Christian Metal

supmyman7 · Aug 12, 2006

I looked around, and was suprised. I don't see any christian metal threads around here. So i decided to start one.

anyone like christian metal? if so, what bands?

if not, why are you against it?

xpunkskaterx · Aug 12, 2006

i like metal. if i hear a metal band i like, it really doesnt matter if they are christian or not. anyways....

the new norma jean cd is really good.

I don't like Christian Metal.. I'm not against it, I just don't like metal at all.

You're missing out.

Mortal Treason, Becoming The Archetype, Luti-Kriss, Norma Jean, The Chariot and Extol.

underoath, Zao, Dead Poetic, Emery, Demon Hunter, i like them all..

Christian metal (with the exception of a couple bands)= horrible

DivineFire and Saviour Machine are good.

Otherwise, secular all the way.

I just got into My Dying Bride btw, best Doom band I've heard.

Crimson Moonlight
Antestor
Extol
http://myspace.com/victoriasdarksecret < My band. (Christian Metal)
(Old) Norma Jean
Drottnar
AUGUST BURNS RED < Love those guys (Put on an amazing concert)
So many more, but those are some of my favorites.

That seems to be spoken out of ignorance...considering how amazing many christian metal bands are nowadays.

In the past I would have agreed with you though.

This post provokes this burning question I've had for quite some time now. Since when does your religion affect your musical talent? I don't get it... :scratch:

However, I don't listen to -much- metal, but some bands I do listen to are:
UnderØATH (my fave!)
Norma Jean (new and old)
Haste the Day
The Chariot
August Burns Red (haven't heard much, but I like what I have heard!)
and some Becoming the Archetype

ahh, there's nothing like the sound of screaming guitars late at night.

Well here's the thing, religion shouldn't affect musical talent, but in most cases it does.

It's actually not spoken out of ignorance.

Either they're terrible, or they're blatant ripoffs of secular bands.

Very few that are actually original and good.

hey, come on, Becoming the Archetype is good.

Theogonia · Aug 21, 2006

They're okay.

The Theory · Aug 21, 2006

ANTESTOR and EXTOL are really the only ones I follow anymore.
Though Aleathean are pretty hella tight, too.

though, I have to admit that August Burns Red are a guilty pleasure, since they're local boys.

So... by your theory, if I took guitar lessons my skills wouldn't be as good as a person who's not a christian? Somehow that guitar knows if I'm a christian or not? Your theory still fails...

I wouldn't think so

holyrokker · Aug 22, 2006

I prefer the older metal style (look at my age)

Tourniquet
Barren Cross
Deliverance
Oil
Living Sacrifice
Six Feet Deep
Atomic Opera
Resurrection Band (I know - not really metal - but they're pioneers)
Disciple (Their stuff before 2004)
etc.

Sketcher · Aug 22, 2006

Mortification
Soul Embraced
Living Sacrifice
Parameacium
old Extol
old Embodyment (before their descent into emo)

Cybergrind looks to be promising, but I haven't heard any of their stuff.
