For Today - Fight The Silence (Official Music Video)

[@theherald3117]

The movie “The Sound of Freedom brought me here. Ten years ago For Today recorded this song. Many have been trying to bring attention to the human trafficking problem for decades

[@RobertTrejo-lc3es]

Shout out to them using their voice to impact

[@vanderleigarciagarcia3638]

🙏🇧🇷🙏

[@allelite330]

And now we have Diddy...when does this stop..it's time we do something

[@viniciuslopes7029]

Yes🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Yousnoob]

I hope this song gains some traction again, after the release of Sound Of Freedom.

[@jorrogboe]

I'm not religious at all yet I find myself loving Christian metal bands more than other bands.

[@ethanbagley471]

A lot of them do have really good messages. I feel like they are putting out positive things in their lyrics. It's a lot better than a metal band who fake worships Satan or actually does. Either way it's not helping anyone really. A lot of Christian bands have good messages that don't have to always strictly coheed to their religious beliefs. You might just like 'em for their sick breakdowns XD Just kinda my outlook on it.

[@vuddlwotan9571]

i pray for you Greetings from Germany God bless you

[@fallingtoearth810]

I feel like the lack of existential angst kinda takes the punch out of it though. The reason a lot of metal has satanic undertones is because it defies much of the religious dogma the majority of people live by. That said, christian metal isn't worse per se, and I liked this song a lot. I just have a hard time feeling the same authenticity and energy from it.

[@shaneappis9129]

This song and music video should have been played at the end of The Sound of Freedom.

[@wiliansoares2199]

Nine years later I had the immense pleasure of meeting this band. #Jesus_Christ_is_the_Savior

[@juandrayo]

God’s children are not for sale. I’ve been listening to this song since 2016 and I can’t help but cry. In the comfort of my home, with my family, writing this… while people are forced to sex slavery. What must a man do to help those? How does a man help? I feel so lost. God guide me and protect everyone in this comment section. God please bless everyone who sees this video and may you impact them as greatly as you impacted me. Lord Jesus, you gave me a gift, and that is to be a great Doctor. God I ask that you guide me through the darkness and show me how to use your gifts to serve the world. In Lord Jesus’ name Amen.

[@Connie1955]

The Kingdom of God suffers violence; and the violent take it by force. This loud screaming song fits perfectly the chaos and utter terror these helpless, voiceless victims suffer over & over again. Father have mercy on these children & send angels to comfort & minister to their suffering. Show us all our part no matter how big or small it is. Let this ROAR be heard!!!

[@BleghMaster94]

For today, you guys need to come back.

[@deanainsworth1757]

Sound of Freedom movie just reminded me of this song.

[@Thall_yt]

same here

[@earonie]

Just watched a documentary about human trafficking in Great Britain and I just remembered this song again.. It's probably been 4 years since I listened to this the last time.. Seems like the band left an impact on me

[@ronzg]

Nothing Jesus can't handle, but definitely something we can't without Him.

[@SkithTickler]

How's that going?

[@ronzg]

@@SkithTickler still walking with the LORD, He blesses me every day. He gives me peace when I don’t feel so blessed.

[@TheTyronecus]

9 years and many listens later and this song still chokes me up. I have to fight back tears, so heartbreaking.

[@Hoe-SwayMaldonado]

It sucks when I think about songs on the radio and the remember the message of this song and this album and nobody gives a fuck

[@nih1lgante]

When Christian bands have stronger songs ( both instrumetal and lyrics). I am atheist, yet, their songs give me chills and the messages are quite special

[@KyleHurd]

Bro, you're experiencing God, you may not realize it but you are.

[@fallenfreak828]

I'm right there with you, Diego. Yes most of FT's music is strongly christian themed. But I just look at it as a band that's badass and it's alright if they have different views than me

[@TheExpressionx]

Check out Silent Planet then my dude

[@mr.breton6314]

the chills are the holy spirit brother let god in dont push him out its for the better

[@williamminyard8508]

@@mr.breton6314 i was thinking same thing..

[@EvaGabryelle]

"For Today are warriors in service to Christ!" God bless you!

[@ghostgate82]

Funny how mainstream music never talks about anything of substance like this. I wonder why...

[@TheSimonHxC]

[@lydiafaith3882]

Denial? maybe?

[@ghostgate82]

Lydia Faith I think it is because it's not very profitable and it doesn't fit the "pro chaos" agenda.

