Favorite 10 Impending Doom Songs Of All Time

Impending Doom is one of the best Christian metal bands ever!  They are a Christian deathcore band that started in California.  Their breakdowns are brutal leaving you wanting more!  Brook Reeve’s growls and screams are unmatched.  And with Manny Contreras back in the picture with their latest album “Death Will Reign” it couldn’t get much better.  And Brandon Trahan is an absolute beast on the drums as well!  Here is my list of my favorite 10 Impending Doom songs of all time, including some of my favorite lyrics from each song.  Enjoy!

10. Silence The Oppressors – Nailed, Dead, Risen

Favorite Lyric – “We will crush your walls that dictate where our ministry goes, don't you tell me I'm using my God as a gimmick.  I’m not a heretic.”

9. Rip, Tear, And Burn – Death Will Reign

Favorite Lyric – “Slither like snakes upon the cross.  Too many fangs to count.  Severed heads will fall
by the hands that they denounce!”

8. My Blood – Death Will Reign

Favorite Lyric – “You have strength!  You are love!  You have compassion and You have mercy!  You have wisdom!  You are ambitious!  You have life and You are worthy!  You're a man!  You're a lion!  You are honest and You're important!  You are holy and when You speak, Your words will shake the foundations of the earth!  You are my beloved!”

7. Peace Illusion – There Will Be Violence

Favorite Lyric – “I have said nothing new.  I'm not a revolutionary.  I'm not the world's leader.  But I'm a part of holding it together.  I have such a different view of this place.  It seems that the faces of evil always seem to change.”

6. For All Have Sinned – Nailed, Dead, Risen

Favorite Lyric – “Those who call upon His name for strength shall be blessed.”

5. More Than Conquerors – The Serpent Servant

Favorite Lyric – “If you wanna go to Heaven with me, I will show you the way.  Eternal youth, forever young, immortalize your name!  Immortalize your name!”

4. Storming The Gates Of Hell – The Serpent Servant

Favorite Lyric - Our whispers will silence your roars and our roars will wreck your lives.  So here we come, we were withered and drowned out, but raised up in Son soaked brilliance.  Raised up!”

3. There Will Be Violence – There Will Be Violence

Favorite Lyric – “We are the voice for the voiceless among unholy kingdoms drunk with blasphemy.  We are continents wide and oceans deep; the blood of the saints is splashed across the ruins like a holy holocaust.  We will return and you will hear an uproar of lost souls!  There will be violence!”

2. Murderer, Baptized In Filth

Favorite Lyric – “We have to realize a reality beyond our eyes.  In an unseen world, the Antichrist is gonna rise and we'll have to realize a reality beyond our eyes.  In an unseen world, the Antichrist will fall!”

1. Death, Ascension, Resurrection – Baptized In Filth

This entire song is awesome lyrically and it is very heavy!  Satan is not the king of hell at all.  Check out these powerful words from this powerful song!

“Who do you say I am?
I am the Alpha, Omega, beginning and end.
If only you understood you'd know that the heart is a treasure from heaven.
Death, ascension, resurrection!
Now look what I’ve become!
Proclaiming His Name and looking down the barrel of a gun.
I'M IN THIS FOR LIFE!

The time has come to change the world.
All this destruction keeps pushing us back running, further, into the ground.
The devil isn't the king of hell.
He's just the key prisoner that fell with the world wrapped around his finger!

Are we, trapped in division and unbelief?
Forever, separated by our hatred?

Turn, run as fast as you can and leave it all behind!
There's nothing for you here!
The devil isn't the king of hell.
He's just the key prisoner that fell with the world wrapped around his finger!

Are we trapped in division and unbelief?
Forever, separated by our hatred? [2x]

Death, ascension, resurrection!!! [8x]

Demon possessed, praise the dead; walking beside him like darkness is your closest friend.

Are we, trapped in division and unbelief?
Forever, separated by our hatred?
Follow, Him to the kingdom of heaven where pain and suffering cease to exist!

Death, ascension, resurrection!!! [2x]”

Conclusion

These are my favorite 10 songs by Impending Doom!  When listening to bands my favorite songs may seem a little unorthodox but the lyrics are huge to me and my faith and the Bible mean everything, so songs like “Death, Ascension, Resurrection” get me pumped!  Christ is coming back!  Long live Christian Metal!  Long live the King!!!
