'''Amen''' (sometimes all-capitalised to '''AMEN''') is a cross-genre [[hard rock]] band mainly taking influence from [[heavy metal music]] and [[1980s]] [[punk rock]]. They have had a number of different band members, with lead vocalist [[Casey Chaos]] the only surviving member of the original lineup. They have been voted "Overall Best Band in the World" and "Best Live Band in the World" by readers of ''[[Metal Hammer Magazine]]''. Like iconic [[Industrial Rock|industrial rockers]] [[Nine Inch Nails]], the band's frontman writes all the music and lyrics and performs all instruments (bar drums, since the album ''Amen'') for studio recordings.

'''Amen''' was an American band that combined elements of [[punk rock|punk]] and [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]]. It was formed in Los Angeles in 1994 by frontman and singer [[Casey Chaos]] (real name Karim Chmielinski).<ref>{{Cite web|date=November 12, 2004 |title=Former AMEN Guitarist Accuses CASEY CHAOS Of 'Embezzling' Funds From Bandmembers |url=https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/former-amen-guitarist-accuses-casey-chaos-of-embezzling-funds-from-bandmembers/ |access-date=April 2, 2023 |website=[[Blabbermouth.net]]}}</ref> Although the band experienced little success in the United States, Amen attracted a significant following in the United Kingdom. The band saw continuous changes in membership, with Casey Chaos remaining the sole original member, before Chaos's death in late 2024.

==History==

Early recordings were created ca. 1994 by Casey Chaos in the basement of his Los Angeles home, playing each instrument himself and using the name Amen to release the subsequent EP. Chaos later met [[Paul Figueroa]] through the LA music scene, and they formed a partnership. In the following months and years, the band expanded to include drummer [[Shannon Larkin]], guitarist [[Sonny Mayo]] and bassist [[John Fahnestock]], and they were signed to metal label [[Roadrunner Records]].

== History ==

Following the release of their epnoymous album, produced by [[Ross Robinson]], the band were set to tour Europe in December of 1999. This did not happen, with the band blaming a last-minute withdrawal of funding shortly prior to departure. Following this incident, Amen and Roadrunner went their separate ways. Subsequently several band members left, accompanied by a perceived drop in popularity. Chaos was helped out by friend [[Daron Malakian]], whom he had met while both Amen and Malakian's band [[System of a Down]] were touring Australia as part of the [[Big Day Out]] music festival. Amen were the first band signed to Malakian's [[EatUrMusic]] label, and their subsequent release, ''Death Before Musick'', was regarded as being a mild commercial success.

=== Formation and debut (1994) ===

Amen was formed in 1994 in Los Angeles, California, after the disbanding of its frontman and singer Casey Chaos's previous band, Disorderly Conduct. The name "Amen" is a reference to the title of Disorderly Conduct's 1986 album of the same name.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/Disorderly-Conduct-Amen/release/2419790|title=Disorderly Conduct – Amen|work=[[Discogs]]|date=August 18, 1986 |access-date=April 24, 2017}}</ref>

The band's first album, ''Slave'', was written and performed almost entirely by Chaos himself, with Greg Barrybauer performing guitars and keyboards on a few tracks. ''Slave'' was recorded at Sandbox & Marquee West and mixed at Convent Studio in Los Angeles, California, and was limited to a run of only 2000 copies.

The 2005 tour supporting the album ''Death Before Musick'' was postponed when Chaos was rushed into hospital. Apparently against medical advice the tour was restarted a couple of months late.

This led to lead singer Chaos being introduced to producer [[Ross Robinson]], and the two collaborated and soon secured a deal with [[Roadrunner Records]].

==Members==

:''Many members have participated in other projects. These are listed under [[#Trivia|Trivia]].''

=== ''Amen'' and major label debut (1994–1999) ===

After being signed to Roadrunner Records and working with producer Ross Robinson, Chaos went on to write the songs for Amen's major-label debut, the self-titled album ''[[Amen (Amen album)|Amen]]''. For the album, the band expanded to include one-time [[Ugly Kid Joe]] drummer [[Shannon Larkin]], bassist [[John Fahnestock]], a.k.a. Tumor, and guitarists Paul Fig and [[Sonny Mayo]]. On September 21, 1999, ''Amen'' was the band's major label debut. However, the band parted ways at the end of that same year due to lack of support; this resulted in their tour schedule being shortened, including the cancellation of a whole tour of Europe.

