Beware The Wolves - EP

There are just some stories that define the musical experience of an album, and Iron Sharpens Iron certainly has a story to tell. Hailing from Anaheim, California, ISI "is not just a band, but a means to reach people and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ." Starting with their Proverbs 27:17 inspired band name and weaved throughout each of the six tracks on the EP, ISI shares what it means to follow Christ through the pain of this world.
It is this hope through the pain that deepens the story of this album. Originally, the Beware the Wolves EP was mapped out as five tracks of genre-busting metal-core goodness. Tragically, just before the album went to press, drummer Gabe Furey passed away. But, his fingerprint leaves a lasting impression on the album in powerful ways. Just prior to his passing, Gabe tried his hand at painting and the album artwork is actually one of his pieces. Looking at the picture, one would almost guess that it was computer animated, rather than hand painted. Truly, the world has lost a great talent. As singer Chris Kurth points out, it "kind of gives this elusive, eerie kind of vibe to it. Especially when you know that the EP's title is Beware the Wolves, it makes you start to look in between the trees to see if there's a hidden wolf or something!"
