Praiser

In der Astrastube geben wir unser erste Debut-Konzert dieses Jahr und in Hamburg. Ab 20:00 Uhr oder so ist Einlass (kostet wohl auch 6-8€) und als Support-Band kommt aus Holland „the Spirit that guides us“, deren schmuckes Armband ich knapp 1,5 Jahre bei Wind und Wetter trug:

Jedenfalls steht hier noch mehr zu dem Thema: http://www.hamburg-magazin.de/veranstaltungen-neu/detailansicht.html?terminuid=332850&aktion=detail&von=27.06.2011&bis=25.06.2012&ort=Astra-Stube&sorti=1&dates=5

Wir sehen uns, wird spassich,

Keller

..eh…Praiser ist natürlich Support und STGU MainAct 🙂

well, we are recording since yesterday and have finished the basic drum and guitar parts for 20 songs… tomorrow we will add bass and vocals and maybe some guitar melodies… it will be rough and old school but we are blessed with our recording-expert, the mighty tigerbird who used to work as an engineer and in studios for years and who owns some nice equipment, so we are sure that the result will be great and punk as it should be…

in our galleries you find some pics.. check em out

well, we’re done…. i think we got 20 new tracks now since the last recordings… it might have been more but we decided to delete some from our list during the last weeks…

so here we go: the last 3 „new“ tracks, a re-recorded older one with a new ending and our try to play some oi-punk hehe

if everything works fine, we’ll record the new stuff in june and release it again for free via this site

guilt

When i was young
i truly believed
that this world is pretty
and life might be beautiful
i enjoyed the good things
given to me
every day seemed
to be so amazing

later i realized
that’s not how this planet works
the clean and spotless movie-life
is nothing but a lie

this earth is shaken
by unjustice and slaughter
exploitation and poverty
and we are feasting on the wrecked ones

so how can i be happy?
knowing all this darkness
and how can i enjoy things?
when they are made of others pain?

Thanks for destroying my illusions
and my dreams

crappy mankind
all that remains is:
guilt

lyrics by marcus

habits

I don’t wanna die
but i sometimes i can’t stand this life
where is the fire
the fire i was waiting for?

Daily grind
nothing changes
every sunday
the same sermons

tons of books
about visions
but reality
seems so different

i once had a dream
to see gods beauty everywhere
i once had a dream
to lose all fear and start to dare
i once had a dream
to see smilin‘ the broken ones
i once had a dream
the (wrecked) kids might know. theres another chance

but
we’re stuck in our habits
work, church, hobbies, watching tv
while the real adventure with jesus christ
runs through our hands like sand – why don’t we see

lyrics by marcus

Thanks

thanks to the punks
who’ve been nice to us
thanks to the squatters
who didnt judge
but took their time
and got to know us

thanks to the studios
where we recorded tracks
thanks to the zines
who reacted relaxed
thanks to the people
booking shows for us

and thanks to jesus christ
for whom we’re doin‘ this stuff
thank to the father
who provides us with his love
thanks to the spirit
who gives hope to our lifes

lyrics by marcus

well, we did the following one again, cause of a new ending:

and due to andré looking like a skinhead with his short hair and poloshirt we tried some oi but we failed 🙂

ok, the first one isn’t new cause we already posted a video for this song but we changed the ending a little.. so here is „all i need“ in a updated version

but now dear visitors, 3 new tracks:

restart

This is a restart
sick of the last years
it’s time to focus again
on christ
and christ only

where did i go?
wrong direction
filled with lies and darkness
wrecking myself

stop

i take your hand lord
dont care what they say
i peer my eyes on you
cause youre the only way

i trust in you lord
every new day
you are my hope lord
this world only breeds death and decay

and i dont wanna die
i wanna live
heal me and restore your strength in my soul

i dont wanna fade
i wanne shine
help me to walk your path and leave the darkened past behind

lyrics by marcus

Amok

get out of my way
cause i lost all control
better step aside
or you might get hurt

i never wanted this
but i cant change it anymore
betrayed my ideals
broke my vows

i run amok… amok
i run amok

only christ can restore what i destroyed

lyrics by marcus

glance

hey hey politician
so great what you achieved
by lyin‘ and bein‘ a jerk
with no heart indeed

but you still got not
power over me

hey hey police officer
nice uniform you wear
you represent the law
by making homeless people leave

you still got no
power over me

hey hey beloved preacher
who knows the word so well
who likes the limelight and the glory
can’t admit when he fell

i can’t show any respect for you

all you who seem so mighty
so strong and bold and pure
you are like whitewashed tombs
deceiving others with your lure

i won’t be misleaded
by your glance

lyrics by marcus

That was awesome. I did not bleed like last time, i even had a real nice chat with the swell guys from my favourite band (guess which) and Matt Covey (Drummer) was nice enough to stand still for a sec to get photographed (as proof of me being there).

