BAND BIOGRAPHY

Context is a three-piece Christian Metalcore band from Morgantown, WV with the singular goal of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Context is known for their unmistakably Biblical lyrics; with songs like Abound, Healer, Pressure, and Stoneheart among their most popular. Over their discography, Context’s sound has evolved; taking in elements of Progressive Music, Deathcore, Djent, and even Spoken Word. Since their formation in 2018, Context has independently released three EP's, three cover singles, an original Christmas song, and a Full Length album. "Indwelling", the latest EP from Context is a return to their no nonsense metalcore roots. 

​

Context has had the opportunity to play with bands such as Convictions, Meadows, Brotality, Relent, GFM, and festivals such as Audiofeed, and Jesus Fest. Their live set brings a heavy dose of raw energy through heavy riffs, pounding drums, and emotional harsh vocals. In addition, there is a sense of connection and genuine vulnerability with fans as the band shares their faith in between songs.

Kingdomcore 2023 Album of the year #47

​

"@cntxtband is too good to go unnoticed! Their new EP ‘Indwelling’ came out back in March and the boys really took it up a notch with this one. They took their normal hybrid of spoken word and progressive metalcore, and threw in some deathcore elements to spice things up. Context are one of the most outspoken bands in the scene and straight up preach out of the Bible on stage. We need more unashamed bands like them in Christian metal.

Favorite track: Abound

Context is for fans of: Silent Planet, The Devil Wears Prada, and Currents"

Kingdomcore 2021 Album of the year #38

"Context is a special band that I’m excited to share with you guys. If you have felt that the Christian metal scene has been lacking in solid theological lyrics, Context has you covered. They are without a doubt one of the most biblically accurate, unashamedly Christian bands that the scene has ever had. Along with convicting and Christ-centered lyrics, Context has a heavy, technical metalcore sound similar to some of the scene’s most relevant bands. ‘Kingdoms’ is an exceptionally well written metalcore record, and one of the most uplifting albums I head this year!🤘

Context is for fans of: Invent Animate, Silent Planet, and Weeping Hour"

Pastor Rob Reacts (Robert Houghton) “Compassion” reaction

"These lyrics had me in tears this morning. As someone who has been in ministry for 15+ years, I have always had one thing constantly burdening me. I want the people to know and experience the compassionate love of Jesus! I have met so many people who are wrestling with sin and shame, who cannot believe God would extend grace to them. I’ve met people who are hurt, with marriages that are falling apart, victims of abuse, and abandonment, etc. I’ve seen so much pain over the years and I just wish they could see the compassion of Christ! The love in the blood that was spilled for them!

The vocalists crying plea to God in this song is same cry I’ve always had deep in my soul! I pray for all of you reading this, that you fall into the loving arms of Christ and experience TRUE compassion! 🙏🙏🙏"

For The Rock "Kingdoms" reaction

"The new LP from @cntxtband is out now! Go and jam this banger of an album, full of great lyrics, heart, and progressive metalcore! Kingdoms is definitely worth your attention, and the whole album is pointing straight to Jesus. I had the pleasure of meeting these guys via video chat recently, and they are committed to putting Christ first and it is evident in this album. Consider grabbing a copy on Bandcamp!"
