Christian music’s top-selling, top-touring and multi-platinum artist Casting Crowns recently shot a powerful new music video for its song “Slow Fade”, the first video from the band’s blockbuster third album The Altar And The Door.

Casting Crowns pictured on-set of new music video shoot for “Slow Fade” [L-R]: John Erwin and Andy Erwin (Erwin Brothers); band members Hector Cervantes, Megan Garrett, Mark Hall, Andy Williams, Juan DeVevo, Melodee DeVevo, Chris Huffman; Mike Jay, Proper Management and Jason McArthur, VP of A&R for Provident Label Group

Produced and directed by the Erwin Brothers, the “Slow Fade” music video was shot in Birmingham, AL., and features crashing pianos and stained glass windows complete with the heart wrenching story of a deteriorating family.

The song, which features vocals from lead singer Mark Hall’s daughter Reagan, was “inspired by the spreading cancer of moral failure in the fathers of this generation,” Hall said. The video tells the story of a family slowly fading because of compromising decisions they have made. Hall adds, “As believers, we must guard our hearts and understand that no one crashes and burns, they just slowly fade away, one little compromise at a time.” The video will be available by April 30th.

The Altar And The Door is available at Christian retailers across Canada.
