Louder Than The Music

Elim Sound, the collective of worship leaders and pastors from the UK's Elim Pentecostal group of churches, have released their second album 'Sound Of Hope'. Recording live during the Elim Bible Week 2012 at Telford International Centre in April, the album features 13 worship tracks.

"Having set themselves the task of not just defining the sound of an entire denomination's sung worship - but also releasing it within churches across the nation - Elim Sound have been on a sharp learning curve", explains Kingsway.

Featuring worship leaders Joel Pridmore, Sam Blake, Stephen Gibson and Ian Yates, 'Sound Of Hope' is both a look back at the songs that have started to grow within the Elim movement since they started their work, whilst also a look forward to how things may sound in the future.

"Songs like 'Trust In The Lord' point the way", continues Kingsway. "What starts out as the easiest of congregational sing-a-longs takes a dramatic twist three-minutes in, introducing an element that is truly transformations. After that, trust seems a whole lot closer.

'You Found Me' has all the honest intimacy of vintage Cutting Edge era Martin Smith, while 'Prophetic Sound' brings worshippers back to an essential expression of worship which some have overlooked in recent years. 'Hallelujah Sound' continues to echo the sound of the nations, bringing cultures together rather than leaving them apart."
