ØM-53 Gets It Right| Posted July 24, 2021
From their entry on Bandcamp for the song, “It’s All Wrong"...
"It's All Wrong came from a place of spiritual awakening. We’ve all grown up in church and have found ourselves being part of a system that is more worried about entertainment, bringing people through the doors and being cool rather than worrying about bringing truth. We are not perfect and have all fallen short. When you realize you’ve been part of the problem, will you ignore it, or risk losing everything to be part of the solution?"
With churches so easily bending Scripture to the world—or rejecting it outright, it is refreshing to have an artist renounce the common fallacy nowadays of letting the world change our Church instead of being faithful servants of Christ that change our world.
Combine that lyrical point of view—stayed under the Scriptures—with a fantastic and ethereal Synthwave sound, and you have one of the best new artists of the last five years.
