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.
From The Ashes
Another Black Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm not one of the weak.
From the wreckage, I pulled myself.
I thank God that it wasn't me.
Will I find my anger again?
Or will my faith prevail?
How many times I tried?
Wasted amongst the dead.
Why can't I just die?
From the ashes, I rise.
From the ashes, I rise.
From the ashes, I rise.
From the ashes, I rise.
From the ashes, I saved my soul
And now I'm not one of the damned.
Why wait for me to fail?
I don't know, I'll do what I can.
Will I find my anger again?
Or will my faith prevail?
So many times I lied.
How many times I tried?
Wasted amongst the dead.
Why can't I just die?
From the ashes, I rise.
From the ashes, I rise.
From the ashes, I rise.
From the ashes, I rise.
So many times I lied.
Why can't I just die?
From the ashes, I rise.
From the ashes, I rise.
From the ashes, I rise.
From the ashes, I rise.
