Rare Saved by Grace split with The Esoteric

Roads Between  (2002)

Looking for rare Saved by Grace stuff

Saved by Grace recorded two songs for a split they did with The Esoteric back in 2002 titled Roads Between.  The split was released by hand on tour in 2002, but when approaching a legitimate release through Anxiety Records, Saved by Grace apparently backed out of the deal due to issues with their vocalist who sadly hanged himself later on in 2010.

I heard these two tracks by Saved by Grace back when they originally posted them online before the release and they were super heavy and super good.  I regret not going about the appropriate paths to obtaining them for myself, because now I absolutely can not find them anywhere online.  If ANYONE has access to these two tracks by the band, or the entire split with The Esoteric, please contact me!

Thanks guys.

By the way, I have A LOT of stuff I plan to post on here sometime soon.  Life has been busy and gotten in the way, but once I get all the stuff sorted out, I'll get it ripped onto my computer and posted on here.

Edge of Mortality

I actually never heard Edge of Mortality until someone just recently clued me in on their former existence.  A great SoCal metalcore band, they had the very identifiable late 90s/early 00s metalcore sound which they used to push their heavy Christian message.  Members went on to be in such bands as As I Lay Dying and A Midday Atlantic.  Super Christian, super late 90s metal core, and super heavy.  Unfortunately, they only put out a single full length record titled World Hate, recorded in 1999, which featured Dave Quiggle artwork and Jason Moody of No Innocent Victim doing guest vocals on the final track "Will to Consume", and recorded three songs that were to be featured on a split with Liar on Sobermind Records, but instead chose to pursue releasing it as a self titled effort through now defunct Warfare Records.  The EP, however, was never released.  If anyone has a copy of the three tracks that were to be featured on their final self titled release, please contact me and send them my way and I'll get them posted here on the blog.  Otherwise, check our their MySpace page here and check out the three tracks featured on there.  Check out their World Hate release below!

Exist

Thankfully, I was emailed about a post over at the One Path for Me Through Destiny blog, a great old hardcore blog, that contained the one full length recording of 90's California metalcore band, Exist.  Check out the post here!

More of Through and Through live

Through and Through live!

Below is a video, forwarded to me from my dude Stephen, of Through and Through's final shows in 1998, the very same year the band unfortunately came to an end.  Great band.  So stoked to finally get to see a video of them live.  I'm sure everyone appreciates this as much as I do.  Enjoy!

More old merch!

Below are some old and rare Christian hardcore merch that my dude Michael took pictures of and sent me to be posted on here for everyone to see.  I'm quite jealous of this little collection, especially the Focused and Unashamed shirts.   I miss how old bands used to do their merch.  Anyway, check it out!

Here's a Slingshot David shirt:

Neshamah live in '99

I was sent a link to this video on my Facebook earlier. Definitely worth checking out if you want to see some late 90's Christian hardcore live. I got the chance to see these guys a couple of times, as well as was in touch with some for some time because an old band I was in was supposed to do a split with them. There are more videos of Neshamah live at Vimeo.

Thanks Dylan for the link!
