Seventh Day Slumber: “Thy Kingdom Come” Album Review
In their 15th overall release, Seventh Day Slumber continues their streak of transforming contemporary worship staples into high-octane rock anthems. Thy Kingdom Come breathes new life into tracks by artists like Brandon Lake and Phil Wickham, swapping "CCM polish" for raw power chords, double-bass drumming, and Joseph Rojas’s signature deep, gravelly vocals. While a few tracks play it safe, the album remains a solid addition to the band's discography that successfully brings a rock-and-roll edge to modern worship.
