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.

No Cure For The Pure
Amen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything I can endure
I stay away 'cause I've got
Nothing here to stay
Why can't I believe?
Why am I so impure?
Person justified inside something I endure
I heard it all before
'Cause I lost myself in pure horror
'Cause, no cure
No cure for the pure
Somebody said, "Everything is everything"
Everything is everything
Everything is nothing
[Incomprehensible]
I don't wanna live
In something so impure
Who'd want you to live inside your
Because I turn myself in a whore again
I heard it all before
You know I lost myself in pure horror
'Cause there's no cure for the pure
There's no cure for the pure
There's no cure for the pure
There's no cure for the pure
Why am I so impure?
There's no cure, no cure' no cure
There's no cure
'Cause there is no cure for the pure
'Cause there is no cure
'Cause there is no cure for the pure
'Cause there is no cure for the pure
No cure for the pure
The lyrics of Amen's song No Cure For The Pure are raw and introspective, tapping into the emotions of someone who feels they are impure and cannot be cured. The first few lines set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer declares themselves so impure that they need something pure to balance them out. They can endure anything, but they don't stay around because they feel they have nothing to hold onto. The frustration and confusion of the singer is clear, as they ask why they are impure and why they can't believe. They feel like they are trapped in their impurity, justifying their actions while knowing they are not right.
The chorus is a mantra, repeating that there is no cure for the pure. It's a bleak message, perhaps suggesting that those who are impure are doomed to remain that way. The bridge, with the lines "Somebody said, 'Everything is everything'/Everything is everything/Everything is nothing" is a bit of a departure, but it adds to the sense of hopelessness and confusion. The singer doesn't want to live in something so impure, but they feel like they are trapped there regardless. They've heard it all before, but they can't seem to break free from their impurity.
Overall, the lyrics to No Cure For The Pure are heavy and emotional, tapping into the frustrations and feelings of someone struggling with their own impurity. It's a bleak message, but one that is conveyed with passion and intensity.
