New Release Today has started “NRT Books” and their first release is “Mixtape Theology” which is a 330+ book that takes a look at 90’s Christian Music and Culture, all the cheese but also that much cherished message and what made it so great.

Theocracy return with brand new song “Return to Dust”. Watch the music video for the killer song, below. What comes to mind first and foremost is a collage of exploding head emojis, words like “epic” and “soaring”, images of powerful dragons flying through the night skies with stealth, a choir of angels with swords at their sides using their voices to battle the hoards of demons, and for some reason riding a majestic Falkor over massive fields right at sunset. I think of those things as this song plays loud from the comforting embrace of my headphones.… Continued →