The song "The Price of Reality" was released as a single before the album's release. A promotional video was created for the song that featured the same iconic styling and art direction as the album cover and artwork used by Amen during this time. In 2002, it was included on the ''Streetwise'' DVDs at [[FYE (retailer)|FYE]] and was named ''[[Metal Hammer]]'' magazine's Video of the Year.

The success of the album would spawn years of touring in support of the album, including a 2002 re-release of the album in Australia for [[Big Day Out]], before which Paul Fig left the band and [[Rich Jones (musician)|Rich Jones]] joined on guitar.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/Amen-We-Have-Come-For-Your-Parents/release/2462833|title=Amen (2) – We Have Come For Your Parents|work=discogs.com|access-date=April 24, 2017}}</ref>

By 2002, ''We Have Come for your Parents'' was voted the second-best album of the year by ''[[Rock Sound]]'' magazine and fourth best album of the year by ''Kerrang!''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.officialcaseychaos.com/bio/index.html|title=Official CASEY CHAOS & AMEN Website|work=officialcaseychaos.com|access-date=April 24, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170701024949/http://officialcaseychaos.com/bio/index.html|archive-date=July 1, 2017|url-status=usurped}}</ref> The band had also spent several months towards the end of 2001 recording their fourth album, again with producer Ross Robinson. However, Virgin Records ultimately shelved the album due to it not being "a commercial enough proposition to pursue". The band was eventually released from their contract in March 2002,<ref>{{Cite web|last=Blabbermouth|date=March 4, 2002|title=AMEN Officially Part With Virgin Records|url=https://search.blabbermouth.net/news/amen-officially-part-with-virgin-records/|access-date=February 15, 2022|website=BLABBERMOUTH.NET}}</ref> but was not allowed to take the recorded material with them unless they paid $200,000 recording costs of the album, which they did not pay back due to financial struggles caused by the album's delay.

During this time, Amen released ''[[Join, or Die (album)|Join, or Die]]'', a collection of b-sides and rare songs recorded by the band. The album was released through Chaos's new label, Refuse Music, and was initially limited to only 2000 copies, the first 1000 signed in Chaos's own blood. The album was sold by Amen during their 2003 tour in the United Kingdom. During this time, guitarist Sonny Mayo and bassist John Fahnestock left the band.

=== ''Death Before Musick'' and ''Gun of a Preacher Man'' (2003–2007) ===

In 2003, Chaos worked with [[Daron Malakian]] of [[System of a Down]] on a demo tape for his project [[Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway|Scars on Broadway]]. When Malakian started his own record label EatUrMusic, an imprint of [[Columbia Records]], Amen became the first band he signed.<ref>{{Cite magazine|author=Billboard Staff|date=June 2, 2003|title=System Of A Down Guitarist Signs Label Deal|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/system-of-a-down-guitarist-signs-label-deal-70784/|access-date=February 15, 2022|magazine=Billboard|language=en-US}}</ref> The band added bassist [[Scott Sorry]], guitarist Matt Montgomery ([[Piggy D.]]) and drummer [[Luke Johnson (musician)|Luke Johnson]], who would in turn record the band's next album, their fourth release, ''[[Death Before Musick]]'', which was released on April 13, 2004.

The lead single, "California's Bleeding", would become Amen's highest-ranking track, reaching Number 52 on the UK charts and staying there for two weeks in April 2004.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/search/singles/california%27s%20bleeding/|title=california%27s+bleeding – full Official Chart History – Official Charts Company|work=officialcharts.com|access-date=April 24, 2017}}</ref> A promotional video was made featuring the band slowly getting more and more bloodied, with a second version of the video showing less blood.

During this time, [[Rich Jones (musician)|Rich Jones]] left the band, and [[Acey Slade]] joined.

The February 1, 2003, show, recorded at Manchester Academy, was released by Amen in 2004, for their first live video, ''Caught in the Act'', on [[DVD]]. On August 2, 2005, the same show was released on CD by Snapper Records under the title ''[[Gun of a Preacher Man]]''.

In 2005, Casey Chaos released ''Pisstory: A Catalogue of Accidents, a Lifetime of Mistakes'' through his label, Refuse Music, which included a number of previously unreleased Amen songs. Also in this year, the band toured the UK, with a lineup including [[Jinxx]], [[Joe Letz]], John King and Nate Manor.

