Watched these guys in concert in Asheville, NC. They put on a great show and I love what they stand for. They claim the name of Christ where a lot of people don't believe Christ can be. A good portion of Christians would see this and turn away because it doesn't form to their view of Christianity, but their missing out on a huge mission field, people that wants and needs to hear about Christ's love for them. These guys are reaching out further and stronger than most Christians I know and are not conforming to what is known as "acceptable" in today's church. I appreciate and respect everything you guys do and keep on screaming the name of Christ!
Number one Christian Metal band. We will not be afraid. Listen to the passion in Matties voice, Raw Wroth used as a weapon for God. Growing up everyone said this music was "Satanic". This music is not satanic.
Being a lifelong Atheists I used to give Satanists grief calling them Christians or Jews. They are worshiping a different character from the same books. Most of them were too caught up in image and narcotics to even make the connection. Far more metal is about promoting peace than even hinting at satanism. A recent favourite is Bloodwood son Endurant which celebrates individual sacrifice for peace.
Saw them live last night at Knoxville. It's incredible that they worship our God with such talent and energy! The singer, Mattie, also gave a brief testimony. Can't wait 'till they're back in KNOXVILLE!
This song is perfect for today's climate. As Christians we should not be afraid of what going in the world today. Especially with the Corona virus scare. Keep up faith and God is in control
People automatically say these guys aren't Christian because the style they get The Good message across to people. Listen to the lyrics for a moment and yes, these guys are blessed by God to honor him with their gifts.
Now to For Today, you guys are amazing, the music, the lyrics, and all the good you wish to do. You set me up with a free mind to think about Jehovah and the bad things we face on earth. Now I know the only way to peace is through him. I found the truth. I just want to say thank you and I love you guys and Jehovah loves you all.
I thought that religion and Christianity was boring and a waste of time, but over the years God softened my heart, he pulled me close, and after I had struggled so much with life, I didn't resist, I allowed God in my life. I haven't been this happy or this peaceful before. I wish I could explain exactly what I'm trying to convey without offending anyone or saying something wrong. God will try to find a way into your life, but not forever, so I advise that you build a relationship with Christ.
Im a long time Pagan and I turned my ways unto the Lord. I truly believe there is one God One Heaven and I am thankful for bands like FOR TODAY who helped me see the way. Thank You Jesus for these bands that helped turn me from the secular music and helped me see the light.
I remember seeing For Today at Warped Tour in Pittsburgh two years ago, and I never heard of you guys until I went to see you. Then I met the lead singer, he said a speech and it blew me away. I got to meet him, take a picture, and tell him that I loved his music. I want you to know I still have your autograph on the wall next to my picture of Jesus, it's nice to know that there are real good people out there, even if they are in the spotlight with thousands of people cheering, you still heard me. I still hear you.
What's comes out from the man's tongue and his daily acts it's what matters." Let everything that has breath praise His name. Praise Jehovah. "(Palm 150)
These guys are so passionate and are inspiring with their faith! I have so much respect for them and how they're not afraid to be challenged abd stick to their guns For Today you're helping me be a stronger Christian thank you
I honestly can give these Guy's a huge thumbs up, perfect vocals, perfect lyrics. They don't use the same lyrics over and over again and they give people a reason to turn there life's to god. Thank you for today c:
Lyrics We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid We are fearless Fearless We made the mark of the uncreated God so what should we fear? We bear the scars of the holy risen son so tell me what should we fear Every threat is hollow because our victory is already set in stone We are the fearless We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid Though we stand in this dark valley (we will not be afraid) For we know that You are near For we know that You are near I can feel the courage rising in the hearts of the sons of God I can feel a fire burning across the Earth we stand as one We are not dismayed by the darkness that surrounds us here because we know that when all Hell closes in, if we stand and fight, we are not alone Though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death (we are not alone) We will fear no evil for You are near We are fearless We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid Though we stand in this dark valley (we will not be afraid) For we know that You are near For we know that You are near We can't stop the kingdom, You'll see me bow at the throne of judgement day So let the devil come We are fearless Fearless So let the devil come!
