From theresnotomorrow shoutlife page

you act like you're Ok.
when I know you want to run away,
you hide how you really feel,
put on a mask that's so unreal,
you tell yourself you're all alone,
but your heart longs to be known,
you'd cry a river,
or sail a sea,
to live in love,
for eternity,
you smile just to please the crowd,
no one can hear you,
because you don't scream out loud,
the world's forgotten who you are,
and it's left a mark,
upon your heart,
you want it all,
but you're too scared to say,
what you're longing for today,
so remove the mask,
let them see,
your face,your hear,you mind,your soul,
everything,
and all the weight that holds you down,
let it roll off your shoulders,
and to the ground,
mystery girl,
you don't have to hide,
from the world...

Special Edition - For Today's Mattie Montgomery "When The Sons Become Fathers"

Anvil and the Hammer — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 13:37:00 GMT

Special Edition - For Today's Mattie Montgomery "When The Sons Become Fathers"
Spoken Word/Revolution

Mattie Montgomery (lead vocals from For Today see episode 56 for more), wanted the Hammerheads to get an opportunity to hear his Speaking CD. Some very powerful messages coming from Mattie. One of my favorite statements is "No Man has ever seen his dreams fufuilled, and regretted the sacrafice necessary to fufill them", what a statement.

On this episode hammerheads will hear the entire "When the Sons Become the Fathers" Speaking CD: Joshua, Restless, Vision, The Cycle, You Are Worth It, House Of Mirrors, Connected, and Prayer

*** Please support Mattie as he is making this free to all the hammerheads, you can support mattie by buying this CD on iTunes (see link below) or by making a donation through pay pal at http://www.myspace.com/mattiemontgomery.***

A message from Mattie:
"My wife, Candice, and I are pursuing a full-time, evangelistic ministry. In the years I have spent doing this, I have not once gone without my needs being met. God always seems to provide exceedingly and abundantly more than I expect of Him. And now, you can prayerfully consider being a part of God's providence. More than money, though, I ask for your PRAYER. We are in a constant struggle against the strongholds of the enemy in the world around us; and a divine hedge of protection is absolutely vital."

#47 Doubledge "Breakthrough"
Christian / Metal / Rock

Doubledge, We have to give credit to Joe Fazio from Hope Kills Fear for telling us about this band. So we got Joe to do the intro with Brandon for the show. In this episode Wayne catches us with Efrain Goyco (Vocals), and Jason Cruz (Guitar). (Just as a side note Jason uses Schecter guitars!!) This band has huge momentum going into 2010 already playing with bands like Skillet, Red, Pillar, Decyfer Down, and The Letter Black. If it was possible to use one word to describe the band it would have to be Passion. Doubledge has passion and a willingness to be open to where God wants them to be, not where they want to be. This attitude along with killer music has opened many doors for the band. Check out this episode to hear more about what is going on with Doubledge, music from their "Breakthrough" CD and why all the Doubledge fans are hardcore. Also Wayne says to check out Hebrews 4:12.

On this episode Hammerheads will also hear the following song clips from "Breakthrough": Breakthrough, Who We Are, Hunger, Passion, In Your Eyes, Meaning To Life, In Your Eyes (Acoustic)

"I am in the greatest band in the world" - Josh Dies (Showbread)

It says a lot about a band when the lead singer Josh Dies can say, “I am in the greatest band in the world”. From Showbread's humble beginnings covering Jars of Clay to creating their own style of music, this conversation with Josh covers so much that it had to be broken into 2 parts. Josh and Wayne talk about Showbread's "The Fear of God", life and creating music that Showbread wants to create regardless of what is going on with modern music trends or what critics think. The “Fear of God” has the potential to be the Album of the Year, Hammerheads check out both parts to hear why Josh thinks Showbread is the greatest band in the world and what RAWROCK is all about.

On part 1 Hammerheads will hear clips from the following songs: I'm Lost, Nothing Matters Anymore, Lost Connection With The Head, Regret Consumes Me, Out Of My Mind, Vehement,"Shepherd,No Sheep", and Let There Be Raw

What "Pastor Brad" writes about "Mirror of Souls"
Read his full review at: http://www.guitarjams.net/Theocracy_MofS.html
"THE MUSICIAN'S PERSPECITVE: RATING 9/10
Marvelous stuff. God-given talent is on display all over the place on this album. The song writing and music arrangements on this thing are what evoked my "Iron Maiden" comparisons... Theocracy's songs just have that same "take me on a journey" feel--with lots of extended dual guitar work that just kind of takes you on an emotional, trance-like journey as you listen to the whole album... just wonderful stuff! The guitar work is soulful and technically spot on, the vocals as I stated above are just beautiful and the drum work is fantastic---shaw plays with the fervor of Nicko McBrain...the precision of Neal Pert and he pounds out grooves that at times remind me of Robert Sweet. What more can I say--great band, great album... go get it today!"

