OK, Time for some NOISE!!! Amen are an American hardcore punk band who were quite popular on the uk metal scene for a couple of years a decade ago. "Amen" is thir self tited debut album proper (there was a self released album in 1994, but at the time nobody really knew about that. Amen had a kind of Fallesque revolvving door lineup, with vocalist Casey Chaos (probably not his real name, I reckon his real name is somethin more mundane. Geoffrey Chaos perhaps?...) as the only constant member but various members of Californian punk metal legends Snot, and System Of A Down passing through their ranks at various times.
This is an incredibly angry, rage fueled album and I remember their live shows having fairly brutal moshpits, ususally with Casey Chaos directly in the middle of them.
The album's only single "Coma America" is probably the bands most well known song, but my favourite track on the album is "Everything Is Untrue" which brings a sort of sinister quietness to therest of the albums unrelenting barrage of aggression.
