In this gripping first installment of an 8-part YouTube series [1 of 8] on the Banana Island Films channel, we dive into the captivating world of Witness Underground, a documentary that explores the indie rock christian music scene that flourished within the confines of the Jehovah's Witness religion.
The film opens with a chilling audio snippet of a Jehovah's Witness leader delivering a sermon about divine genocide, setting the tone for what becomes a soundtrack to the end of the world. Against this backdrop, we're introduced to the key players of an underground indie alternative music community that defied the strict rules of their faith.
Meet Ryan and Rhett Sutter, brothers and co-founders of Nuclear Gopher music production studio, who spearheaded this indie rock record label community. We're also introduced to Eric and Cindy Elvendahl, a married couple whose bands Daytrip and Kloey respectively, contributed to this vibrant scene. Chad Rhiger, frontman of HighTV and later Ghost Army after leaving the religion, adds another layer to this complex narrative.
James Zimmerman, author of "Deliverance at Hand! Redemption of a Devout Jehovah's Witness," provides valuable context to the religious backdrop of this unique music culture.
This Christian music Rockumentary reveals how these artists created an entire music scene of 400-500 active Jehovah's Witnesses, producing over 30 albums across various bands over 16 years. As we explore the beliefs and society of the religion, we're treated to live performances, music videos, and the soundtrack of these Jehovah's Witness bands, offering a glimpse into their music for the end of the world.
Witness Underground is more than just a documentary; it's a testament to the power of independent rock music culture in the face of religious restrictions8. This first episode sets the stage for a deep dive into the dark side of Christian music and the resilience of artists creating in the shadow of apocalyptic beliefs.
