TMM, PLEASE, educate yourself about this music and maybe, just maybe, we will actually listen to what you have to say. Right now all I see is ranting gibberish from someone who knows nothing about me worshiping Jesus.
LOL! If you can't understand why I say thrash death metal is bad for the soul then there is no hope in helping you to realise. If you believe that screaming along with that cranked up guitars and drums noise is pleasant and is for worship then all the best with your worship time. I find it terribly nasty music with harsh negative undertones no matter what the lyrics say, it's relentless aggressive screaming and you won't be hearing that rubbish in the new earth. You thrash metal lovers simply don't like my opinion, I understand why you are so defensive of this terrible taste in music, it is because you harbor anger, resentment, bitterness and thoughts of malice. This is why you sympathise with this angry nasty sound, for out of the mouth comes the overflow of the heart.. you say only people who have experienced pain can connect with this music? Then you are still in pain, haven't forgiven, haven't repented and are not healed and made whole. You won't find the Messiah's peace in thrash metal..
"I just realized TMM is attacking Christian metal in this thread, but praising Christian rap in the other thread. He's lost all credibility in music for me."
I don't need your credibility to express my opinion. That's all I am doing, it's my opinion. Is my opinion credible? I wonder what general readers would be thinking, instead of a Christian thrash metal fan. I would advocate well rapped to artistic songs as worship material any day over the filth that is thrash metal! I do like some metal, when it is original and well crafted, even a momentary scream to express a necessary message and emotion. But honestly, Christian thrash metal? Endless screaming, droning, grinding aggression, in the name of what god? the god of this world that's who, satan!
This sort of music is what you would hear in hell whilst being tortured with fire and brimstone, yup! ;-o !
There is no such thing as "righteous anger".
Would Jesus mosh, is the question really.
As for anger: Jesus' anger was pure and righteous, with no taint of sin.
Let all bitterness and wrath (θυμός) and anger (ὀργή) and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. (Eph 4:31) But now, you must put them all away: anger (ὀργή), wrath (θυμός), malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. (Col 3:8)18
Jesus had righteous anger. We as humans need to stay away from anger for it is sinful. There is no such thing as "righteous anger".
Anger is not sinful. Jesus never sinned. Jesus got angry. Our responses and reactions to anger can most certainly be sinful and often are.
There's all kinds of things wrong with that observation. It doesn't take into account the faith of people in "secular" bands, and it also ignores Christian bands that aren't mainstream enough to be played on the radio. One also needs to consider what the record labels want to promote. If one band with a particular style seems to do well, then other record companies rush to promote other bands that sound kind of like them - and much of the time, the "imitators" are seen as poor ones, even if they've been around for longer. Christian record labels do this too, so the effect of this on Christian bands seems to be outsized.I know some people like the modern worship and that's great, I couldn't take it anymore it is very commercialized and uncreative, if I was Satan I would keep it just the way it is as lukewarm as the church of laodicea. You can't tell one band from the other and it just seems like repetitious brain washing chants. This is just my opinion my wife listens to it all the time but when my son says Christian music just isn't as good as secular I want to tell him he is wrong but I can't because he is probably right.
