I'm interested in, when exactly did the entire ''Metal'' genre split into sub-genres and factions. In the 80's, it seemed it was just metal, maybe some time in the 90's the great divide came and brought ''nu-metal'' and well since then there's all kinds and really, most of it sounds similar enough to just be called metal.

Sorry to stray off topic, but yes of course Christian metal is going to be the best, simply because the bands are battling the demons from the netherworlds by screaming about salvation through Jesus. YES!

White metal?

No, that sounds racist.

Viking hats, swords, pillaging and mead-drinking?

You think Christianity has nothing to do with demons? Read yr bible.

Early/Mid 80s as far as I know, Death Metal, Doom, Grind, Black Metal, Thrash all started around then. Did Power Metal start in the 80s?

Do Christian rockers have groupies?

DJ Rick · 02.05.2009, 03:04 PM

Televangelists have prostitutes...so why not?

I bought a Glaciial CD before I knew what they were about. If you can just get over the whole christer thing, they are pretty devastating.

I'm not really sure why a band's religious preference should play into what you think of the aeshetic of their musical output. I dnt think you need to be into Scientology to like Beck (or Flyentology to like El-P for that matter).

It shouldn't - unless you classify yourself as such.
Beck doesn't call himself a scientology rocker.
Stryper put out albums like "To Hell With The Devil"

noisereductions · 02.05.2009, 03:56 PM

yeah, true.

Rob Instigator · 02.05.2009, 04:11 PM

what's the point?

It is like heatless flame.

HaydenAsche · 02.05.2009, 04:16 PM

Ha. I used to see Crimson Thorn every year at the local Christian fest. Christian Black Metal is hilarious.

uhler · 02.05.2009, 04:21 PM

underoath used to be a christian black metal band.

davenotdead · 02.05.2009, 04:35 PM

yes they do.

acousticrock87 · 02.05.2009, 05:23 PM

Underoath didn't used to suck. Their first couple CDs (something about depression, and something about crying), when they were actually black metal, were really good.

Now they're complete shit. Same with Norma Jean. They were good at one point, and now they make me want to kill myself. Which I guess is very metal in its own way...

Christian metal has simply devolved. Ironic.

EDIT: Old Underoath

As for other bands, I saw Extol and The Agony Scene in high school, and they were both pretty good at the time. Based on the music video, though, I'm guessing Agony Scene has gone to shit.

gmku · 02.05.2009, 05:26 PM

I have an acquaintance who fronts a Christian metal band. He gave me his band's CD to listen to a year ago, and it's still in its cellophane wrapper. Yes, I am closed-minded about this shit. Then again, the dude does not inspire me to listen. He's a real douche bag. He gave his more irreverant girlfiriend a copy of the bible for Christmas.
