it dies today is pretty good for jesuscore. do they do any ADM songs?

9/9/2008 9:13:40 PM

no idea, Ive never seen them live, and havent listened to them in probably 4 years. they are still on my ipod though heh

9/9/2008 10:29:05 PM

I liked them better when they were Bury your fucking dead

9/10/2008 9:20:22 AM

wonder if they still do that live heh

9/10/2008 10:18:33 AM

sweet. I'll be making it out to this one. Missed Bury Your Dead last time they were at the Brewery.

I should probably look into their newer stuff, wore Cover Your Tracks the hell out

Nice on being the opener. Do you guys have tracks up on myspace or anything? Id look but it's blocked at work.

9/10/2008 11:28:01 AM

sacrifice, Jamie!

9/10/2008 1:04:41 PM

of course a cool show like this would come to raleigh when i don't live there anymore.

i'm contemplating coming back to NC for something else that weekend tho, so who knows. i might be there anyways. bury your dead is fun live...at least they were with cover your tracks. good to see you're back melting the faces of the masses jamie.

what do you think the probability is of this thing selling out? i mean bury your dead at the brewery? in my mind that's huge. but maybe i'm just a fan

yea http://www.myspace.com/calledtoarms has 4 songs from our 2nd album that came out last year. Im pretty relieved we are actually playing first for a change. It will be our first show in like 2 months because we took the summer off, so there will be less pressure in the first slot

^ im not 100% sure man, Im thinking its a sell out, but who knows these days. There have been plenty of shows we've played in raleigh that I thought for sure would sell out that were only like 70% capacity, and others I thought would only pull 50% that were sold out with a line so Ive stopped trying to make predictions haha. If it does sell out before you know if you want to come let me know, maybe we could help you out. and yes BYD is fun live, although I havent seen them with some of the new members.

^^ yea, I want to see advent but round trip to raleigh weekend of the 19th, driving to asheville the 23rd for mars volta, driving to raleigh weekend of Oct 3.. :/ think I may have to sit out the advent show. not 100% though, but gas is going to be killer this month already.

9/10/2008 1:59:21 PM

good lord i don't like Bury Your Dead.

9/10/2008 11:55:53 PM

9/11/2008 12:21:56 AM

i might could actually come to this for once...

ive said it for years, but ive been meaning to meet you face to face and see one of your shows, jamie.

i'll try my damnedest.


i wish knives was on the ticket though....i haven't see my boy justin in a while.

9/11/2008 1:36:23 AM

that would be great man, but if you can't no worries. I will certainly try and get something set up with knives again in Raleigh this fall as we always like playing with them anyways.

9/11/2008 8:03:19 AM

^^^^ bury your dead doesn't like you either joel.

so i'm going to be in town. now i have to make sure the people i'm with want to go to a show.

what time are doors? is the brewery still lame in that they push back the bands from starting so the show runs til 2+AM?

9/11/2008 8:56:16 AM

Right now I think doors are like 6pm and show is supposed to start around 6:30 last I heard so I dono. I think with as big as the show is it will end up starting a lot earlier than normal, which is good for the show. Probably not great for us though since a lot of people show up later

9/11/2008 9:02:24 AM

preston I'll go if you're in town

9/11/2008 9:35:20 AM

ha...thanks joel. and yes i'll be in town...you'll have to PM me dem digits. i think i tried to get them last time but failed.

^^ if i go i'll try to be there for you

9/11/2008 9:48:17 AM

fuck a PM 919 604 0339

9/12/2008 8:36:04 AM

I imagine I will be there, as much as I hate the 13 year old crowd that place brings.

9/12/2008 12:15:33 PM

got a spot on your guest list?

9/12/2008 12:21:26 PM

haha i have to say thats doubtful for the time being

^^ say hey if you do come, dont think Ive ever met you.

9/12/2008 12:36:44 PM

^^^^ ballsy...but that's why i like you.

hopefully i'll make it in time to get in, jamie.

9/12/2008 5:02:23 PM

I'd message Mark and ask him to list me, but I'm sure he has enough Raleigh people doing that. I wish Casey was still in the band. I miss that kid.

9/12/2008 5:41:31 PM

w00t, we got a pretty awesome review in HM Magazine (Hard Music Magazine). Ive read the magazine for probably about 6 or 7 years so its pretty cool to get a good review in there. Our drummer picked up the new issue and was flipping through and just saw the review, we werent expecting it .

