DESCRIPTION:
| The Anchor | is a five-piece, female-fronted, metalcore band from Denver, Colorado. | The Anchor | and Linzey Rae have made a name for themselves since the viral explosion of their YouTube series, Metal Kitchen. | The Anchor | prides themselves on making metalcore accessible and fun for people who don’t generally listen to the genre. Ultimately, | The Anchor | creates music to help others find a voice of understanding and simply be themselves.

We write music with the objective of providing an uplifting message, while promoting the value of self worth. Knowing firsthand the refuge that music can offer away from life’s struggles, we hope to be a voice of understanding and provide a place that someone can call their home. This is so much more than a band, it is a family.

A WORLD AHEAD
Confined with no space to speak.
Build up the skin to hide what composes me.
I see the path but my soles are worn and filled with mud.

The needle threads, An image of beasts
marching in heroic certainty.

I am the tiger.
A gem among a world of stone.
I won’t be mastered by what holds me down.

My quiet hands shuffling undetected,
searching for relief.
Where is my affirmation to make more of this.
To live a life worthwhile.

I am the tiger.
A gem among a world of stone.
I won’t be mastered by what holds me down.

I am the tiger (among a world of stone)
I am the tiger (among a world of stone)
I am the tiger (among a world)

My hands pushed under the weight of
my mistakes and doubts.
Dreams and hopes pushed aside.
I can’t live a life for someone else.
​
My life comes first.
My life comes first.

I am a gem among a world of stone.
I am the beast on the tapestry.
I am the courage that the needle sews
My life comes first.
My life comes first.

Put fear aside (Don’t look back)
The relief from pressure set me free.
Hold my head high. I won’t let this shift sway me.
Hold strong.

I can create the life I underestimated for so long.
For me to write the lines. I now see the world that lies ahead.
The world that lies ahead for me.

I am the gem. I am the tiger. I am the courage.
My life comes first.
I am the gem. I am the tiger. I am the courage.
My life comes first.
