A Call To The Faithful by Inhale Exhale (SolidState Records) blisters from the very moment that calluses meet frets and begin to form notes. There is a clear emotion that weaves through the slamming of each cymbal, the blood curdling screams and the battering of the guitars. A somber emotion set to continuous confrontation calling those who don two faces and perhaps a hope for those who would pursue change. A Call To The Faithful is well executed with plenty of force in both the composition and the lyrical content.

Lyrics to A Call To The Faithful by Inhale Exhale:

The lights go dim. And eyes begin to close Oh no.
A simple conversation sparks the love inside of him.

You live two lives and never think about your actions. Who is the one you try to please.
Yourself. With no regard for anyone. Who is the one you try to please.

You taste the leather of that shoe. It comes with the words you say.
The week seems long and you cant wait till your Sunday morning masquerade.
Let down your guard and everything just seems to fall to shame. With a nervous
look you search but your only one to blame.

You live two lives and never think about your actions. Who is the one you try to please.
Yourself. With no regard for anyone. Who is the one you try to please.

Feel glass against your face. Hopeless for this moment. 2x
You cry out for help. He has been watching all along 2x
This is ending right now

This is a call to the faithful. An outstretched arm to the faithless

The drums and guitars are so on point you’d think that the instruments were harvested from a magically sprouted beanstalk and once crafted embarked upon a journey to find the hands designed to unfurl their brutal bounty. August Burns Red shows a depth of talent in their attention to detail and the intrigue in contrasts that plays throughout the development of The Truth Of A Liar.

August Burns Red - The Truth Of A Liar
Allow what’s done to preach new insight to your life.
Hindsight is perfect vision.
The past is easiest to see.
Clear a path.
Stand aside.
We’re carrying the torch now.
There’s no stopping us.
You think you’re everything to everyone.
Go ahead.
Partake in it.
Justify it.
Become engulfed in it.
It will eat you alive.
This is not a one way road.
You’re headed for the dead end.
You might think you’re everything to everyone.
Well pardon me if I intrude.
You’re not a perfect man in a perfect world.
Look at where your ignorance has brought you.
All this will be buried.
Like the fall of Rome, you will come crashing down.
The truth hurts, but denial’s what will kill you.
All that you loved, all that you treasure, will pass with time.
Blinded by the inability to see beyond flesh and blood.
Shifting blame with a log in your eye.
Insisting that a string tied to your limbs is what’s to blame.
Suck it up and bite the bullet.
