Along the same lines as bands such as Vengeance Rising, Tourniquet, Mortification, The Devil Wears Prada, and Underoath, Consider the Tide bring a strength in their music. To the untrained ear (such as mine), one may call the music Death or Hardcore Metal, but in a more positive tone, the band themselves may call it Life Metal. Hailing from McAlester, Oklahoma, this young group want to help spread The Word through their powerful display of musicianship, camaraderie, and their shared love and respect, to and for, the Men upstairs. What a better way to celebrate life? Bringing their true, heartfelt Christian beliefs into the fray are vocalist Nick Hauff – who as an 18-year-old teen – already has longevity in the Oklahoma music scene and was the vocalist for another popular band in that area, Jason Bailey and Dylan Jacques both bring an extremely mature sound to the band’s guitar riffs, crunches, and solos, and Jackie Ford plays the drums as fast and precise as anybody. The band is currently looking for a replacement bassist, so please be on the lookout or contact the band from either site below. Small town bands can still make a big impression, and Consider the Tide is no exception. Any band starts from humble beginnings, but the strength and passion these boys have for the messages they want to portray are second to none. I have been a fan of Christian Metal since I was a teenager. To me, music is music, but the meaning behind Christian music is always quite powerful. Consider the Tide have all the capabilities to make it in today’s music industry, and they have all the right reasons to be heard. As always, please show the band some love by visiting and liking their below pages, check out the video, and help us support these young artists.
