    Mattie says: "Our new song 'Bitter Roots' is a dramatic departure from much of what For Today has been known for. We decided to break the mold and simply write what was inside us, without worrying about fitting in a particular genre box. While it's very different, we love the song, and we're so excited to share it with the world."

    I have just discovered this band just now in 2023 and why have you stopped. You have so much going for all of you as a band and the fact I love my heavy metal with vocal core is the best combination in metal music right now. Grunty and melodic is heaven to my ears. Please continue we need you back in the crowd last song was 7 years ago team. Let's get back in the studio and make the music you are all talented to make. We need this back in our lifes

    Bitter roots
    I can't remove
    The poison inside you
    Bitter roots
    Sorrow runs deeper
    Than I ever knew
    This thorn in my side
    Was once so easy to hide
    Beneath the surface I tried
    To reach deeper inside
    (Inside)
    But I just can't deny
    These bitter roots
    I can't remove
    The pain you held on to
    Oh these bitter roots
    Feed the disease
    Spoil all the fruit
    My bitter roots
    This thorn in my side
    Was once so easy to hide
    Beneath the surface I try
    To reach deeper inside (inside)
    But I just can't deny
    Reach deeper down inside
    (Release me)
    Consume the pain I cannot hide
    Reach deeper down inside
    (Release me)
    Consume the pain I cannot hide
    Let me go
    Take it all away
    My skin is stronger than soil
    My heart won't be pierced by these thorns
    Let me go
    Take it all away
    My skin is stronger than soil
    My heart won't be pierced by these thorns
    Tear out the bitter roots

    The best band of all time in my opinion. Especially live, good lord. It's downright spiritual. The most freeing thing on earth. I stage dove 35 times and the band was so invited it really was about more than the music. It was the feeling in the room at that point. I miss them touring.

    Matthew 7:19 It is not possible for a good tree to give bad fruit, and a bad tree will not give good fruit.
    20 Every tree which does not give good fruit is cut down and put in the fire.
    21 So by their fruits you will get knowledge of them.
    22 Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will go into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the pleasure of my Father in heaven.

    Hey there will still be Christian metal guys. Look up War of Ages and August Burns Red. Christian Metal is honestly the strongest music and christian music I have ever heard. It sends a chill up my spine every time I listen to these guys or really good Christian Metal. Any other band or artist for some reason doesn't have the same affect on me as these guys though. Their message is the strongest I have heard yet honestly.

    This album is pretty great. Ive been a fan of them since 2010, a month before breaker came out. It was their MySpace page countdown to the release of that album. And this was almost ten months before I was saved (becoming a Christian ) and then I hear Portraits and Ekklesia, then when Immortal came out, I was not as pleased, I gotten grown into something else. Looking back to the start of listening to the album, I was like "oh wow, 21 year old me on Fire for Christ getting into the new album trying to please people." Then prevailer came out and the controversy, yadda yadda, I had to support the brothers of Christ in For Today. "Fight the Silence" - pretty much pretty good. Then this album, I really loved it ever since. And they still preach the gospel. God bless you guys!!

    my favorite song, ever. Has been for 2 years and always will be. Filled with so much sadness that they're done now :(

    I dig it!
    For anyone who enjoys the ebb-and-flow soft/heavy dynamic of this track, be sure to check out 'The Father's Bargain' by Wolves at the Gate. Similar vibe and a sick track!
