Christian Metal- August Burns Red, Becoming the Archetype, Demon Hunter, Destroy the Runner, Extol, Haste the Day, Inhale Exhale, Living Sacrifice, Norma Jean, Oh Sleeper, The Devil Wears Prada, Underoath ( list anymore if u can think of them) What do think about those christian metal bands and others? What type of metal would you put most christian metal groups into, do you like there music, their lyrics, etc.?
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 badass stuff in your songs, the more badass 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
*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 dumbass. 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...
Skillet and Flyleaf are christian metal they are both good but Flyleaf I guess they call themselves Methodist (I don't know I think) so what would they be categorixed as but Skillet is one I know
Well i always have thought it makes perfect sense...i mean with bands lke Paramaecium, Antestor, Immortal Souls, Mortification and Crimson Moonlight, Vengeance Rising just to name a few...at least the extreme metal makes sense to me and let me tell you why... ever read the old testament? Or the new testament of what is to come...Satan would have you believe he is one bad hombre but in reality is he? I mean the armies of God would be quit Fierce i would imagine and you are talking about the wrath of God coming down on mortal mankind and the Warrior angels of god destroying all that is not found to be holy..I mean do not make the mistake of thinking that God is just soem cuddly toothless Bear..that cant do much and is boring...lol I mean God is the one you should probably really be afraid of...the Devil is alhough he doesnt want you to know that. So yeah viscious battle hymns to accompany the wrath of God makes sense to me...lol
It isn't really christian i listen to it all the time it's just more not secular...u know no cussing or sacrificing ur friends to the devil:P not that i have a problem with secular metal but ya.
I think it's funny. It's almost as funny as christian rock.
WOW i know a lot of ppl who like christian rock bands and don't ever know they're christian it's a big part of both genres
