Christian rock albums often suffer from much of the same lyrical banality as many
black metal records do. Despite the obvious differences in ideology, each genre sticks so closely to its initial themes of God/Satan, light/dark, and grace/violence that the music becomes the sole focus. This debut from the band formerly known as Allysonhymn ("all eyes on him") is a hard-driving collection of melodic
post-grunge/
alternative metal "message
rock" in the vein of
Nickelback and
Creed that dutifully goes through the motions.
End of Grey has all of the rockers (
"I'll Breathe for You," "Never Lost"), power
ballads (
"Burn Back the Sun, " "No Longer"), and calls to arms (
"Break Free," "Fight Like This") one would expect, and it's impeccably played and produced. But there's nothing here that hasn't been done a hundred times before.
