A Hope For Home's Top Song: Iniquity: An Offering Buy Album

Billboard

There is an old saying that claims time brings change. Noone would know this better than Portland's A Hope For Home, who have seen drastic change and growth since their inception in early 2006. What began as an emotional outlet for a group of friends during a season of loss has blossomed into a dedicated project that finds them on the road supporting their newest album, 2009's "The Everlasting Man." A concept based off of G.K. Chesterton's novel of the same name, "The Everlasting Man" tells the story of mankind's fall and awaiting redemption.

It is their second album following 2007's "Here, The End", both of which were produced and mixed by bassist Dan McCall at his studio in Camas, WA. The 11 tracks weave through warm organic textures on "The Covenant," to meet electronic beats and synthesizers on "Absolution:Of Flight and Failure," to end up at their heaviest and darkest material yet, as in "Babylon:The Insatiable Thirst" and "Iniquity:An Offering."

Their music is not the only place they have experienced major change. Since releasing "Here, The End," A Hope For Home have found themselves on multiple tours supporting bands of many different styles and scenes, and will continue touring through 2009 to support "The Everlasting Man."

At the end of the day, A Hope For Home strives to bridge the gap between a professional production and the individual by connecting through passionate music and a fierce work ethic. This growth and change is seen evident at every performance, and hopefully, will inspire and touch every listener.

ok, this hopefully will never be tainted with a label as gay as emocore (unless you mean it in the sense that there is real emotion that goes into the making of their music, not just copy-and-paste scenecore). this is definition melodic hardcore/post-hardcore and they perform it beautifully. Jun 10

After trying your whole upcoming album (I had no clue it was on here until recently), I am without a doubt convinced that you guys are my favorite band (next to Underoath)! I'm hoping you get big success from that album when it's released because it's AMAZING! Oh, and I love the lyrics in most of the songs as well! Some of the best songwriting I've ever seen! (both lyrically and instrumentally, and in regards to both albums but ESPECIALLY The Everlasting Man) Jan 02

As it says on my Purevolume page, Inquiry: An Offering is my current favorite song (which is something I had been undecided on prior). Honestly, that song is nothing short of a masterpiece. The guitar, keyboards/synth, drumming, and vocals on both levels are superb, and there's a nice balance of each. And, to top it off, the lyrics are very well made, very poetic, and so true. I honestly think that the song entails one of the many reasons religion's given such a bad name today. A very well thought out song and one that I'll probably NEVER get sick of. And all the other songs I've tried on your page (from both albums) I love as well, so keep up the great work. I look forward to your re-release of The Everlasting Man (please try and get it on iTunes)!!! =D Dec 07
