  • 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.

Idicious, do you ever listen to bands that take no ideological stand? I could recommend some great BM if you are interested.

I recently purchased all Emperor cd's ;) Also listen to Ulver, Immortal, Dissection, Peccatum, and some others (like more technical black metal, not super minimalistic, well, if done right can enjoy that as well but more the technical side) Sudgestions would be welcome ofc :)

Ok, since you dig Ulver (I suppose bergtatt and the rawer nattens madrigal), I'd like to recommend Taake - Nattestid.

http://www.demakkers.nl/bme/taake-nspv2.mp3
http://www.demakkers.nl/bme/taake-nspv6.mp3
Mystic Forest - Romances, Green Hell and Welcome Back In The Forest (Loads of neoclassical influences on all records)
http://60gp.ovh.net/~eikenska/mysticforest/index.php?page=samples
Forest Of Fog, everything he has released
http://homepage.hispeed.ch/metalhost/forestoffog/pages/music.html

All links are taken off the official bandsites, so it's completely legal. For as far as I know, these bands are ideologically neutral. Please tell me what you think :)

I don't know of any Christian band that sounds like old Metallica. Mortification is pretty awesome. They've done quite a range of metal over the years, they're getting back into the death metal now. Here is where you can download some of their songs, 100% legally. I recommend Terminate Damnation, it's one of their best.

Just ordered Green Hell and Romances from Mystic Forest :)
:bow:NEAT:clap:

Another good band would be Nargaroth, his MCD Rasluka II and full albums called Black Metal Ist Krieg and Geliebte Des Regens are worth checking out.

I actually laughed my ass off reading the song titles like "there is 666 trees in my forest", "she waits for me behind a tree" and "I'll go for another walk on my grave". They are so purposely cliché :p

Not as bad as The day burzum killed mayhem and the lyrics to the song Black metal ist krieg ;)
Note that it's a concept album, and the lyrics are based on the bands they are referring to. The other albums are more serious. (I suppose you do know of Burzum and Mayhem). The song of BMIK called Seven Tears Are Flowing To The River is more Kanwulf's (man behind Nargaroth) style:

Seven Tears are flowing to the river
And six of 'em are mine:
Und ich kostete den fremden Saft,
Der sich mit meinigem vermengte,
Um zu deuten in ihm jene Kraft,
Die an so viele ich verschenkte.
Und freud war er in meinen Mund
Und ich stìrzt' in tiefe See'
Und es schmerzt die alte Wunde,
Die geifernd lacht in all dem Weh'.
Doch als die flut sein Leichnam barg,
Nachdem er Tr¤n' verlor, sechs an der Zahl.
Das wasser ward zu seinem Sarg,
Eine Sieb'te sich ergoŸ,... aus Qual.
Und als der fluŸ die Tr¤n' geleitet,
Hin zu ew'gen Meer,
Ward ihm endlich Lieb' bereitet.
Doch das er weiŸ wohl nimmer mehr.
Und kænnt die Zeit verkehrt nun flieŸen
Und sei nur Traum der ganze Schmerz,
Wird er um sie die Arme schlieŸen
Und Liebe sei um beider herz..
