Lead singer Jennifer Benson said: “It’s an honour to remake such an iconic song as We Will Rock You’ by Queen. I met Les Carlsen of Bloogood at a festival in Germany and afterwards I reached out to him to see if he’d like to be featured on this song. Grateful to a legend in Christian rock, Les, for being on this, and thank you to Jeremy Valentyne and Brandon Wolfe of New Years Day for everything.”

The band’s first album, Fight In Me, released in November 2023 via Frontiers Music Srl, was produced by Jeremy Valentyne and Brandon Wolfe of the band New Years Day.
Ignescent has opened for numerous bands, including Stryper, Megadeth and Buckcherry, and played various festival dates.

Benson commented on that track: “It was an honour to remake this song by such a legendary Christian Rock band, Petra. When I was a teenager, I decided to follow Jesus and since then it has been a calling on my life to share His love through music. I am very thankful to be able to do that and to be a part of this band”.
