Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest is the third studio album by American metalcore band Zao on Solid State/Tooth & Nail.
It was the first album to feature vocalist Dan Weyandt after the departure of Shawn Jonas along with new bassists/guitarists, Russ Cogdell and Brett Detar.
The album contains a sample from the film The Shining at the end of "Lies of Serpents, A River of Tears", as well as a sample from the horror film The Prophecy during the intro to "Ravage Ritual".
[7] The song "To Think Of You Is To Treasure An Absent Memory", deals with the suffering, and untimely deaths of Weyandt's friends and stepbrother.
[1][7] "Lies of Serpents" and "Ravage Ritual" both deal with hypocrisy in the Christian church.
