The following was originally written with /r/christianmetal audience in mind. I have not done much Christianmetal myself, but I found myself with that audience. I have used a variety of metal artists working for God to display or teach something or say something God needed me to say. There are Themes that run through various songs and artists. What themes and why? Are they something God is communicating? (Again, this may not have been created exactly for an Christianforums audience.) Also given you saw "Batmetal Forever" around April, that was created by people who had learned things I had been doing over the internet as a teacher, or they were of some Spirit. What spirit were they of? I don't know that I see Batmetal Forever as Godly and good, but it did play on certain themes.
Spiritual Themes in Metal Music
The Themes are important. Themes and allegories could be used a number of ways. One of Metallica's first big songs was "The Four Horsemen." The Four Horsemen are something that God does. They are in the Old Testament. They are in the New Testament. (Ezekiel 5:17)(Jeremiah 24:10)(Revelation 6:8) It is something that God does. Hernan Cortez could be said to be God's First Horsemen in his Judgement of a Wicked people who performed human sacrifice and other abominations similar to but different than the people in Canaan.
Metallica plays on a lot of spiritual themes throughout all their albums. A more recent song would be "Halo on Fire." "Halo on Fire" takes a bit of commentary to better understand. The video begins with a woman. Why? Some famous Protestant Evangelists have stated they were Brides For Christ. Christ is to man as man is to woman. (1 Corinthians 11:3) Has nothing to do with sex. The Spirit of God is manly and virile. It is also said the Church is a Bride for Christ. The theme of The Light and the Dark comes up in the song. (Ephesians 5:8)(1 Thessalonians 5:5) Jesus Christ is The Light of the World. What is the song saying about him? What else is the song saying on a spiritual level? The Holy Ghost is a teacher and a Councilor.
On a differnet rock level, I like the Kings of Leon "Pyro" for something of God. Why? The stone rejected by the builders becomes the chief cornerstone. (Psalms 118:22)(Luke 20:9-19)(Acts 4:11)(1 Peter 2) It is a brilliant video about a Prodigal Son. Similar to "Dying Time" Black Label Society? Similar to "Ballad of a Prodigal Son" Lincoln Durham? (Ezekiel 37)That would be sign of the times?
and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. (Matthew 16:3)
Someone that sees the spiritual may be said is crazy. He isn't. There is reason and logic to it. He may have been said to have had divine madness. How many metal songs do you know are about madness? What spirit was the singer or writer of?
