Disciple.

I like disciple.
But still dowbt to order the new album.
Do you have this new album?
do you like it?
Is it better than previous albums?

I think it's a great album, but not as good as their last two.  Mind you, their last one was a slow burner for me, and it was only after a few months did I start to love it.  So maybe Love Letter will be the same?  It's definitely worth having, but I wouldn't rate it their best.

Love Letter Kill Shot is amazing!

Thanks.
I'll decided to buy this album.

I really like this album.  I saw them live a few weeks ago and was really impressed.  They are a big name but seem to fly under the radar sometimes.  I would say go get it and you won't be disappointed.

I heart Disciple.  I've caught them twice in my backwoods. 14K+ hometown here in Mizzou.

This is because the Christian labels, for the most part, don't support rock or metal acts anymore.  Seventh Day Slumber built their own label and have started signing the different acts that they tour with.  The regular labels don't want rock anymore as the demographics for CCM radio isn't aimed at rockers.  These stations are programmed for a "30 year old soccer mom" who wants music that is "safe for the whole family".  She doesn't want to add to the volume of a loud family with some rockin' background music.  She wants to relax.

I know a lot of people who still love to rock.  However, Christian music sales are down and the last big retailer (Lifeway) is now gone.  The industry will circle the wagons so to speak and put out what they know will sell regardless of how formulaic it may seem.  We rockers get thrown out to the dogs of indie labels and self releases.  The Christian industry no longer cares if we exist.

Exactly what alldat said.  We (The World Will Burn) have released several albums with one of the biggest Christian labels in the past, but they were independent and really offer very little other than some distribution channels.  I dont blame them, Christian rock sales are really low, and there isnt any money in streaming.  Our new album is going to be totally independent, we are printing fewer CDs, and selling them to the people that want the music.  
Disciple seems to be in the middle of the road.  They have a big fan base because they tour a lot, but they arent Stryper.  At the same time they are bigger than most of the newer indie bands.  I think they are on the Tooth and Nail label now, and that should give them a nice bump.  I got the new album and listened to it a few times yesterday.  Great sound, production, and performances.  I felt their songs lacked a little bit of a hook and were a little bit all the same, but that's just me.  I am a sucker for a big hook and memorable songs.  They are one of the few legit pro touring Christian rock bands left.  They had a great message too, which I loved.

Disciple, Seventh Day Slumber, and Skillet are probably the biggest mainstream Christian rock bands right now.  Disciple, while being on Tooth n' Nail, have attached themselves a lot recently with Seventh Day Slumber's City Rockfest tour.  Skillet can still pack in a crowd whether they are doing a Christian show or opening for secular bands.

I want to ask you if you only can order the new discipe CD on amazon and Apple?
I prefer to order the CD at an other online store.

The Disciple should be available through most retailers.  I would imagine that Girder Music stocks it.  Christian Music Distro might.  You can also try Disciple's site.  That's where I got mine.  Tooth & Nail's web store may also have it.

For me to order the new Disciple CD on their website is not working.
I have to try one of the other stores to get the CD.
