Has Zao Traveled Beyond the Boundaries?

[Sword-In-Hand]

I don't know if anyone is very familiar with the band Zao or not. They are primarily and underground Christian screamo group mixed with some thrash metal. While I've never truly listened to their music, their latest cd is called Funeral of God. I checked their website and they said what if God was so distraught by the people of the world for their actions that He just disappeared? Is that overstretching the bounds? Because we know through the Bible God isn't going to disappear.

I would point you to the thread entitled "In Your Face Bands" - read my response there - pretty much sums up how I feel about the majority of Christian Rock Bands these days...

I love that concept, it's about time that someone got real with the reality of the world that we are becoming more corrupt day after day.

As christians we know that God won't go away because of his infinate compassion

but take a look at the world it makes me want to just be able to go away to

I believe this album is the wake up call we need to really get the ball rolling and say hey let's not just put the corruption of the world in a closet and ingore let's clean it up!

This is exploring the what if. Yes we know that he won't disapear but from what I under stand this album explores what if people don't spread the gospel to others and stay corrupt(there are corrupt people in any denom. or religion). Even in America the number of people who claim to be but arn't Christians is rising, morality is slipping away from society and if Christians don't present themselves as true Christians and don't spread the gospel then in a sense God will disappear to all but a few.

Now that is interesting. I think the band is delving into very deep things. Because if their point is that Christian's aren't witnessing like we should be then in a sense God will disappear to the lost anyway. What you were saying about people claiming to be Christians who actually aren't is insanely scary. Our pastor read some statistics and one said that if you took the Holy Spirit out of the churches today over 80% would still run the same as they are now. And there are so many people who claim to be Christians who don't believe in either the Holy Spirit, or that Jesus rose from the grave. I don't know where they are getting their info, but believing in that is the only way to be a Christian lol.

But if Zao is trying to make a point that God is dying to the lost because of lack of Christians spreading the news, then I think that rocks.

It's fastly becoming one of my favorite CDS, I love the symbolism and point they are trying to make, Zao came to a local venue here and totally brought down the house. I got up on stage and grabbed a mic during one of my most favorite songs and started screaming. That is one of my most favorite shows to date I have been to.

Zao was always controversial for one reason or another. You've got to read the lyrics and interviews to know where they're at.

Zao is not a good band at all
