I think christian music and metal are two way diffrent things and that they shouldn't be put together, but that's just me.

Listen, praising God's name is the same no matter which way you do it. It's the same exact words, meaning, just different to the ear.

Does it say anywhere in the Bible that God would not like us to scream and play loud music when we worship him? Didn't think so.

Metal has become a sterotype. That's hard to change once it's set in someone's mind, but for the openminded, realize its only what our ears sense that is different.

Metal is a way to agressing music,it's only technical noise

The odd part is somehow it seems like Christian metal is different than regular metal, and the same for Christian rock. I hate Christian rock and metal.

I think it's good that there is Christian Metal out there. If you are a Christian, and care about what you listen to, and you like metal, then this is for you.

If you don't like it, don't listen to it. It is it's own genre in itself. Many people like metal music, but would not want to hear the lyrics in it. This gives you an alternative.

Demon Hunter is one of my favorite bands. I have all of their albums and they are bad ass.

Demon Hunter are only subliminally Christian though. They never portray their faith directly in their lyrics, but rather mask it with deeper meanings.

It's just different from the norm which is EXACTLY why people don't like it. If screaming music was all that was on the radio, everyone would think singing is crap. Zach is right, it has become a stereotype. Everyone thinks that metal is about satan and death. On the contrary, alot of metal is not anything like that. Most metal songs sing about the same topics as other rock songs, just with fast double bass, distorted guitars playing crazy solos, and screaming. That's all it is. Now Christian metal, is the same as metal, just with Christian themes and lyrics.

Now THAT is what I hate about some athiests. It's your choice to reject God, but in no way should you hate upon Christianity. No one listens to music just for the lyrics, so why you hating on Christian metal in particular?
