bx_racer Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 personally i dont see anything wrong with death if you dont let it get to you. i really dont know much about Christian metal, but isnt iron maiden Christian. Oh, and In Flames is probably secular but you should hear embody the invisible by them. its cool.
Dreamweaver Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 Heh, DemonSlayer is a resident metal-know-it-all. [url="http://www.metalforjesus.org/ref.html"]Here's[/url] a list of a whole bunch of Christian metal bands, arranged by genre and similar bands listed. A word of warning, few, if any, are Catholic, so some may be critical of organized Christianity. AFAIK, Iron Maiden as a band isn't Christian, but Nicko McBrain, the drummer, [url="http://www.godscare.net/witness/Iron%20Maiden.htm"]became a born again Christian[/url] a few years ago.
Fixxxer Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 eternal desicion, thats all u need they are like metallica
InCircles Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 here's a list of stuff i used to listen to that was pretty awesome: ZAO(old CD's are christian...i dont think they are anymore) Underoath Stretch Arm Strong Between The Lies Martyr Sinai Beach Falling Cycle im pretty sure that these bands are christian...but you should still follow up on any news because they can change and then be on the look out for anti-catholic lyrics...i used to like this band called mourning again...until i bought one of their old Cd's and found out how anti-catholic they were. peace out i'll see if i can find anymore bands.

[quote]I stand alone in this desolate space In death they are truly alive Massacred innocence, evil took place The angels were burning inside Centuries later I wonder why What secret they took to their grave Still burning heretics under our skies Religion's still burning inside At the gates and the walls of Montsegur Blood on the stones of the citadel At the gates and the walls of Montsegur Blood on the stones of the citadel At the gates and the walls of Montsegur Blood on the stones of the citadel At the gates and the walls of Montsegur Blood on the stones of the citadel [b]As we kill them all so God will know his own The innocents died for the Pope on his throne Catholic greed and its paranoid zeal [/b] Curse of the grail and the blood of the cross Templar believers with blood on their hands Joined in the chorus to kill on demand Burned at the stake for their soul's liberty To stand with the cathars, to die and be free The book of Old Testament crippled and black Satan - his weapon is lust Leaving this evil damnation of flesh Back to the torture of lies The perfect ones willingly died at the stake And all of their followers slain As for the knowledge of God they had claimed Religion's still burning inside Templar believers with blood on their hands Joined in the chorus to kill on command Burned at the stake for their soul's liberty Still running heretics under our skies As we kill them all so God know his own Laugh at the darkness and in god we trust The eye in the triangle smiling with sin No passover feast for the cursed within Facing the sun as they went to their grave Burn like a dog or you live like a slave Death is the price for your soul's liberty To stand with the cathars and to die and be free [/quote] By the way, the bands I posted earlier with the exception of the Catholic bands and Soul Embraced, have pages at purevolume, e.g. [url="http://www.purevolume.com/"]http://www.purevolume.com/[/url][i]band[/i]. Sinai Beach is anti-Catholic. Zao's members are Christian, but they don't consider them a Christian band anymore, due to the misrepresentation that the name "Christian" may bring, but their last album still was strongly Christian-themed (the hypothetical death of God and the effect on mankind). Last i heard Stretch Armstong no longer consdiered themsleves Christian (or a Christian band). Edited June 13, 2005 by DemonSlayer

Crispy Posted June 14, 2005 Author Posted June 14, 2005 there was a thread that talked about this a while ago. i dont know much about the crusades either, but it is more than white (or black i guess) washing the catholics and pope as power hungry and sadistic butchers. true, there were some very misguided catholic leaders, even a few bad popes, but all must be looked at, not just a limited view. correct me if im wrong, but i think most of the crusades were not as unjust as people say. i think it was the last crudade (6th, 7th??) but i digess. thx for the metal bands guys, i will be looking into them. any more to add to the list would be appreciated. Peace.

bx_racer Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 ask seven sorrows, his drummer (or he if hes the drummer) used to be in this one called disarm
luciana Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 The band Disarm was not specifically Catholic, but had Catholic ideas. They broke up, but Seven Sorrows has the music somewhere on their site as mp3s. www.sevensorrows.com

dtofdh Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Demonslayer.. I was asking if you are familiar with "myspace" the site in general...not my own page. I pretty much figured you wouldnt be familiar with my band's page. Are you on myspace, it is a great way to get familiar with a lot of Christian music. Any music for that matter. You should add if you aren't already.
Joey1976 Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Zao is anti-Catholic. I heard them make comments in a magazine ad.

DemonSlayer Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 (edited) One "Christian" hardcore band that seems to be very anti-Catholic is Seventh Star, just look at their e-card, [url="http://www.facedownrecords.com/broodofvipers/MOSH.html"]here[/url]...I think the drawings are meant to represent priests (the snakes) and The Pope (the sheep on the chair). :shame: Edited June 21, 2005 by DemonSlayer