I love these guys, not only do they put out some heavy freaking worship, but theyre songs are deep instead of being focused on presenting a "brutal" image
"If there be found among you ... that ... hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them ... Then shalt thou ... tone them with stones, till they die." Deuteronomy 17:2-5 "If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers ... thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die." Deuteronomy 13:5-10
Dude, this is awesome. All the God's creation is awesome. This song is really touching, encouraging... God is there, wherever we may be! For this WE ARE FEARLESS!!
David's song of Deliverance sounds pretty metal to me "Then the earth reeled and rocked; the foundations of the heavens trembled and quaked, because he was angry. 9 Smoke went up from his nostrils, and devouring fire from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him. 10 He bowed the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under his feet. 11 He rode on a cherub and flew; he was seen on the wings of the wind. 12 He made darkness around him his canopy, thick clouds, a gathering of water. 13 Out of the brightness before him coals of fire flamed forth. 14 The Lord thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice. 15 And he sent out arrows and scattered them; lightning, and routed them. 16 Then the channels of the sea were seen; the foundations of the world were laid bare, at the rebuke of the Lord, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils."
Reminds me of the day I held my mothers hand in the hospital..the good spirit is powerful..my prayers were enough to make evil cower in fear..she might not be on this earth today but that dont mean shit..heaven is her home and she has returned
Guys... Just because you aren't religious doesn't mean you can't enjoy For Today and other bands like them. I'm an Agnostic but I've grown up listening to these guys and still enjoy their music a lot! I've met Mattie too and he's a great dude. Loved to chat with him again!
This is the first song I've heard of for today and all there songs have such an amazing message and it's all just so amazing. Great Band and great music
For breaking the Sabbath "They found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. ... And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones.... And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses." Numbers 15:32-56
I can't believe people are saying it's irrelevant for what religion a band is, what's the point of lyrical content then? This band out of many others are just trying to spread the truth! Wake up, people! This music is made to be enjoyed, but in a manner to make you learn something from their lyrics. It sends chills down my spine knowing bands like these strike back towards the wicked and evil. I love it. Jesus Metal is best.
I think the point is you can enjoy the music and support the art even if you don't hold the same religious beliefs as the band. A lot of people who listen to this band enjoy it because they like the genre and admire the bands talent even though they themselves aren't "Christians". I know as a Christian I don't listen to exclusively "christian" bands. For example Rise Against are "atheists" and even thought I disagree with them in that aspect I agree with their anti-war political message and admire the music they make and the passion they put into it. Their religious beliefs are irrelevant to me because they have a positive message that I think ultimately does good for the world and they make passionate music that I enjoy and can connect with. I feel like a lot of atheist/non-Christians view bands like For Today and Skillet in the same regard, they don't believe what the band believes but they don't care because they enjoy the music, connect with the positivity of the lyrics, and support the bands passion.
Demon Hunter, Saving Grace, War of Ages, August Burns Red, Impending doom, Sleeping Giant, Sinbreed, Brian Head Welch, The order of Elijah, Dark Sermon, and many others. Just go explore! It's worth it.
I prefer antichrist metal if that's what it's called, if there was something called intern metal that'd be my jam but there's only drug-step that follows the intern religion so atheism is the closest.
Creighster I agree the same dude. I'm agnostic myself (used to be Christian) and I can still appreciate this band as I enjoy the music they make. Even thought their lyrics are mainly Christian based doesn't mean I can't appreciate and respect it and doesn't put me off. It does piss me off that the ex guitarist and vocalist hold such archaic homophobic views but it doesn't put me off listening to them. This band still has good morals. Even though they are the most generic of metalcore you can get they are still heavy as fuck!
We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid We are fearless Fearless We made the mark of the uncreated God so what should we fear? We bear the scars of the holy risen son so tell me what should we fear Every threat is hollow because our victory is already set in stone We are the fearless We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid Though we stand in this dark valley (we will not be afraid) For we know that You are near For we know that You are near I can feel the courage rising in the hearts of the sons of God I can feel a fire burning across the Earth we stand as one We are not dismayed by the darkness that surrounds us here because we know that when all Hell closes in, if we stand and fight, we are not alone Though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death (we are not alone) We will fear no evil for You are near We are fearless We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid Though we stand in this dark valley (we will not be afraid) For we know that You are near For we know that You are near We can't stop the kingdom, You'll see me bow at the throne of judgement day So let the devil come We are fearless Fearless So let the devil come
Flat out, I'm not Christian but I still love For Today. Religion shouldn't make a difference. Music is meant to make people come together from all different demographics. I've been to For Today and August Burns Red shows and a christian metal crowd is just the same as a crowd watching Behemoth or Immortal. The music brings people together and that's what should really matter. Not trying to offend any people of religion out there, just stating what I feel is my opinion.
