I'm really enjoying their work.
Anyone know if they are a Serious Christian band?

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.

RIght, Visual Audio Sensory Theater.
I haven't had a chance to check their web site. (actually, i'm just too lazy and thought maybe there would be a rabid fan here that could tell me more. THe sort of information about Christianity that I'm interested in.
Thanks!

ok well,
This band is NOT christian. - "Despite the christian overtones in some of the tracks (especially in I'm Dying), the CD as a whole is nihilstic and very dark."
this was taken from http://www.namesuppressed.com/syneryder/ar-vast.shtml
so there is a solid answer. No these guys are not christian.
God Bless

Hi folks,
Sorry to revive a thread 8 years later (!)... Im the author of the above linked review and wanted to clarify that the lead singer of VAST (Jon Crosby) did identify as Christian at the time of VASTs first album. eg In his interview at Ink19.com:
Some of their songs touch on issues of faith (eg Three Doors, Here, Im Dying), and some of the albums dark/nihilistic vibe comes from songs about questioning faith or spiritual separation. But theyre definitely not a Contemporary Christian Rock band though, and not all their songs are on those themes.
Anyway, hope that helps anyone who stumbles across this thread, like I did today!

I think VAST is about searching for the truth. I believe in good and evil and I believe Jesus was the Son of God, but I think people should just go with their heart, and do what they want to do.

VAST is a brilliant band and Jon has a very interesting mind when it comes to music. You can hear a lot of his own struggles in much of his early work.
