O God Save Us All is the ninth critically acclaimed album from Christian metal group Disciple released on November 13, 2012 in CD & Digital format. The first single released was the song "Draw The Line", which hit No. 45 in the Billboard Christian Songs chart. The album shares a Hard Rock sound, alike the albums Disciple and Back Again. It brings full energy in some of the songs, and has some soft-rock songs. The cover artwork features the Chi Rho image.
The album debuted No. 5 in the Billboard Christian Albums chart and No. 9 in the Hard Rock chart.
The studio recording was announced in early 2012: "About to go into the studio to work on some new stuff. Who's ready for some new Disciple jams?!".
On April 2, it was posted that they will be writing some new songs because their "4thirty1" tour was canceled and they would have more time to record. Two months later, a picture was published in their Instagram account which showed the band members in a photo shoot in Nashville.
On September 21, it was announced that new pre-sales packages are coming soon. They also announced the end of 4 Nights Live In California video sales.
On September 30, the pre-sale packaging was released for download, which included three songs. The rest of the album was made available three days before its release. The pre-sale deal included "Draw the Line", "O God Save Us All", and "Outlaws".
Days after the disc announcement, six Pre-Sale packages were available, Package "A", "B", "C", "D", "E," and the "Ultimate Fan" package Each Pre-Sale Pack included the digital download, but the biggest pack included a phone call from the band's leader Kevin Young, the Digital Download, the CD signed, a hat and a shirt exclusive between other things. The Pre-Sale packagings were available for three weeks, and all of them, had a special cost for a Live Stream Concert, made the night before the album releasing. Disciple also made a "Release Party", to celebrate the new album release worldwide.
Alt Rock Live's Jonathan Faulkner noted that " Musically there's something for every generation of Disciple fans" because "The instrumentation may also surprise some long time listeners" showing that "Lyrically Disciple continues to age like a fine wine." Faulkner wrote that "...with the release of O God Save Us All Kevin Young and Disciple have once again proven their staying power." Faulkner concluded with saying that "If you're looking for both a powerful and moving addition to your music collection look no further than Disciples latest O God Save Us All. It should keep old fans satisfied and draw in new and make a good addition to any collection."
