Damn The Rest’s new single, “Embers” is a raw and powerful piece of music that demands your attention from the first note. Led by Canadian artist Ismael Gonzalez, this Christian rock project takes a deeply personal turn with a song that explores faith, loss, and self-discovery.
Stripped down to just an acoustic guitar and Gonzalez’s haunting vocals, this song is as intimate as it gets. The minimalistic production allows the emotion to shine through, making every word hit harder. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of regret, redemption, and transformation. It’s a song that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable.
This is his first release since converting to Catholicism in 2024, and it’s clear that his faith journey has had a profound impact on his sound and storytelling. We think “Embers” is a stunning and honest song. The raw emotion in Gonzalez’s voice and the simplicity of the arrangement make it unforgettable. We can’t wait to hear more from Damn The Rest in the future.