[@lydiafaith3882]

I don't think people want to know whats wrong in life. They're too wrapped up in their own little worlds and don't want the outside problems to dampen their temporal bliss.

[@ghostgate82]

Lydia Faith You're right. However, that sounds alot like cattle before they get made into tasty steaks and burgers. I don't want to be someone else's steak or burger. Personal preference? Or just smart...?

[@melsop54]

This band got big, but they SHOULD have been a TON bigger than they ever were. 2022 and it is still just as good as ever!

[@_0li_]

i miss you for Today... 😢😢😢

[@samm7629]

did you ever notice it's only metal songs that send a message. no wonder people don't appreciate others

[@tommymarino1788]

Sam M Each genre has its ups and downs, but I do agree with you, Metal is way more down to earth than other genres.

[@ChlamydiaIntensifies]

Sam M This isn't metal but meh I'm not gonna rek you or anything about the genre's right now(For Today is metalcore, btw). I've seen some songs from other genres like indie, indie pop and such with good messages, just never as good as other messages like say OM&M have. Also, I'm not a Christian, I'm an atheist, but I do enjoy For Today's music :P

[@zepherman11]

Sam M actually their is a lot of hip hop artist who will try and send this message as well as reggae bands

[@ChlamydiaIntensifies]

If you listen to hip-hop artists on a channel like SwagyTracks, they have meaning. Shit like waka flaka? nah

[@smithterrell92]

Skyy | Editor well we aren't specifically talking about Waka Flocka. There are plenty of rappers that talk about useless crap and there are some that try to send a good message. Don't generalize douche

[@MsOrangeSlushie]

I still love this band and wish they'd get back together. Their music was so incredibly powerful and convicting ❤️

[@BleghMaster94]

I want "for today" to come back.

[@ChallengerTCofficial]

I totally agree with you on that 😢

[@allelite330]

It's time now more than ever to fight the silence!. Stand for your beliefs and stand against trafficking.

[@danarosenthal9472]

As a trafficking survivor I greatly appreciate you 💜💜💜💜💜

[@AlDean-k5u]

Me too my sister ❤❤❤

[@RoonPoons]

to anyone who downs for today are crap for a human being. This song gave me chill bumps. Music with a Message. This is what music should be about. Thank you For Today for staying true to your messages.

[@DustinHolliday]

this is the kind of band we need in this genre just because most of heavy metal genre is corrupt and this band is trying to bring light to it

[@DustinHolliday]

for real !!

[@jakobfel2]

For Today IS relatively simplistic compared to some metalcore bands (a good example of the contrast in complexity is Killswitch Engage), but I still love their music. They have great lyrics, Mattie's screaming is incredible, and their songs are really heavy.

[@RoonPoons]

I'm not going to lie guys. KSE is not technical in regards to other bands I've heard. Check out ERRA and Born of Osiris, Rings of Saturn and Human Abstract.

[@zaca.7583]

Dustin Holliday *Metalcore not Heavy Metal

[@Mr2drummer2]

This is heartbreaking but also encouraging knowing that people are taking a stand for Christ for those strongly effected by human trafficking. The lyrics, "only a coward would try to ignore it", really hits home. The only hope in all of this is Jesus Christ and in what He is doing through His people. What people don't understand is that this stuff breaks the heart of God. Some say He doesn't exist or He must not care and love people enough to allow this. God's heart is for the broken and suffering, and there is healing, restoration, and life in His only Son Jesus Christ.

[@Datgodtank]

What i like about this kind of music is that most of these bands sets a focus on the problems in the world instead of the pop music that is blinded towards everything except love.

[@audreybowser7433]

That is very true.

[@Datgodtank]

Audrey Bowser Glad you agree :)

[@audreybowser7433]

:)

[@timothysit1393]

Spon I agree

[@timothysit1393]

Spon I wish more bands would do more things like this

[@leoca8691]

People thinks metal genres are all about hate and evil... But the fact is that metal is the most emotional genre ever. I loved this message.

[@Animefandom189]

Christians (True Christians) do NOT hate homosexuals. We love them just as the person they are we are commanded to do. We do NOT however support their union before God. We should not love them less or treat them differently and I have even learned a bit about myself from interacting with them. They are just people guys. Whatever choice they make is between them and God

[@baciliahernandez6167]

Thank you! I have been trying to figure out how to explain this for a while, but couldn't find the words!:)

[@Bogoslov2007]

I'm from Russia and don't understand all the lyrics but i should say that message of this song is very important and significant. Young people must know it to prevent in their own life and at the scale in which they are able to do so. Christ is Risen!

