The debut album by the Faithful Church raised a few eyebrows when it was first released in 2003.

The highlight of the CD, however, is the Song of the Lamb which features the singing of Tortelvis from Dread Zeppelin. This reggae tune received airplay on Internet radio and was the Faithful Church’s closest run at becoming a household name. The rest of the album does have some good grooves, but the last track on the CD, Leeway into Heaven, captures the comical theme of the band and its disturbing messages. Tortelvis’ voice is also featured on this track. As for the band, Jose Sanchez’s drumming is sound, and Jon Taylor’s voice is featured.
