CONVEYER has laid a solid foundation over the last few years through numerous self-booked, successful North American tours and a self-released debut album, Worn Out. As the newest addition to the Victory Records family, CONVEYER prepares to build on their devoted and faithful following with their sophomore release,When Given Time To Grow, set to be released September 4th, 2015. Get a taste of the new album with the new song “Haven.”
Hailing from Minneapolis, MN, CONVEYER’s devotion to music and faith is the common thread that connected its members – Danny Adams (Vocals), Ty Brooks (Guitar), Nick Matako (Guitar), Ben Greene (Bass), and Daniel Glover (Drums).
Frontman Danny Adams says of the signing, “Realizing Victory was on board with CONVEYER and wanted to help us do more was a surreal experience. When I was thirteen or fourteen, my mom signed up for a Victory sampler, and it got me into bands like Atreyu, Bayside, Silverstein and eventually The Warriors and Refused. A majority of the bands that got me into going to shows and participating in a local hardcore/metal scene were putting out records through Victory before I even knew what music I liked.”
“To be a part of a label that is responsible for releasing some of my favorite records of all time is a dream come true. We are honored to be a part of the Victory Records family,” adds guitarist Ty Brooks.
On the background of “Haven”, Adams explains, “It’s basically me expressing my disinterest in the immoral composition of the status quo on a worldwide scale, and Christ being the only antithesis to the mindset the world conditions us to live under. I don’t think there’s a simple way for me to coalesce the entire point of the song, which is why I encourage people to come ask questions at shows or online.”
CONVEYER will hit the road this weekend on July 4th, appearing at several festivals such as Audiofeed, Ichthus, Sonshine and Pierced. Stay tuned for more album and tour news on CONVEYER.
Lyrics:
This is my aberration from the world I’ve come to know
Opposed to all that hinders the freedom of my soul
Faithless in a future disregarding my conviction
Remove me from the mindset of manI hope I’m not just counting down the days
Until I relapse and forget to relate
There’s got to be more than what we’re all conditioned to expect
From this self-centered world of hate and regret, pain and neglect
I’m trying my bestI’ve had a change of heart
You have captivated this dead man
I will sing praises to show them
A chorus carried up on highIgnoring importance, ignoring the critical
Existential urgency
Ignoring our purpose, ignoring the vital
Bled dry by apathyAvoiding moral imperative
Death without life, an end with no means
A population of selfish men who have no one to blame but themselves
The world is plain and simple; Depravity of the heart
Living in a constant spiral of moral disregard
You will be my Haven for the rest of my days
Refine me from my self-centered waysI’ve had a change of heart
You have captivated this dead man
I will sing praises to show them
A chorus carried up on high
