Their five-track EP, <em>World War Me<\/em>, serves as a prelude to their upcoming full-length record, <em>Escape the Void<\/em>. It highlights an effort to push their fusion abilities further while ambitiously exploring the themes of spiritual warfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pair make an honest attempt to shed light on inner struggle, truth, and hope. Guitar-forward tracks like \u201cToils &amp; Tares,\u201d \u201cShame In Flesh,\u201d and \u201cThe Void\u201d are punchy, straightforward compositions that tackle these complex topics. &nbsp;The highly processed, speak-sing style of vocals are unpolished and are used to aggressively convey the duo\u2019s earnest intent to grapple with the themes they address. The production quality and arrangements lean toward a rough-hewn, early stage approach, yet the band\u2019s commitment and effort behind it is clear.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EP closes with the number, \u201cTears,\u201d a longer and more pensive track that conveys a heartfelt plea to the Lord. It closes the release on a hopeful, God-centered note. Throughout the EP, the guitar work shows ambition, with big riffs reminiscent of early 90\u2019s rock and occasional synth touches that try to add atmosphere. However, while the EP reflects clear effort and intention, the songs often fall short of fully connecting or standing out musically. Still, the sincerity, drive, and message behind the project comes through, making <em>World War Me<\/em> feel more like an honest expression of faith and struggle than a fully realized musical statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 out of 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For streaming and downloading, check out the band&#8217;s Spotify profile:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: World War Me\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay;

I\u2019ve spent years behind the mic, behind the pen, and in the crowd, working in radio, writing for multiple media outlets, and attending hundreds of shows, always drawn to the intensity and authenticity that heavy music delivers. God first called me to Himself as a child, and after years of wandering, He reminded me that He is the One who \u201cleads out the prisoners with singing\u201d (Psalm 68:6) and has truly put a new song in my mouth (Psalm 40:3). Today, alongside my work as a librarian and educator, I\u2019m passionate about supporting artists and writing about the music that continues to shape my life and faith.","url":"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/index.php\/author\/ragin-rosie\/"}]}},"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GB-WWMe-scaled.jpg",2560,2560,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GB-WWMe-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GB-WWMe-300x300.jpg",300,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GB-WWMe-768x768.jpg",640,640,true],"large":["https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GB-WWMe-1024x1024.jpg",640,640,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GB-WWMe-1536x1536.jpg",1536,1536,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GB-WWMe-2048x2048.jpg",2048,2048,true],"covernews-slider-full":["https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GB-WWMe-1536x1020.jpg",1536,1020,true],"covernews-slider-center":["https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GB-WWMe-936x897.jpg",936,897,true],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GB-WWMe-1024x1024.jpg",1024,1024,true],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GB-WWMe-720x380.jpg",720,380,true],"covernews-medium-square":["https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GB-WWMe-675x450.jpg",675,450,true]},"author_info":{"info":["Ragin Rosie"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/index.php\/category\/review\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Review<\/a>","tag_info":"Review","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17348"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17348\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17366,"href":"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17348\/revisions\/17366"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17349"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17348"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
