about

Music, arrangement, and lyrics by Max Barber. This was a single that we released back in December of 2014 as a way to let people have a little taste of what we sound like, and we got lots of good feedback for it, so we figured we'd revamp it with re-recorded drums, as well as being remixed and remastered for the Hearts Of Steel EP. This song is basically about having the courage and the willpower to accomplish things under pressure, and not letting others say you can't or that you don't have what it takes. You have to give everything your all in order to truly make things happen.

lyrics

The feeling you get when all is set in place
And all the eyes are looking to you
The fear fear of falling flat on your face
And not knowing what to do

The pressure is high, The game has begun
And now it's time to bring the pain
There are no more chances to run
An obligation to abolish disdain

Fighting your way to create a name
You have to give it all you got
Put the ones who doubt to shame
You never know unless you take a shot

You either, take it or leave it
Take it or leave it

Growing old as time moves on
But the question remains, where has it all gone?
It always seems like yesterday
That we didn't have as much to say

No matter what the world will do
The life you choose is up to you
Don't waste your breathe on pleasing those
Who only make an effort to oppose

Breaking chains that take a hold
Diagnosing the lies that are told
Freedom of speech doesn't mean a thing
If negativity is what they bring

You either, take it or leave it
Take it or leave it

Taking no prisoners, full speed ahead
Shattering glass, I'm coming through
All these years and all the blood shed
Seeking a new world to walk into

One day we'll have to think for ourselves...

Exile
by Black Sites

This album is like if Queensryche, Mastodon, Judas Priest, and Voivod had an orgy together and created this bastard child of progressive heavy metal. The covers they have on here are also excellent. Charonyx

Into the Azure
by Volcandra

Super impressive Melodic Black Metal hailing from Louisville, Kentucky. For a debut album, this one is really well crafted and the guitar layering is next level. An extreme record with hooks for days Charonyx

The Ruins of Fading Light
by Crypt Sermon

Dark Melodic Doom Inspired Heavy Metal featuring shredding (A unique contrast) and vocals that really shine. Not to mention that album cover is something else. Expertly crafted on multiple levels. Charonyx

Dehumanizing Process

supported by 4 fans who also own “Take It Or Leave It (Bonus Track)”

Excellent songwriting, tasty riffs and solos. A lot of people will say an album gives off Beneath the Remains vibes, but this seriously does. It is vintage Schizophrenia/BtR Sepultura while sounding fresh and original and not a rehash. Please support these guys, I’d love to hear more music from them!!!! thrashforlife95

Ravenous "Book of Covetous Souls"

Austrian Thrash Metal. If your need for speed is overwhelming & you cannot resist the trarsh metal of the 90s & maybe you used to regularly go & see such bands as Metallica with their "Whiplash" & "Metal Militia"... :) And maybe you need to headbang until your head is almost hanging off your neck - then look no further! You need Ravenous in your life!!! They are still going too! Time for a new album I say... :) Pleeeeaaase!!! No faves at all & highly recommended!!! bmurator
