We don't have one set sound, but most of our sound is fixed mainly on blues flavored heavey rock, as well as very deep roots in praise and worship.
Midst of Lions was conceived in the hearts and minds of its members in 2004. Midst of Lions is a ministry and their main desire is to be a tool for God and an asset to His Kingdom. Their mission is to speak victory into the lives of God’s people, and minister to them so that they may experience the true presence of God.
Since its inception Midst of Lions has released three independent projects. In 2005 God inspired, “For Your Consideration”. This freshman project served as a statement of giving one’s life over to God, and standing firm on His Word, and His promises. Following the lead of God, Midst of Lions came back with their 2006 sophomore project, “Now and Tomorrow”, which featured rerecorded tracks as well as some new material. This project, which also featured the debut of new vocalist Susan McDonald, showcased the band with more of a rock sound although still featured the bands ability and hunger for worship. Rerecorded songs like This Is Life To Me, which received some radio airplay, and For Your Consideration are songs about going against the flow, and standing firm on God. The recording also featured the song Restore Me, which also found some radio airplay, and was a song about asking forgiveness and entering The Throne Room.
God was doing some amazing things with Midst of Lions and in 2007 their latest project, “Along For The Ride” was released. This release featured the debut of bassist Ron Kelley, and at the time of the release the band would also add David Arnold on drums. Along For the Ride as an album introduced the defined rock sound of the band and married it with the exploration of country, blues, and praise and worship.
Midst of Lions has quickly developed a fan base and has quickly become a headliner in the Metro-Detroit area. Most recently the band has added Tim Singleton on drums, as earlier this year David Arnold joined the Marines. Midst of Lions’ music has been featured on the Detour Detroit Radio Show, The Metro Voice Radio Program, and in the UK on Flame FM. Midst of Lions is a premier independent artist with a top ten charting single on Indie Heaven’s Fan Faves. Recently the band expanded its horizon, and as a promotional support for their latest project, found themselves ministering outside the United States. Midst of Lions is willing to go wherever God leads them; in essence, Midst of Lions is a ministry.
