Eternal
Ignescent
Eternal is the second full‑length album by Chicago Christian hard‑rock/modern‑metal band Ignescent, released March 20, 2026 on Frontiers Music. Fronted by vocalist Jennifer Benson with Andre Leon on guitar, Mikey Green on bass, and Kohl Coryell on drums, the record condenses their sound into 10 tracks and about 34 minutes of tightly written, radio‑ready pop‑metal—downtuned riffs and punchy drums supporting big, clean vocal hooks. Lyrically, it leans into themes of faith, trauma, anxiety, and resilience, drawing on Benson’s own experiences while keeping the messages broadly accessible rather than preachy.
The tracklist runs “Joker,” “Scream,” “Fight For Me,” “Fearless,” “Shame Shadow,” “Our Love Dies,” “Light Up The Night,” “In/Alone In The Dark” (title varies by edition), “Chariot Of Fire” (featuring Sevendust’s Clint Lowery), and the closing title track “Eternal.” Up‑tempo songs like “Scream,” “Fight For Me,” “Fearless,” and “Joker” hit with mechanised, drop‑tuned guitars and chant‑along choruses about defiance and standing your ground, while ballads such as “Light Up The Night,” “Our Love Dies,” and “Alone In The Dark” slow things down to spotlight Benson’s controlled, emotive delivery and the band’s melodic instincts. Reviewers consistently highlight the album’s catchy songwriting and polished production, likening Ignescent’s blend of heaviness and pop sheen to bands like Flyleaf, Skillet, Evanescence, and Halestorm, and framing Eternal as a potential breakout statement that could push them beyond the Christian‑metal niche.
