Disciple was formed in 1992 by friends Kevin Young, Brad Noah, Tim Barrett, and Adrian DiTommasi (who would leave the band shortly after inception) in an attempt to spread the gospel while playing the loud, metallic music they loved. Over the years, their style evolved into one similar to many secular alternative metal groups, as they toured churches, high schools, colleges, and similar venues. Their self-released debut, What Was I Thinking, came out in 1995, followed by an EP, My Daddy Can Whip Your Daddy, on Warner Resound in 1997. Their sophomore full-length effort, This Might Sting a Little Bit, followed two years later on Rugged Records. By God followed in 2001 on the same label.
2003's Back Again found the band on a new label, their own independent Slain Records. That year, the trio became a quartet with the addition of bassist Joey Fife to their lineup. The group signed with INO Records the following year and released a self-titled LP in June of 2005. Scars Remain arrived on Integrity in late 2006. After years of nominations, the album won the band their first Dove Award for Rock Album of the Year.
In 2008, Noah and Fife stepped down from the band and their spots were filled by bassist Israel Beachy and guitarists Andrew Welch and Micah Sannan. Southern Hospitality arrived later that year. Before their next release, founding drummer Tim Barrett would also part ways with Disciple, replaced by Trent Reiff. Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, Disciple's eighth LP, came out in April 2010. It topped the Christian chart and entered the Billboard Top 50. As the band's popularity grew, they embarked on a handful of tours with other top Christian acts like Thousand Foot Krutch and Skillet.
2012 saw the release of O God Save Us All, as well as a flurry of lineup changes. After four years with Disciple, Welch left the band to join Thousand Foot Krutch, while Sannan and Beachy were replaced by Josiah Prince (Philmont) and Jason Wilkes (High Flight Society). By early 2013, Reiff exited and was replaced by Joey West. Andrew Stanton also joined the band, leaving Young as the only original member.
The refreshed quintet forged ahead with the crowdfunded release of 2014's Attack, which became their highest Billboard 200 entry to date, peaking at number 44. Produced by longtime Disciple producer Travis Wyrick, Attack also rose to the number two spots on the Hard Rock and Christian charts. It would be the first and last album with Wilkes on bass, who left the band the next year. Vultures, a six-song EP recorded during the Attack sessions, was released at the end of 2015. Another EP, Live in Denmark, arrived the following year, accompanied by a series of concert videos from Denmark's RiverFest.
The band -- now a quartet -- issued another crowdfunded effort in 2016. Their 11th album, Long Live the Rebels, debuted at number 125, making it the group's sixth Billboard 200 entry to date. After signing with the Tooth & Nail label at the end of 2018, Disciple released their 12th full-length, Love Letter Kill Shot, in September 2019.

Face
Disciple Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have you ever, ever fell apart, ever told a lie
Have you ever, ever spilled a crumb, ever doubted Tom
Have you ever, pulled out your thumb, let the course run
Chastise, baptize, belt-feed, bring me your face
You are holy, Almighty, You are worthy,
Have you ever, ever had the faith, ever really prayed
Have you ever had a thrill, ever got your fill
Have you ever, ever shut it out, ever lost your doubt
Have you ever, pulled out your thumb, let the course run
The lyrics in Disciple's song "Face" are a call for spiritual introspection and self-reflection. The song begins with a series of questions that urge listeners to examine their own hearts and motivations. The phrase "crossed your heart, ever hoped to die" is often used as a solemn promise, but here it is challenged, asking listeners if they have truly kept their promises. The second line, "ever fell apart, ever told a lie" speaks to the frailty and untruthfulness of human nature. The third and fourth lines continue to pose moral questions, asking if the listener has ever doubted or covered up a mistake.
The chorus shifts the focus to the divine, declaring that God is holy, almighty, and worthy. It is a recognition that even though humanity falls short, there is still a higher power that is deserving of worship and adoration. The lines "you own me, bring me your face" suggest a desire to have a closer relationship with God and for Him to reveal Himself more fully to the listener.
The song ends with a repeat of the opening questions, but with an added emphasis on faith, prayer, and perseverance. It is a reminder that even though the Christian journey can be challenging, the reward of knowing God is worth it.
