The Over The Grave review said, in part:
People don’t typically go to Isaac Watts to satisfy their need for driving-guitar, multiple ambient sub-textured songs or to satisfy their hunger for blazing Southern rock riffs. And, on the other hand, we don’t usually go to indie-rock for deep theological traditions being musically unearthed in themes like justice, righteousness, and the dramatic transformation of death into victory by the sacrifice of the Lamb. But that all changes with Over The Grave …
Featuring the unique blend of coffeehouse musical art and the classic hymns that began a movement of reformation and music in the Church, Over The Grave is a nice find …
These songs may take a couple listens for your congregation to grab, but most have choruses that will ring out in the rafters.
Playlist: “Warrior,” “Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed,” “May Your Power Rest On Me”
Thanks, Worship Leader magazine. And if you haven’t checked these songs out for yourself, listen to the iTunes preview here.
