Raven‘s Heart -Lithoscry

In this episode, we sit down with Alex to explore his radical transformation from theistic satanist to follower of Jesus Christ.

His story is a powerful reminder that no one is beyond the reach of God’s grace.🎸 Music, Metal, and MinistryAlex is not only a believer — he is a musician who has worked across multiple genres, ultimately finding his artistic home in unblack metal, a Christ centered counterpart to black metal. We discuss:• Why he creates unblack metal despite its association with satanism• How God called him to use this intense, atmospheric style for Christian worship and evangelism• How he responds to critics who say Christians shouldn’t be involved in black metalAlex’s music is deeply theological, rooted in Scripture, and intentionally crafted to glorify Christ in a genre often associated with darkness.📖 Theology in Metal: Scripture Driven SongwritingWe feature a segment of his earlier release “Psalm 66: How Awesome Is He”, a full Psalm set in unblack metal form.🎶 New Release: Tempestuous Sustain of Prolific DissonanceAlex breaks down the meaning behind his latest release, Tempestuous Sustain of Prolific Dissonance — a poetic, intense title with deep spiritual significance.