+Bryson Stadtfeld That's all fine and good, and the whole "it should just be about the music" is a good principal to have in theory...but the singer of this band is an asshole who starts preaching about the glory of God in the middle of their sets, so clearly brainwashing/indoctrination of youth is part of his agenda...
iseethereforiam self Well, my main beef with this band is that they tour with other bands that I like and I have to put up with their preachy nonsense. It's nothing personal, it's simply a matter of principal. Especially since, part of them "preaching the good word" comes across as being a marketing ploy wherein those kids with nosy parents can show them the lyrics and say "See, they're good. They're a market friendly, trendy, 'safe band'." That to me, is nonsense, especially since in having kids at those shows, they engage in this false sense of community where they've taken it upon themselves to indoctrinate young minds with this pollution that has been used by people throughout histories to commit numerous atrocities the world over. I mean, you don't hear about kids going through a "Christian phase" that's just silly. And yet they act as though they're doing the "rebel" thing or that they are somehow being "edgy" by talking abut the Bible in their songs. In effect, they are what the Dead Kennedy's (one of handful of real bands with a true counter hegemonic and socially subversive message/viewpoint) call a "Nazi Punk." Also, why not have an opposing view that "conflicts" with the crowd?
AzazelZaphorOmega look friend maybe to you it's not good for him to be preachy to teens. But the word of the Lord is able to set men free from the bondage of sin. So maybe the atheist don't like it when believers preach to them or others but is that supposed to stop us no lol we will continue to preach I for one will not have your blood on my hands. So yeah also it's super edgy especially in today's world to preach the Gospel because so many people reject the word today. ✊✌🔥💯💯💯
Azazel - God knows exactly how you feel lol. 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 - For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God
Our God is a Mighty Metal God. Hear the battle-roaring of the Lion of Judah, and all the devils shall flee! "Fear not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand" that is Jesus Christ. (:
My husband and I saw them in one of their last concert's, they performed this song and they sounded great! Great workout music and motivation music to conquer the day!!
I went through a lot of these comments and I see all these people hating and saying all this like "fuck this Christian band and their false god". When I see this It reassures me that some people haven't found god because their too busy being taunted by lucifer, but I will not give in to his temptations. He is so easy to give into, all of us need to stand up and fight and soon he will hear us (Jehovah). I will stand straight militant lining up in Jehovah's battalion. I fight for the day where the kingdom will be here on earth. I am fearless.
I don't think its a coincidence that alot of popular metalcore bands are Christian, there is a light shining in the dark! it penetrates the dark, And it saves people.
+Adam Saijas-Perez By, really by all means "enlighten" me what is I'm supposed to be afraid of/worried about so that my otherwise normal existence can be needlessly plagued with fear, guilt, and regret. Do tell me what it is I'm in "need" of being saved from. Go on. Preach it.
Fool_for_Christ This has nothing to do with righteousness (a concept for which you theists have been guilty of being hypocritical about on a grand scale since the inception of your religion on the simple basis that you believe what you believe and others don't, i.e. a self made for of segregation) as much it's about choosing not be afraid of invisible and imaginary threats for which you people have yet to substantiate even the slightest quark for. In other words, prove that it's a viable threat and then I'll start quaking in my boots. Until then, shut up. I mean really, I could claim a huge bio-mechanical space dragon is on its way ready to blow fires strong enough to annihilate everyone on earth, but if you follow me to my super secret and ultra safe bomb shelter fortress, you will survive. What reason would you have to believe me about that? The same applies to your god(s) and the concept of "sin" why should anyone believe you? Think REALLY HARD about it before you post a reply.
