True Strength - The House, The Holy, The Third (CD, 2022, Roxx) 80's Power Metal!
True Strength returns with their highly anticipated fifth full-length album, The House, The Holy, The Third—a powerful concept album based entirely on the Book of Ezekiel. Released via Roxx Records, this 12-track epic delivers over 60 minutes of melodic, riff-heavy, Scripture-centered metal, complete with soaring vocals, blazing solos, instrumentals, and sweeping ballads.
Already, critics praise it as one of the strongest albums of the year:
“In the end, The House, The Holy, The Third is certain to rank among the top albums of the year.”
— Andy Rockwell, Angelic Warlord
“If I were to purchase only one album this month, this would be it. It’s just that good!”
— Jacob Folk, Christian Molten Metal
The band follows up their acclaimed 2020 release The Mighty Hand of Yahweh by raising the bar—with reviewers and fans alike praising the upgraded production, sharpened songwriting, and passionate performances. The album features direct lyrical inspiration from the Book of Ezekiel, keeping the narrative true to Scripture while crafting a cinematic and powerful sonic experience.
From the dramatic “Chariot of God” to the crushing “Destruction of Gog and Magog,” and the climactic title track “The House, The Holy, The Third (John 2:19),” every song stands as a testimony to the band’s mission and resilience.
“True Strength comes into its own on this album. From the riffs to the melodies, every track makes its case.”
— Angelic Warlord
“True Strength proves they are here to stay.”
— Christian Molten Metal
The album features stunning cover art from Ward Silverman (Topps Comics, Star Wars), visualizing the Valley of Dry Bones in haunting detail, with a professionally crafted layout by Scott Waters (NoLifeTilMetal). Behind the scenes, the album emerges from a storm of adversity—health crises, personal losses, and spiritual warfare—but the band prevails through faith in Christ to bring this powerful work to life.
“This album serves as a labor of love and faith, and we are honored to share it with our beloved friends and fans around the world.”
