Speaking of Amen.The video production of the video I'm posting is really off the wall (for a
punk-rock band anyway).
This is from the album "we have come for your parents", when Casey Chaos was still in a good relationship with RoadRunner Records.

Amen Discography
Amen is as rock'n'roll as an evil James Brown on testosterone. As soon as Casey Chaos, lead singer and only lasting member of the band, gets up on stage, he gives his soul -as well as his bruised body- into the matter of giving a great performance.
Even tough there are a handful live performances of Amen playing songs
from their three albums (some are even recorded at the Henry Rollins' Show, being Rollins Chaos' stepfather) the energy expressed by the man alone is undeniable.
There isn't one song on his entire discography that isn't worth a deserving place in the punk/hardcore/metal history since the Sex Pistols, from Coma America to The Summer of Guns.
We have the omonymous "Amen" album to start this band's "career", "We have come for your parents" second album produced under the greedy wing of Roadrunner Records in the crossover/nu metal explosion dating back to '99 and "Death before Musick" last work from Casey, produced in collaboration with System of a Down's guitarist.
A raw, dirty, chaotic punk/hardcore/metal supported by evocative melodies and a fierceful yet disgusted lone voice aiming
at the banalities of the world sorrounding the mayhem is the second best description for the band's sound.
Where the first one coincides with the three albums played at an illegal volume with no controls to dim it.
I have started listening to Amen ten years ago add still am.
Metalheads say they're too punk, punkers say they're too metal.
I say they aren't man enough to throw that stupid identification with a genre and appreciate a band that is unique, that hasn't sold his soul, and that gives you the right enthusiasm when no coffee is available.
There's one distinctive thing about Amen's music that really turns me on: every chorus is an explosion that turns out everytime to be an anthem against organized religion, the mainstream, society's flaws as a whole. Chaos is disillusioned, an apparent nihilistic view of the world hides a very sensitive artist struggling to find ethical answers.
Amen aren't known because they're not publicized, there's little promotion going on, a lot of talent threw in the garbage when this new metalcore fad pollutes the air.
Actually I don't know if metalcore is still the fad around, since I don't give a damn.
