Christian hard rock outfit Disciple rose out of Knoxville, Tennessee, in the mid-'90s, eventually breaking out with their Dove Award-nominated second album, 1999's This Might Sting a Little Bit. Over the following decade, their heavy alt-metal style continued to earn fans thanks to popular albums like Scars Remain and Southern Hospitality. By the 2010s, they'd also established themselves as a consistent crossover act, extending beyond the Christian charts onto Billboard's Hard Rock and Top 200 charts with releases like O God Save Us All and Attack. After a handful of crowd-funded projects, Disciple signed with Tooth & Nail at the end of the decade and released Love Letter Kill Shot in 2019.