In 2007, Amen appeared on Season 2, Episode 14 of ''[[The Henry Rollins Show]]'', where they performed their first single, "Coma America" (renamed "Coma Amerikkka" for this performance), in front of an [[Flag of Iraq|Iraqi flag]]. The lineup at this point welcomed back John Fahnestock, [[Duke Decter]] and new member Chris Alaniz, while still including John King. Soon after the performance, the band toured the UK. This became their most recent tour.

That same year, Chaos was voted Number 53 among the "All-Time Top 100 Underground Stars" in a 2007 issue of ''[[Hit Parader]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.officialcaseychaos.com/press/2007/hit_parader/index.html|title=Hit Parader 2007|work=officialcaseychaos.com|access-date=April 24, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304070857/http://www.officialcaseychaos.com/press/2007/hit_parader/index.html|archive-date=March 4, 2016|url-status=usurped}}</ref>

=== Return, upcoming fifth album and death of Casey Chaos (2014–2024) ===

After being inactive for several years, Amen announced on February 26, 2014, that they would be playing the UK event [[Alt-Fest]] on August 16, 2014.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/what-s-on/amen-and-paradise-lost-among-latest-additions-to-alt-fest-line-up-1-5900950 |title=Amen and Paradise Lost among latest additions to Alt-Fest line-up – Northampton Chronicle and Echo. |publisher=Northamptonchron.co.uk |date=February 26, 2014 |access-date=July 26, 2014 |archive-date=March 9, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140309112550/http://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/what-s-on/amen-and-paradise-lost-among-latest-additions-to-alt-fest-line-up-1-5900950 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The festival was canceled, but the band reunited on October 25, 2014, at [[Knotfest]]. There, they were accompanied by [[Stone Sour]] drummer [[Roy Mayorga]] and debuted a new song.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/video-amen-performs-new-song-at-knotfest/ |title=Video: Amen Performs New Song At Knotfest |publisher=Blabbermouth.net |date=October 26, 2014 |access-date=November 1, 2015}}</ref> This was one of several new songs recorded by [[Ross Robinson]] with Amen and [[Slayer]] drummer [[Dave Lombardo]] for an upcoming fourth Amen album release.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://loudwire.com/former-slayer-drummer-dave-lombardo-joins-amen-new-album-tour/ |title=Ex-Slayer Drummer Dave Lombardo Joins Amen for New Album |date=June 11, 2014 |publisher=Loudwire.com |access-date=November 1, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/former-slayer-drummer-dave-lombardo-joins-amen/ |title=Former Slayer Drummer Dave Lombardo Joins Amen |publisher=Blabbermouth.net |date=June 11, 2014 |access-date=November 1, 2015}}</ref>

In an August 2014 interview with the UK's ''[[Rock-A-Rolla]]'' magazine, Lombardo stated that he didn't join Amen as a full-time member: "Actually, that is not all true, I simply helped the singer of Amen with his new album. He's a good friend."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://rock-a-rolla.com/main/?p=5821 |title=Dave Lombardo Talks Philm Ahead Of London Show This September |publisher=rock-a-rolla.com |date=August 7, 2014 |access-date=August 7, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304070124/http://rock-a-rolla.com/main/?p=5821 |archive-date=March 4, 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

As of May 2015, Amen was said to be nearing completion of their next studio album, which was due in late 2015, but the album wasn't released and faced many delays for years after. Chaos died in December 2024 of a heart attack, effectively ending the band.<ref name="obit">{{cite news |title=Amen's Casey Chaos Dead at 59 |url=https://blabbermouth.net/news/amens-casey-chaos-dead-at-59 |access-date=December 21, 2024 |publisher=Blabbermouth |date=December 21, 2024}}</ref> It was later revealed that the upcoming fifth studio album was in fact finished before Chaos' death and it is expected to be released posthumously at some point in the future.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kennelty |first=Greg |date=December 27, 2024 |title=AMEN's Final Album Is Still Being Completed In The Wake of CASEY CHAOS' Death |url=https://metalinjection.net/news/amens-final-album-is-still-being-completed-in-the-wake-of-casey-chaos-death |access-date=December 29, 2024 |website=Metal Injection |language=en-US}}</ref>
