Best known for their hook infused pop-rock sound and refreshing lyrics, Fervent Records' Dove Award-winning band By The Tree released their highly anticipated fifth album entitled World On Fire on September 26th.
Following the success of the group's previous album, Hold You High, which featured the No. 1 radio hit "Beautiful One," World On Fire showcases By The Tree's signature style and delivers the band's most mature work to date. Produced by Dwayne Larring (formerly of SONICFLooD), the album lyrically centers on the need for God and allowing His light and love to radiate through people to share with the world.
"The past year and a half has been a time of growth for us," shares Aaron Blanton, lead singer for By The Tree. "We have seen God build, protect, restore and cover us. With the release of World On Fire, there is a coming message of desperation: The need for God."
The first single and title track from World On Fire released to radio on July 14th and the music video for their first single was released in August.
At the retail level, the enhanced CD includes features such as a guitar instructional video, the "World On Fire" music video as well as B-roll footage of the band in the studio.
