Convictions is an American Christian metalcore band from Ohio.[4] The band was started in 2012. Convictions consisted of Vocalists Michael Felker, Bassist and Vocalist John Fleischmann, Guitarist Joshua Canode, and Drummer Zachary Schwochow.[5] The band describes their genre as a style they've created called Aggressive Worship which is an emotional mix of spirit filled hardcore and ambiance.[6] Shortly after the band formed, they released their first effort I Am Nothing in 2012. With the departure of original vocalist Dan Gardner, the band quickly followed up with their “Unworthy” EP in late 2013. In 2015, the band released Hallowed Spirit | Violent Divide which charted on #6 in the Top 100 Heavy Metal Albums on iTunes.[7] This led to their signing to Invogue Records and their debut album I Will Become in 2016. The band has stated they have finished their sophomore album in the fall of 2017 and is expected to release in 2018
