Long Live!

The Chariot - Long Live

This Album has been completely ruling my world the past few days. My first taste of The Chariot came when Michael showed me one of the gnarliest songs I've ever heard. I was immediately sold. These guys are angry and motivated, and by the looks of things, they aren't scared to throw some bows. Long Live is swift, ruthless, and leaves just as fast as it came with the album only lasting about 30 minutes. Lets get one thing straight, it's gonna be the craziest 30 minutes of your day when you plug this bad boy in. 
Josh Scogin is an excellent lyricist on a mission. A very REAL mission. The record is teeming with thoughts of Revolution, calling it's listeners to arms, to storm the beach head on without regress and LIVE the gospel. Whether it be through music or your Job at McDonald's, we are called to change the world, and BE the change. Long Live is only a catalyst to set the reaction. In The City, Scogin puts it all on the table with lyrics like:

"The only "surrender" tonight, shall not be our own

They cannot escape, one if by land, two if by sea

I saved my money, but it can't save me"

"We can't hope that somebody else take our place
No, we can't hope that somebody else take our place"

We can't stand by and hope that the message gets spread by someone else. We were born to rebel, we were made to be strong and relentless. This is not just a revolt, This is a Revolution.
