The Deconversion Record

HEATHEN
HYMNS

Victoria “Vixen” Rae is what happens when the church girl reads the fine print and comes back with a fuzz guitar.

Victoria “Vixen” Rae

Blues-rock apostate. Bisexual firebrand. Ex-church girl who read the fine print, found the blood between the lines, and came back with a fuzz guitar and zero apologies.

HEATHEN HYMNS is the record that comes after. Not a crisis of faith. A crisis of honesty. It follows the arc from the front pew to the highway with the match still smoking. Faith, Fracture, Freedom. Thirteen tracks. No filler. No resolution that lets anybody off the hook.

Her problem is the pulpit, not the pew. Her fire is aimed at control, hypocrisy, fear dressed up as love, and every institution that told women to shrink, queer kids to hide, and survivors to stay quiet. Welcome to the new congregation.

Now she’s the reason
the pulpit checks
the exits.”

The Hymns

HEATHEN HYMNS follows the collapse of fear-based faith in three acts: Faith, Fracture, Freedom. It starts in the front pew and ends outside the church doors. Thirteen tracks. No full lyrics here. Just enough smoke to know the building is burning.

01

Sunday’s Daughter

The good-girl origin story. White dress, front pew, dynamite in the ribs. She was raised to be small. She had other plans.

Faith — Entrance
02

Read It For Myself

The spell breaks when she opens the book they kept on the highest shelf. The blood between the lines is hard to unsee.

Faith — The Pivot
03

Forty Days

Doubt in the desert. No voice from the sky. No miracle. Just silence, and the slow work of figuring out what that means.

Fracture — Desert Blues
05

Whose Blood

Moral accounting for sacrifice theology. Someone always has to pay. She wants to know whose name gets lost in the smoke.

Fracture — Atonement Theory
06

Spare the Virgins

A grief song for the unnamed women erased by sacred violence. Numbers 31:18. They never wrote their names down. She remembers them.

Fracture — The Unnamed
08

Burn the Hymnal

The breakaway banger. She leaves the choir robe on the door and keeps walking. A wildfire with no intention of turning back.

Freedom — Liberation
09

Heathen

They threw the word like a stone. She tried it on and it fit like a coat. Call me heathen. She wears it like a crown now.

Freedom — Reclamation
11

Rage Bait

For every bigot who keeps clicking while pretending to be offended. She lives rent free in your head. Keep the engagement coming.

Freedom — Hard Rock
12

Not Your Object

Purity culture, male gaze, ownership, and every rule written on her body without her consent. She was never yours to name or break.

Freedom — Purity Culture
13

Heaven Was a Threat

Hell was a leash. Heaven was a threat. Fear finally loses. She cut the cord with shaking hands and found out what peace actually feels like. The irony of it all.

Freedom — Closer
