X-Sinner's influence in the Christian rock scene is significant. With a new album for X-Sinner, Going Out With a Bang! about to be released, Arin Rockman Hancock and Kris Plamondon dive into the music of X-Sinner, giving an overview of their three albums, discussing their favorite songs, and the band's history. They explore the evolution of X-Sinner's sound through their albums 'Get It', 'Peace Treaty', and 'World Covered in Blood', while also engaging with their listeners and sharing updates about new music in the rock and metal scene. Of course, they must discuss the secular comparisons, but also highlights the significance of X-Sinner in the Christian rock genre and of course reflects on the challenges faced by Christian artists in the mainstream music industry.
