This album was 100% done by Ashley and Cody, the two members of Mended. Cody wrote all the music, trying to match the emotional draw Ashley brought with each lyric and note she put into the songs.
Genres tend to break down as you listen to the album in its entirety because of the massive variation of musical influences behind each of them.
This album did not exactly start out as most albums did, over the coarse of a few years, the two wrote and wrote and one day realized they not only had enough to put on an album but realized God had led their songs in a direction in which made them all fit together, to tell a story.
Money has never been a basis for this duo. Rather than paying to have someone else's ideas come into the final product, each bit of Triumphant is 100% Mended from the first note of the album itself to the artwork. More time was spent on this, with more than little to work with than most people would understand and the only conclusion that these two could come up with is that God has His hand in it the entire way and are totally stoked to have all who are able to hear the songs He provided.
This is an album that was a long time in the making but well worth the wait.
