Metalcore heavy-hitters Convictions return with The Fear of God (Deluxe Edition), following the success of their 2024 album, which debuted at #1 on the iTunes metal chart and accumulated over 1 million streams within the first few weeks. Expanding on the album’s weighty themes of spiritual reckoning and personal struggle, the deluxe edition introduces two new songs, “Metanoia” and “Bend the Knee“, offering even more depth, intensity, and raw emotion.
“Metanoia” delves into the transformative power of true repentance. The track blends explosive melodies with crushing breakdowns, mirroring the internal battle between old habits and newfound conviction.
“This song is about the struggle of breaking free from the past and embracing change, even when it’s painful,” says vocalist Michael Felker. “It’s about dying to yourself and coming out on the other side renewed.”
“Bend the Knee” delivers a chilling vision of final judgment. With crushing breakdowns, vivid biblical imagery, and unrelenting intensity, the track captures the weight of mortality and the reckoning that follows. Opening with a haunting scene- “The skies are open and the throne stands alone. The earth is groaning as the dead leave their bones.”- the song surges through moments of chaos and ethereal release, reflecting both destruction and rebirth.
“This song is a call to confront our demons before it’s too late,” Felker explains. “It is about realizing that grace is still within reach. We wanted to sonically capture the weight of that moment- the terror, the awe, and the ultimate surrender.”
With tracks like “Buried in Thorns,” “Hurts Like Hell,” “Four Horses,” and “Sleeping Lotus“, The Fear of God has already left a lasting impact on listeners, addressing everything from personal loss to spiritual upheaval. The Fear of God (Deluxe Edition) expands on that journey, cementing itself as one of Convictions’ most powerful and thought-provoking releases to date.
