Impending Doom | Track By Track
Answers By: Brook Reeves, lead vocals of Impending Doom

o one can say it like the mind that conceived it. The following is a “Track By Track Analysis” of Impending Doom’s July 20th release of There Will Be Violence by Brook Reeves. There Will Be Violence is available in stores and and online everywhere, so be sure to pick up a copy if you haven’t yet!

“There Will be Violence”- is a sort of pre-what-is-to-come song that I’m screaming to this generation. As Christians on this earth we should proclaim our faith boldly no matter what, and after we are either martyred or raptured we will come back and conquer what’s left.

“Orphans”- this song goes out to the castaway children and to the ones that this world deems unworthy of love. God’s heart is for those who are broken and for those who want to be restored. “Orphans come home the kingdom is yours.”

“The Peace Illusion”- is a song that claims true peace will never come from government, armies, religious views or any political system. Jesus Christ is peace and we won’t know what it truly is until we are fully in His presence.

“The Great Fear”- death comes for us all. For unbelievers and believers, but as Christians we know that as soon as we “die” we are in the place of God. People who reject God their whole lives will be eternally separated from Him.

“Walking Through Fire”- is basically me going through life, being tempted, going through trials, getting beaten down, all to allow God to mold me into the man who will fight for His kingdom. “We are the sound of Heaven, we are the voice of war”

“Love Has Risen”- is an instrumental. But I hope it gives you the sense that if you feel no one in this world loves you, Jesus Christ died to prove His love for you.

”The Son is Mine”- is my confession that I am a screwed up man, but no matter how many times I fall down or how much I fail, God and His unconditional love is always holding out His hand to pick me up.

“Children of Wrath”- is how believers and unbelievers set their standard to a group of rules and rely more on their own works than God’s mercy and grace. He’s the perfect dad. He knows you’re going to mess up. He wants you to depend on Him. Not yourself. Because “we were never meant to save ourselves”

“Sweating Blood”- Christians will be persecuted especially as we near the end. It is an encouragement to those getting beaten and mocked for their faith to remain faithful, for this is our time of glory.
