Reviews:

“For so long the secular music world has been running the show as far as “new sound” goes and Christian music has been coming in second place.. and i believe that as Christians we are supposed to be the ones making the new sound that compels all people to listen.. resulting in all people getting exposed to something that is new and fresh from God and i believe that when people listen to this album they are getting exposed to just that. This album is so anointed and so fresh, and it led me right into the Father’s arms with every beat. God, i ask that you would keep pouring out more anointed and fresh lyrics and sounds through Michael Ketterer.. so the people can experience you and your love.. in the name of Jesus.” - Andrew

Artist: Downhere
Album: On the Altar of Love
Release Date: August 23rd, 2011
Style: Rock / Pop / Contemporary
Label: Centricity Music
Location: Canadians mostly living in America

Review:

Downhere’s newest effort, At The Altar of Love, will catch you off guard. In a time when many are turning and questioning the roots of their faith, Downhere is running away too – into the past. Embracing the roots of their faith and seeking to inspire others to do the same, their new effort lays down the foundation for faith in a new and inspiring way. Rediscover You is arguably one of the best tracks and you’ll find yourself singing it over and over again. Give this release your full attention, not just a passive listen, and go buy a copy. Heck, go buy two and give one to someone to bless them and encourage their faith. That’s exactly what Downhere would want you to do.
