Press on.

About Me


This is a ministry first, and a band second. We live every day for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This is what we believe. Don’t be afraid to talk to us about it. God Bless all of you.
CHECK OUT WHAT HM MAGAZINE AND UPRISE MAGAZINE SAID ABOUT US!!
"Before...There Was Rosalyn has an intense, thrashy Dillenger-esqu metalcore sound with influences ranging from early-Hopesfall to The Handshake Murders. For a young band, they expell a mean sound and have a lot of potential, as well as room for growth. Their self-released EP entitled "Rebirth" is a nice introduction to what will hopefully be a thriving career. Their lyrics are much bolder than most "Christian" metalcore bands, so this adds a lot to the emotions of their music. I look forward to seeing how far these guys go."
- Uprise Zine, Dave Darr-
"Before...There Was Rosalyn is hard and furious, with lots of dynamic fills. Soft introductions lull you in only to hack away with brutal screaming and crashing guitars. " - Doug Van Pelt Editor-
HM Magazine
"Before...There Was Rosalyn-They sound mean and I am now terrified of them as people. "
-Erin Lee Director of Advertising- HM Magazine
