Casting Crowns
Casting Crowns debut album “Casting Crowns” was written in 2003. It consists of nine astonishingly honest songs in this album combine a mixture of sombre lyrics and deep meaning with rhythmical tunes of genuine praise and out pouring of grateful hearts, and one disappointing song which was not written by them. Casting Crowns challenge the church on many different issues through their frank sincere lyrics and pulsating beat. As many of the songs are based on verses from the bible, the content is bound to be sound.
Lifesong
“Lifesong”, released in 2005, is Casting Crowns latest CD. Although a little less excitable then their debut album, it contains another pleasing collection of insightful Christian music songs that can be blunt in their effort to challenge the church effectively. Many of the songs can be rather unoriginal in both music and lyrics, and although this may be expected in a second album; it is still a little disappointing. Casting Crowns very often takes on a sober tone to deal with difficult issues close to their heart, and this works effectively with the sombre lyrics.
Live from Atlanta
“Live from Atlanta” is Casting Crowns first live album, and was recorded in 2003 and released in 2004. It contains a CD with five of their more popular and excitable songs from their debut album “Casting Crowns”, and one previously unreleased. The DVD contains the live performances of the songs and also has many extras including interviews and Mark Halls’ personal testimony. This CD/DVD collection was recorded in Casting Crowns home based church and catches the excitement of both the band and the congregation as they celebrate the successful release of their debut album.
