Kutless is back. But not the worship band Kutless, the rock band. Returning to the heavy, nu-metal sound that marked them during the 2000s, Kutless is back with the 6-track EP, The Seventh Seal. Even the slightly softer track, "Breakthrough," carries a heavy edge to it. But it's not just the music that's heavy, the message bears weight as well.

The name Matt Crocker might not immediately ring a bell for everyone, but his songs certainly should. Tracks like "Scandal of Grace," "This I Believe (The Creed)," and "I Surrender" have become modern worship anthems, penned and performed during his years with Hillsong UNITED.

But while the album's eclectic style is its greatest strength, its sprawling runtime becomes its Achilles' heel, diluting a stellar 10-song core with a back half that drags under its weight...
