Album Review: Find The Truth by Nesdam

Nesdam Find The Truth Album Review

If you’re looking for some new hard rock music to listen to then I recommend you check out the newest Christian hard rock artist Nesdam. Although you might not have heard of Nesdam, the lead singer is no stranger to the hard rock scene. Patrick Madsen, the former drummer of Random Hero, and lead singer of Nesdam, released their debut album Find The Truth on January 17th. Nesdam is signed to Brian “Head” Welch’s label XOVR Records.

Find The Truth is a blend of aggressive hard rock songs and melodic ballads that keep the listener engaged from start to finish. The album features plenty of heavy guitar riffs, hard hitting drums and aggressive in your face vocals that hook the listener. The opening track “Sad Soul” opens with a guitar riff and scream that immediately grabs your attention and doesn’t let up.

The album dives into several relatable themes about life, faith and the struggles that we face. Each song on the album is expertly crafted, has its own unique aggressive style and takes the listener on a journey through lyrics that are narratively and thematically interesting. Tracks like “The Dawn,” “Manipulator,” and “The Hill” are musically aggressive and lyrically insightful. “The Hill” explores themes such as pain and suffering and overcoming life’s challenges through faith. It emphasizes the power and impact that sin has on us and that turning to Christ is the only way forward. Another great song on the album, “Plastic Crown” examines the impact that a false king like Satan, can have on each of us but putting our hope in Jesus, the true king, can be much more rewarding and have eternal impact on our lives.

Overall, I think that Find The Truth is a solid debut album that blends a number of modern hard rock styles together. It showcases the creative artistry and musicianship that Patrick Madsen and his fellow band members have. Not only is Find The Truth an energetic and aggressive rock album that comes out swinging but it also establishes Nesdam as a band with massive potential in the Christian hard rock music scene. I think if you’re a fan of bands like Spoken, The Protest, or Seventh Day Slumber, you will enjoy what Nesdam brings to the table. Find The Truth is an excellent album and Nesdam is a great addition to the Christian hard rock music scene. I’m excited to see and hear what Nesdam does next.

 

 

Song of the day

I’ve had a Spotify account since 2010. Back in those days you had to be invited. Somehow a friend of mine got invited and then invited me. Since then I have been creating playlists that I have enjoyed and discovering some cool bands along the way. I enjoy listening to music both live and recorded. I think music can have a lifelong impact on a person. Because of that I want to share some songs that I have enjoyed or had some impact on me. Introducing my very own song of the day. Enjoy.

XXI is a Christian rock band that formed in 2010 under their original name A Feast For Kings. After the tragic loss of their lead vocalist Eric Gentry in a construction accident they changed their name to XXI. They changed the band name to XXI which is 21 in roman numerals to memorialize Eric Gentry. He was 21 when he died. The band released some music between 2010 and 2020 but havent been all that active since then. The band was signed on Tooth and Nail records and released their second album Inside Out. Their album Inside Out was a solid debut and had some incredible rock elements. Hopefully this isnt the last of XXI.

Check them out.
