    The song is basically an analogy between salvation and Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave”. Steve Cobucci describes it on Instagram as a metaphor of how he came to faith. It’s a beautiful and deep song, just like WATG’s entire collection. Thanks for doing this one!

    I wish I could like this twice. Wolves at the Gate is my all-time favorite band, largely because their music is so blatantly Christian. They're just using their talent to glorify God. I love that! Thanks, guys, for a wonderful analysis. If you (Pastor Rob and Gauge or the reader) haven't, check out their song The Cure. Absolute fire! 🔥

    The best thing about WATG ever since I found the band close to 10 years ago is they have one consistent theme: No matter who, what, how you have come and become, you can come to Christ. As in this song, there are darkness but when you come to Christ, no one can ever forget that brilliant infinite that swallowed up the night.
    Edit: You never mentioned that "someone" who mentioned how "Father's Bargain" is based on work by John Flavel is Steven Cobucci himself, the clean vocalist of WATG 🤣🤣

    WATG doesn’t disappoint.
    I’d like to recommend a band I feel is criminally underrated: Hope For The Dying. I’m so torn on which song to suggest, though. They have a song called In Isolation that’s essentially that Footprints poem set to metal, but perhaps thats too easy to analyze given its popularity, even if the lyrics are their own version of it. Nacissus is a banger along with the track that it flows so nicely into, Nemesis (Jason Wisdom of Death Therapy does guest vocals on Nemesis). The Awakening is really good, but I feel it wouldn’t do it justice to not include the two other tracks that go with it, The Awakening: Dissimulation and The Awakening: The Veil Lifted. Without spanning multiple songs, one of my favorite songs lyrically is Orison. Transcend is so good musically and has a nice mix of clean vocals in it. I say if you’re willing to review 3 songs at once, The Awakening songs are my recommendation, otherwise maybe start with Transcend.

    I love channels like this. As an atheist, this opens extremely positive discourse between our very different communities. And as far as I'm concerned, you're just a good dude. Granted most religious people are generally good people even if I don't agree with some things they believe. You use your platform in a positive way when compared to other religious youtubers, and I applaud you for that. This is a good way to reduce the amount of animosity felt between our groups, and this is a positive way to find a middle ground between us. Keep doing what you do and I'll keep enjoying your content.

    from one of your followers from the Netherlands: I would highly recommend the Band Narnia and their latest song A Crack in the Sky. These guys are there already for 25 years and legendary on stage. They belong to those rare metal missionaries and have great music and lyrics to share.
