Christian Metal

What is "metal"? - What one person calls metal, another will call screamo, etc.

gah seriously ...
Skillet is not metal,
it's not because we're talking about distorted guitars we're talking about metal.

second, breakdowns are core, not metal (unless when talking about 'metal'core)

third, genres do not get redefined every 5 years, seventh angel, tourniquet, deliverance, vengeance rising, they all were thrash in the beginning of the 90s and their albums are STILL thrash metal.

Mortification (scrolls era), Obliteration, Discencumberance, Incubus, all were death metal in the beginning of the 90s and are far from something else.

Once again, thank you for proving my point.

"Heavy Metal" was a term first used 40 years ago descibing the music of Led Zeppelin.

So, accordingly, Skillet would fit in that same category.

Huh? What are you talking about holyrokker? I can't hear you. Headphones have blinded me.

You're just too old.

Demon Hunter ...

You're just too old.

The fact is that you guys are both to young (and sorry for my impoliteness) and you dont seem to understand something: Heavy Metal ... is an old style appeared in something like 70's Iron Maiden, Led Z, so on ... ok.
In that period of time came the Metalheads they were devoted fans of this genre and in their circle of friends instead of saying Heavy Metal they would simply call it Metal. So ... my point is: There is no genre called Metal (only if you refer to heavy metal). I know that in our times we like to say about every band that creates music by distortioning guitars and a strong voice that they are singing Metal .... but its not true.

Looks like you said the same thing I had said earlier.

I was joking with TheThrill when I said that he was too old.

I'll be 48 at the end of the summer. I remember the latter part of the 1960's and some of the 1970's.

[TheThrill]

Hey, I am too old!!! I'm reminded of that everytime I step out onto the softball field. Whew!

But then I pop in some Tourniquet and I'm reminded of how young I am, too (sorry holyrokker, no Resurrection Band for me yet -- I'm not that old!) LOL

Lately I've been listening to Demon Hunter. Not 100% which genre they fall into....but I don't care. I like them and I like the CD of theirs I got last weekend (Storm The Gates of Hell - comes with a DVD and stuff too)

Nu Metal. And no, I'm not a hater.

 

[tigercub]

Hmm. I guess nu metal works. That makes two nu metal bands I listen to (Jael is the other one)
