End This Day-Sleeping Beneath The Ashes Of Creation

This is another band that only had one release but it is amazing here is a bio I took from the myspace......

''Endthisday formed in Wisconsin in November of 1999 with the goal of showing audiences in the hardcore scene that metal has a place on the dance floor. Blending the melody of European metal with the energy of American hardcore in a unique way, endthisday forges a new path for metal in the hardcore world. Combining blistering speed picking, massive breakdowns, catchy sing-alongs, and other well-rounded elements into their music, they create levels of intensity rarely achieved by others.

endthisday recorded their first demo CD in March of 2000. For the next year, they played a number of shows throughout the Midwest in support of this CD, sharing the stage with a number of large national acts, and gaining the attention of hardcore and metal audiences everywhere. In this time, they sold every one of the 500 copies produced with absolutely no distribution or touring, except for a weeklong stint with Undying in the summer of 2000.

With the addition of new members in 2001, endthisday quickly rose to a newfound level of maturity, creativity, and raw energy. The music became more dynamic and intense, and powerful live performances turned more heads than ever before. In July of 2001, endthisday returned to the studio to record their highly anticipated second demonstrational CD, "Only The Tears of Angels Will Reveal Our Sorrow." Since then, they have have played a handful of shows around the Midwest, done a brief tour of the East Coast, and winter tour of the Midwest and Southeastern United States, allowing them to sell over 800 copies of that CD with no distributional assistance.

endthisday signed with Germany`s Lifeforce Records, and released their debut full-length cd, "Sleeping Beneath the Ashes of Creation" on August 20th. This release sold 1,500 copies in its first two weeks alone, and is rising to the top of metal charts around the world. A summer tour in 2002 helped turn even more heads to endthisday´s sound.''

They have long since broken up but here is ''Sleeping Beneath The Ashes Of Creation'' download and buy it you will not be disappointed.

Rifles At Recess-To Whisper In Tongues

Okay, last post of the day but I have to share this with anyone who has not heard it yet....Rifles At Recess from Dayton, TN; I got the pleasure of seeing them once which was incredible they only released one album(that I know of) and it is nothing short of amazing.

I have been looking for demos and merch of this band for a long time but I don't think it exists anymore if you have anything please email me and I will post it on here, bands like Whitechapel took influence from this band(they are from the same town and they played their last show) too bad bands like this broke up.

Prayer For Cleansing-The Rain In Endless Fall

Okay, so this first post is from the album that I named this blog after and it is one of my favorite albums of all time from the NC band Prayer For Cleansing; I never got a chance to see them because when they were playing shows I was quite young and always missed all the good shows that weren't within an hour drive. So heavy but with such beautiful melody.


Anyway, here is the link I'll post art later:

New blog

I am going to be posting about bands from a scene that has long since fallen apart and has been replaced by a sea of bands that rip each other off and lack any kind of creativity.
