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 ↴
Voy a matarte
Voy a violarte
Tú sólo muévete, muévete lento
Que mas lento quiero amarte
Amor ven dámelo otra vez
Quiero amarte hasta los pies
Son como droga en el amor
Pero si es lento
Aunque sea en el cemento.
Tu sólo muévete, muévete lento
Que te va ir mucho mejor.
No tienes por qué parar
Si dudas es de mas
Dicen entren por atras
No, no, no, no, no, no,
No apagues el juego que hay
Todavia mucho por jugar.

Pero, por favor, rápido al final.
The lyrics to Amen's song "Lento" are quite controversial and have been interpreted in different ways. At first glance, the lyrics appear to be about a man who wants to kill and rape a woman, but upon closer examination, the song seems to be more about the dynamics of power and control in a sexual relationship. The first two lines of the song are particularly jarring as they seem to condone violence against women. However, the chorus which repeats the phrase "muévete lento" which translates to "move slowly" or "take it slow" suggests that the woman has some agency and the power to control the pace of the sexual encounter.
The next few lines of the song suggest that the singer wants to love the woman completely, even down to her feet. He likens the saliva and sweat to drugs that heighten the experience of love. The line "pero si es lento, aunque sea en el cemento" means that even if the encounter is on a rough surface like cement, taking it slow will make it enjoyable. The second verse of the song suggests that the woman should not stop or hesitate and the man instructs her to "move slowly" but quickly at the climax of the encounter.
In conclusion, while the lyrics of the song may be shocking and difficult to understand, it seems to be a reflection on how power dynamics in sexual relationships affect the way people approach and enjoy sex.
