The Irish worship band Rend Collective has exciting news for their fans. This Oct. 7, they are going to release their new album called "Campfire II: Simplicity," which contains a whole bunch of new tracks.
The album will also contain a compilation of hit tracks from their previous albums "The Art of Celebration" and "As Family We Go," as well as a cover of Hillsong UNITED's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)," the band announced in a press statement.
"The vision behind this project is so near to our hearts," the band said of their new album. "We long to see outsiders invited in, hope restored to the hopeless, rest for the cynics and revival for God's people. We can't wait to share these songs with you. We're praying they encourage, equip and speak life to all who hear them."
Rend Collective — comprised of members Gareth Gilkeson, Chris Llewellyn, Ali Gilkeson, Patrick Thompson and Stephen Mitchell — all come from Northern Ireland. They catapulted to fame after the release of their first single "Build Your Kingdom Here."
The first album released by the band is called the "Organic Family Hymnal." Rend Collective has really come a long way since then because they have now sold over 428,000 albums.
Just recently, the band went on the OUTCRY: Summer 2016 Tour together with other Christian groups and singers such as Hillsong Worship, Hillsong Young & Free, Kari Jobe, and many more.
The group earlier wrote on its blog that they consider themselves as part of the "family of God," even though they all have different backgrounds and personalities.
"He calls us His sons and daughters, and calls himself our Father. We're His people, the heirs of His inheritance. The family of God is an unlikely and wildly diverse group of people bound by Blood, and committed to pushing through the frustrations and joys of what it is to be messy, sinful humans," they said.
