Convictions is an American Christian metalcore band from Ohio. The band was started in 2012. Convictions consisted of Vocalists Michael Felker, Bassist and Vocalist John Fleischmann, Guitarist Joshua Canode, and Drummer Zachary Schwochow. 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. 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. This lead 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
