Just thinking of a couple things I've been reading lately - 'The Last Battle' by C.S. Lewis, & my psychology textbook, & some news stories; this song rings truer than before...
Haste the Day is from Indianapolis, IN. They formed in 2001, starting out as a 3-piece (bassist Mike Murphy, drummer Devin Chaulk, & guitarist Brennan Chaulk) but added 2 more (guitarist Jason Barnes & lead vocalist Jimmy Ryan) in the year to follow. The name 'Haste the Day' comes from the 1870's hymn "It Is Well With My Soul" written by Horatio Spafford, in which a verse contains "Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight"*. In the summer of 2002, they independently released their debut EP "That They May Know You"; & not too long after, they were signed to one of Tooth & Nail's subsidiaries, Solid State Records. They've since released 5 LP's, underwent some major lineup changes, (somewhere in between the 5 releases mentioned), released a 3 album anthology, & broke up. In November of 2010, they announced that they were breaking up; their farewell tour followed in Feb. & March 2011, but they released one last album: a live album recorded in Indiana on June 29th, 2010 featuring the original & final line-up of the band. This song is from "Attack of the Wolf King" [Solid State], released on June 29th, 2010.

* - I know this is kinda irrelevant to "Dog Like Vultures", but this is one of my favourite versions of "It Is Well" - performed by The Frozen Ocean
