THE POWER & THE GLORY walk the fine line between the worlds of crust punk, contemporary metal, epic rock and progressive hardcore. They create a post-everything musical bombardment that prizes intelligence, intensity, and passion. "Call Me Armageddon," the group's debut full length, was released in 2004 on Deathwish Inc.

They have toured the United States many times and have made appearances in Mexico and all over Europe. 2007 finds the group diligently working on new songs that expand and challenge their established sound. Several new releases are in the works as well as future tour plans. The Atlanta, GA based group emerged in 2003 from the reinvention of long-running metallic hardcore stalwarts Downpour.
