If you like your praise music brawny and intense, you'll enjoy "Reveal," from indie artists, the Scott Sutton Band. Their deep sincerity doesn't hurt either.
“Reveal” is ten original tracks of burly praise rock directed vertically. The four piece band comes on strong with moody vocals, thick guitars and plenty of atmosphere. “Only For Your Glory” is the first track that snaps me to attention, with its nuanced guitar work and joyous bridge. Lyrically, they’re not breaking any new ground, and it’s the area most in need of improvement, but they do offer up creative soundscapes that lend themselves to worship, to “entering in.” From what I can tell from their nicely packaged CD, this is their greatest intent. The melodic title track is full of inventive hooks and tasty sound tidbits, and drips with longing. The passion that drives the Scott Sutton Band emanates openly from their songs of worship, making them a solid choice to aid and enrich your own personal worship experience. Check out “See You Child” for expression of said passion, not to mention crunchy guitars. The twinkling string delights of standout track “Grace Reached Low” are numerous, with Sutton’s rough vocals perfectly playing against the pretty pickin’. I enjoyed the old-school rock changes of the worshipful “Beautiful Sovereign Savior” but it is the quietly adoring “In Grace” that really stopped me in my tracks. This great closer highlights their programming chops, used wisely throughout but especially powerful on this beautiful track, thick with yearning. The Scott Sutton Band is made up of worshippers, that much is clear, and “Reveal” will add much to your own experience. For more deep worship music, check out Paul Baloche's "Greater Song" and "Ancient Skies" from the Michael Gungor Band.
