Some guys from Kentucky have a metalcore band

Hard to choose just one, but I think the guy in the relaxed-fit jeans w/ the knuckles belt buckle looks the most like someone in a 'real hardcore band'

True fact, I have been to Kentucky before! I went to the Kentucky Derby a few years ago in Louisville, which is also the home of Our Final Hour. They are apparently one of the top metalcore bands, with promo photos, merch, and even a few songs recorded. Here is what it says on their Official MySpace:
Brought to life in September 2008, Our Final Hour is poised to take the hardcore scene by storm with its unique blend of melodic metalcore. With a live stage show that has captivated audiences throughout the area, Our Final Hour is setting a standard for energy and intensity in the over-saturated hardcore scene. From explosive breakdowns, to machine-gun style drumming, to melodic guitar leads, to brutal guitar and bass rhythms, Our Final Hour's blend of music can grab the attention of any avid metalcore listener.
Wow! It sounds so professional, I am really impressed at how much they have accomplished in just a few short years. If I was in a band this would probably inspire me take my musical career to the next level! Here is what you can expect to see if you become a fan of Our Final Hour:


Cool video of them playing their song in this field. It even has guest vocals from Kevin Peters of Anemic (not sure who that is but he's probably important in their regional metalcore scene). They even do a lot of the same moves as famous bands, like where they run in place during the keyboard parts-- I am so impressed with their professional approach!

This shirt is really phat! It looks like something you would buy at the mall, like at Buckle or that one store across from Auntie Anne's with all the Tapout stuff in the window!

The best part about being in a band: groupies like this chick will make you fan signs!!

IDK if they are actually Christian or not but they have shared the stage with bands like Strength Within (Ohio Ministries Metalcore) and Nick Nailer!

This is another flyer for one of their concerts... it's kind of weird if you ask me but whatever! I am sure this kind of artwork appeals to their 'target customer.'

Not sure what this is all about-- if it is supposed to be a clock that shows that it's almost midnight, the hour hand is not in the right place. Maybe it is a broken clock???? I am so bad with symbolism!

You can check out Our Final Hour on their Official MySpace or on their Official Twitter (they only have 24 followers so help spread the word). It is really cool to see how fast the Kentucky metalcore scene is growing and I am really looking forward to their EP!! Thanks to @bosch91 for the tip!
