The Covering

Random Hero's "The Covering" features Christian Rock and Main Stream Rock Radio hits, "Mirror Mirror", "Impossible" and "Running" produced and mixed/mastered by Dove Award winning and Grammy Nominated Robert Venable (Twenty One Pilots, Kelly Clarkson, Megadeth, Disciple, INXS, Building 429) of Off The Wall Studios in Nashville, TN.
The Covering was envisioned as two parts: The Gift & the Curse and The Light & The Covering. That duality is definitely evident on the release. The first half has a darker tone, with songs like lead singer "Mirror Mirror" inviting introspection and establishing the need for deliverance. "Violence in Me" and "Where I Belong" further illustrate the struggles of a soul locked in addiction, calling to God for help. Musically, the band pairs theatrical, electronic elements with Joshua Bertrand's crunchy, full-bodied guitar riffs to set the tone.
The second half, which falls under The Light & The Covering heading, soars through uplifting and redemptive territory. "Chance to Breathe" holds a strong mission statement in the bridge: "The devil wants you to think you're hopeless, I believe we're not that hopeless. The devil wants you to think you're worthless, I believe we all have a purpose." Many of the songs carry anthemic declarations in that same vein; "Fire in Me" announces defiantly "death doesn't scare me anymore."
