I’m a soldier Orthodox soldier I’m on the battlefield for my Lord Said I’m a soldier Orthodox soldier I’m on the battlefield for my Lord The weapons of my warfare are not carnal The target of my mission is not external An unseen warfare it’s internal Pulling down vain imaginations I’m a soldier Orthodox soldier I’m on the battlefield for my Lord Said I’m a soldier Orthodox soldier I’m on the battlefield for my Lord Around my waist the belt of truth Cross my chest the breastplate of righteousness Shoes on my feet the gospel of peace Shield of Faith protect me from the beast I’m a soldier Orthodox soldier I’m on the battlefield for my Lord Said I’m a soldier Orthodox soldier I’m on the battlefield for my Lord Overcoming darkness of ignorance The spirit of this world from the evil one Everyday I’m fighting to take control Gain Christ mind to save my soul I’m a soldier Orthodox soldier I’m on the battlefield for my Lord Said I’m a soldier Orthodox soldier I’m on the battlefield for my Lord

about

This album is a spiritual trumpet proclaiming praise to the Highest for the wisdom of Creation, warning of the unseen warfare of spiritual struggle, the glory of Mother Zion and the victory of good over evil in the resurrection of her Son

This is underpinned by heavy and positively pulsating bass lines and mystical melodies ina steppers and one drop style from roots reggae producer and selector I-niverse. The title track 'Song of Creation' is further enhanced by the smooth, mesmerising backing vocals of Amelia Harmony and the soul stirring guitar plucks and rifts from the maestro himself, Tuff Lion. Congas on 'Orthodox Soldier' is provided by Mighty Drop out of the Netherlands while Don Hartley provides his own haunting backing vocals on 'The Third day'. A must for roots reggae collectors.

Tuff Lion: a past member of Midnite, the backing band of acclaimed roots reggae artist, Akae Beka (Vaughn Benjamin) and is also a recording artist in his own right with well acclaimed releases to his name.

Amelia Harmony: a UK-based artist well known on the roots reggae and dub circuit for her sweet harmonic melodies coupled with conscious vibrations. Her collaboration with roots reggae stalwart Earl Sixteen on Mamma is ever memorable.

I-niverse: UK-based selector and roots, reggae dub producer having releases with the likes of Earl 16, Amelia Harmony, Sista Sherin, Zion Irie and Murray Man’s Mellow Vibes Label as well as with myself Don Hartley. He is now currently working on numerous projects with artists both from the UK and overseas.

Don Hartley: Jamaican Roots Reggae artist from a Rastafarian background in the Twelve Tribes of Israel now stepping it as an Orthodox Christian in the United Kingdom.

His musical journey has acquired him some of the most philosophical roots anthems that easily recommend him as a truly unique purveyor of the genre. With a career spanning over three decades, he has successfully teamed up with the likes of Manchester UK's Nucleus Roots to produce some truly conscious and teachable roots reggae classics like 'Run Come Quick', 'Deep Roots', 'Irie Meditation' and 'Step It Up Rasta'.

Works with other producers include 'Let Your Light Shine' (2018) with Creation Fam out of Paris, 'Rivers of Babylon' (2018) with Lewis Bennett Dubs as well as 'Power and Glory' and 'Envy Not' with Rod Chaplin’s MessenJah Music label (2021-22). His latest project is 'Causeless Shall Not Come' produced by Mikey Dub (California) appearing on the Dubophonics Record label out of Cyprus.
