Artist description It would be a difficult task to classify embraced into one musical genre. Embraced is a 4-piece band that is continuously trying to push the musical limits both individually, and as a whole. There are many different genres embraced could be thrown into, though none would be completely accurate.Embraced plays rock, sometimes heavy, sometimes soft, sometimes, atmospheric and spacey. There is no central focus of embraced other than creating music together. All four members of embraced are Christians, but as a whole there is no one political or religious standpoint. Every member may feel different aboutdifferent subjects. Embraced began in the summer of 2000 in the punk/hardcorescene of panama city, Florida. The current members of the band have played together in one form or another for roughly 5-6 years. Embraced formed due to the desire to make better, more mature music, and that has been the goal of embraced ever since. The main focus of embraced’s music is to constantly push the boundaries of the band’s capabilities and skills as individually and as awhole. To get a better idea of what embraced sounds like…take some melody, hardcore, metal, rock and roll, spacey sounding effects…mix itwith some pretty singing and intense screaming…and there you go. embraced has released one record, "an orchestrated failure". this release was the bands first release on a label (theory 8 records). "An orchestrated failure" is a 7-song EP that reflects the bands heavier "melodic hardcore" sound, and introduces an atmospheric feel as well. embraced is currently working on new material for a release that will be in the works sometime towards the end of 2003. the new material will focus more on the rock and roll, and space-rock aspects of embraced...with just a hint of the previous "hardcore" feel. look for new and exciting things from embraced all through out the new year.
