Inner Means
Artist: Inner Means
Label: Solid State/Tooth & Nail Records

Well, isn't this a nice little praise and worship album.  The music is maxed-out, crushing metalcore, Tooth & Nail style, but the lyrics are straight-up worship songs:

    You are strong yet humble
    so wise but still meek 
    your love is reaching out to all with need
    bring us home
    I want to be like Jesus...."
    (from "Falling Time")
Unfortunately, vocalist Alfred sounds like a demon-possessed fiend and is completely incomprehensible (even for me), so you'll need to be able to read if you want to get this album.  I was going to say that four songs is a little skimpy, but then I realized it was just right.  Any more and I'd get bored (since they all sound the same).  Fans of Zao, Unashamed, and sloppy death metal--this rocks for you!
