Song of the Day – My Throat Is An Open Grave (Demon Hunter Month. Lyrics Included + Acoustic) From Self-Titled Album (2002)

My Throat Is An Open Grave by Demon Hunter is a song from their first, debut full-length album, 2002′s self-titled “Demon Hunter”.

One of Demon Hunter’s most acclaimed ballads, a critical hit and among their most beloved songs, Demon Hunter’s first ever “all-singing” tune hails from the band’s 2002 debut self-titled album. And boy did it set the bar high. My Throat Is An Open Grave (taken from a verse in Psalms of the Bible “Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit”) is bar-none one of the best songs Demon Hunter has ever written. The vocals, verses, lyrics, music and tone in the song are amazing throughout. It’s an emotional song and has a really weighty feel to it that elevates the song to very high levels (as well as an awesome intro). The song is also very unique, and features that harsh, twisted tone that Demon Hunter is known for, even without growled vocals. Now that is a feat indeed. The chorus is absolutely amazing as well and it ends beautifully.

Lyrics:

We lay face
Down in pale solitude
To save face
We pulled our walls in front of you
To the same place
Where we danced in front of you
We fell from grace
And watched the hope fall from your face

This isn’t me I used to say
All the love was so gone
It feels good to be alive
I’ve been dead for so long

And all those broken promises
I can’t face
Afraid if someone notices
I lose my place
Fractured, broken, paralyzed
I need some space
Tear me open, analyze

This isn’t me I used to say
All the love was so gone
It feels good to be alive
I’ve been dead for so long

Wake up screaming
I’m awake and dreaming
And I won’t stop breathing
‘Til my heart stops beating

This isn’t me
I used to say
All the love was so gone

All the love was so gone

It feels good to be alive
I’ve been dead for so long.

Additionally, here is the acoustic version of this incredible song, which was featured as a bonus on the special edition version of Demon Hunter’s The Triptych album, alongside acoustic versions of “My Heartstrings Come Undone” and “The Tide Began to Rise”. The acoustic version of My Throat Is An Open Grave is just as beautiful as you’d imagine it being, although I prefer the original version personally. Both are great.

About Demon Hunter Month
January 2013 is dedicated to the Christian metal band Demon Hunter, arguably my favorite band; and will feature songs from their entire catalog featured daily throughout the month, one a day. Whether you like metal, believe in God or not, check these songs out as you may be pleasantly surprised and hopefully you will discover some new-to-your-ears music to enjoy. Demon Hunter’s sound is extremely diverse, not all songs feature screams and growls, some are slow, sung ballads; others are heartfelt, all are deep with powerful lyrics that will make you think and ponder, as the sound takes you away.

Metal Song of the Day – I Have Seen Where It Grows (Demon Hunter Month. Lyrics Included) From 2002 Self-Titled Album

06 Jan

I Have Seen Where It Grows by Demon Hunter is a song from their 2002 self-titled debut album.

I Have Seen Where It Grows starts off with a very cool intro and clips along at a pretty quick clip vocally. It is a very heavy song as well, classic Demon Hunter, with a very cool singable chorus and an extremely heavy outro that absolutely rocks your face off. The verses are very strong as well, and overall this is one of the strongest tracks on Demon Hunter’s 2002 self-titled debut album. I love the drumming on this track, and it remains among my favorite Demon Hunter songs in the bands 10 year history. This is the second track on the 10-track debut album. “I Have Seen Where It Grows” features a line that served as the title of Demon Hunter’s first Compilation album, “Death, A Destination“, which featured their self-titled, Summer of Darkness and Triptych albums. The line goes like this, “Life is a path. Death a destination.”

Lyrics:

A shell for the earth, all seasons reverse.
A life inside out in a jet-black hearse.

The feel of pain and the taste of dirt.
A darkened sky and the loss of worth.
Lower me down under glorious green.
Eternity waits on a broken machine.
Exit the soul in a vibrant white.
Leaving the shell in the dead of night.

Life is a path,
Death a destination.
I’ve met the end of being, my eyes are open wide.
I feel myself depleting, and watch my body die.

A step to the throne, I stand alone.
A vacant mind and a destined home.
Engaging the end in a seamless gaze.
Like blind I climb through the tortured blaze.
Raise me up into white unstained
Eternity gained only life remains.
Forever the scars have been washed away
Like blood on the brow of a forgotten day

Life is a path, Death a destination.

I’ve met the end of being, my eyes are open wide.
I feel myself depleting, and watch my body die.
DIE!

Song Video of the Day – Infected By 12 Stones (From Upcoming Album Beneath the Scars)

15 May

New 12 Stones song Infected is a headbanger that can hang with the best of them, and offers some absolutely fantastic lyrics.

