Everything Is Alive, Everything Is Breathing, Nothing Is Dead, and Nothing Is Bleeding is the debut studio album by American hardcore punk band The Chariot. It was recorded completely live and overdub-free (as well as never being mastered), giving the album a very raw sound. [5]
The Chariot was formed by vocalist Josh Scogin in 2003. Scogin was formerly the vocalist for Norma Jean, recording one album with them. During the band's performance at the 2002 Furnace Fest, Scogin announced that he would be departing Norma Jean. [6] [7] Scogin stated his departure was not due to any internal conflicts, but a personal choice. [8] Shortly after his departure from Norma Jean, Scogin formed the Chariot with other musicians in the Douglasville, Georgia area; the band's name was inspired by the Biblical story of Elijah and the chariot of fire. [7]
The band were signed to Solid State Records, a metal subdivision of Tooth & Nail Records, in 2004. The band's first song, "It Is Usually the Boys Who Cry Wolf That Grow up to Be the Men Who Cry Sanctuary", was released on the compilation This Is Solid State, Volume 5; this song was later re-recorded as "Yellow Dress: Locked Knees" for Everything Is Alive. [9] Later that year, the band recorded its debut album with producer Matt Goldman. [6]
The album name, Everything Is Alive, Everything Is Breathing, Nothing Is Dead, and Nothing Is Bleeding, is a parody of albums that feature morbid names. [10]

The Chariot was an American hardcore punk band from Douglasville, Georgia, that existed from 2003 to 2013. The last lineup consisted of drummer David Kennedy, vocalist and bandleader Josh Scogin, and guitarists Brandon Henderson and Stephen Harrison. The band experienced frequent lineup changes since its inception, with Scogin being the only original member. The band played an abrasive style of metalcore that did not adhere to typical stylings popular among their contemporaries such as melodic/abrasive dynamics and harmonic vocals. They built a reputation around their powerful live performances, with Scogin's lyrics covering topics like materialism, personal struggle, current events, politics, and Christian themes.
