"Like the anticipation of a lightning strike, or the smell of rain, some experiences just cannot be put into words. They are too powerful and overwhelming to be justified in speech or text. Only those who have felt the intensity of these moments could understand what they really are. Such is D.O.G.S. of Pray. Once they begin their plotted notes of musical theatrics, something happens that must be felt, must be lived through, and must be remembered to be understood. With a decadent flavoring of heaviness, seasoned with gothic tones, and topped with a theatric crust, this juggernaut of chaotic beauty seems to be fueled by something otherworldly. D.O.G.S. of Pray hail from the state of Virginia, and tour across the nation. Fronting vocalists, Henley (male), and Bobbi Folk (female), call out in siren enchantments and haunting verses, as they vocally duel and melt in the many masterful songs. Bassist Doug Zirk gives a deep march of war crunch to the cement cracking heavy riffs thundered out by guitarists Tom Meadows and Eddie Folk. Drummer Eric Walter hammers machine like beats of orchestrated complexity to tie everything together. Some songs have the additional gifts of a keyboard and an industrial bell. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of D.O.G.S. of Pray is that they are entirely made up of Christians, who come with a message of faith, hope, and love. Far from your grandmother’s Christianity of clean cut brow beating self righteousness, they seek to bring Christianity back to its original audience: the meek, the lost, and the oppressed. For far too many people, the word "Christian" has come to mean bigot, and hypocrite, but D.O.G.S. of Pray are working to redefine it into what it should mean: Love and service to God."
