#28. Oh, Sleeper
Son of the Morning

Release Date: August 25, 2009

Oh, Sleeper's Son of the Morning, along with its conceptual sequel, Children of Fire, have remained highlights of Christian metalcore since their releases in the late 2000s and early 2010s, respectively. Although met with a reasonable amount of controversy (even this metalhead finds Children of Fire's "The Marriage of Steel and Skin" a tough listen), the two records take a profound look into the spiritual battle that takes place both around us and within us. Son of the Morning is the more immediate and accessible of the two and features some of the best lyricism I've heard in modern metalcore to date. Lines such as, "If death is victory, how afraid of life can you be," "Send me all of hell and I'll face them, I'll face them one on one-thousand," and "You'll bow at my feet, or I'll rip out your knees, and make of your face all the carnage you crave, I am the finisher and I am forever" reach into the fiery, wrathful heart of Christian metal to show believers what it truly means to be soldiers fighting the good fight.
