  • Mediator Volume 3 Issue 1 October 2001
    A VERY LOUD QUIET TIME A Review of SONICFLOOd by Stephen J. Bennett SONICFLOOd is a contemporary Christian band which has released one album (self-titled, by Gotee Records in 1999). The band, based in Nashville, is made up of four members: Jeff Deyo, Jason Halbert, Dwayne Laring, and Aaron Blanton.1 Their music is alternative rock with a liberal dose of strings (violins, etc.). The music is definitely guitar-driven and is often more of a “super-sonic deluge” than merely a “sonic flood.” Their album is, however, designed as a praise and worship album with the result of, as one member of the band put it, a very loud quiet time. “Sonicflood” is defined on their website as follows: SONICFLOOd (‘so-nik ‘flud): noun- 1. refers to the cleansing flood that God washes over us as He gets rid of the old in us and creates the new; 2. modern rock praise and worship band on Gotee Records, continuing to remain on the cutting edge of the youth praise and worship movement in the United States.2 The name of the band comes from Revelation 19:6 which refers to the praise of a multitude which sounded “like the roar of rushing waters 1The lineup has changed since their album was recorded (see http://www.sonicflood.com) but the original members were scheduled to release a new album. 2http://www.sonicflood.com/textonly.html#bio 148 Reviews 149 and like loud peals of thunder”3 (NIV). The writer of these words was no doubt familiar with the Hebrew word for “multitude,” which is also used for the roaring or raging of the sea.

  • Christian Rock Concerts As a Meeting Between Religion and Popular Culture
    ANDREAS HAGER Christian Rock Concerts as a Meeting between Religion and Popular Culture Introduction Different forms of artistic expression play a vital role in religious practices of the most diverse traditions. One very important such expression is music. This paper deals with a contemporary form of religious music, Christian rock. Rock or popular music has been used within Christianity as a means for evangelization and worship since the end of the 1960s.1 The genre of "contemporary Christian music", or Christian rock, stands by definition with one foot in established institutional (in practicality often evangelical) Christianity, and the other in the commercial rock music industry. The subject of this paper is to study how this intermediate position is manifested and negotiated in Christian rock concerts. Such a performance of Christian rock music is here assumed to be both a rock concert and a religious service. The paper will examine how this duality is expressed in practices at Christian rock concerts. The research context of the study is, on the one hand, the sociology of religion, and on the other, the small but growing field of the study of religion and popular culture. The sociology of religion discusses the role and posi- tion of religion in contemporary society and culture. The duality of Chris- tian rock and Christian rock concerts, being part of both a traditional religion and a modern medium and business, is understood here as a concrete exam- ple of the relation of religion to modern society. The study of the relations between religion and popular culture seems to have been a latent field within research on religion at least since the 1970s, when the possibility of the research topic was suggested in a pioneer volume by John Nelson (1976).

  • An Examination of Contemporary Christian Music Success Within Mainstream Rock and Country Billboard Charts Megan Marie Carlan
    Pace University DigitalCommons@Pace Honors College Theses Pforzheimer Honors College 8-21-2019 An Examination of Contemporary Christian Music Success Within Mainstream Rock and Country Billboard Charts Megan Marie Carlan Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.pace.edu/honorscollege_theses Part of the Music Business Commons An Examination of Contemporary Christian Music Success Within Mainstream Rock and Country Billboard Charts By Megan Marie Carlan Arts and Entertainment Management Dr. Theresa Lant Lubin School of Business August 21, 2019 Abstract Ranging from inspirational songs void of theological language to worship music imbued with overt religious messages, Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) has a long history of being ill-defined. Due to the genre’s flexible nature, many Christian artists over the years have used vague imagery and secular lyrical content to find favor among mainstream outlets. This study examined the most recent ten-year period of CCM to determine its ability to cross over into the mainstream music scene, while also assessing the impact of its lyrical content and genre on the probability of reaching such mainstream success. For the years 2008-2018, Billboard data were collected for every Christian song on the Hot 100, Hot Rock Songs, or Hot Country Songs in order to detect any noticeable trend regarding the rise or fall of CCM; each song then was coded for theological language. No obvious trend emerged regarding the mainstream success of CCM as a whole, but the genre of Rock was found to possess the greatest degree of mainstream success. Rock also, however, was shown to have a very low tolerance for theological language, contrasted with the high tolerance of Country.

  • Tobymac I Just Need You Free Mp3 Download Tobymac
    tobymac i just need you free mp3 download tobyMac. The Eye On It Songfacts reports that Eye On It, TobyMac's fifth full-length studio album was released on August 28, 2012. Said TobyMac regarding the album title: "I want my music to depict what I'm going through. I want to write about the things that upset me, move me, hurt me and haunt me. The things that are real. With Tonight, I was determined to live more passionately with God. I was laying down the gauntlet. Eye On It is a continuation of that. It's saying, 'This is the person I want to be and I'm going to keep my eye on it, God willing!'" TobyMac "Tonight" The ascension of TobyMac's solo career has been nothing short of spectacular. In an era of declining music sales he has consistently defied the odds and has seen his sales increase with each new album release. This is no small feat. With his fourth studio album TONIGHT released on Feb. 9, he is poised to take things higher yet again. Having climbed the mountain once with the group dcTalk (4 Grammys, more than 8 million albums sold), TobyMac knows how difficult the journey can be and how much work the process actually takes. Rarely does an artist get to soar to great heights for a second time, but soar he has. He took home his first Grammy as a solo artist last year after receiving Grammy nominations for each of his first four solo projects (Momentum, Welcome To Diverse City, Portable Sounds, Tonight).
