I hate it. Metal is about the Appocalypse and Satan, bands like slayer and LOG. Christian metal is not metal, but rock. Not every metal band is athiest, but it is just the idea that the more ****** stuff in your songs, the more ****** you are. (BTW, The lead singer from Slayer is a catholic. Look it up.)

Well I pay attention more to a songs rhythm than its meaning,but I never even knew christian rock existed.Also pyro what you are doing could be considered flaming.Thats ironic because of your name and armatar,but still try not to flame on a thread.

He is exactly what gives metal a bad name.  Metal is far, far, far from the appocalypse and satan.  Try Progressive Metal and Power Metal as entire metal genres w/o that bull crap.  Then most death metal, as thats all about killing/blood/gore not satan...maybe a little black metal and thrash but even then, not that much.

Anyway you forgot As I Lay Dying and Gwen Stacy.  And i don't see a difference in it. usually i don't find out about it until after a LOT of listens when i start actually understanding the words or when i see it on a info page about the members, or when a friend tells me.  So i could really care less, it usually doesn't change the music, and since Growling vocals are only meant to be a rythmic instrument the lyrics don't change the song all that much :)

To be honest,... Christian Metal shouldn't even exist. To be a Metal band means you have to follow a type of lifestyle...

Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that you can't be a Christian in a Metal band... but the two worlds don't collide well.

*big buzzer noise used in family feud to signal inccorect answer*  really limebackwards, really?  That was ignorant...where the hell would we be if every band had to follow a set of rules in order to play a type of music.......we'd still be playing classical music *******.  You have to break the mold and not do what everyone else does in order to be good when it comes to music.  Not doing what everyone else does is how music works.  Thats why the hippie movement started, the disco, the funk, the grunge, the hair metal, death metal, alternative, goth, emo, straight-edge, etc. etc. etc.  They all started in counter-culture to what was popular, if there was a set lifestyle to metal than you'd be listenin to hair metal and metallica and thats it...

I think it's funny.  It's almost as funny as christian rock.
