I've had a passion for metal since I was a kid of about 9 or 10! I've run the gammut of styles from pop metal (Oh puh-leaaase) to grind-core. Yes there are a few bands that promote Satans work and the evil side of life but the MAJORITY use their Music to simply relate the realities of everyday life to the listener. I think it gets its bad rap not from the music itself, but the fact that many high profile "Godly" men admonish it as sinful or satanic. These are usually people of the same ilk as those who said Elvis was evil and perverse. I agree with other posters on the thread, it's not the music, but the message of the lyrics that are important.
I listen to bands like Mortification and Horde (Aussie Christian Metal / Thrash) when I'm working out because their music AND lyrics really are uplifting ...to my taste.
Not for everyone, but should not be condemned simply because of a minority who use it to promote evil
Paul:
You mentioned your wife on the other thread; so does she like Christian metal, too?
Blessings.
