I had blast doing this one with one of my oldest friends! This was his 1st time in the studio and filming anything like this. I think he did a good job! What do yall think?
Kye Rich Oh yes! I would love for him to react to War of Ages. They’ve been my favorite band for years. Notable songs include: - Hollow Point - Chaos Theory - Miles Apart - Collapse - Psalms - The Return - On Broken Wings
I've seen this band more times than any other. Matty eventually remembered me, im atheist and even i love For Today, if one thing would make me feel close to a God this band would be it. The power and energy they carry is so intense
I went and downloaded this one to my playlist before it was even over. This guy has a growl that feels like the power of a diesel truck. I can't turn the volume up loud enough. Wow!
Of course...as usual I stayed there until the end of the video. I love how you and your old friend both were saved and went into ministry calling around the same time as each other. It's got to be such a great friendship and rare to say the least. Love you..God bless you and your family
I love this song and I miss them. My band had the opportunity to open for them in 2010 when they were playing the tour Scream the Prayer and they were so intense and awesome
I have been lurking in the comments waiting for For Today since I originally hit that Subscribe button. You SERIOUSLY need to check out their song "Break The Silence". The lyrics and message are incredible.
Loved this band they were one of my favorites especially the first 2 albums. I was at their farewell tour when they came to my town knew how to put on a show & minister to those who would never have been inside a traditional church building.
A great band that disbanded at their height in popularity. Mattie had a greater calling and started his church. His ministry is awesome! I also follow him on Instagram and FB.
Man I really needed this. Was in the hospital for 17 days for a medical condition and when I came out I heard my mom past away. I was scared I wouldn’t be the same after this, but God is always there and we shouldn’t be afraid of what’s going to happen in the future.
You Guys Gotta React To THEOCRACY- I Am!! Its 11 mins of pure awesomeness explaining the goodness of God. The last verses of the song gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it because of how good God is, and the goodness of God leads to repentance!
I stayed this long brother Rob. Your channel has helped me be aware of the things I hear in the music I listen to. Thanks to your help I now have playlists that absolutely slap while glorifying Christ. It’s like hearing a really technical representation of His simple love.

