Trevo… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two bands with this name:
1) Unearth is:
Trevor Phipps - vocals
Buz McGrath - guitar
John Maggard - bass
Ken Susi - guitar
Nick Pierce - drums
Hailing from Massachusetts, Unearth bring a refreshing sense of talent with charismatic riffs, thought provoking lyrics and pummeling breakdowns. Unearth masterfully combine an intoxicating mix of American and European metal with hardcore ethic and punch. This unique approach makes Unearth one of the most abrasive, commanding and emotionally charged groups in heavy music today.
Formed in 1998, Unearth has accomplished more on their own than most bands can do with full support of a label and press. Constant tours all over the globe have earned them respect and recognition from their peers and helped cultivate one of the strongest fan bases around. In the last two years alone, Unearth has embarked on a sold-out headlining tour with Terror, Black Dahlia Murder and Remembering Never in tow, a sold-out run alongside Atreyu, and high profile treks with Slipknot, Killswitch Engage, Sounds Of The Underground 2005, The Headbanger's Ball tour and Ozzfest 2004. This summer, Unearth will head back overseas as a featured act on Sounds Of The Underground Europe and will once again tear up the US on the now infamous Ozzfest before unleashing their brutal new album in August.
The highly anticipated release "III: In The Eyes Of Fire" was produced by the legendary Terry Date (Soundgarden, Pantera, Deftones) and should satisfy even their most hardcore of fans. While most bands these days seem to have replaced breakdowns with "pretty" choruses, Unearth have gone in the opposite direction delivering their most brutal album to date. This crushing follow up to 2004's "The Oncoming Storm", is sure to cause nothing less than total destruction to every mosh pit in its wake.
On October 14, 2008, Unearth released their fourth album, entitled The March. The album features a re-recorded version of the song "The Chosen," which they contributed to the album Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters Colon the Soundtrack. The band recently completed a tour with Gwen Stacy, Whitechapel, The Acacia Strain and Protest the Hero. They are currently on the Never Say Die Club Tour with Parkway Drive, Despised Icon, Architects, Protest The Hero, Whitechapel and Carnifex. They will be on the Metal Hammer Defenders of the Faith tour with other acts such as Lamb of God, Dimmu Borgir and Five Finger Death Punch. As of Early 2009, it has been confirmed by billboard.com that The March has sold more than 100,000 copies world wide.
Justin Foley (Killswitch Engage, Blood Has Been Shed) handled the drumming on the band's 2011 album Darkness in the Light. Nick Pierce began touring with the group in 2011 before being announced as their official drummer in early 2012.
2) Unearth was a death metal band from Albuquerque, New Mexico. They released 2 demos, Malformed Cranium in 1994 and Spill the Plagues in 1995.
Overcome
Unearth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cold, the silence reigns do we close our blackened eyes?
I'm calling on our testament to overcome
I'm calling on
It's now or never
Overcome
I'm calling on my testament to overcome
To overcome
We stand strong
We won't break
Side by side we overcome
Now deliver us from all the hell I've seen
Now deliver us for there's fire in these veins
We're calling on the strengths that I've come to know
I'm calling on
It's now or never
Overcome
I'm calling on the strengths that I've come to know
I'm calling on
To overcome
We stand strong
We won't break
Side by side we overcome
The lyrics to Unearth's song Overcome summon strength and perseverance in the face of adversity. The lines "are you afraid or is the heart set on its time?" ask the listener to confront their own fears and question whether they're ready to act. The following line, "cold, the silence reigns do we close our blackened eyes?" sets an intense and ominous tone, suggesting that life is full of trials and tribulations that must be faced with eyes wide open. The chorus offers a resounding call to action, invoking the idea of a "testament" - something written down that stands as a record or a vow - to "overcome". The urgency in the line "it's now or never" underlines the importance of taking action.
The second verse continues with a plea for deliverance from suffering, both physical and emotional ("deliver us from all the hell I've seen" and "deliver us for there's fire in these veins"). The reference to fire in the veins could be symbolic of a passion that's burning out of control, or of an intense pain that's difficult to numb. The call-to-arms in the chorus urges the listener to tap into their own inner strength, the "strengths that I've come to know", to push through and overcome.
Overall, Unearth's lyrics to Overcome champion the idea that we are stronger together, and that adversity must be faced with fierce determination. The song encourages listeners to confront their fears and to call on the strengths they've developed through life's experiences to fight through tough times.
