History

The 2002 music festival Furnace Fest was a defining time in the history of Norma Jean. The band was touring their album Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child. It was an album that had garnered the band strong reviews from many in the heavy metal community. Despite the success the band was achieving frontman Josh Scogin announced at the end of the set he would be leaving Norma Jean. For album titles with the same name, see 2002 (album). ... Norma Jean is a Christian metalcore band from Douglasville, Georgia, USA, a suburb of Atlanta. ... Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child is the third album released by Norma Jean (first album under the name Norma Jean). ... Norma Jean is a Christian metalcore band from Douglasville, Georgia, USA, a suburb of Atlanta. ...

“I wish I had some great story about a big fight or aliens or something,” Scogin later explained. "But really it was just something that I felt led to do.” [1]

However, Scogin soon returned with The Chariot. “Creating something out of nothing ... It is the basic concept of art,” he said.

Produced in Atlanta, Georgia, Everything Is Alive, Everything Is Breathing, Nothing Is Dead, and Nothing Is Bleeding is The Chariot's debut album. “I don’t strive for long titles,” Scogin explains. “I do make sure that every single title has purpose and meaning though. The album title is pretty much just trying to break away from the ‘dead, dying, bleeding, bloody, stabbing, killing, shooting, hand grenading’ you get the idea. It is just trying to say that life is actually okay.” Everything Is Alive, Everything Is Breathing, Nothing Is Dead, and Nothing Is Bleeding Everything Is Alive, Everything Is Breathing, Nothing Is Dead, and Nothing Is Bleeding is the debut album by Douglasville, GAs The Chariot. ...

The band has stated that their name comes from a passage in the Bible, in the book of 2 Kings, the story of Elijah being taken into heaven by God in a chariot of fire. The name 'the chariot' kind of represents the idea that as Christians, we should live our lives in such a way as to where God would be pleased with us like he was with Elijah and want to take us from Earth into heaven like that.

"New Members"

In the early stages of every band, members often change due to whatever reason. And in this case it is no different. Having only done one full length record The Chariot is a very young band, and some changes have come. The only difference is for The Chariot many people have grown to know the members very well, which only makes changes like this more difficult to understand. But we rest in knowing you will. Recently, Keller and Beiser have quit the band for reasons of their own. Although it is something they felt they had to do, we would like for everyone to welcome newcomers Dan Eaton and Jon Terrey. They have been best friends of The Chariot for much longer than the band has existed so everyone is eye to eye on the love of music and the band is very much excited about the change. Obviously, the music will remain the same and every show is still booked and ready to go. They have currently started writing for their new record scheduled to come out early next year. "The songs we have written are by far some of my favorite songs yet," Scogin explains, "Obviously we love Keller and Beiser and we wish the best for them, but we respect their decision and we look forward to see what is to come." We do hope to see you soon. God bless everyone.
