  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Who else here is familiar with this pioneer in the christian extreme metal scene? In the early 90's when they started they got serious deaththreats from the secular bands in the scene, they released their first demo in 1991, and now, in 2004 (well, officially 2005) they still release a new cd (with a few in between) I've seen them live now and have a great deal of respect for the band, they have no shame for their faith, and during concert people were kneeling down on the ground or had their hands lifted in the air praising god, very weird to see at concert like that, but very cool none the less.
Their music changed from first doom/death metal with a hint of black, to Satyricon like black metal, to now a very own style within 'bm', remenicent of 'Anthems to the welkin at dusk' Emperor era riffing, with the Sorrowfull sound that Antestor is known for. Their latest album I have a pre-release of, and it's truly a masterpiece, any fan of 'black metal' (un-black, holy un-black, sorrow metal, whatever you prever to call it, black just types faster :p ) needs to have this album in their collection ;)
