Kutless makes powerful comeback with Revelation-inspired album

s choice. Jon Micah knows that. But he’s OK with it.
“I mean, why not? Why can’t Christian music have heavy guitars and heavy drums? Why does it have to be in the corner with an acoustic guitar? That’s never been us.”
And he’s right. Kutless has always held a bit more weight than your run-of-the-mill radio rock band. Maybe that’s why fans felt the need to shove this EP at all their friends. No cynicism or whispers of the band “selling out.” Just pure excitement.
“Honestly, I’m just excited for people to hear it,” Jon Micah reflected as we wrapped up our talk. “It’s been a tough few years for everyone. Hopefully, this will give people a little bit of music to help them feel like they can breathe again.”
And it’s not just the music. The stories behind it make this album resonate even deeper. The personal struggles, the business setbacks, the moments of doubt and pain that have now been alchemized into rock songs that feel like anthems for the journey we’re all on.
The Seventh Seal EP comes in two parts, the first dropping now, the second in October. It’s a rare move, but again, Jon Micah felt like it was the right choice.
“We thought about just slamming it all out there at once, but then it’s just over. We want this to be something that people can really dig into. If you love the first part, you’ve just got a few months to wait for the next. We’re not trying to make people wait forever.”
Kutless might not be the band you know. Yeah, they’re older. Yeah, they’ve been through it. But they’re still hungry. They want to make music that shakes the rafters, that makes fans slam their fists on the steering wheel, that gives people hope. Hope in a world that can feel pretty bleak.
Bleakness has been the name of the game in the Kutless camp lately. But it feels like a veil is lifting. The band is back, and they’re bolder than ever. They’re climbing back up on the tower and shouting from the rooftops that the Stone that the builders rejected is now the chief cornerstone.
The Seventh Seal EP isn’t just an album. It feels like a prophecy. A promise of more to come. A promise that no matter how dark the night, there will always be a light shining on the horizon. And for Kutless fans, that light is burning brighter than ever.
