I've also wondered if they ever get a sore throat from singing like that.
Well, it's what you do with that kind of music and lyrics; the throaty screamo that has to be done in the base of the throat is simply all part of the type of music, isn't it.

I think hard rock does something for some people, right? and when it the message is hard-hitting Bible verses, the communication is very powerful.

(Mind you, Scripture comforts and soothes also.)

Yeah, I also like the song Personal Jesus as I can imagine the Lord singing through to the other person.

True and they've probably had plenty of training.

There are some good Christian metal bands in Europe. I like Extol, and once went to one of their concerts. A German metal worship band called Obadja is also good, but they sing mostly in German. I do prefer punk/punk rock to metal though

Do you like the throaty screamo, when musicians do it?

I am an old guy and not really up to date with new bands. This was much better when my kids were teenagers, and went to all sorts of crazy concerts. But I still enjoy a good punk concert - and if I am in the right mood: some more heavy stuff.

If you want recommendations for Norwegian bands, try some of these: Silver (punk rock), Kaizers Orchestra (pop/rock), Extol (metal, already mentioned), Ida Maria (punk). Serena Maneesh (punk rock). Some of them are Christians, others are not. You will probably find out which is which :)

Not really, no sorry :)
I understand it can be cool though, but not really my style (most of the time)

For some ppl hard rock is 'over the top'. For others, screamo is 'over the top'. For others piercings are 'over the top'. For others, ink, etc.

They are all styles of expression, I guess, really.

Absolutely. It's ok to enjoy different things. But may not be for everyone. It also depends how you were brought up.

But didn't realise that there was such a thing as Christian hard rock.

There are Christian artists playing pretty much every genre of music. In some cases there aren't too many of them, and whether they're as good as their secular counterparts can be a subjective matter, but they do exist.
