I woke up to find they just released this! Ive been loving the album so far!
I've been learning more and more about metal and power metal, which has rapidly become my favorite genre to listen to, such fantastic vocals, guitar, and drums. So in an effort to learn more these are two questions I have.
One is the high vocals because of the popularity of Judas Priest?
And second is there a difference in American power metal (generally speaking) and European power metal? If so what is that difference because I swear I can almost two different styles within power metal.
death metal or brutal death metal christian bands that sound like Cannibal Corpse, Sufffocation or Dying Fetus?
Hi guys! Does anyone know any black metal band similar to Dissection, Emperor, etc. All this nordic scene in general.
Atmospheric, melodic, technical... But without those lyrics about satanism.
Thanks in advance
So I am working on making a song the title is 'Judas' obviously by the title. But I don't know if the lyrics need any work or anything? Feel free to give some criticism, this is supposed to be a Death Metal Christian song.
Verse 1: Shadows creep, temptation calls Silver coins, in the dark, they fall A whispered lie, a choice I made For fleeting gain, a soul betrayed I kissed the hand that gave me life Turned my back, plunged the knife What have I done? Who am I now? Is there mercy to be found? Pre-Chorus: Am I different than Judas? For I betrayed the kindest friend Now lost in the darkness, With a wound I cannot mend Chorus: I sold my soul, I sealed my fate Now it's too late, it's too late The blood runs cold, the debt I owe I bear the weight of what I know Verse 2: I hear the whispers in my mind Echoes of a love once kind But I chose the chains, the price I paid The blood on my hands will never fade Thirty pieces, for a heart of stone Now I walk this path alone The cross I see, His face I fear I thought the end of grace was near Pre-Chorus: Am I different than Judas? For I betrayed the kindest friend Now lost in the darkness, With a wound I cannot mend Chorus: I sold my soul, I sealed my fate Now it's too late, it's too late The blood runs cold, the debt I owe I bear the weight of what I know (of what I know) Bridge: The rope tightens, I feel the end Is there redemption for those who bend? The weight pulls me down, I cannot see Is this the cost of treachery? Chorus (Final): I sold my soul, I sealed my fate But grace broke through before too late The blood that saves, the debt He paid The chains are gone, my sins erased
I love Wytch Hazel, but anyone got recommendations for bands that aren't Wytch Hazel that have great guitar harmonies?
so ive been thinking about this topic and i am fully aware of the things they have said in the past but the lead singer and bassisit peter steel turned to our lord before his death and advocated to people to become christan and in the later albums that i belive whose created after he became follower of christ they dont say anything negativ about christianity and thats the whole point of jesus died for us is to forgive us and and if he repented would it be wrong to exept and forgive him (sorry if there are any spelling mistakes i have heavy dyslexia so thats why and if there are any grammer mistakes thats bcs my first languedge is not eng)
Basically I’m looking to slay out in games and I’m looking for the appropriate metal. (Doom soundtrack with of course be in the playlist)
Had never heard of, and just ran into Girder music. Tons of old school Christian metal on vinyl including limited run re-releases. Just wanted to spread the word. Just got my first shipment and was really happy - solid packaging.
One of my fave bands is STS. Are there any Christian artists in a similar vane. Looking for bleak but beautiful doom metal with death and clean vocals.
All right anyone have any good Christian metal love songs? Any genre is good. Can be about courting/dating, or a spouse.
So this is depicting The Valley of Dry Bones story from Ezekiel, drawn by the legend Gustave Dore. This is such an amazing drawing, the details, the composition, the skeletons, the clouds surrounding Ezekiel himself, awesome.
I know they're not metal, but man they were good!!
