Band History

After its founding in 2005, the band played mainly concerts. On 1 April 2008, they released their first studio album, produced by Facedown Records, named ecclesia ( the called-out ones ). The term comes from the Greek and is a self-designation of the first Christians, with which you want to express their faith. On 8 May 2008 appeared from said album of the most successful titles - agape - as a video. The second album Portraits was published on 9 June 2009 under the same label, and held for a week at number 15 on the Billboard charts for Christian albums. In the songs of the album various Biblical personalities are portrayed. For the people it is the Old Testament prophet Ezekiel, Joel, Elijah and Isaiah, as well as the Pharisee Nicodemus, the priest Zacharias, Saul (later Paul) of Tarsus and Immanuel (Jesus). The last song of the album - Talmidim (designation for followers of a rabbi, here are probably the disciples of Jesus, that all Christians meant ) - deals with the Bible verse Ez 36.26-28 Lut from the book of the prophets already portrayed.
