Hope Kills Fear was created for the purpose of using heartfelt, catchy songs to spread a message of hope, faith, strength and perseverance. The band consists of two former members of the critically acclaimed metal/rock/fusion band Candiria. Carley Coma (vocals) and Kenneth Schalk (drums) are joined by Julio Arias (guitars, vocals), J. Alexander (bass) and Steve Richards (guitars, vocals)
The band was formed in New York City, in September 2007. The members strongly identify themselves as Christians and are adamant about pursuing and promoting the band's career in a manner that would be consistent with their beliefs and desire for social change. As time goes on, the band hopes to get involved with missionary and charity work for the poor, the sick, the victims of natural disasters, the environment and American troops fighting abroad.
The band has been known for spending long hours in the recording studio with producer Michael Barille, going over every aspect of a song until the message and the music become one in the same. "We're focusing on writing songs that deliver a strong and powerful message, songs that inspire and resonate with the listener" Carley Coma, Metal Edge Magazine, May 2008
The band's song "Save me" has received significant praise from the press and continues to be added to the playlists of online radio stations across the U.S. Fans and radio Program Directors alike share the same enthusiasm for "Save me,” stating how excited they are about the music and how that particular song speaks to them personally.
Metalsucks.net had this to say about Hope Kills Fear "Big wall of sound guitars and undeniable hooks mixed well with swirling atmospheric guitars and dense vocal layering. Definitely one to watch out for in 2008!"
Hope Kills Fear strives to touch the inner most parts of the heart, spirit and soul using melody, words and music. They work tirelessly to fulfill the vision they have for the band and for those who are in need. "What Hope Kills Fear are doing represents what could possibly be the next evolution in rock music" Michael Barille, Sweetfire Recording Studios

This weeks prayer is for the condemned.And this subject like so many we deal with has both a spiritual and a worldly context attached.There are about sixty countries in the world today that continue to administer the death penalty.Most of these countries are in Asia and the Middle East.The United States also administers capital punishment.The people who populate these death rows are the worldly comdemned.They have been convicted in their societies of a crime that has been deemed to deserve the ultimate payment in return.The spiritually condemned is anybody who either rejects the Savior or never gets the opportunity to meet him.They face an eternity without the company of God.But the amazing thing is that Jesus can rescue both the spiritually and worldly condemned from their fates.Because the truth is we were all spiritually condemned untill Jesus rescued us whether we were sitting in a cell or dying of old age at eighty years of age.This is why this weeks prayer is for the condemned.
John 3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
John 5:24"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.
"
Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
Father we come before you recognizing how great our need is for a savior.How truly grateful we are for the sacrifice of your Son Jesus. And we pray that His saving grace is made known to those who face both worldly and spiritual death. We ask this in Jesus name,Amen.
“ God is jealous, and the LORD avenges; The LORD avenges and is furious. The Lord will take vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserves wrath for His enemies; The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked. The LORD has His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet. He rebukes the sea and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel wither, and the flower of Lebanon wilts. The mountains quake before Him, the hills melt, and the earth heaves at His presence, yes, the world and all who dwell in it. Who can stand before His indignation? And who can endure the fierceness of His anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by Him. The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him. But with an overflowing flood He will make an utter end of its place, and darkness will pursue His enemies. What do you conspire against the LORD? He will make an utter end of it. Affliction will not rise up a second time. For while tangled like thorns, and while drunken like drunkards, they shall be devoured like stubble fully dried. From you comes forth one who plots evil against the LORD, a wicked counselor.” Nahum 1:2-11 May God Bless You Today!