I came hitting the like button, it's a AWESOME band!
Saw them at warped tour and the way Mattie preached the gospel amongst that crowd was beyond inspiring. Hated to see this band split up. They’re so good
Daaaaaang this is a blast from the past my guy. Seen For Today many times and they never disappointed and Mattie was always super open about his faith, gotta respect that. Hopefully you check more of their other and older stuff along with other bands like Oh Sleepers, Saving Grace, Sleeping Giants and many others but as always thanks for the vid and stay cool PR
Good day Pastor Robert. First I want to thank you for your good work and bringing out Cristian Metal bands! I have a huge passion and appreciation for Heavy Metal, and Cristian Metal just makes it more incredible! Remember that Metal is a passion, not a fashion! Keep it up!
Easily one of my top five by for today, and probably the best song to live by daily. I use these lyrics as encouragement to fellow believers who see to be down about current events. How easy it is to forget that we have an amazing reward waiting for us in eternity.
Recently found your channel and I am always happy to see another video come up from you. I recommend listening to the Band Convictions. They are some pretty good friends of mine and I think you would enjoy them.
I’ve been listening to this all week I’m a metal head and they are Christian I listen to metal all the time but study to show thyself approved not study to show thy preference approve. This is how you can tell the difference test the spirits.
First concert I ever went to For Today was headlining it, I waited for half an hour after the show for the band to come out of the back room to catch mattie to ask if he could do a little happy birthday video for my younger brother who's a big fan and he happily obliged, made my brothers year~
Stayed to the end. Sometimes I fast forward through the song. (I'm 50 and not 41 or 22) The music isn't always my style but I always stay for the teaching. Keep up the great work. You are ministering to both youth and old guys like me.
I love that you are getting to the arguments for God's existence! You almost got to the argument from contingency, or also into the vein of the Kalam Cosmological argument. For anyone who is unfamiliar with the Kalam, it's close enough to an airtight slam dunk argument. It's this: 1. Everything that begins with to exist have a cause. 2.the universe began to exist, therefore 3. The universe has a cause. The conceptual analysis is that the universe is all space, time, matter and energy, so the cause must have to be spaceless, timeless, uncreated, exceedingly powerful, personal, and incredibly wise.
@@roberthoughton7127 That's one I've not heard, I think.. gotta look that one up.. who would you say does a great explanation of it on youtube? Do you have a favorite?
Their reaction to this video is exactly how I felt when I discovered this song and band! I was a secular metal head before being saved. Since finding jesus, I've learned a lot of metal is negative. I listen to very few metal songs now, but this bad gives me my metal fix, all while glorifying God. It's my absolute favorite song. I wish they had made more music, but I understand we all get older and want to do other things. I pray they at some point down the line make acoustic albums of their old stuff.
Definitely need to check out more of their songs crown of thorns is definitely a good one. Also hope you and your wife and kids are doing good pastor, god bless.
Yaaaas, For Today!!!! Love them and your channel! The lyrics alone in this song are enough to get you jumping up and down...then throw some good ol' metalcore at it!? 😂 Ahhh yes.
Of course I stayed till the end :) For Today has so many phenomenal songs you should check out. Open Heaven (personal favorite), Crown of Thorns, Flesh and Blood, My Confession, and Devastator
Mattie is one of the best human beings I have ever met. There were a lot of Charlatans at this point in time in Metalcore and he truly walked the walk. He would never boast of it but I saw him save so many people after shows or on Warped Tour. Enjoy they’re catalog, such strong Christian messages it was amazing for me as a young man coming of age in an age of sin. Bless you guys
Mattie Montgomery spoke about this song @ Liberty University Convocation. He said somebody asked him what he thought the biggest problem in the world was and his answer was fear cuz it holds us back. He wanted to make a song saying, "we will not be afraid" as a rallying cry. I actually found out bout this band from the Christian rapper KBs song "I Believe ft. Mattie from For Today". Break the Cycle and The Advocate are my personal favorite songs of theirs.
For Today was one of the first bands to get me into this genre of music with a combination of brutal breakdowns and truth and wonderful messages throughout their music! In The Midst Of Lions is another great one, they're more like Impending Doom in that they're Deathcore instead of metalcore. A few more to check out would be Mychildren Mybride, Oh Sleeper, A Plea For Purging, The Chariot, The Great Commission, Gideon (Pre-Calloused), As I Lay Dying, Emery, Haste The Day, Earth Groans, Convictions, Comrades, Betraying The Martyrs (their first album mostly) The Burial, As Hell Retreats, Sovereign Strength, Cardiac Rupture, Taking The Head Of Goliath, and many more
For Today is fantastic. Seraphim would be another good one to react too, one of my favs. Got the pleasure of seeing them live on their final tour, wish they could’ve stayed together longer but all their stuff is great
Thanks Pastor Rob I needed to hear this today! We had a difficult meeting of what ministry will look like for our youth group, but watching For Today which I remember came out in high school, God is in control, he can take all my worries and anxiety and I can find peace In him being in control!!! React To Seraphim or Devastator by them, both are bangers!!!
