Until the End formed in January of 2000, due to the necessity for a sXe hardcore/metal band in South Florida with a modern twist. The band aspires to pass on their ideals they formed growing up, playing the music they love, and returning an affirmative message to the scene. Until The End is a favorite in South Florida, with an enormous fanbase. They are probably most known for their unruly shows with wild crowd participation and enthusiasm that is hard to forget.
Its members are derived from some of the most celebrated hardcore bands to date. Chip works at Blockbuster and sqwaks for Dance Floor Justice. John was in Where Fear and Weapons Meet, Culture, and Morning Again. James also sings for Kiss The Barrel. In addition, John and Dan spend the majority of their time running Eulogy Recordings.
Until The End's debut Eulogy release "Blood In The Ink", is a testament to the bands growth and fine-tuning. With throaty, deep vocals and a host of memorable songs with great sing-along potential, UTE may be compared to the likes of Hatebreed, Sepultura, Machinehead and Death Threat. The songs are harsh and sudden, with polished guitar riffs that convey their strong personal beliefs and convictions.
UTE remains a dedicated force in the hardcore scene, with a tenacious grasp on ethical lifestyle and loyalty among its five members.

My Own American Dream
Until The End Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The song "My Own American Dream" by Until The End expresses the disillusionment and frustration of the singer with the state of the American Dream. At the beginning of the song, the singer continuously asks "Where's my American dream?" as if searching for something that is lost. They question whether it is found in the faces of those who have died, those who suffer, or those who pray for peace. The singer underscores the disconnection between progress and the loss of lives throughout history, stating that the blood that has been spilled is thicker than the progress that has been made. The repetition of the phrase "Where's my American dream?" throughout the song symbolizes the overall search for meaning and purpose within the American Dream that has been lost.
The lyrics then shift towards the idea that their American Dream died when a thief took over and cast aside the sacrifices made to secure the country's rights. The imagery of a hail of hell and gunfire suggests that this country's struggles are far-reaching and ongoing, and the singer expresses the futility of any hope that things may change. The singer also implies that no one will survive the onslaught of violence and despair. The final part of the song suggests that American society has reached a tipping point where the only choices available are to abandon all hope and succumb to our fate or to resist and fight against a system that no longer represents the American Dream as we once knew it.
