House of Heroes

Hey Younglifers (and everyone else), quick update today with a fun christian band called House of Heroes. Christian music as a genre can be hard to find for free so stuff like this is appreciated. Even though they are technically classified as Christian, they have a very broad appeal and should be enjoyable by anyone. They have a great varied sound that mostly stays within alternative but can range from poppy acoustic to even a heavy metal sound (within the same song even!) Amazon has 4 free songs from 2 separate locations. The first is a three-song EP titled "The End is Not The End" containing the songs "In The Valley of the Dying Sun", "If", and "Lose Control." "In The Valley of the Dying Sun" in particular is really good if the high vocals in the chorus don't annoy you. The other songs do not have that falsetto though... If you download it as an album it's free but if you do it song by song there will be a cost. The second is a free Christmas song off of another 3-song EP titled "The Christmas Classics - EP". "Silent Night" is available for free and is an honestly good cover with a nice string ensemble through the bridge. If you don't have an Amazon account, you will need to make one for free but it will ask for info like credit card for billing (it is Amazon after all.)

The video below is for "In The Valley of the Dying Sun" and is actually a very good video and adds extra layers of meaning to the song. Warning: There is lots of blood and violence in the video. Enjoy nonetheless!!!

UPDATE: The Christmas single has been removed by Amazon (they are often temporary deals) but the EP is still intact. Another song from their newest album is available from here if you post a message through Twitter about it. Please give them a chance and download this great music!!!