Another great video! I always look forward to them. Some of your comments reminded me of the song Everything by Pillar. I think you guys would enjoy that track.
Oh, and speaking of Paul, it is imperative that you react to the song "Saul of Tarsus (The Messenger). It's one of For Today's much older songs and it is a complete banger, with a crazy breakdown.
I had blast doing this one with one of my oldest friends! This was his 1st time in the studio and filming anything like this. I think he did a good job! What do yall think?
I love this song 🤘🤘🤘🤘check out a one man project called A Secret Ending its good
Nice job but react to freezing moon by mayhem (pelle on vocals)
Please do a reaction for cemetery gates or cowboys from hell by pantera man youll love it
Hey can you please react to the song called the vengeful one by disturbed it's really good
Awesome video, this is one of my favorite bands!!
Listen to their song, Crown of Thorns. You will be in tears.
Heaviest song they’ve ever written
Musically and Lyrically
“It should have been me.” kills me everytime😭
@@tylergibbs3736 agreed
crown of thorns is such a powerful song, would love to see pastor react to it
Saw him at warped tour one year in the midst of all the secular bands and Mattie was a bold witness for Christ! Such a great guy!
Mattie Montgomery was the lead singer, well, screamer lol. He now pastors a church in Johnson City, TN called the Altar. He's in my neck of the woods.
Seeing a pastor get excited about a breakdown has made my day
FOOOOOOR TODAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!
I stayed this long bro, and have been. Do the next piece on a Christian band like War of Ages.: All consuming Fire
YES
This song live is freaking amazing. I have been able to see them twice and they are amazing. I have all of their album posters in my room
Yaaaaaaas. Such a great tune. Leroy Hamp from WoA is also a pastor in Ohio.
Kye Rich Oh yes! I would love for him to react to War of Ages. They’ve been my favorite band for years. Notable songs include:
- Hollow Point
- Chaos Theory
- Miles Apart
- Collapse
- Psalms
- The Return
- On Broken Wings
for today is a Christian band
Love how excited you were listening to it 😂 and it’s metalcore
I've seen this band more times than any other. Matty eventually remembered me, im atheist and even i love For Today, if one thing would make me feel close to a God this band would be it. The power and energy they carry is so intense
I miss their live shows, they were heavily awesome
God loves you very much man :) Bless you!
“Beyond the Grave” by Impending Doom would be great to see you do
TheGamblingGoose yes
Please!!!!
Lezz go. Please.
I love For Today. You should reaction to their song Foundation.
Mattie Montgomery, the lead singer, is now a Pastor at a church in Tennessee. For Today is Awesome to 💪 to. Awesome stuff!
I went and downloaded this one to my playlist before it was even over. This guy has a growl that feels like the power of a diesel truck. I can't turn the volume up loud enough. Wow!
For Today has no bad songs
@@AndrewDembouski Agreed
If you want a song from For Today that really convicts me every time I hear it listen to Crown Of Thorns
Same
Of course...as usual I stayed there until the end of the video. I love how you and your old friend both were saved and went into ministry calling around the same time as each other. It's got to be such a great friendship and rare to say the least. Love you..God bless you and your family
Wow thanks for reviewing this band God is great may God continue blessing this channel
Have been jamming this song for years! Great song to cover!
I am an atheist but I enjoy your content you're not like the pastors I had growing up you're very open and I enjoy seeing that good on you pastor 🤘🤘🤘
Yes!! Love this song.
I love this channel and I love Jesus!
Love this band. This video was AWESOME. Thanks Pastor Rob. I was jumping around like you were. LOL. WE WILL NOT BE AFRAID!
man, seeing you being that happy about this music makes me more happy! greetings from germany!
I love this song and I miss them. My band had the opportunity to open for them in 2010 when they were playing the tour Scream the Prayer and they were so intense and awesome
I have been lurking in the comments waiting for For Today since I originally hit that Subscribe button. You SERIOUSLY need to check out their song "Break The Silence". The lyrics and message are incredible.
My oldest son went to school with the two brothers. Literally small town guys. Both very grounded and extremely talented.
Loved this band they were one of my favorites especially the first 2 albums. I was at their farewell tour when they came to my town knew how to put on a show & minister to those who would never have been inside a traditional church building.
Memphis may fire Ordinary love!! Must react!!
A great band that disbanded at their height in popularity. Mattie had a greater calling and started his church. His ministry is awesome! I also follow him on Instagram and FB.
I started here long, great video as always. God bless you and the family!
One of my all time favorite bands and songs! 🤘🏻
Man I really needed this. Was in the hospital for 17 days for a medical condition and when I came out I heard my mom past away. I was scared I wouldn’t be the same after this, but God is always there and we shouldn’t be afraid of what’s going to happen in the future.
Loved the song! Thanks 🙏
Man I wish this band was still around. I saw them on their farewell tour. They were incredible live.
You Guys Gotta React To THEOCRACY- I Am!!
Its 11 mins of pure awesomeness explaining the goodness of God. The last verses of the song gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it because of how good God is, and the goodness of God leads to repentance!
I love this song! I can't help it, I teared up laughing, watching you guys jam to it! Perfect!👌
I stayed til the end! I always do. Love it. Keep going guys!

