[QUOTE=margin0walker;15043452]christian music makes me vomit[/QUOTE]

Christianity isn't a genre of music.
The members of the band can be Christians and they can express their faith through their lyrics, but that doesn't make the music sound any different.

Some Christian bands play Rock music, Metal, Hardcore, Celtic Punk, ect. The genre of music is the same. It's just people that believe in the Christian faith play the music which doesn't make it sound any different.

Plus, when it comes to most Metal, you can barely hear what they're saying anyways so it doesn't make a difference.

War of Ages is just as Metalcore as Killswitch Engage.
Mortification is just as much as Death Metal as Behemoth (Yes, I know they play Blackened Death).
Flatfoot 56 is just as Celtic Punk as The Dropkick Murphys, if not, more.

I've said my piece.

Yeah, but what I've noticed is that any band that labels themselves "Christian" is a lot more boring than their non-Christian contemporaries. And I have no idea why.

Perhaps it's just a coincidence?

When it comes to Metalcore, The Devil Wears Prada owns Catherine.
TDWP is Christian. Catherine isn't.

Maybe, but it's held true for 99.99999% of the Christian bands I've listened to.

Maybe it's the fact that all the Christian bands I've listened to are drop dead terrible -core bands. Much like TDWP.

"Christian" bands enjoy making the distinction. Why do you think there are Christian rock radio stations and stuff? It may not be a real genre, but it sure is a category that is used.

All Christian bands are drop dead terrible core?

You mean like mewithoutyou?
That generic, unoriginal, metalcore Christian group?
[url]www.purevolume.com/mewithoutyou[/url]

Or Project 86?
They're pretty crappy too.
Same old Metalcore, I'm used to always hearing.
[url]www.purevolume.com/project86[/url]

Flatfoot 56, P.O.D., The Chariot, Inhale Exhale, Life in Your Way, Blessed by a Broken Heart, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, ect.
All generic Crapcore.

Ha, no.
Every band I just listed are Christian bands I love, and that's just a couple a thought of in a matter of seconds.

All original (maybe not Inhale Exhale).

I said all the ones I listened to. Not all of them out there. I'm well aware that there's non-core Christian bands. I just can't be arsed to listen to them cause they bore me to tears.

The first band you listed, their singer should be shot. He's tonedeaf.

The second one is decent, but not my cup of tea.

My point is there are original Christian bands out there.

im with you on like the whole third list. awesomes bands. The Chariot is insane live and so is Maylene

Indeed they are.
I saw them both the same day.

The Chariot sure can put on a show.

they sure can. i also saw Project 86 with Inhale Exhale and Showbread, and they were all pretty intense, especially Inhale Exhale.

Project 86 aren't very original.

Name one band that sounds remotely ANYTHING like them.

I used to listen to a Christian metal band called Mortification, I remember their double bass sounded like someone dribbling a basketball close to the floor real fast. lol
And Living Sacrifice they were good. Not all good metal is death.:->

Mortification are horrendous.

[QUOTE=Luc214;15209505]Mortification are horrendous.[/QUOTE]

Yes thats why I said "used to" lol!

How about Necrophagist!!! Oooops wrong board. lol :)

project 86 are just a hard rock band, nothing real original. living sacrifice were a pretty good band back in the day. i have their greatest hits album that has some newer songs on it like In Christ which has a killer intro. lyrics are a little too preachy but it doest bother me much

Maylene and The Chariot own.

the Chariot sucks, but Maylene on the other hand kick ***. if you like maylene then i recommend this band Revolution Mother, theyre not christian but they play awesome southern metal

[QUOTE=Dimmu Burger;15210590]Maylene and The Chariot own.[/QUOTE]

cheers to that! both are sick live

[QUOTE=jrowa001;15210530]project 86 are just a hard rock band, nothing real original.[/QUOTE]

You must not have listened to anything from them to come to that conclusion.
I'm not a huge fan of Project (they're good, and they're sick live, but nothing too huge to defend), but I have not heard anything from them that sounds anything like any other band existence besides maybe a couple of songs off their self-titled, back when they didn't establish their own style yet.

Also, no one has a vocal style even close to their frontman, Andrew Schwab. Their new CD has some unoriginal songs on there, but every song on that CD is a different genre for the most part.

Mike V's band?
I love Mike V, but his band is not that good at all.

[QUOTE=DJTeeLay;15209267]My point is there are original Christian bands out there.[/QUOTE]

But not all of them are good.

[QUOTE=Dimmu Burger;15210590]Maylene and The Chariot own.[/QUOTE]

I don't like Maylene, and The Chariot is mediocre.

gotta say as i lay dying

[QUOTE=\m/-CHeV-\m/;15213277]gotta say as i lay dying[/QUOTE]

what about them?

I gotta say Deicide.

Oh wait.

lol that was so funny i wish i was as good a comedian as you are, Hbp. Please show me the way.

Ok. It's easy.

Shoot I forgot how to do it. Sorry man!

I have to mention Stryper too :D

I can only hope to be as hilarious as you one day.

Anyway, I think I've mentioned them before in here, but does anyone like A Plea For Purging?