+AzazelZaphorOmega Why can't I pray to sky daddy and read the comic book? I used to be atheist, but hey.. we make the best believers. :) The only thing is you'll never be able to disprove religion so you are merely choosing to look down on what others choose to believe, which makes them happy. So.. what's the point of talking sh!t about something you can't understand? Just let us be, wanting to offend somebody for trying to fix their lives.. even if it just sounds like an absurd idea to cope with death to you.. isn't a way you should spend these few breathes we have here. If your an atheist just try to be kind or something.. reject it all you want Christ's existence will never vanish.. I'm not gonna threaten you or sarcastically say "you've got it all together" That's the wrong type of Christian. None of us got it all together. Just do you, love yourself and do acts of kindness and that's it. :)
+Steve Brule I'd soon rather see him crucified, which why I beat off to Passion of the Christ as often as possible.. Also, who the fuck are you to make a judgement call on the so-called "wickedness" of the world?
A real loving God wouldn't force people to love or obey Him. That's why we have the freedom to choose how we live and what we believe, because real love cannot be forced onto someone... Don't make the mistake of thinking that you or any other person has the intellectual capacity to conceptualize the existence of an omniscient, omnipotent creator.
Seeing them say a prayer on stage at Warped Tour in 2012 was slightly off-putting since I'm not religious, but they did put on an amazing show. There's something to be said about a band who broadcasts their values.
This may sound weird, but I think I might of been head banging for 2 minutes straight without stopping. I didn't even realize I was doing it untill 2 minutes past. Im weird XD
I've never heard of these guys until I purchased tickets to see them with Asking Alexandria, Sevendust, and All that Remains. Super stoked to see these guys in Grand Junction, CO!
Cool instrumentals, but in my opinion off putting lyrics but as a non christian I guess that's to be expected, I appreciate their passion in their beliefs though. Pretty good band.
There's a difference in asking God to be a part of your life with ALL YOUR HEART. And then there is just trying to "talk" to him. If you set your heart on asking Jesus Christ to save you, I guarantee you he will be there.
I think it's irrelevant what religion a band is if they good music they make good music & this band makes good music ! I saw them live and instantly became a fan
A lot of people care, but I don't believe in any religion and still like religious metal bands because they're great musicians regardless of what they believe.
Well you see people immediately place a stamp on your head saying what you are. When Christians make music like this people are in disbelief that they actually are Christian which is sad to say, but it's the truth. That's why they have to call themselves that
To true, I don't mind if they talk about god as long as they don't, and they don't so I really like them for having a little respect for themselves and their faith
Blake Sampia Yeah, and they have one song where matty mullins from memphis may fire come in (Break the cycle). Other than that it is Mattie Montgomery :)
Guys you are all warriors.. Through your music you are not only praising the (All powerful) Ancient one but I wanna tell you that you are for sure making him glad in real sense.
Christian Metal bands are the most badass bands out there... that's because they're bands that face rebuke on all fronts, both christian and secular, yet they continue to do their thing out of faith! Much RESPECTS to these tough guys!

Being a lifelong Atheists I used to give Satanists grief calling them Christians or Jews. They are worshiping a different character from the same books. Most of them were too caught up in image and narcotics to even make the connection.
Far more metal is about promoting peace than even hinting at satanism. A recent favourite is Bloodwood son Endurant which celebrates individual sacrifice for peace.
For today will forever be my band. Thank you for using the gift God gave you to advance his kingdom. 🙌🏾🙏
Still one of the all time hardest Christian songs. For Today was top tier.
Love these lyrics. They give me courage to be fearless especially during these crazy times we are living in. Thank you
After listening to these guys for a couple years now, all I can say is Christianity has some bad-ass advocates.
Murphy08 check out Sevin from HogMob lol
Yes we do, and we will keep fighting and fighting!!! We are the children of God! Fearless is what my God commands!
Saw them live last night at Knoxville. It's incredible that they worship our God with such talent and energy! The singer, Mattie, also gave a brief testimony. Can't wait 'till they're back in KNOXVILLE!
This song is perfect for today's climate. As Christians we should not be afraid of what going in the world today. Especially with the Corona virus scare. Keep up faith and God is in control
People automatically say these guys aren't Christian because the style they get The Good message across to people. Listen to the lyrics for a moment and yes, these guys are blessed by God to honor him with their gifts.
Now to For Today, you guys are amazing, the music, the lyrics, and all the good you wish to do. You set me up with a free mind to think about Jehovah and the bad things we face on earth. Now I know the only way to peace is through him. I found the truth. I just want to say thank you and I love you guys and Jehovah loves you all.
