Sunrise over a Sea of Blood
Sunrise Over a Sea of Blood is the second studio album by the Christian deathcore band Mortal Treason. It was released on July 19, 2005, by Flicker Records and runs 40 minutes and 59 seconds. This album is the first to feature new members bassist TJ Alford, pianist Elizabeth Grimmett, drummer Steve Robinson, and rhythm guitarist Adam Wright. The band has said their influences include At the Gates, but they aim for something original. The title suggests serious themes, with the title track addressing the end times and a world going crazy. Most lyrics focus on spiritual issues and everyday struggles. The songs form a kind of narrative, and the endings aren’t always happy. Opening track Worst Case Scenario deals with friends slipping into drugs and other evils, while Abaddon addresses child abuse but offers a message of hope. Other songs, such as The Falling and Dig Your Own Grave, explore the consequences of living for oneself.
