Who liked the band Disciple? good Christian hard rock

[faroukfarouk]

Emphasis on what, particularly?

I was thinking more in general terms, the capacity to emphasize, rather than necessarily something specific only.

Maybe you don't like the screamo aspect so much?

Blessings.

.....it depends...what's being emphasized with the screamo? What parts of the song, and why? What's the message behind the screaming?

Hi Lord Of The Forest. Not sure if "style" is of any significance to God. Is it?

What "style" is a heart pouring itself out to God, like David did? Was he focused on "style" or the God he was pouring his heart out to?

If style isn't of significance to God, then perhaps you could please explain most of your posts in this thread?

I'm not sure David can be used as an example, as he was being the stenographer of the Holy Spirit.

'The More I Seek You' -- is it a worship song? To be honest, I just don't know. It's a pleasant enough song, but what about this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YXygCLso9U

It is a ballet dance choreographed to the same song; it is also intimate and mildly erotically-charged. The song works perfectly well as a love song between a man and a woman.

In a nutshell, it seems like you only offer two choices: either we must have music with good lyrics and bad music, or bad lyrics and masterful music. Why can't we have both?

 

[brinny]

David is an example of what it is to pour one's heart out to God. He was a man after God's own heart and God described him as the "apple of His eye".

Anyone pouring out their heart to God is also an example.

If it isn't pouring one's heart out to God, what's the point?

And the video you posted......did you find yourself worshiping God as you watched it?

 

[Lord Of The Forest]

There are more aspects to making music than expressly worshiping God. Music can also be written to encourage and inspire. To everything there is a season.

Are you indeed saying that any music, other than the praise and worship genre, is sinful?


No, I found myself admiring the choreography and the skill of the dancers.

 

[brinny]

I haven't said "sinful" once. Have i?

 

[Lord Of The Forest]

I haven't said "sinful" once. Have i?

No. Your implication, on the other hand.

 

[brinny]

No, i was merely zero-ing in on the purpose of said music mentioned in this thread and whether it glorifies God. If it isn't meant to, perhaps that should be stated that it is not meant to glorify God.

 

[Lord Of The Forest]

I see.

 

[brinny]

Aah, that is always a good thing.

Screamo is a device used by Hard Rock /Heavy Metal musicians. So why Christian hard rock / heavy metal musicians would not use sreamo alos, I wouldn't understand.

Blessings.

Screamo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Screamo essentially describes a particularly dissonant style of emo influenced by hardcore punk.[2] Screamo uses typical rock instrumentation, but is notable for its brief compositions, chaotic execution, and screaming vocals.

The genre is "generally based in the aggressive side of the overarching punk-revival scene."[2] Primary characteristics of the genre are described by Allmusic:[2].....................

Hi there; brinny is great at asking searching questions.

She has asked me searching questions many, many times; this is her style; she's not necessarily providing an answer when she asks, but she makes us all think, which is really good!

Blessings.

Hi there, LittleLambofJesus: thanks for the post and info.

I think within the whole range of screamo that exists - some of it undoubtedly over the top - there is quite a variety of emphasis, and variety proportionately in relation to other aspects of the many tracks where some degree of screamo is used.

In the case of Disciple, for example, they are known for their uncompromising Christian lyrics in some cases, and when they sometimes do employ screamo it seems kind of measured and calculated for effect, and not out of hand, so to speak; not extreme examples of it.

Thanks again.

Blessings.

Metallica is better.

 

[faroukfarouk]

Metallica is better.

So how do you think the lyrics compare, between Disciple and Metallica?

 

[XB3LI3V3RX]

So who likes Disciple? they are good Christian hard rock, in my humble view. There is plenty of their music on Youtube.

I like some of their music. My fiancé loves them and another band called Red. They're more of the alternative Christian rock group; I like both of those bands (especially Disciple's song called Scars Remain), but I tend to like heavier stuff better (not saying it IS better, but I prefer it). For example, look up How Great Thou Art by Becoming the Archetype, Dead Man by Wolves at the Gate, or Ezekiel (The Visionary) by For Today.
I find it funny when people say this worship music is "Satanic" even though all these people want to do is worship Jesus and allow others to do that as well with awesome music. I don't think God has a genre of music just as long as it's glorifying Him.

I know Red! I'll have to look some of the others up!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks brother....i am sorta' thinkin' out loud when i asks da questions....

clarity and examination is sumthin' i seeks wif ev'rything....i duz this when i'm watchin' movies...like fer instance "Machine Gun Preacher" a slammin' testimony of a horrendously dangerous and deadly man before his conversion, but who God used and uses mightily to venture where no other mortal would dare to tread....

 

[faroukfarouk]

For example, look up How Great Thou Art by Becoming the Archetype..

So which album did Becoming the Archetype's How Great Thou Art appear in? I listened to it. Kind of Death Metal, right?

I believe it was on the album Dichotomy. But, yea, Becoming the Archetype is a more "Christian death metal" style. (I always find it funny when I explain that to people. Lol)
