(Nashville, TN) December 19, 2002- Ardent Records’ power trio Justifide releases its sophomore project, The Beauty Of The Unknown, amidst critical acclaim on Christmas Eve early next week.

Though a young band, media are taking note of Justifide’s mature sound, lyrically and musically. Here is what some of the reviewers are saying:

“To say Justifide have stepped it up a notch on this release would be a huge understatement. The Beauty Of The Unknown finds this rock trio totally evolved… Everything is about this record is more mature and more experimental. Acoustic guitars, pianos, etc. abound on The Beauty of The Unknown and this band is without doubt one to watch in 2003!” – 1340mag.com

“With this, their second release, the band proves they have musical talents and wisdom well beyond their earthly years. While the musicianship takes a back seat to no one, the belle of the ball is the lyrics. They hit many of everyday life problems head on and challenge you to live a life of true faith… I put this CD in the definitely must buy category.” – Christian Rockers Online

“The band… shows obvious maturity, both lyrically and musically. Their hardcore sound is tighter and more rhythmic than their highly successful debut album… Packed with emotion and brimming with talent, The Beauty Of The Unknown is unique and powerful. Justifide has taken their God-given talents and produced a truly beautiful album.” – ChristianBeats.org

“The young Arizona trio bears a sound easily comparable to a hybrid of P.O.D. and Creed and is suitable for fans of such artists… Justifide’s message is crystal clear. Their passions are obvious. Their lyrics are honest and real… They definitely have what it takes to rock… and they have it all in spades.” – JesusFreakHideout.com

To celebrate the album’s release and the radio success of the first single, “To Live,” which is currently at No. 6 on R&R’s Christian Rock Chart and climbing, the band will return to its roots in Phoenix, AZ for a special performance and release party. Taking place at Mountain Park Community Church on January 10 at 7:00 PM MST, the event will also feature performances by Anthem and 3RD E FS. The band will further giveaway merchandise and other Justifide memorabilia at the event.

“The people in Phoenix have never been short of amazing to us. I don’t know where we would be today without their support,” says Justifide lead singer, Jason Moncivaiz. “Our friends in Phoenix will always have our loyalty, and we will never be ashamed to call Phoenix our home. We are looking forward to seeing everybody there on January 10!”

The visit to Phoenix is the first of a series of tour dates the band has scheduled in California, Washington, and Oregon throughout January and February, marking the band’s first visit to the West Coast in over a year.

Addressing the all too real issues of young people, The Beauty Of The Unknown is all about keeping it real. With an unprecedented desire to reach out to fans, Justifide touches on subjects relevant to young people including love, hypocrisy, relationships, fakeness, and most importantly the joy that comes in living for God. That honest connection is where the band fleshes out its message, from on the stage and off. Committed to meeting with fans around its performances and interact with them at its website, the band is serious about spreading its message of hope.
