Why this name?
The story behind the name... Most people furrow their collective brow at the bands name. The true story of the origin is more humorous than deep, but theres a lot more to the name than just fun. "The meaning of the word peace in Greek is the knitting-together, the unification of what has been broken and unraveled and disrupted. It means wholeness. In fact, in Hebrew, its almost a synonym for the meaning of salvation, which means deliverance, oneness, wholeness and unification." - L.J.Ogilvie, the Magnificent Vision The band is all about taking back that which has been broken. The music and the message are meant to give hope and peace to the people who experience it.
