Their debut album Your World on Fire was released January 6th 2009. Their second album, Imperial was released on June 15, 2010.
In Fear and Faith was founded in 2006 by members Noah Slifka, Mehdi Niroomand, Tyler McElhaney, Jarred DeArmas, and Ramin Niroomand. A year after recording their self-titled demo, founding vocalist Jarred DeArmas left the group and Tyler "Telle" Smith was employed as the band's clean vocalist along with Cody Anderson as the band's unclean vocalist. They replaced guitarist Davey Owens with Noah Slifka while keyboardist, Michael Guy left the band completely without a member in his replacement. With this line-up, they recorded their second EP, Voyage and released it via iTunes on December 17, 2007. Met with positive acclaim, the EP attracted the attention of Rise Records, which they were signed to the following year.

The End
In Fear and Faith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Replace fear with pride, hold your ground.
As I run from all that's left, I can feel I've reached the end.
As my feet sink into the floor, my arms won't fail me now.
And my tongue won't taste the sand.
The winds won't hold me down.
I will stay alive, now we are reaching the end.
Don't look back there is nothing left.
From the flood behind the walls, I won't drown.
This is not my fault, but this is why we run, run.
From the lives we left behind.
I'm tired of running away.
Let's show them what we're made of.
We are the fall. Led astray.
Born into this life to run away.
We've had enough, this is our day. To be the ones who stayed.
Let me go as I am. I will never sell my soul.
We chose the hard road; we fight alone to save our name.
Just remember you are the ones to blame.
The song âThe Endâ by In Fear and Faith expresses the feeling of reaching the end of oneâs journey and the struggle to hold on and fight for what they believe in. The opening lines encourage the listener to not give up and to eliminate fear by standing strong and taking down obstacles. The lyrics âas I run from all that's left, I can feel I've reached the endâ show the exhaustion and emotional burden carried by the individual, while the lines âmy arms won't fail me now. And my tongue won't taste the sand. The winds won't hold me downâ suggest perseverance and determination to stay alive and overcome adversity.
The chorus âdonât look back, there is nothing leftâ reiterates the idea of letting go of the past and moving forward, while âthis is why we runâ suggests that sometimes running away is necessary for survival. The bridge highlights the conflict between the individual and society, with the lines âwe are the fall, led astray. Born into this life to run away. We've had enough, this is our day. To be the ones who stayedâ emphasizing the struggle to find oneâs own path and identity amidst the pressures and expectations imposed by society. The final lines âlet me go as I am. I will never sell my soul. We chose the hard road; we fight alone to save our name. Just remember you are the ones to blameâ underscore the importance of remaining true to oneself and standing up against those who seek to control or manipulate them.

I learned from these guys that sick pianos in metal are important. Similar to how I learned from Eluveitie that flute and fiddle solos in death metal are the best.