[@merringuthrie2587]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard

[@huntypenguin2058]

agreed

[@adamcundiff2095]

I played this for my grandma, she wanted to pray for me since I liked the "devil's music"...........

[@merringuthrie2587]

XD Did you tell her they were christian

[@Stephen-zw7km]

man, i hate it when grandma's are like that, my grandma is horrified by rock, never mind death metal. lol

[@brochachoh5260]

+Stephen Lange my grandmother laughs at metal she thinks it's funny

[@TheSerg2319]

We need For Today more than ever 😢

[@creasonjack]

I don't understand all the negative comments about this band. I am a huge supporter for metalcore, heavy metal music when our Lord and Savior is at the focal point. It may all sound the same as other metalcore bands but that is not the point. Its time we all grow up and keep our eyes to the sky and praise the Lord for bands making music for awareness about something so negative. Keep rocking it For Today.

[@laurala4403]

It’s about time

[@williamcorley2477]

its crazy that most kids parents call this music "emo, trash, satanic, unholy" but truth being most of these bands send extremely powerful messages like ghost by august burns red or almost every song by issues. take princton avenue for example. holy shit the message it has, or Memphis may fire with no ordinary love, yet they praise pop for being good music. like hell no dude. this music IS THE GOOD MUSIC

[@km16278]

william corley true.

[@Dee-ix2gk]

I totally agree. people out here just brainwash just because how it sounds and the appearance,and what other people say about it,. But their are Christian band out their that show God and normal popularity band that not of Satan. Like for today and other Christian band like Darkness divided, sleeping giant, war of ages, phinehas, skillet, haste the day, nine lashed, forevermore, as I lay dying, oh sleeper, Memphis may fire, underoath, Red, disciple, fireflight, decyfer, And The popularity band is bless the fall, miss may I, We came as roman, the word alive.

[@km16278]

what pisses me tf off is that people think rap is amazing, even though most of it talks about drugs and sex, and this stuff makes me people feel less alone and sends good messages

[@Dee-ix2gk]

+ Tranquility princess I totally agree. People out just brainwash and crazy. This band talking about and have good messages and talking about not being a long. Just like other Christian band out here and some popularity band.

[@FromUpNorth9345]

Probably because of the screaming and growling in a lot of metal bands but, it’s just a style that makes it more fun

[@justbrisaved]

I was wondering why God was angry with me recently (I am a Christian) and after this video I realized I have taken everything for granted and have been complaining about my life. Yes, I was abused and exploited but not trapped and not to this extent... not even a hint of a percent of what these young women have experienced. And here I am in my comfortable living space free and free of children from any of those situations I went through. I am ashamed of myself. No wonder God was angry with me. May God have mercy on these beautiful souls and free their minds. May God forgive me.

[@EXTREAMJESUS]

9 years ago and people are finally opening their eyes 🙏🏽

[@Juanheco16]

Come baaaackkkk!!!

[@zhinerol]

7 years have past and this song still gives me chills and such a powerful song and lyrics...the world needs to recognize this old age problem and not turn a blind eye

[@ravagedDust]

One of the only bands that can be so heavy but hit me so hard emotionally that it draws tears out of me sometimes.

[@scottrolen27mvp]

It's beautiful isn't it? =]

[@ska10113]

the silence is breaking at a rapid rate as of late.

[@ForTheRock]

I feel this song is very applicable to the situation our brothers and sisters are facing in the middle east! no one seems to care that children are being beheaded for proclaiming Christ!

[@Minton07-Gaming]

I'm from the middle east, and i approve this message :) +1 for the band, I'm a new fan... would love to listen to more to bands like this, open for suggestions

[@Christinalovestheshepherd1995]

Pray to rescue these girls 🙏

[@emilmuhammad1152]

Why are so many arguing about the messages in Christian music? Can you not hear and see what this song is about??? I'm sure we can all agree that THIS song has an important message that everyone needs to hear, especially those fools who think this doesn't happen in the states to people from the states; and maybe their next door neighbor. Anyway people need to realize that this was made to bring attention to a very real issue that has been infecting society for too long of a time instead of trying to stab each other through the face with comments. Have a great day, and God bless.

