- All That Remains stumbled on a recipe for metal so pure and potent that it can burn the warts off mules. Mama always loved burnin' those mule warts...

Lyrics:
I secretly crave, crave that scent again
Still feel it pressing on me now
Now with the onset, my flesh is weakening
I steel my nerves for temptations at hand again
And I hear this calling
Still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear this calling out
No secrets deception for these would tear this down
I'll note the past spill the pain, spill the blood
Words match my deeds with brutal honesty
Never forget these choices were made by me
And I hear this calling
Still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear this calling
Still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear this calling
Not falling victim to the fire that burns inside of me
Though I am fearful I will not prevent this tragedy
My strength's been tested I wear the scars that prove
Still I believe that this calling will see me through
And I hear this calling
Still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear this calling
Still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear this calling
My strength's been tested I wear the scars that prove
Still I believe that this calling will see me through.

This is their best album in my opinion and nothing they released after this even came close. Great song! 🤘
Rock band and guitar hero bro put me on to atr 😂
Legendary song 🔥🔥
❤🔥❤🔥
Im not sure why the algorithm sent you my way, but pretty cool vid! I relate to you in being put off by disengenuine "believers" in the christian metal boom of the mid to late 00's, early 10's. After the fact, you can see what a trend it was and how its not surprising to see many artists denounce their faith in the years that followed.
That being said, a lot of bands retcon their early lyrics in interviews to try to hide their Christian past from the world. Saying these lyrics were about a girl could be true, but I think it's a bit of a cop out. The lyrics are straight up Christian lol.
But cool hearing this song again. Havent heard it in a while and its definitely a banger. The chorus is near perfection and that guitar solo was always so beautiful to me.
Thanks for stopping by! Sounds like we think very similarly about these things.
I'll have a Thrice video in a couple Mondays kinda about this very topic. Though for them, I know Dustin was writing these songs from a Christian viewpoint at the time.
Phil is one of the best in the game along with Jesse Leach and Howard Jones
He really is, those are the boys. I plan to get Killswitch on here too!
The Fall of Ideals (and Ascendancy) change my life..... I never listened to another genre since. 17yrs + later, and I am here aren't I ?
Oh golly Ascendancy...I see you, too, are a man of culture. When Daylight Dies and Shadows Are Security can also be thrown in there.
@@MetalSharpensMetal While I love everything AILD, I unfortunately only enjoy Kill Switch w/Jesse Leach. Spoiled by the first album, then lost interest. While I love Howard Jones, I never liked him as the KSE lead singer. A Light The Torch tune of his (track name - Safety of Disbelief) is why I like him away from the KSE boys....and I love his cameo in that KSE tune along side Jesse (Signal Fire)...
@@joeyjojojr.shabadoo915Signal Fire is epic. I somehow never heard The Safety of Disbelief, I'll be checking that soon
@@MetalSharpensMetal Have you come across 'Bone by Bone' ? (Tim Lambesis side project thing, Born Through Fire) Great track. My mainstays in current rotation are pretty much anything Bury Tomorrow (not the newest album, I miss Jason's Cleans), Miss May I, While She Sleeps.....
@@joeyjojojr.shabadoo915I have heard that one, solid track with a drummer I enjoy following (Luke Holland). Those other bands are great too - I have Free Fall in the hopper for this channel
This brings me back! The song six slaps too
Feels illegal to have so many bangers on one album
good vid, could I recommend that you check out a band called "Silent Planet"? they're one of my favourite metalcore bands, and the fact that the lead singer (who is also their songwriter) is pretty openly Christian (there's a tonne of biblical references in many of their songs, and in the videos you can find where Garrett explains their songs and albums he minces no words about it) seems like it'd slot in perfectly with your content!
either way, the stuff you are putting out is pretty high quality for the size of this channel, you've definitely earned a viewer and subscriber here!
Thanks for the kind words!
You could recommend them, good idea. I disagree with Garrett's conclusions on certain topics, but that should make for a great discussion. Which songs stand out to you the most?
@@MetalSharpensMetalwell from the Christian analysis standpoint something like "the well" might be a good choice, but they have so many great songs that it can be hard to choose (by the way they've just recently released a new album, some of those songs might be worth a go as well).
@@tiagobelo4965 thanks for the input, it would be hard to choose. I get the first riff from Afterdusk stuck in my head all the time for some reason too...
There’s no shame in finding your own meaning in art that exists in parallel with the artist’s original intent.
Just because his calling was to a relationship with a woman doesn’t have to take away the personal meaning with God that you got from the song.
I think that speaks to the poetry of the lyrics in that there’s some ambiguity there in what he’s referring to. It’s about the feeling, not the specific facts.
Thanks for that, but I think I kinda disagree. I agree that I can be inspired in a way that wasn't the artist's goal, but I don't want to have a made up understanding of the song. At least, I like doing my best to understand the artist's original meaning.
