After years as a flagship Tooth & Nail act, Thousand Foot Krutch goes the independent route on The End Is Where We Begin. The Canadian Christian trio turns the project into a reaffirmation of its strengths, serving up hip-hop grooves, meaty rock riffage, and solid melodic content in fresh combinations. As before, frontman Trevor McNevan proves himself a lyricist capable of both anthemic hooks and nuanced content, whether he's delivering a fervent alter call (
Let the Sparks Fly), confessing his brokenness (the title tune), or rebuking the Prince of Darkness (
Fly on the Wall). Longtime TFK fans will hear echoes of the band's rapcore roots in
Light Up the Sky, as well as a sharpened metal edge (complete with harsh singing!) on
We Are. Amid the blistering guitar volleys and shout-along choruses are powerful expressions of spiritual hunger and transformation, with the acoustic ballad
So Far Gone and the minor-key rocker
Courtesy Call standing out for their emotional impact. The End Is Where We Begin manages to tie together its diverse sonic strands with unflagging energy and a sense of commitment. - iTunes
