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.

Heh, DemonSlayer is a resident metal-know-it-all. :lol:

[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.

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.

It's true that that guy became a Christian, but their last album had a very anti-Catholic song about the crusades...
[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

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).

werent the crusades really bad because the pope just did it for power or something like that and a lot of people were killed? in history class i heard that in this one battle the commander told them to kill everybody and let God sort them out. i'm not exactly very educated in the crusades so correct me if im wrong.

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.

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.
