The debut EP “Sometimes When You Win You Lose” from A Vessel of Honor features their acclaimed single "March to the Chair" and their new single "Falling Farther"!
A Vessel of Honor is a modern Christian Metal band from South-western Virginia who’s take on contemporary heavy metal features strong scripture backed vocals and heart pumping grooves. The fresh sound of AVOH stems from dropped tuning and pairing their six-string chugs with a seven-string lead guitar. Their tonality includes synthesized elements like orchestras and hard-hitting bass drops all set off with djent rhythms and double bass drum accents. Christian and non-Christian fans will not be disappointed with their post-hardcore sound, melodic attributes and featured breakdown rhythms.

lyrics
As the shoreline fades
We sail into the night
The doubt in my gut grows
We left him behind
Now as the wind screams
The storms shake our resolve
The waves toss us over
Now we’re all alone
The spirit on the water
Beckons me come
I barely recognize him
Through the howling storm
Now or never time to rise
Show him the strength
I hold inside
(Chorus)
I’m treading water
To keep from drowning here
Darkness beneath my feet so near
It drags me down, pulls me under
The weight of doubt
Yanks me deeper
I’m spent and sin keeps me from
Gasping air
Deep breath in
Heart shakes in my chest
One foot to the sea
One faith to test
As the waves rise
I climb into the sea
My eyes fall away
I begin to sink
(Chorus)
Waves rise around me
The treading’s begun.
As I drift my eyes
Away from the Son
He holds out his hand
As the waters rise
He pulls me in close
Up to his side
(Chorus)
Daily I fail and daily I rise
The endless cycle of human life
If my eyes drift from God
Then I can’t fight
The pull of this world
Away from his side
