I'm a catholic yet barely ever listen to Christian music. I'm going to hell I guess.

Album Rating: 4.5

you should listen to the above because they're very good and underrated, not necessarily because they're christian, but if you dig that they're christian that's cool i guess

Ok so maybe I should have said there's about 10 good Christian metal bands in a sea of shit, would that have been better?

Album Rating: 4.5

what would have been better is to actually listen to them cuz they're really good

There's like a whole Christian metalcore/deathcore scene which is pretty atrocious which is mainly what I was referring to.

There's a band called Order of Elijah that used to be part of the scene but recently "found science" (whatever that means); basically they found a Richard Dawkins video or something and now they go on tirades online about how bad religion is like some 12 yo redditers and just basically shit on all their Christian fans. Check their Facebook, it's hilariously tragic

my bad, i thought we were talking about metal. though if you are interested in some proper metalcore (not the modern kind) that's also christian, check out zao and training for utopia.

lmao that's cringe af

there's like a whole metalcore/deathcore scene that's pretty atrocious, with many non-religious as well as christian bands

is what i think you meant

"my bad, i thought we were talking about metal."

Yeah well, I thought sputnik people would be the kinda people to be so 'enlightened' as to call core metal. Since everyone seems to shit on elitism around here. But I agree lol

Hahha so true, but it's even more cringe when they're singing bout Jesus

it's not about elitism



Taking the term literally, and breaking it apart, yes, we definitely are a true example of “metalcore,” a hybrid of hardcore and metal. When we used to joke with the term, it was just a clever (or not so clever) way of describing a metallic hardcore, metal-influenced hardcore, or hardcore-influenced metal band. My friends and I would listen to Deadguy and say “this isn’t HARDcore, it’s METALcore,” which made sense based on the music they played, combined with the attitude and ethic of the band. Same thing used to be said for Earth Crisis, Integrity, Coalesce, Unbroken, and a lot of the 90s bands that incorporated heavier riffs and more progressive structuring and ideas into their songs. When the term “metalcore” was thrown around back then it was very tongue-in-cheek; this, obviously, long before it became a legitimate genre, it’s [sic] current legitimacy being highly debatable, of course. “Metalcore,” the actual genre in 2008 doesn’t usually seem like a hybrid of hardcore and metal as much as it just seems like metal, only written by people who imitate it rather than love it, typically resulting in trite and shallow music. If this accurately describes “metalcore” then we clearly do not embrace the term. Conversely, if Earth Crisis and Deadguy define “metalcore, ” count us in.

if u seriously think having jesus lyrics inherently make a band worse then you suck

Album Rating: 4.5

yeah i mean there's far worse lyrics throughout metal

I mean if Jesus lyrics automatically makes an artist shite then I guess Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye should be completely disregarded for their immense legacy lol
