For Today was an American Christian metalcore band from Sioux City, Iowa, formed in 2005. The band was known for their energetic live shows, powerful messages, and a staunch commitment to their faith and beliefs which is heavily incorporated into their music and lyrics. The band's lineup went through changes over the years but was fronted consistently by lead vocalist Mattie Montgomery. For Today made significant waves in the metalcore scene with their blend of heavy riffs, breakdowns, and unapologetic lyrics that often dealt with spirituality and personal struggle.

Their discography reflects a potent journey through the genre with high-profile releases that include "Ekklesia" (2008), their debut album that set the tone for their future work, followed by "Portraits" (2009) where each song profiled a figure of Christian history, and "Breaker" (2010) which further cemented their reputation. "Immortal" (2012) continued to showcase the band's relentless energy and established more complex compositions. "Prevailer" (2013), an EP, provided a short yet potent mix of their core sound. "Fight The Silence" (2014) aimed to raise awareness about human trafficking and other issues facing the vulnerable. Their final album, "Wake" (2015), was a call to arms for listeners, and a strong finish to their career, which ended with a farewell tour in 2016. For Today left behind a legacy as one of the most influential bands in Christian metal, inspiring a generation of listeners with their message and music.
