Hey, so for those who don't know, I have a blog called Unblack Archives. It's meant to catalog/archive unblack metal bands that don't meet more popular metal sites' criteria.
Anyway, I was doing research and found an old -core EP that I wanted to document, but doesn't fit on my other blog, so I just decided to document it here instead.
[Here's the page where I got the info]
"Gentlemen, Speak Up! - Running From Their Lives EP"
Released as a free digital download from Erlösung Distribution (aka "Erlosung Distribution")
Somewhere around the year 2011?
"Finally! Our new e.p. 'Running From Our Lives' is finished and now available to download for free! It's been a long road, and sadly it's coming to an end. After this month, we will no longer be together as a band." -Luke, Guitarist of Gentelmen Speak Up
The tracklist, in the correct order, is:
1 Take It... Or Don't
2 Second Star to the Left
3 Don't Leave Your Bags Unattended
4 Moss Always Grows There
5 Adjust Question
Unfortunately, it seems the download link didn't make its way onto archive.org? So I don't have audio yet.

"The Spider"
The following was not written by me, but taken from [thedefeatofsatan.blogspot.com]. I just wanted to share it here. [Most of the text below was translated in Google Translate.] The original Portuguese version, "A aranha", can be viewed [here].
Once a man was being pursued by several evildoers who wanted to kill him.
The man, running, turned on a shortcut that led off the road and entered through the bush, and in despair raised a prayer to God in the following manner: "Almighty God, make two angels come from the sky and block the entrance of the track so the bad guys don't kill me!!!"
At that moment he heard the men approaching the trail where he was hiding and saw that, at the entrance to the trail, a tiny spider appeared.
Then the spider began to weave a web at the entrance to the trail.
The man began to make another prayer more and more distressed: "Lord, I asked you for angels, not a spider. Lord, please, with Your powerful hand put a strong wall at the entrance of this path, so that the men cannot come in and kill me..."
Then he opened his eyes, expecting to see a wall covering the entrance, and saw only the spider weaving the web. The evildoers were entering the path where he was, and he was waiting only for death.
As they passed the trail, the man heard, "Come on, let's get on this trail."
"No, don't you see it has cobwebs? Nothing came in here. Let's continue searching for the next tracks."
Faith is to believe in what you do not see, to persevere in the face of the impossible. Sometimes we ask for walls to be safe, but God asks us to have confidence in Him to let His glory manifest and to do something like a web, which gives us the same protection as a wall.
Never get discouraged in the midst of the struggles; move on, for God said, "Tell the weak that I am strong."
It is in the most difficult moments that we find in God our strength.
