about

Beard The Lion heavy riffs, technical passages, ambient piano and string sections, and a wide range of vocals from catchy hooks to brutal screams, all to offer up a unique progressive metal experience that is a vessel for the Biblical message of faith and salvation. When bassist/keyboardist Matt Glisson and drummer Justin Boddeker joined the Carthel brothers, Seth (guitar/programming) and Ethan (vocals), the band began to grow beyond the metalcore boundaries of its beginnings.

lyrics

I saw you making your way through the crowds
Yeah I saw you
I watched you move within arms length away
And that's when you saw me too

Reach! Reach out!
Reach! Reach out and touch faith!

I believe, I believe if I can just touch the cloak of the one who feeds us
Maybe then, maybe then I can witness firsthand the power of faith

Reach! Reach out!
Seek and you will find it
Reach! Reach out!
Knock and the door will open
Reach out! Reach out!

Imagine faith that's so profound that mountains move when spoken to
A faith beyond that knows no bounds
Reach out!

Wait! Master please!
My daughter's in dire need of a miracle
Please!
But His response was bittersweet

What? What would you have me do?
Cast pearls on the swine to feed wretched dogs my blessed food?
Why oh why would I feed the swine just to watch them turn on me?

I said please Lord please!
Even the dogs eat whatever might fall from the masters table
I stopped Him dead in His tracks as He turned to say
For your faith she has been saved

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost
But now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
But now I see

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Now my faith is stronger than my fear
Reaching far beyond all despair
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch
Saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see!
I see!

Oh ye of little faith
Believe and you will see
Reach out
Reach out and touch faith

I saw you making your way through the crowds
Yeah I saw you
I watched you move within arms length away
And that's when you saw me too

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this. Luke

I'll admit, at first I didn't think the vocals worked that well with the music, but for some reason they've grown on me. There's something really interesting about the dreaminess of the voice with the upbeat instrumentation. Plushie Fanatic