I thought that religion and Christianity was boring and a waste of time, but over the years God softened my heart, he pulled me close, and after I had struggled so much with life, I didn't resist, I allowed God in my life. I haven't been this happy or this peaceful before. I wish I could explain exactly what I'm trying to convey without offending anyone or saying something wrong. God will try to find a way into your life, but not forever, so I advise that you build a relationship with Christ.
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. This song is empowering.
Law Dawg meet pika p from the lighting planet of slow-moo... ..
Im a long time Pagan and I turned my ways unto the Lord. I truly believe there is one God One Heaven and I am thankful for bands like FOR TODAY who helped me see the way. Thank You Jesus for these bands that helped turn me from the secular music and helped me see the light.
This video proves that For Today blows people away
I agree
I remember seeing For Today at Warped Tour in Pittsburgh two years ago, and I never heard of you guys until I went to see you. Then I met the lead singer, he said a speech and it blew me away. I got to meet him, take a picture, and tell him that I loved his music. I want you to know I still have your autograph on the wall next to my picture of Jesus, it's nice to know that there are real good people out there, even if they are in the spotlight with thousands of people cheering, you still heard me. I still hear you.
What's comes out from the man's tongue and his daily acts it's what matters." Let everything that has breath praise His name. Praise Jehovah. "(Palm 150)
These guys are so passionate and are inspiring with their faith! I have so much respect for them and how they're not afraid to be challenged abd stick to their guns For Today you're helping me be a stronger Christian thank you
I honestly can give these Guy's a huge thumbs up, perfect vocals, perfect lyrics. They don't use the same lyrics over and over again and they give people a reason to turn there life's to god. Thank you for today c:
+Ghost Crew They do get all preachy at shows though
This song always makes me feel like I'm in the valley of death but God is always behind me thus giving me courage.
Lyrics
We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid
We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid
We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid
We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid
We are fearless
Fearless
We made the mark of the uncreated God so what should we fear?
We bear the scars of the holy risen son so tell me what should we fear
Every threat is hollow because our victory is already set in stone
We are the fearless
We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid
We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid
Though we stand in this dark valley (we will not be afraid)
For we know that You are near
For we know that You are near
I can feel the courage rising in the hearts of the sons of God
I can feel a fire burning across the Earth we stand as one
We are not dismayed by the darkness that surrounds us here because we know that when all
Hell closes in, if we stand and fight, we are not alone
Though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death (we are not alone)
We will fear no evil for You are near
We are fearless
We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid
We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid
Though we stand in this dark valley (we will not be afraid)
For we know that You are near
For we know that You are near
We can't stop the kingdom, You'll see me bow at the throne of judgement day
So let the devil come
We are fearless
Fearless
So let the devil come!
We are fearless, because HE is our strength and our salvationn, our refuge and our strong tower.If he is with us who´s against us?
We are fearless praise God for He has given us the strength to be Fearless I Love God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bro I remember when this came out and I thought this is gonna blow up, wtf happen this song deserves way more views
Because it's Christian..
Greatest influence.. I love you guys, please keep making music!!
I love these guys, not only do they put out some heavy freaking worship, but theyre songs are deep instead of being focused on presenting a "brutal" image
That was an awesome sermon we are not alone

"If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers ... thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die." Deuteronomy 13:5-10
I LIKE FOR TODAY, THEIR LYRICS ALWAYS DIRECT BIBLICAMENTE =) BLESSINGS EXTREME BROTHERS FROM ARGENTINA
Dude, this is awesome. All the God's creation is awesome. This song is really touching, encouraging... God is there, wherever we may be! For this WE ARE FEARLESS!!

From one metal head to all " Psalms 138:1 I will praise you with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise to you" love I guys!
Thank you guy's God bless For Today
David's song of Deliverance sounds pretty metal to me "Then the earth reeled and rocked;
the foundations of the heavens trembled
and quaked, because he was angry.
9 Smoke went up from his nostrils,
and devouring fire from his mouth;
glowing coals flamed forth from him.
10 He bowed the heavens and came down;
thick darkness was under his feet.
11 He rode on a cherub and flew;
he was seen on the wings of the wind.
12 He made darkness around him his canopy,
thick clouds, a gathering of water.