[@no_reservations25]

This song has really motivated me to start a local community awareness program through my work. I work with the public and a large corporation and want to spread awareness of the signs to look for in a human trafficking operation. I guess a big red flag for human trafficking operations are illegitimate businesses like massage parlors or spa treatment places. Also, truck stops are probably a huge one...God bless you for writing this song and inspiring those who have listened to it.

[@xhere14]

Damn dawg , I had no idea things like this were going on. I feel like crying ,yo. Seriously .

[@eyalleviton2617]

so punch a wall like everyone else to get your manliness back :P

[@BMPremo]

Being manly isn't punching a wall. It's standing up for people like sex traffic victims who can't stand up for themselves.

[@Xbvb666X]

i first learned about it in school, but as schools do, it was extremely sugar coated. they said there were millions of sex slaves but they didnt go into detail. this video is very eye opening and i feel terrible for those that suffer and rage for the ones that do this crime.

[@matiusdiaz8320]

2024 I still listener, good band.🎉

[@SandandMetal]

2023 this song is still so relevant, and the problem is even worse now. We need God.

[@9502937]

We need to spread this video now while the time is right with all the attention to Sound of Freedom. These guys were bringing attention this issue ten years ago. Awesome.

[@TheYishua]

God has glorified these guys with the power to scream out for what they believe in stand up for the hopeless, if that's not motivation I don't know what is but what I do know is that everyone has the power to realize that people are losing their faith second by second, we are the only ones who can stand up and breathe life into the hopeless, GOD WILL PREVAIL

[@RobotUnicorn420]

Amen we are the voice for the voiceless and the hope for the hopeless! God calls us to be the hands and feet of Jesus, so we need to share His love and Gospel. We need to comfort these women (and men) who have been forced into one of the worst, if not the worst, forms of slavery. This song amped me up and this video moved my heart. Lord have mercy!

[@Ballistic180]

Seriously, God bless these gentlemen for taking a stand and trying to make change in this sick and darkened world full of evil. Keep pushing forward brothers.

[@ΓιώργοςΝίκου-δ6β]

I love this band, I hope they come to Greece!!!!!!!!!!

[@osbourneagain2496]

It is better to be hated for doing what is right than to be hated for wrong-doing. Good Christian saints remember this, be steadfast.

[@JosephFontenot74]

For Today is a great band, they stay true to their convictions and that is commendable. Having been deployed to S. Korea for a year and seeing how Human trafficking is a real and horrific thing it's great that they are bringing more awareness about this. Can't wait for the CD to be released.

[@moiseslopez1798]

Please make a new album 🙏

[@who3420]

they stopped making music few years ago , not because of some fight but because they wanted to move on in life , no more albums sadly.

Powerful message! God bless you guys!!

[@WDWP18]

I haven't always been a fan of this band but I remember meeting Mattie Montgomery when he still had dreads in Long Island for a Life In Your Way Show and he was reading the bible and seriously searching for answers. Regardless if what people say or think about this band Mattie is sincere and doing what he thinks for himself and others is right. I applaud them for creating more and more consciousness about human trafficking as well as building more and more safer places for people to seek out God or community. Bands like this although at times not always my favorite music, really leave an impression that the gospel is still real today and that music even "christian" music can help in the cause for social change. I recommend Sleeping Giant as well you will be surely blessed.

[@cammac4194]

this is definitely one of my favorite bands here recently i have found myself listening to them on spotify and at work on here. I love that they are not afraid to sing about the things of this world that not many people are willing to sing about. #christianmetalforthewin. keep singing about the things you do guys it helps alot more people than you think it does. As always, may the glory go to GOD for he is the one that showed us unconditional love. Psalm 104:33 I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.

[@SuperGibby]

10 years later and I feel this song holds up to more than just human trafficking and can be used for what’s going on with the Palestine and Israel conflict more people should be speaking up and taking a stance on what is basically a ethnic cleansing happening right now

[@allex_with2ls]

That last breakdown is soooo sick

[@Trevyno101]

I've never heard of this band until about 20 minutes ago. This band is one of the best in this genre in my opinion. Not just because the sound is good, but because it truly speaks of what is wrong and corrupt in the world today.

this song is fucking certainly on my top 5 of the best songs of this genre. Lyrics, vocals, screaming, guitars' voices, drums everything is better than better. Love this band and song. Can't wait for the whole album. Also, what's more important is I'll purchase it with cash for the first time if you take that I've been listening to this genre for 5-6 years into consideration, this is really milestone.
