The band also premieres the official music video for 'Bitter Roots' today at this location: Commented singer Mattie Montgomery: "Our new song 'Bitter Roots' is a dramatic departure from much of what For Today has been known for. We decided to break the mold and simply write what was inside us, without worrying about fitting in a particular genre box. While it's very different, we love the song, and we're so excited to share it with the world." INTERNATIONAL PRESS QUOTES "A wall of breakdowns, singing guitars, epic melodies and heavy shouts, that tear down anything!" EMP (GER) / Peter Kupfer "In it's best moments, "Wake" is as brutal as a strong THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA record and will compliment the kung fu moshpits in the live situation!" METAL HAMMER (GER) / Eike Cramer "The metalcore bulldozer is back - heavier and even more uncompromised than ever before!" ALLSCHOOLS (GER) / Felix Martin "...the band's strongest effort so far!" LEGACY (GER) / Arne Kupetz "FOR TODAY play thrilling modern metal, mixing heavy riffs with great melodies. Varied and diverse!" PIRANHA (GER) / Sascha Blach "PARKWAY DRIVE at their momentum, in potentia = "Wake"!" FUZE (GER) / Silke Händeler "An amazingly powerful band!" STORMBRINGER (AT) / Gabriel Aigner "With pounding drums and brutal screams balanced with catchy melodies, Wake is a standout album from a band that’s finally found the formula to success.” HYSTERIA MAG (AU) ‘’Gloomier than its predecessors, Wake balances its dark, chugging aggression with a more refined ear for melancholy melody.’’ BLUNT (AU) ‘’Wake, the new release by FOR TODAY, hits like a clenched fist in a velvet glove. Their white-knuckled assault of punk-meets-metal is draped in a layer of finesse and musicality that knocks the air out of listeners. Give them a try and brace for an energised showcase of modern metal at its tightest.’’ MUSIC INJECTION (AU) “Evolutionary, revolutionary, exemplary. FOR TODAY has it all – and ‘Wake’ is definitely the best attempt at portraying all that greatness. Top of the bill metalcore with a strong will to make a change.” LORDS OF METAL (NL) / Daniel ""Wake" is a living proof that Christian metalcore is alive and doing well in 2015. Perfect blend of melodic yet heavy riffs and agression!" KAAOSZINE (FI) „FOR TODAY keep preaching the faith: ferocity and aggression!“ MYROCK (FR)
