of shock on his face.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Being a woman in a male dominated world like Christian metal has its challenges. As much as we would like to think being led by the term \u201cChristian\u201d would neutralize the negative experiences, it doesn\u2019t. The only way we can make a change is to be aware, and be self aware, and make an impact in our sphere. I appreciate these powerhouse women being willing to share their experiences. I asked Jennifer what challenges she has experienced within the scene, and I hope that her answer will spark you to pray for the scene and the hearts within it. She says, \u201cYes. Many. It’s a boys’ club. Bands are not wanting to do shows with us because we are female led or certain churches and people have said some nasty things to me. Some think females shouldn’t be doing rock or metal, which is pretty shocking considering we are in 2026. Though we have met some amazing people as well who are extremely encouraging and supportive.\u201d Her answer to how can we resolve this is gracious and powerful, and most of all true. She says, \u201cThe only solution is to work harder and don’t let it discourage you. Pray and trust God for help, for guidance, and for Him to defend you.\u201d Indeed Jennifer! Thank you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ingestent-bryce-battle-photo-820x1024.jpg\")
