WORSHIP SUNDAY: The Narrow Door by Awaken - The current state of the Christian hard rock/metal scene is pretty derivative. However, this says a lot about how far Christian rock has moved in the past decade that we could get to a point where there is enough bands making enough music that it starts to meld. Never before could I recall such a bounty of decent material.
Every once in a while however, a small indie band will catch my ear. I have been listening to Awaken’s album Broken Circle since its release in September and I am mildly impressed. There is nothing earth shattering here, but it is a solid effort, some nice hooks, and a talented singer. Their lead off song, The Narrow Door, is a strong start in setting up an album that at times toes straight up metal with techno elements.