13 Out of the brightness before him
coals of fire flamed forth.
14 The Lord thundered from heaven,
and the Most High uttered his voice.
15 And he sent out arrows and scattered them;
lightning, and routed them.
16 Then the channels of the sea were seen;
the foundations of the world were laid bare,
at the rebuke of the Lord,
at the blast of the breath of his nostrils."
Reminds me of the day I held my mothers hand in the hospital..the good spirit is powerful..my prayers were enough to make evil cower in fear..she might not be on this earth today but that dont mean shit..heaven is her home and she has returned
Just saw them play this live when opening for AA. These guys are beast.
The head banging kitty made me find this song and I have to say IT ROCKS
Me too. Head banging kitteh
Same here that head banging kitten video rocked and am so glad I found these guys absolutely amazing Christian metal
Nice pic of the KCS ace.
This song is much needed in 2020.
Indeed, satan is taking over this world right now. Not just America
Guys... Just because you aren't religious doesn't mean you can't enjoy For Today and other bands like them. I'm an Agnostic but I've grown up listening to these guys and still enjoy their music a lot! I've met Mattie too and he's a great dude. Loved to chat with him again!
This is the first song I've heard of for today and all there songs have such an amazing message and it's all just so amazing. Great Band and great music
For breaking the Sabbath
"They found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. ... And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones.... And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses." Numbers 15:32-56
we will not, we will not, we will not be afraid! Praise God!
It is not about the genres or the rhythm they have, it is the content (LYRICS/MESSAGE)!!!!!!
I came across this for the first time today. If the strength of faith in my soul were a song... This would be it....
Praise the lord jesus christ
These guys live were the real deal, this shit dropped when I was a young teen now I’m 23. Timeless, amen 🔥
i love theses guys they were amazing at warp tour
That's actually why I looked them up. I saw them today in West Palm Beach, Florida.
They were amazing in Columbia Maryland
I can't believe people are saying it's irrelevant for what religion a band is, what's the point of lyrical content then? This band out of many others are just trying to spread the truth! Wake up, people! This music is made to be enjoyed, but in a manner to make you learn something from their lyrics. It sends chills down my spine knowing bands like these strike back towards the wicked and evil. I love it. Jesus Metal is best.
I think the point is you can enjoy the music and support the art even if you don't hold the same religious beliefs as the band. A lot of people who listen to this band enjoy it because they like the genre and admire the bands talent even though they themselves aren't "Christians". I know as a Christian I don't listen to exclusively "christian" bands. For example Rise Against are "atheists" and even thought I disagree with them in that aspect I agree with their anti-war political message and admire the music they make and the passion they put into it. Their religious beliefs are irrelevant to me because they have a positive message that I think ultimately does good for the world and they make passionate music that I enjoy and can connect with. I feel like a lot of atheist/non-Christians view bands like For Today and Skillet in the same regard, they don't believe what the band believes but they don't care because they enjoy the music, connect with the positivity of the lyrics, and support the bands passion.
Demon Hunter, Saving Grace, War of Ages, August Burns Red, Impending doom, Sleeping Giant, Sinbreed, Brian Head Welch, The order of Elijah, Dark Sermon, and many others. Just go explore! It's worth it.
I prefer antichrist metal if that's what it's called, if there was something called intern metal that'd be my jam but there's only drug-step that follows the intern religion so atheism is the closest.
Creighster I agree the same dude. I'm agnostic myself (used to be Christian) and I can still appreciate this band as I enjoy the music they make. Even thought their lyrics are mainly Christian based doesn't mean I can't appreciate and respect it and doesn't put me off. It does piss me off that the ex guitarist and vocalist hold such archaic homophobic views but it doesn't put me off listening to them. This band still has good morals. Even though they are the most generic of metalcore you can get they are still heavy as fuck!
"The truth." I literally spat out my sandwich.

thank YOU for FOR TODAY ,,,,,, LOVE THAT YOU SHOW LOVE FOR JESUS .........
Praise the lord,I love this
Flat out, I'm not Christian but I still love For Today. Religion shouldn't make a difference. Music is meant to make people come together from all different demographics. I've been to For Today and August Burns Red shows and a christian metal crowd is just the same as a crowd watching Behemoth or Immortal. The music brings people together and that's what should really matter. Not trying to offend any people of religion out there, just stating what I feel is my opinion.
