"Rise From the Ruins" is a dark symphonic metal concept album by Thomas J. Allen, blending thunderous instrumentation with a prophetic narrative inspired by Holy Scripture. Each track is a chapter in a larger story — a descent into chaos, divine judgment, and ultimate redemption. Rooted in the Word of God, the album takes listeners from the rebellion of the heavenly host to the final promise of eternal peace.

As a dedicated storyteller, Thomas uses music as a vessel to bring biblical prophecy to life — blending dark symphonic metal with themes of judgment, redemption, and hope. His debut concept album, Rise From the Ruins, is a labor of faith and vision, reflecting both his technical mastery and theological depth.

Why Music? As years spent preaching the Gospel can often become repetitive, with sermons sometimes failing to captivate, and ministers being plentiful — some good, some bad — the challenge becomes how to effectively tell the story of Heaven, the great rebellion, and the war we are in — caught in the middle of an angelic rebellion against our Father. The answer is Music. Music is a universal outlet, a medium that transcends words, reaching hearts and souls in ways that mere sermons cannot.


Hebrews 10:19-23 - Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) (KJV)
