Perhaps one of the hottest worship bands right now, Rend Collective is revolutionizing the way we view worship music. Their style and approach towards praising and worshipping God is a breath of fresh air into a dwindling aspect of a Christian's life. Starting off as an experiment, Rend Collective have taken their purpose and mission statement, added some folk style to it, and created some thing God inspired.

One of the reasons this album is so special is the attitude behind the band that created it. Originally, the group started off in Northern Ireland as a bunch of young folk striving for a new church experience. "We wanted to push the boundaries because our God is not safe or small: He has a wild imagination." Ultimately, the group wanted something real, something authentic. Through their worship music, as well as prayer and missions movements, they started to rediscover God, and help others open their eyes along the way.

The Art of Celebration is the next step in Rend Collective's journey. The album aims to reveal Rend Collective's true aims as a band; celebration. The album is meant to rejoice in the Lord's strength, and revel in His power. And true enough to their aim, the album does just that, with style and flair. From rocking, feet stomping My Lighthouse, to passionate worship song Boldly I Approach, the album is filled with hits. Not only does the album have a collection of hits, the nice thing about Rend Collective is that all of their supporting songs also stick true to the band's original sound. More Than Conquerors, Joy, and All That I Am may not pack the same punch as the two formerly mentioned headliners, but they still support the album in major ways.
