Be One of Us #43 - "Man of Faith"

Tweet

It's a 50-song music countdown, in random order, consisting entirely of songs with "of" in the title. And for #43, we have the newest song in the series, beating an upcoming tune by a mere six months: "Man of Faith" by Beauty in Chaos. Who? I can see you back there, with a big, illuminated question mark over your head, and that's perfectly understandable. Beauty in Chaos is not so much a band as it is a project, the brainchild of Michael Ciravolo, former guitarist for goth/alternative rock band Human Drama, as well as Gene Loves Jezebel. The project's September, 2018 debut album, Finding Beauty in Chaos, is a star-studded effort, with Ciravolo utilizing some heavy hitters. Check out some of the notable participants: Al Jourgensen (Ministry,) Michael Aston (Gene Loves Jezebel,) Ice-T, Doug (dUg) Pinnick (Kings X,) Wayne Hussey (The Mission,) Robin Zander (Cheap Trick,) Simon Gallup (The Cure,) Michael Anthony (Van Halen,) Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society.) Other than a T-Rex cover performed by Jourgensen, Ciravolo co-wrote the songs with the featured performer(s,) and played on the tunes. As you can surmise from the diverse list of guests, the album's style varies from song to song. "Man of Faith" features Wayne Hussey, leader/vocalist/rhythm guitarist of my favorite band, The Mission, and long-time Cure bassist Simon Gallup. And as such, I automatically dug it before I even heard it. It lived up to my expectations. As if there were any doubt. (Info verified by Wikipedia)
