CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Get stoked. Their new record drops 5/5/09.

I saw them play last week. They played Teach and Evolve and they were incredible. Evolve is up on their MySpace page. The Chariot has gotten HEAVIER. It's so killer.

Here's the tracklist. Discuss.

1. "Teach:"
2. "Evolve."
3. "Need:"
4. "Impress."
5. "Never I"
6. "Giveth"
7. "Abandon:"
8. "Daggers"
9. "Oversea"
10. "Mrs. Montgomery Alabama iii."

I saw some live footage of them and they are Crazy!! The new CD sounds promising. Lots of good music coming this year.

They uploaded "Evolve."

Last time I listened to them, I couldn't stand the Chariot, but that was also back when I couldn't stand Norma Jean either. I'm gonna give them another listen, do they sound anything like NJ did back when Scogin was with them?

The Chariot is and has been better than Norma Jean, even when Scogin was with them. : |

I don't know about that...I love almost everything about Norma Jean. Lyrics and song titles and music and everything. Of course, Chariot could be similar, haven't really given them another chance yet.

Although, from what I recall (and am hearing atm) I prefer NJ still because the vocals weren't as...prominent I guess the word would be. In Norma Jean it always seemed to me like the music dominated over the vocals slightly, whereas The Chariot had more of an influence on the vocals. Which, when I didn't like chaotic stuff, was terrible in my ears' opinion. Now idk.

Hm. That would be interesting to see what you think now. I think Norma Jean has really gone downhill over the last few years, though. The Chariot, however, has remained pretty consistent, but I dig the chaos (I think they're more of a punk rock band at heart). I enjoy the fact that Scogin's vocals dominate because I think they're fantastic for heavy music. He has this grainy quality that sounds like it's been tampered with via computer, but it's all him.

Well I listened to the song "Evolve" and I gotta say, I'm liking the new album!