My throat is pretty sore but thats the price i gladly pay for singing along all of my favourite songs (yep, they played all of them). So, Praiser is gonna hit the next practice freshly inspired and me craving to play just a tiny bit as good as i heard drums being played tonight :).

Have a safe tour, dear Fremen-friends, and god bless.

well, we head straight towards a new recording session … so here are 2 more brandnew tracks from the rehearsal room … just to get an idea of the sound… lyrics are also available:

remember my words

remember my words
when the dead walk the earth
when the sick are getting healed
and when demons will flee

‚cause either the word is true
then it’s time to start
or it’s nothing but lies
then i’m the first to fall apart

but i believe in christ
in his power and his love
and it’s not bout show nor money
but bout blessings through strength from above
and it’s not bout condemnation
but bout the message of grace and forgiveness
the biggest power ever been
and the only one free from selfishness

so go go go go go go
in the name of christ

lyrics by marcus

Ton Steine Dutschke

Tolstoi was a christian
Dutschke believed too
and Rio read the bible
even quoted it in the lyrics sheet

and what about liberation theology
or the catholic workers movement?
even ensslin read the word of god
did i mention bonhoeffer and scholl?

so don’t bore me with your lies
that christians can’t be part of the fight

against unjustice and oppression
who are you to decide?
who are you to segregate us?
while we could stand side by side

yeah we could have fought side by side

lyrics by marcus

Leute,

es ist wieder soweit, die streitbar beste Band der Welt kommt nach Hamburg in den Hafenklang: 21.04.2011 „Frühkonzert“ ab 18:30 oder so.

Praiser ist dabei. Zwar (noch) nicht auf dem Podium aber ganz bestimmt dicht dran. Und Hardcore-Legenden wie die Sandwurmjungs sind
sehr rar in unserer Szene und gehören unterstützt.
Falls ihr also nix vorhabt an nem Donnerstag abend, dann sehen wir uns dort.

Diesmal hoffentlich ohne Blut und Platzwunde :).

Segen,

Keller

well… started 2 new songs today … so we got 12 new tunes now, some more will follow and soon some new recordings will be available … you can get a lil impression in the following videos and also find the lyrics below…

if it wasn’t for christ

full of crap
full of darkness
failure forever
no chance to prevail

thank god
he doesn’t see me this way
but i do
oh yeah i do

no discipline
big talkin‘ but no consequences

fallin‘ down again
betrayin‘ my principles

if it wasn’t for christ
i couldn’t stand this life

aware of having been a jerk
so many times

god may be merciful
but sometimes i can’t forgive myself at all

lyrics by marcus

Jesus is number one

If this band is more important
i’ll flush it down the toilet

if my style is more important
i’d rather wear „suits and ties“

if the „jesus freaks“ are more important
i better stay away from them

if my records are more important
i break them and throw them in the garbage can

cause jesus
is number one
forever
for all times

jesus
is number one
and nothing
has the right to take his place

if a pretty girl is more important
i better stay alone

if an attractive job is more important
i’d rather do the crap work instead

if political actions are more important
it’s not my revolution

if anything is more important
its time to go and let it die

lyrics by marcus

well.. again… we rehearsed and practiced 3 new tracks… you can get a little idea via the following clips and also check out the lyrics

In thoughtlessness i loose myself
Living other worlds, escape the now
in here i am invincible
Makes me dull, soften my edge

I feel the need to waste
feel temptation overcome
deliverance is just another attempt
to make excuse for today

Theres only one way out.
I surrender, i embrace your guiding hand
the best you want for me is all i need
In this i place my trust, in this i submit

lyrics by andré

Manipulate

use the right words
manipulate
push the people once more
manipulate
turn the volume up
manipulate
play some touching chords
manipulate

does it feel good
this kind of power?
does it feel good
when you play with them?
does it feel good
when they follow your words?
does it feel good
when you control them?

is this what jesus meant?
No – think for yourself
is this what god wants us to be?
No – walk your own way

that’s why it is called:
„personal relationship with god“

jesus was bout freedom
jesus meant real liberty
leading people away from anything
that kept them in any boundaries
your system of religious meetings
is bout people staying children in faith
it means bein‘ dependent on your leader
your preacher and the words he’s sayin‘

as if they need some extra push
by the worship band
as if they need you to meet jesus
or to take his hand
as if they need some extra words
to feel that he’s here
as if they need you to contact him

stay away from me – stay away from me- stay away from me

lyrics by marcus

All i need

When i inhale
i wanna inhale you – holy spirit
and when i exhale
i want to exhale you – holy spirit

i wanna be drenched by you
and every word i say
and every thought i have
shall be filled with your presence

take this weak heart
and fill it with your life
take this mortal soul
and soak it with your fire
you live in me
i dwell in you

all i need
is you

lyrics by marcus