Quote :

"The Last Lament EP is a 28-minute trip through nearly every sub genre of metal that exists. From the grindcore parts of "The Last Lament" to the southern groove of "Locked and Loaded" to the old fashioned shred parts of "The Solace," these artists are not afraid to experiment. While Called To Arms doesn't reinvent technical metal, they are quite innovative in weaving together sounds and styles no one ever expected to hear together without sounding like completely random mishmash. In fact, the songs actually sound complete through impressive musicianship and songwriting. The heavy parts are heavy with plenty of odd time signature breakdowns, speed picking and blast beats; the metalcore riffage is plenty pit-worthy, the grooves get you moving; and the shred parts will melt plenty of scenester faces. Where Called To Arms stands out most however is during the softer moments with their melodic sensibilities reminiscent of Misery Signals but with a much broader emotional spectrum. I am excited to see what these guys can express within the scope and freedom of a full length release. 3.5/5 "

9/12/2008 8:38:33 PM

I caught a CTA show a few months ago when I was in Raleigh. Picked up The Last Lament and enjoyed it quite a bit. When is a full-length release coming out?

9/12/2008 9:37:48 PM

awesome

We are working on it slowly but it is planned. Right now I live in greenville SC, other guitar player lives in NYC, vocalist lives an hour outside of raleigh, drummer is in greeneville, nc and our bass player is the only one still living in raleigh haha. so needless to say we dont get to practice much at the moment. Our other guitar player might move in with me for awhile so we can finish writing.

right now we have 3 complete songs a 4th and 5th kind of wireframed with a huge pot of random individual riffs and ideas to toy with so we'll see. Goal is to record 8-10 tracks in '09 at the moment. Which means we need to finish writing and get them tight enough to record and book a date heh. Originally we had planned to just expand on the EP (ie we would be done writing now), but its been 3 years since we wrote that EP that we put out last year so the new stuff really stands by itself better we think, plus we are itching to get new material.

9/12/2008 10:08:50 PM

Jamie, would you feel validated? or assraped? if a piracy group released your album on 'the scene' ?

[Edited on September 12, 2008 at 10:27 PM. Reason : .]

9/12/2008 10:27:16 PM

cool deal

I'll be in town next weekend for the game, will try to check this one out if I get to Raleigh in time.

9/12/2008 10:31:13 PM

good deal.

^^nah. but then again we arent living off of our earnings, it all goes back into merch restocking and studio time for the next record. but also, we've gotten merch orders from all over the place from people that would never have heard of us without the internet so I embrace it

EDIT: er woops, read that wrong, i thought you said violated or assraped. reread it and saw you were asking a question with an option. but based on my answer yea i wouldnt feel "assraped"

9/12/2008 10:53:41 PM

congrats on the good review. i'll have to pick up a copy.

9/13/2008 6:07:06 PM

thanks

bump for friday

not too much of a metal head, but i appreciate good music in all forms. The last 2 minutes of your track "the last lament" is wonderful. nice work. If this show doesn't sell out I may come just to hear that and some of your other stuff.

9/15/2008 10:38:01 AM

really appreciate that man

Although I do have to warn you that we won't be playing that at this show. We havent gotten to practice in a bit and that is our most challenging song to nail live, especially after taking a few months off. :/ we'll be working on trying to get it show tight again after this though because I love playing that song.

9/18/2008 9:00:44 AM

my car is broke down >.<

9/19/2008 11:41:08 AM

Bump

So ive been a CTA fan since 06, had class with jamie since 04ish... and didnt buy The Last Lament until a few weeks ago. I've been to a few shows, downloaded their tracks but damn I popped that CD in while driving to town one day and was blown away by Sixth Hour. I was like OH YEAH!!!!111

9/19/2008 4:08:01 PM

forgot all about this. is it sold out? i really cant make it til late.

9/19/2008 4:09:01 PM

^^^ bummer

^^ haha thats great

^ it is not sold out at the moment as far as i know. But Im not making a guarantee that it wont be later.

as a PS we are scheduled to go on at 7

[Edited on September 19, 2008 at 4:31 PM. Reason : ]

9/19/2008 4:30:10 PM

Who the hell goes to a show at 7 besides pre-teens?

9/19/2008 5:45:43 PM

cost again? gonna talk to my friends and see if we can't make it out tonight

[Edited on September 19, 2008 at 6:13 PM. Reason : sdf]

9/19/2008 6:11:11 PM

^^ obviously I havent been going to shows for as long as you since you are older, but ive been going to shows for going on 9 years and outside of raleigh 7-730 has been a pretty average start times for most shows Ive gone too /shrug

9/20/2008 1:35:37 AM

other than a festival, i can't remember ever going to a show that started before 9:30

9/20/2008 2:38:46 AM

i went to hs with my boy tim in classic struggle

wish him the best, no doubt
