Three days to rise
If he lives again he is sure to die
I killed jesus
Just to see him bleed on his pulpis throne
I am evil
I'm the Deicide and I killed the lord
No more reasons
I will kill the world in another form

I RULE THIS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRLD!!!!!!!!

NAIL HIM!!!

hmm so if you rule the world, how come our president isnt numustdie?

all i meant by this was why isnt he in a position of power, like president or emperor, or dictator?

because our president doesn't rule the world.

hahahaha

someone who rules the world would have the title of something like an emperor, not a president. And that was a childish response to an even more childish ......"stanza", for lack of a better word. Replace everytime NuMustDie says "lord" or "jesus" with "bully" or "dad". Sounds like Nu Metal doesn't it?

I downloaded Aeon's discography, thinking they were good as they are signed to UL. One of the most boring bands I know, it turns out.

How many people here think this guy is a troll?

When I was 12 years old, Zao's "Liberate Te Ex Inferis" was the album that got me started on metal. Compared to what I listen to now its relatively tame, but of course when I was 12 I thought it was absolutely the shit. I still listen to it occasionally for the nostalgic effects.

PST's post earlier in this thread is right on the money : I've attended church from my infancy to the time that I was 18, so I've seen the best and the worst of christian-themed metal/rock/rap/whatever. You've never been tortured with sound until you've had to endure Gospel Gangstaz. From my personal experiences of having played with christian musicians, being around bands that were christian, seeing lots of live shows ( I've still seen WAY more christian shows in my life than non-christian shows ), getting to have in-depth conversations with people who were signed, it became blatantly obvious that quality control that is of first concern in the secular arena is basically non-existant in christian metal/rock. Its not there because it does'nt have to be : A great number of people attending the shows and buying the cd's are going to listen to christian music whether it sucks or not. The pressure on christian bands to release quality material is just not there like it is in the secular arena. I remember reading HM Magazine, which never ever gave a bad review of any album, no matter how much they wanted to admit that it sucked. I listened to everything from Bloodgood to Living Sacrifice, and out of it all I can only think of a handful of albums that stick out in my mind ( that Zao disc being one ), and even then, they absolutely fucking pale in comparison to Reign In Blood, Chaosphere, Annihilation Of The Wicked ... the list goes on.

Then again, I have'nt really listened to a lot of christian metal in almost 6 years. Its drastically improved, what with As I Lay Dying and Extol, but I don't think I'll ever take christian metal as a whole seriously.

I know its a long drawn out post, but it really is something I feel strongly about. I've a total disgust for a subculture that absolutely thrives on banality.

Trouble.

ever heard ?

sympathy
slechtkvalk
extol ( burial to undeceived)
crimson moonlight
believer
haven
rob rock/impelliteri

all of these bands are just as good as anyone else in their genres if not better (sympathy, extol, and crimson moonlight make albums equal if not two times better than many secular acts!)

and the band im in are completely made up of christian members and we care ALOT about putting out very high quality music with a very high quality message. Take a listen to any of those bands i listed, youll be as surprised as i was when i first started listening to christian metal, considering i was a christian who listened to metal anyway i hadnt heard any metal with the message in it, and ill admit some bands were two or three times worse than their secular counterparts but certain bands were equal if not better...

plus anything HM puts out anymore about metal anymore is metalcore stuff, and telling a band they suck is tough man, instead HM just gave reviews with constructive criticism instead of just dissing the band like many magazines do nowadays.

Dude, you are completely right about that. People are fucking ignorant when it comes to religion, including the KKK who singled out Catholics, of all fucking people, in their hillbilly crusade.

The Showdown are Christian, they also happen to kick ass.

Someone had mentioned Antestor. They are actually a black metal band from my country (because they didn't want to be confused as a satanic band, they prefer "sorrow metal"). They do sound black metal, but I'm not a big fan of theirs (although some songs are pretty dark and heavy and are ok). I am not a Christian, but I don't think it should matter about whether a band is a certain religion or not because metal is supposed to be about the music. The lyrics don't always make a song good. Not that it's wrong to incorporate your beliefs in it, that's what metal is here for.The guy who said all metal should be satanic is an idiot, but that's his opinion. Metal is music and should not be a tool of cults and religion, but an expression of beliefs by the artist.
