Is Hammer to the Cross AI?

Jared Holm of Iron Faith Records told Futurism: “All content is human generated, wrote, and composed with AI only assisting social media content.” He said the artists are real people and declined to share studio footage.

Spotify shows a “Likely AI Persona” badge on the artist profile. The badge text reads: “Spotify has applied this label because this artist reached the minimum audience for review and signals suggest their public identity may be AI-generated.” Spotify says the badge concerns the artist’s public identity, not how the music was made.

Deezer’s page for “You Cant Take My Jesus” (Oct 18, 2026) shows the “AI-generated content” notice: “This album includes tracks detected as generated with the use of AI.” “WHEN THE AMEN GETS HARD” (Oct 3, 2026) carries the same notice. A control album by a human act (Daft Punk, Discovery) showed no notice in the same check.

Futurism described Hammer to the Cross’s lead singer as “portrayed via AI-generated imagery”, reported that an email address on RAVNLORE’s Facebook page also appears on Hammer to the Cross’s page, and that the act is on the roster of Iron Faith Records, whose president is Jared Holm. Futurism called Holm’s denial “pretty thin”.