+Bryson Stadtfeld That's all fine and good, and the whole "it should just be about the music" is a good principal to have in theory...but the singer of this band is an asshole who starts preaching about the glory of God in the middle of their sets, so clearly brainwashing/indoctrination of youth is part of his agenda...
+AzazelZaphorOmega Sadly true. He does do that and I haven't seen that with other christian metal bands, so I do get your point.
iseethereforiam self
Well, my main beef with this band is that they tour with other bands that I like and I have to put up with their preachy nonsense. It's nothing personal, it's simply a matter of principal. Especially since, part of them "preaching the good word" comes across as being a marketing ploy wherein those kids with nosy parents can show them the lyrics and say "See, they're good. They're a market friendly, trendy, 'safe band'." That to me, is nonsense, especially since in having kids at those shows, they engage in this false sense of community where they've taken it upon themselves to indoctrinate young minds with this pollution that has been used by people throughout histories to commit numerous atrocities the world over. I mean, you don't hear about kids going through a "Christian phase" that's just silly. And yet they act as though they're doing the "rebel" thing or that they are somehow being "edgy" by talking abut the Bible in their songs. In effect, they are what the Dead Kennedy's (one of handful of real bands with a true counter hegemonic and socially subversive message/viewpoint) call a "Nazi Punk."
Also, why not have an opposing view that "conflicts" with the crowd?
AzazelZaphorOmega look friend maybe to you it's not good for him to be preachy to teens. But the word of the Lord is able to set men free from the bondage of sin. So maybe the atheist don't like it when believers preach to them or others but is that supposed to stop us no lol we will continue to preach I for one will not have your blood on my hands. So yeah also it's super edgy especially in today's world to preach the Gospel because so many people reject the word today. ✊✌🔥💯💯💯
Azazel - God knows exactly how you feel lol. 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 - For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God
Our God is a Mighty Metal God. Hear the battle-roaring of the Lion of Judah, and all the devils shall flee!
"Fear not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand" that is Jesus Christ. (:
Amen brother.
Amen Risa. Thank you brother for this reminder because I’m struggling with fear
Amen
Such a great song
my theme song when I walk into a dark room lol
Lol hahaha
😂😂
When I go to the kitchen at 1 a.m
It occurred to me with Christ I'm fearless
My husband and I saw them in one of their last concert's, they performed this song and they sounded great! Great workout music and motivation music to conquer the day!!
I recently just found em they are really good!!!!!
It sucks that there breaking up tho
you know why?
I forgot why there breaking up
so its happening for sure?:(
I think soo
I know right, it does suck, because I just found them too.
I went through a lot of these comments and I see all these people hating and saying all this like "fuck this Christian band and their false god". When I see this It reassures me that some people haven't found god because their too busy being taunted by lucifer, but I will not give in to his temptations. He is so easy to give into, all of us need to stand up and fight and soon he will hear us (Jehovah). I will stand straight militant lining up in Jehovah's battalion. I fight for the day where the kingdom will be here on earth. I am fearless.
There is no such thing as an unforgivable sin, sin is sin in God's eyes "HE is faithful and just to forgive us"
best Christian group i've ever heard
Im liking them a lot. Check out Love And a Death. Not much people know about them
would recommend Norma Jean, As I Lay Dying and August Burns Red.
As I Lay Dying are atheists though. They said it themselves.
+Matt The Gooseman I was going to say that actually but I just didn't bother lol
+Antonio Alcantar it just goes to show that we have to watch out for false preachers
I like this song. Despite beeing non-religious.
Same, I even like the acoustic version.
There's an acoustic?
Im not religious either. Just have a relationship with the King Jesus
@@donkeymama2 Yup! That's what it all comes down to
I love this song in the lyrics are so powerful
I don't think its a coincidence that alot of popular metalcore bands are Christian, there is a light shining in the dark! it penetrates the dark, And it saves people.
+Madara saves people from what?
+AzazelZaphorOmega You know what.
+Adam Saijas-Perez By, really by all means "enlighten" me what is I'm supposed to be afraid of/worried about so that my otherwise normal existence can be needlessly plagued with fear, guilt, and regret. Do tell me what it is I'm in "need" of being saved from. Go on. Preach it.
