1. Chicago’s EMBER (1994-2000) is a legendary black/thrash thrash band that came from a pure black metal background with their 1995 demo. They released three demos, all three which comprise the Discography, released in 1998 - signaling the demise of Ember, occuring in 2002. Last members were Nader, Alan, Abbas, Chris & Pete (NAACP). The band is remembered as true pioneers of the underground, who, after successful shows, performances at Milwaukee Metalfest and a west-coast tour with Impaled, walked away from being signed to a label to remain true to the aesthetics that perpetuate the underground metal world. RIP.

5. Ember is one of the hottest bands to emerge from the live music capital of the world: Austin, Texas. With hook laden, powerful music and an incredible stage show, it’s no wonder that Ember has begun to ignite. Since their inception, Ember has performed across the US including California, New York, Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma. They released an independent EP Under Pressure in 2006, produced by Sylvia Massy Shivy (Deftones, Tool, Red Hot Chili Peppers) at Radiostar studios in Weed, California. Shortly after, Ember signed with The Price Agency under the direction of J. Price. Following that union, the band started to flash all over the radar, playing shows with major mainstream acts such as Blue October, Theory of a Deadman, and Black Stone Cherry. Ember quickly became one of the top requested bands on internet radio and gained endorsements from Rock Revival Jeans, Incredible Ears, Gibson, Mesa Boogie, Sabian, and many others. After becoming a member of Armed Forces Entertainment, Ember scored the main support slot for multi-platinum rock powerhouse Hinder, and was then asked to headline the Fall tour in September of 2009.

Ember Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You fall to your knees for a better day.
Your greed happy, preaching hippourites try to hold,
What you can't grasp.
For believe in a saviour who gave blindman light and nealed the crippled,
Crucified for our sins, but where's he now to help?!
You wait for a star to fall from the sky to bring forth a better change
But now that star has lost its light as falls towards the earth.
They live off you.
I say pride, I wait for forgiveness from the masses,
They say faith but I believe in myself and my life.
You who don't take look into yourself or say who you are.
You say you have values? You are just victims in this world of everlasting darkness.
The lyrics of Ember's song "Blind" paint a picture of someone who wakes up every day with doubt and fear, hoping for a better future. They fall to their knees, seeking solace and guidance, only to be bombarded by the greed and hypocrisy of those around them. The song speaks of false prophets who claim to know the way but are unable to provide the help that is needed. This individual is waiting for a miracle, a sign that will bring about a positive change, but the star that they have been waiting for has lost its light and is falling towards the earth.
As the song progresses, Ember highlights the contrast between pride and faith. The singer speaks of their own struggle with pride and how they are seeking forgiveness from the masses. On the other hand, they observe that those around them claim to have faith but do not understand the implications of their beliefs. This is a powerful statement on the nature of belief and how we can sometimes be blind to our own contradictions.
Overall, "Blind" is a powerful song that speaks to the human condition. It captures the struggle that many of us face as we try to make sense of the world around us, grappling with doubt, fear, and the hypocrisies that often lurk in the shadows. It is a call to action, a reminder that we must be vigilant in our pursuit of the truth, and a warning that we must be careful not to be led astray by those who claim to have all the answers.
