Unsure of the band?s future at the time of writing and recording, The Myriad set out to make the album they could be proud of for the rest of their lives. The result? Twelve evocative, cinematic tracks?each one an artful story unto itself.

Tenth Avenue North?s Mike Donehey says the band?s mission is to ?know Christ and make Him known.? A very vertical lyrical orientation and thoughtfully arranged soundscapes will open doors easily for this melodic message.

New Gotee artist Stephanie Smith has a story to tell, and she tells it well through the 12 rocking tracks of her debut Not Afraid. Her hard life lessons are spun into helpful gold that are sure to both entertain and help many young listeners.

At times dissonant and rollicking, and other times spacey and ambient, Out of Ruin?s What I Can?t See has been well received even before its release?getting close to 150,000 plays on MySpace within four months of posting.

Dizmas will serve well as both an introduction to new fans and a pleaser for old ones: it features six re-mastered tracks from the Credential projects and four new songs written especially for this debut on Forefront Records.
