Hope Kills Fear

Hope Kills Fear has joined together with the singular goal in mind of crafting emotional, thought-provoking songs to spread a message of hope, faith, strength and perseverance. The band was founded by vocalist Carley Coma, former lead vocalist of the critically acclaimed metal/rock/fusion band Candiria, voted one of Rolling Stone magazine's best metal bands. Carley has put in the roadwork by sharing the stage with acts like KillSwitch Engage, Clutch, Pantera and Motörhead to name a few. Carley is joined by; Julio Arias (guitars, vocals), Joe Fazio (bass) and Steve Richards (guitars, vocals).
The band was formed in New York City, in September 2007. The members strongly identify themselves as Christians and feel strongly about pursuing and promoting the band's career in a manner that is consistent with their beliefs. They are known for their energetic live performances and are currently focusing on playing venues all across the U.S
The bands name originated from a fan of Carley's who was battling Cancer. The fan expressed to him how Carley's lyrics gave him the strength to go on and to never give up hope. Carley read the quote on the young man's myspace page and saw the words "Hope Kills Fear".
Hope Kills Fear has been known for spending long hours in the recording studio going over every aspect of a song until the message and the music are one in the same. "We're focusing on writing songs that deliver a strong and powerful message, songs that inspire and resonate with the listener"
~ Carley Coma (Metal Edge Magazine).
