Missouri-based metal act The Order Of Elijah recently announced “God’s Unwanted Tour” which kicks off on June 10 and ends June 25. Dates and locations are listed below.
Vocalist Shannon Low about getting back on the road: “After War at Heart dropped in January, we found out on tour that we had climbed to the iTunes Top 10 Metal Charts. After that, I had to focus on a semester of classes for my Radiology major, so we took a small break from major touring. Now that the semester is about over, TOOE is primed to hit the road and destroy some full-length tours. Every show is going to wild.”
The Order Of Elijah‘s sophomore album, “War at Heart” has been released on January 8 via Luxor Records.
The Order Of Elijah is based out of SW Missouri. After releasing their 2013 album “Dethrone,” The Order began touring the midwest and west coast. The single ‘New Line of Defense’ has been featured on many media outlets worldwide. After stepping away from Rottweiler Records the band has hit the ground running. The band’s music consists of massive guitar assaults & guttural screams of power entwined with tenacious rhythms, dynamically placed between soul pounding breakdowns.
The world is ate up. One of the most commonly asked questions to The Order Of Elijah is “Are you a religious band.” While religion can introduce people to experience or express love and compassion, it is also guilty of being a primary progress for hate, war, and judgment. There is an over-obvious corruption that many churches and cultures have adapted to the words of Jesus Christ. When Shannon Low (vocalist) and Bryan Cox (guitarist) originally formed The Order Of Elijah in 2009, they began with a vision to bring awareness and express some unspoken facts on this issue. After being shunned by many peers, churches, and religious communities for the message they bring, The Order Of Elijah has remained relentless and aggressively answered to every aspect with an unashamed backhand to the face. The Order is passionate about the life of Christ, but feels that many modern day religious leaders are easily compared to Biblical Pharisees.
“The ‘turn-or-burn’ message is garbage. It infects the mind in such an ugly and forceful way. I believe God wants us to be tolerant, open-minded to evolve with modern culture, and somehow learn to have some love in this day in age.” –Shannon Low
The band is comprised of: Shannon Low -vocals, Josh Newlon – drums, James Copley – bass, Bryan Cox – guitar, Myk Lee Fodor – guitar.
