Kutless’s new 6-song EP, The Seventh Seal, marks a powerful return to the band’s heavier rock roots, blending hard-hitting anthems with moments of emotional honesty. Across the album, they tackle themes of spiritual struggle, hope, betrayal, and perseverance, delivering vulnerable lyrics that bear truth and are deeply relatable.
Musically, the album balances intense rock energy with refined melodies, creating a dynamic listening experience that builds momentum from track to track. Standouts like “End of the World” and “Midnight” showcase Kutless’s ability to weave heavy instrumentation with emotional depth, while “Breakthrough” is a bit slower, moodier, and more reflective.
These songs confront darkness head-on — from anxiety and betrayal to the fight to keep faith when everything feels uncertain. The album also includes standout guest performances by Dawn Michele on “Hold On” and Kevin Young of Disciple on “The End of the World.”
Overall, The Seventh Seal is a compelling and thematically rich album that will resonate deeply with Christian rock fans and anyone who appreciates music that addresses real-life struggles with honesty and hope.
Sea of faces is still their best album but this ep is right up there imo just hope there’s more to come