Great video i appreciate this!!!!! God bless

Definitely my favorite band. The breakdowns are massive!!!!!
Pastor Rob keep doing For Today they are an amazing band and have awesome music!
Welcome David! More reactions with David, he seems like a cool guy. A friend of yours, so he must be!
I stayed this long!! For Today has always been one of my favorite bands! And Mattie Montgomery is such a solid dude!
I stayed this long..awesome song..
One of my favorite songs by them.
Loved the discussion at the end, God is so great, bro.
One of my favorite Metalcore bands and Mattie (the singer) is now a pastor which makes me super happy!!
This video takes me back! 😂
Still jam to this song every now and then. This was the first song I heard by For Today!
I ALWAYS stay for the whole video!!! Absolutely love them!!
Fight the silence, break the cycle, my confession and bitter roots all by for today all great Christian metal core songs I’d recommend any of those
Daaaaaang this is a blast from the past my guy. Seen For Today many times and they never disappointed and Mattie was always super open about his faith, gotta respect that. Hopefully you check more of their other and older stuff along with other bands like Oh Sleepers, Saving Grace, Sleeping Giants and many others but as always thanks for the vid and stay cool PR
Bro For Today makes me cry literally every time!!
Good day Pastor Robert. First I want to thank you for your good work and bringing out Cristian Metal bands! I have a huge passion and appreciation for Heavy Metal, and Cristian Metal just makes it more incredible! Remember that Metal is a passion, not a fashion! Keep it up!
This is probably one of my favorites by for today
Matty actually says at the end. "he(the enemy) can't stop the Kingdom. You will see him bow at the throne on Judgement Day."
One of the best songs I have ever herd
Easily one of my top five by for today, and probably the best song to live by daily. I use these lyrics as encouragement to fellow believers who see to be down about current events. How easy it is to forget that we have an amazing reward waiting for us in eternity.
For Today was an awesome band. Saw them a couple times. All those guys were amazing dudes
Great messaging.and I stayed the whole way. Great breakdown of the breakdown. Cant wait for the next reaction
Recently found your channel and I am always happy to see another video come up from you. I recommend listening to the Band Convictions. They are some pretty good friends of mine and I think you would enjoy them.
Best Christian metalcore band and maybe even one of the best in modern metal.
I’ve been listening to this all week I’m a metal head and they are Christian I listen to metal all the time but study to show thyself approved not study to show thy preference approve. This is how you can tell the difference test the spirits.
Break the Cycle is another amazing song by them... nice reaction guys🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

The Kalam and “TAG” are the two I use most frequently. 😉
TAG = Transcendental Argument for the existence of God.
@@roberthoughton7127 That's one I've not heard, I think.. gotta look that one up.. who would you say does a great explanation of it on youtube? Do you have a favorite?
I stayed until the end. Great song that I haven’t heard in a while. Thanks for sharing and hopefully David will become a Metal fan.

For Today is awesome!! Great reaction!!
I just found this band a few months ago and they have quickly become a favorite. Too bad they are retired.
Yaaaas, For Today!!!! Love them and your channel!
The lyrics alone in this song are enough to get you jumping up and down...then throw some good ol' metalcore at it!? 😂 Ahhh yes.
Seen them numerous times they were amazing 😎 especially this song.. it was always their encore song.
Of course I stayed till the end :) For Today has so many phenomenal songs you should check out. Open Heaven (personal favorite), Crown of Thorns, Flesh and Blood, My Confession, and Devastator
Love your channel so much!
Pastor I want to thank you for your videos I think you do a really good job at what you do. Thank you for breaking things down in biblical concepts.
❤️❤️

For today has been my favorite band for over a decade.
YYYYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSSS YOU FOUND THEM!!!
Saw them on their farewell tour at the Social in Orlando. Such a crazy energy.
That tour had such a sick lineup
I love For Today! And I stayed till the end!
My favorite band saw them a few times last time was farewell tour
In the midst of lion - deffiance thanks pastor

Former For Today members also have a new project called Nothing Left, they're like For Today if they were a Hardcore band
Yes! For Today!!
Crap yeah, this is one of my favorite Christian Metal bands. Love this song too.
He came and preached at our church in Pearland Texas
I stayed this long ;) thanks for this Pastor Rob!
That means a lot to me Chris. ❤️🙏
His name is Mattie Montgomery his church is the altar in TN. My entire walk has been based around his lyrics and sleeping giant's lyrics.
I love your channel. Analyzing lyrics that build despite the heavy genre. Greetings from Mexico.
Uuuffffff this song!!!! 🤘
For Today is fantastic. Seraphim would be another good one to react too, one of my favs. Got the pleasure of seeing them live on their final tour, wish they could’ve stayed together longer but all their stuff is great

For Today is about as classic of a metalcore band as they get, you are correct in your assessment pastor Rob :)
Awesome! I’m learning.
Another great video! I always look forward to them. Some of your comments reminded me of the song Everything by Pillar. I think you guys would enjoy that track.
Made it through the whole vid! Loved the depth you guys went into!
