1) AMEN is a cross-genre rock band mainly taking influence from 1980s hardcore, punk rock and black metal. They have had a number of different band members, with lead vocalist Casey Chaos the only surviving member of the original lineup. They had been voted "Overall Best Band in the World" and "Best Live Band in the World" by readers of Metal Hammer Magazine. Like iconic industrial rockers Nine Inch Nails, the band's music and lyrics are written entirely by the frontman, who also performs all instruments for studio recordings except for drums which are played by Shannon Larkin.
Early recordings were created in 1994 by Casey Chaos in the basement of his Los Angeles home, playing each instrument himself and using the name Amen to release the subsequent EP. Chaos later met Paul Figueroa through the LA music scene, and they formed a partnership. In the following months and years, the band expanded to include drummer Shannon Larkin, guitarist Sonny Mayo and bassist John Fahnestock, and they were signed to metal label Roadrunner Records.
Following the release of their eponymous album, produced by Ross Robinson, the band were set to tour Europe in December of 1999. This did not happen, with the band blaming a last-minute withdrawal of funding shortly prior to departure. Following this incident, Amen and Roadrunner went their separate ways. Subsequently several band members left, accompanied by a perceived drop in popularity. Chaos was helped out by friend Daron Malakian, whom he had met while both Amen and Malakian's band System of a Down were touring Australia as part of the Big Day Out music festival. Amen were the first band signed to Malakian's EatUrMusic label, and their subsequent release, Death Before Musick, was regarded as being a mild commercial success.
The 2005 tour supporting the album Death Before Musick was postponed when Chaos was rushed into hospital. Apparently against medical advice the tour was restarted a couple of months late.
At the last few shows the band played during 2005 they performed a couple of new songs.

Amen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is for the proof
This is for the lover soaking in the truth
This is for the liar
This is for the dream
This is for America burning at the seas
Cut off
This is for the treason
This is for the speed
This is for the money cumming in the mouths of the me
This is for the president
This is for the bomb
This is for the believers and all who belong
Coma America
This is for the believers of the truth
This is for the dreamers of the truth
These are for the seeds for all who pollute
Polluters of the blind and all who use
Coma America
I am out!
The lyrics to Amen's song "Coma America" are full of references to the various issues and contradictions that plague America. The singer shares his observations with the audience and expresses his frustration with the current state of affairs. The song is a social commentary on the ills of American society, from political corruption to environmental degradation and moral decay. The opening lines, "This is for the suffer/This is for the proof," suggest that the song is a call to action for those who are either directly experiencing these issues or are aware of them.
The lyrics that follow are a list of the many societal problems that plague America. The singer mentions "the lover soaking in the truth," suggesting that this is a country where love and truth are hard to come by. He then goes on to mention "the liar" and "the dream," highlighting the tension between truth and fantasy in American culture. The line "America burning at the seas" speaks to the environmental crisis America faces, with issues such as climate change and rising sea levels. The chorus, "This is for the treason/This is for the speed" brings attention to political corruption, particularly those in power willing to trade national security for personal gain.
The second verse touches on similar topics such as the money flowing through the mouths of the wealthy, the president and his bomb, and those who still believe in the lies being spread. The third verse seems to be a call to action, to those believers and dreamers of the truth to combat the polluters and those who use them.

The lead singer has this problem with hitting women and the last one got him arrested because it got pretty bloody.

Apparently they went on "hiatus" after Casey Chaos drove his van(suv? car?) into a bunch of parked cars and got arrested. They got back together about five years ago, and said they were working on another album, but... that was five years ago, and it aint out yet, so, who knows?