The song also goes well with the whole zombie-apocalypse hysteria that has gripped the entertainment world recently, with many calling for “Infected” to be used in an episode of AMC’s “The Walking Dead” zombie TV show series.

Infected though also returns 12 Stones to a lyrical style that is more intune with their Christian roots, which will come as a pleasant surprise for longtime listeners of the band, who went in a more mainstream direction since their debut self-titled album in 2002.

12 Stones and their new “Beneath the Scars” album will be released on May 22nd, 2012 on the EMG label, and marks the bands 4th full-length album since their 2002 debut. Which is crazy, seems like they had more albums than that. Their debut self-titled album dropped in 2002, with their Sophomore effort, Potter’s Field, hitting in 2004 and their previous album, Anthem for the Underdog, dropping in 2007.

Now give a look at “Infected” by 12 Stones, and head out to pre-order 12 Stones Beneath the Scars! You can also pre-order 12 Stones Beneath the Scars Bundle packs with other goodies.

Song Video of the Day – God of Nothing (Lyrics Video) by MyChildren MyBride From Self-Titled Album

08 May

MyChildren MyBride God of Nothing From Self-titled Album (art)

The extremely creepy “God of Nothing” by Christian metal band MyChildren MyBride.

MyChildren, MyBride’s God of Nothing, a song from their self-titled album released last March, is an extremely powerful, eerie song that demonstrates to me that Christian metal bands can be just as effective at instilling fear and terror, as any secular band can.

This song truly will make the hairs on your neck standup, and is extremely thought-provoking as well. I love how MyChildren MyBride encorporated horror-style sounds and a pervasive sense of fear into this song.

If you haven’t heard MyChildren MyBride before, then be prepare yourself for a very creepy ride. And buy MyChildren MyBride at Amazon to support this awesome band and add the new album to your collection!

This is an album I really wanted to pre-order before it came out, having enjoyed their initial debut album. I’ve seen them in concert twice, and liked their first album quite a bit. However I never got around to hearing their second album. So this self-titled one will be my re-introduction to the band.

MyChildren MyBride was established in 2004, having previously been called “Stars Are Falling”. Their debut album was Unbreakable, released in 2007 on Solid State Records. The album was produced by Joey Sturgis of The Devil Wears Prada and mixed by Adam Dutkiewicz (aka Adam D.) of Killswitch Engage. This album had a Halo tribute song called “Headshot” that turned quite a few heads. Their next album was called “Lost Boy” and released in 2008. Finally, their third and newest album, self-titled, was released on March 13th, 2012.

Song of the Day and Lyrics – The Gauntlet (Demon Hunter) from Self-Titled

19 Mar

The original Demon Hunter (Band Pic, Self-titled Debut Album)

Demon Hunter's self-titled debut album band pic from the back cover.

The Gauntlet by Demon Hunter, lyrics included below, from their Self-titled debut album (2002) is probably one of their most overlooked and underappreciated songs ever. The piece is REALLY unique for the band, as there is nothing else they’ve recorded that is quite like it.

If you enjoy this article and song please like it at the top of the website and share it on Facebook and Twitter, I’d greatly appreciate it! And leave a comment if you’re so inclined. :)

The song is played extremely slow, and is a “ballad” (what the band calls their “slow” songs), but has a kind of menacing quality to it that is very interesting indeed. A sense of depression pervades from beginning to end. Overall it is one of my favorite Demon Hunter tracks, and is one of their longest songs, clocking in at nearly seven minutes. I love the drums at the end, by far my favorite part of the song.

The Gauntlet Lyrics:

I hold you in…
Like a DEEP BREATH….
Feel you like… the last beautiful…TOUCH…
Before a final REST
I know I’ll see you forever…
I want it painted BLACK AND RED

It’s so beautiful to me…
It is everything I see…..
It’s so beautiful to me…
But it’s nothing that I NEED

And I can’t taste… anything less….
Every time I’m forced DOWN

To be with yourself…
Take all the blood you WANT
But not me….from here…..

It’s so beautiful to me…
It is everything I see…..
It’s so beautiful to me…
But it’s nothing that I NEED

Not a HAND
not a FINGER….

This is my HOME
I’m dying HERE

I hide in the CORNER….

That look on your FACE…
I’m ACCUSTOMED TO IT……….

——————

Behind the Song – The Gauntlet (By Ryan Clark, lead vocalist of Demon Hunter and writer of all their material)
“This song is about holding onto something despite the harmful effects it may have on your life. It paints a picture of growing accustomed to something to the degree that it manifests itself into an action of second nature. Some things that we do consistently, we become numb to. This song speaks about realizing the destructive power of these things, and taking action to become effected by them once again.” – Ryan Clark, Demon Hunter
