The Ongoing Concept has released a music video for ‘Saloon’. The track is taken from their debut album “Saloon” which was released on August 20th. of last year via Solid State Records. The video can be seen below.
The Ongoing Concept will play at the 35th. edition of Christmas Rock Night this December..Other confirmed bands are RED (U.S), Disciple (U.S.), Wolves At The Gate (U.S.), Children 18:3 (U.S.), Sacrety (D) Safemode (S] Sleeping Romance (IT), Trip To Dover (NL), Sleeping Giant (U.S), Manafest (CA) LZ7 (U.K), HB (FI], Staryend (D). Christmas Rock Night 2014 will be held December 12 & 13. as usual in Ennepetal, Germany.
The Ongoing Concept is a Christian metal band from Rathdrum, Idaho; made up of three brothers and their childhood friend; that started in 2010.
Decorated with piano and organ, the track’s driving rock guitars give way to heavy angular riffs, providing further proof of the band’s diverse sonic portfolio, previously demonstrated with the banjo-twang of the track ‘Cover Girl’ and the explosive ferocity of ‘Class of Twenty-Ten.’
“As for the lyrics, a lot of people write songs about people they hate, but I didn’t want my lyrics to be condemning,” Kyle adds. “After I had written the lyrics and dwelled on them awhile, I realized just how much pride and judgement I had, and I feel I’m much more transparent because of it.”
They released an independent EP in 2010 entitled “What Is My Destiny”, an independent EP in 2011 entitled “Arrows Before Bullets” and a studio album entitled “Saloon” (2013) through their label Solid State Records.
