They are American rock band.
They play Alternative Rock, Altanative Metal, Post-grunge music.
Calm but strong emotional voice(basically no screaming) riding on the dark and heavy backing sounds.

It's a Melodic and melancholic music.
Dear agony is their 4th studio album.
I especially like this album among their other albums.
All songs has strong melody and tough riffs.
I have often heard this album these past months.

The tracks I recommend are
"I will not Bow"
"Crawl"
"Give me a sign"
"What Lies Beneath"
"Dear Agony"
"Without you"

All songs are not fast. So you can listen deliberately.
If you like melodick heavy rock, please check this album.

Rocky's speech to his son.

When I'm disheartend,  sometimes I watching this movie.
It's a good speech for all discouraged person.
Never give up, Never give in.

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!