Fool_for_Christ This has nothing to do with righteousness (a concept for which you theists have been guilty of being hypocritical about on a grand scale since the inception of your religion on the simple basis that you believe what you believe and others don't, i.e. a self made for of segregation) as much it's about choosing not be afraid of invisible and imaginary threats for which you people have yet to substantiate even the slightest quark for. In other words, prove that it's a viable threat and then I'll start quaking in my boots. Until then, shut up. I mean really, I could claim a huge bio-mechanical space dragon is on its way ready to blow fires strong enough to annihilate everyone on earth, but if you follow me to my super secret and ultra safe bomb shelter fortress, you will survive. What reason would you have to believe me about that? The same applies to your god(s) and the concept of "sin" why should anyone believe you? Think REALLY HARD about it before you post a reply.
+AzazelZaphorOmega Why can't I pray to sky daddy and read the comic book? I used to be atheist, but hey.. we make the best believers. :) The only thing is you'll never be able to disprove religion so you are merely choosing to look down on what others choose to believe, which makes them happy. So.. what's the point of talking sh!t about something you can't understand? Just let us be, wanting to offend somebody for trying to fix their lives.. even if it just sounds like an absurd idea to cope with death to you.. isn't a way you should spend these few breathes we have here. If your an atheist just try to be kind or something.. reject it all you want Christ's existence will never vanish.. I'm not gonna threaten you or sarcastically say "you've got it all together" That's the wrong type of Christian. None of us got it all together. Just do you, love yourself and do acts of kindness and that's it. :)
The Fact When Jesus Metal is better than most "Metal" bands today is great. Not christian but love the message it gives and music
+Dmitry Nemerov I agree, you don't need to be Christian to get a positive message from their music.
its not Jesus metal L O L
+Lucisus Palmer explain how it's not
+Dmitry Nemerov Ha! Jesus Metal = Faith Plus One
+Steve Brule I'd soon rather see him crucified, which why I beat off to Passion of the Christ as often as possible.. Also, who the fuck are you to make a judgement call on the so-called "wickedness" of the world?
A real loving God wouldn't force people to love or obey Him. That's why we have the freedom to choose how we live and what we believe, because real love cannot be forced onto someone...
Don't make the mistake of thinking that you or any other person has the intellectual capacity to conceptualize the existence of an omniscient, omnipotent creator.
If this does not pull on your heart and make you call for the battle, there is something truly wrong with your heart my lad.
People can be afraid but if u r with God u don't have to be afraid of anything :-)
Bless guys, i love your music
Seeing them say a prayer on stage at Warped Tour in 2012 was slightly off-putting since I'm not religious, but they did put on an amazing show. There's something to be said about a band who broadcasts their values.
This may sound weird, but I think I might of been head banging for 2 minutes straight without stopping. I didn't even realize I was doing it untill 2 minutes past.
Im weird XD
Man… this is my favorite band absolutely. I wish you guys kept making music. So bad

I missssssss this band 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Cool instrumentals, but in my opinion off putting lyrics but as a non christian I guess that's to be expected, I appreciate their passion in their beliefs though. Pretty good band.
I agree. Thats why I never got into them... Absolutely hate this christian thing going on

There's a difference in asking God to be a part of your life with ALL YOUR HEART. And then there is just trying to "talk" to him. If you set your heart on asking Jesus Christ to save you, I guarantee you he will be there.
I think it's irrelevant what religion a band is if they good music they make good music & this band makes good music ! I saw them live and instantly became a fan
A lot of people care, but I don't believe in any religion and still like religious metal bands because they're great musicians regardless of what they believe.
Well you see people immediately place a stamp on your head saying what you are. When Christians make music like this people are in disbelief that they actually are Christian which is sad to say, but it's the truth. That's why they have to call themselves that
It's not irrelevant if lyrical content is something you listen to music for.
To true, I don't mind if they talk about god as long as they don't, and they don't so I really like them for having a little respect for themselves and their faith
+Gabe Jiminez But they do, the singer preaches to the crowd at their shows....
For Today will be at Warped again this year, and I'm so excited to see them again.
You aren't the only excited one. I should hopefully see them twice this year.
yes im excited to but its the new singer hopefully hes good
