    Disciple's third full-length is By God. Their music is a heavy mix of groovy metal and rap-like vocals. It's not at all like rapcore. The foundation this band lays down is a metallic one. It's groovy. And besides rapping there is also a lot of normal singing, like in Can't Breathe. Disciple is also a band on a mission. Their lyrics are plain and there are even short liner notes telling what each song's about. A cool thing is that this album contains an extra disc to give to someone else. The extra disc has three songs from By God. The album also ends with an acoustic piece and singer Kevin Young delivering the Christian message. This is done quite emotively, American style, that doesn't appeal to me though. Sometimes it happens that a band with such a mission neglects the musical vehicle for their message. Not so with Disciple. That's evident on this album as the music is well produced, heavy and in-your-face. And it has 19 songs with a total of more than 70 minutes. Cool!