#33 Post Mortum "Rise Above Ruin"

Anvil and the Hammer — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 18:38:00 GMT

Post Mortum "Rise Above Ruin" #33
Rock / Hard Rock / Metal

Goodness Gracious!! Hammerheads "Rise Above Ruin" is already on the TOP of Anvil and the Hammer's list for CD of the year. Wayne and Brandon catch up with Brysson (Guitar) right before the head out to tour (which they tour a lot). There is something special going on with "Post Mortum" and when you hear it you will understand why. Post Mortum's "Kill the 666" is one of the hardest songs that the band has ever done, but its brutality shows only one spectrum that this band can handle. The addition of DeRock (Violin) really adds a symphonic feel to an unforgettable brand of metal. Come, listen to the stories of what lead to "Rise Above Ruin", what is on the hearts of this band and to decide for yourself if "Rise Above Ruin" is a must own CD!

As always Hammerheads will hear song clips from Post Mortum's "Rise Above Ruin": Drip, Fire, Still Alive, Rose, Heart Sight, One Regret, Goodness Gracious, Burning Tears, Kill the 666

#32 Hope Kills Fear

Anvil and the Hammer — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 12:40:00 GMT

#32 Hope Kills Fear
Rock/Alternative/Metal/Heavy Music

Have you ever wondered what happened to Carley Coma and Kenneth Schalk from Candiria? Now you don't have to wonder anymore. Wayne and I got to catch up with Carley Coma (lead vocals) of Hope Kills Fear. I have to say that it is an amazing interview and an honor to represent the Hammerheads! Carley brings us up to speed on what happened between Candiria and Hope Kills Fear, as well as the Future. Hope Kills Fear was created for the purpose of using heartfelt, catchy songs to spread a message of hope, faith, strength and perseverance. Wayne and I will both tell you that Hope Kills Fear is right on the money with this one. We can't forget about Bass-Joe, Guitars Julio and Steve.

Carley also mentions how a Candiria fan wrote an email (that is a great display of Do Not Remain Silent) and how it became the bands name "Hope Kills Fear". Also Carley asks for Hammerheads to have a stake in this band! He wants your stories to turn into songs! I have to say that it would be really sweet to have Hope Kills Fear sing your story!

Hope Kills Fear sends their thanks to Hammerheads!!
Recently Hope Kills Fear performed for several key Christian Music leaders in pursuit of a record label. We know that many of the Hammerheads were praying for this to go well for them, and Hope Kills Fear sent this message for us to post!! (See Below)

"Fellow Hammerheads,

We'd like to thank all of you who have set time aside to ask our Lord for guidance and because of you guys and the grace of God everything went great! Without your support we are nothing. God Bless Hammerheads!

Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. (1 Peter 4:10)
HKF"

#31 Pastor Brad "Reshredded"

Anvil and the Hammer — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 21:50:00 GMT

#31 Pastor Brad "Reshredded"
Metal / Rock / Christian / Instrumental / Vocal Metal / Progressive

Pastor Brad's Christian Metal and Shred Guitar World!

(Rick Warren said "it takes all kind of churches to reach all kinds of People"....it takes all kinds of music to touch all kinds of hearts and...I am a metal head and I love that stuff...I'm never going to play country...somebody else can reach them) Pastor Brad

Pb, well that is how he signs his email, not the symbol for lead on the periodic table of elements. Pastor Brad is a Pastor (Brad Windland), I know the hammerheads are like "why are you having a pastor on Anvil and the Hammer?"...Well there are not many pastors out there that can bring it on the guitar like Pastor Brad can! If you are a fan of 80's metal guitar shredding then you need to quit reading this and start listening now...

Wayne and I felt that we needed to address some key issues about Rock, Metal, Heavy Metal and the Devil. There is no better way to hear about it from a pastor that truly understands METAL!!

Pb serves as the Pastor of Connections, Discipleship and Teaching at First Church -- www.first4christ.com

Today you will hear clips from Reshredded: Reshredded, Tear Down the Walls, Rain, Riffage, The Conquest, Religious Club, March to Mordor, and Rumplestiltskin.

If you are one of those hammerheads that think that churches don't get you, then this is the episode for you. If you don't feel comfortable talking with churches in the area you can always email Pastor Brad "Pb".
email: pastorbrad@aol.com

#28 Breaking the Silence "Stand" (The Letter Black new band name)

Anvil and the Hammer — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 22:30:00 GMT

#28 Breaking the Silence "Stand" (The Letter Black)
Rock / Alternative

Breaking the Silence in the blacksmith shop today! Brandon and Wayne catch up with Mark (Vocals and Guitar) and Sarah Anthony (Vocals) from Breaking the Silence. Many hammerheads like "Alex" have continually requested this band (with good reason). Breaking the silence is putting the finishing touches on their new album that is scheduled to be released in the Spring of 2009. We have had a chance to hear some of the new music on the bands myspace page. Wayne and I felt that it would be cool to catch up with the band a get a quick history lesson before the new CD comes out. In this episode we cover everything that we could think about from marital problems on the road and what not to feed (Breaking the Silence) when there are in your town!

Stand was produced by Travis Wyrick (yeah think P.O.D., Pillar) which will speak to the quality of this CD. Besides all of the normal chit chat about gear and vocals, Hammerheads will hear the following clips off of the "Stand" CD: Under God, Stand (Featuring Kevin Young Of Disciple), Must Die, Overdose, Break, Tonight, Different Face, and Until Death.

Don't forget to check out the new tracks at their myspace page!!

Breaking the Silence loves to hear from their fans "Shouters" and now the Hammerheads. Feel free to hit them up on their myspace page anytime, (they personally read all their letters)!
