Alter the Cause

By: Scott Anthony Stevens

Narrated by: Michael Bridges

Alter the Cause is not a band biography. It is a witness. Written by Scott Anthony Stevens, this audiobook documents the true story behind the music, faith under pressure, conviction without shortcuts, and the cost of choosing integrity when momentum would have been easier.

Told across five volumes, Alter the Cause traces the origins, fractures, collapse, and rebuilding of a post-grunge hard-rock band that refused to treat belief as performance or pain as branding. From early ambition and near burnout to silence, restraint, and clarity, this is a story about confronting the root instead of managing the symptoms. This audiobook is intentionally measured and reflective. It does not rush doubt, soften tension, or package faith for approval. Instead, it presents belief as it is lived, questioned, tested, and practiced when certainty fades, and applause disappears.

Released alongside a companion album, Alter the Cause offers listeners the context behind the songs. The music carries the sound of the journey. This audiobook carries the weight behind it. Ideal for listeners drawn to rock music, faith-driven storytelling, and honest personal narratives, Alter the Cause is a grounded account of resilience, purpose, and alignment. Nothing used. Nothing wasted.
