The band has been featured on numerous radio shows such as Denver Colorado’s KBPI, XM Radio’s Unsigned Bands and Mayhem & Rage Radio from Florida. Another Black Day has recently recorded a full length CD at Bieler Brother’s Records (Skindred, Non-Point) in Sunrise FL. The long awaited full length was produced by A.B.D and Matt LaPlant (NonPoint, Sikth). The music is comprised of aggressive complex guitar work, thought provoking lyrics, awe inspiring drumming, powerful vocals and cohesive songwriting wrapped up into one unique package. Each band member contributes his own style into the music, which in turn, breeds an unmistakably original musical creation.
The A.B.D live show is a force to be reckoned with. Another Black Day pours all of their energy and aggression and musical prowess into a wall of kinetic energy. Angel’s drumming is dead on, Haas’s bass lines are tight and powerful, Matt’s vocals are earth shattering and coupled with blistering guitar work he forces the crowd into the A.B.D onslaught. Put all of that together with constant movement on stage and you have the Another Black Day's live show…Excitement…Energetic…and Flawless.
Anymore
Another Black Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Degradation, I punished all I knew
Wake him, glorious applause
Praise him, glorious
This, is who I am
I don't need your sympathy
No I don't need it anymore
I don't need your empathy
No I don't need it anymore
Revolution, in my tired restless mind
Persecution, is madness all I find
Wake him, glorious applause
Praise him, glorious
This, is who I am
I don't need your sympathy
No I don't need it anymore
This, is who I am
I don't need your empathy
No I don't need it anymore
Decimate me and I will rise
No, I don't need your sympathy
No, I don't need it anymore
Persecute me and I will rise
No, I don't need your empathy
No, I don't need it anymore
Anymore, no
No, I don't need it anymore
No, I don't need you anymore
The lyrics of Another Black Day's song "Anymore" presents a character who has gone through a self-realization process and has finally gained confidence in his/her own identity. The first two lines of the song explore the restlessness of the soul, which reinforces the idea that the character may have felt lost or confused before. The line "degradation, I punished all I knew" suggests that the character may have gone through a phase where he/she felt like punishing people around them in order to let out their frustration. However, the character now seems to be in control and has found joy in his/her accomplishments, as indicated by the lines "wake him, glorious applause, praise him, glorious."
The chorus of the song "This is who I am, I don't need your sympathy, no, I don't need it anymore, this is who I am, I don't need your empathy, no I don't need it anymore" is declarative in nature and implies that the character is comfortable in his/her own skin and doesn't require validation from others. The verse "revolution in my tired restless mind, persecution is madness all I find" encapsulates the idea that the character somewhat feels persecuted or antagonized due to his/her beliefs or personality.
The chorus reiterates the belief that the character is self-reliant and resilient by saying "decimate me and I will rise, persecute me and I will rise." The last line "no I don't need you anymore" suggests that the character may have felt invalidated or subdued by someone, and has now moved beyond that. Overall, the song presents a character that has gone through a journey of self-realization and has emerged strong and resilient.
