Life metal (music)

Yo Duders

I listen to Christian death metal also known as life metal and ive found some prett incredible bands thought you might like to chek em out

August burns red

Demon hunter

Project 86

Red

Haha.....what?

Wh..huh?

When did metalcore with Christian themes become "life metal"?. That's like saying death metal with Nordic themes is "Viking metal" or some shit (I feel like I should put a /sarcasm here for some people).

Yo, quit trying to make metal more obnoxious for us. Genre distinctions are already bad.

I would rather listen to SiD Metal, thanks

Is that the same as drinking non-alcoholic beer?

You might want to listen to more death metal if you think Red is death metal. Demon hunter is the only band you listed that's close to what I'd christian death metal. Haven't heard Project 86 though, so can't say for that one.

I prefer math metal, like Meshuggah or Dillinger Escape Plan :D

Christian death metal makes about as much sense as a nazi reggae band

We like to keep our Metal dark and satanic in here, thank you very much.

Diablo hate squad

An oxymoron.

Black Metal and Christian Black Metal are both just obnoxious guitars coupled with even more obnoxious vocals and both are lyrically based on childish fantasy worlds.

There. That's my once a year trolling quota filled.

YEEEAAH BROO PRAISE THE LORD WITH THESE HOT DEATH RIFFS

I like to think that music is more interesting where the lines blur. If you insist on calling it metal to begin with, don't get so specific as to call it life metal please.

Christians kill people too, guys!

As an atheist (also an awesome band) I don't believe in God or Satan, but I do love me some Metal. The only Christian Metal band that I ever listen to is Extol.

Oh and how can I forget Tourniquet...

Link some of their songs O_o

I hate metal for the most part though so that won't do me any good.

If you had told me this about a week ago, I may have given them a chance, but as it happens SNSD released their latest album a couple days ago and I have already dedicated my entire life to listening to that non-stop.

Sorry.

Yall postin in a troll thread.

I love rocking Faith+1 
Best band ever hallelujah praise jesus 
 

 Does it make a band special if you put a word "christian" in front of it?

yes, but the "special" kind of special

I'll recommend a viking metal band. Demonaz - March of the Norse, you should listen to it.

Alestorm is hilarious if you fancy pirate metal.

i knew about red, you should check out skillet, and flyleaf. pretty crazy songs by them.

I like some music by bands that have a Christian message but I find it easy enough to ignore

Hahaha Christian metal

When I listen to Metal the last thing I want to hear is some idiot preaching for the whole album. Here's looking at you Glen Benton!

Also why do some metal heads find it necessary to put their favorite bands in a box and categorize them with ridiculous sub-genre names like "math metal"? For me it's simply metal or it isn't.

Yeah, the only distinction I ever feel the need to make would be old school metal vs new school, they have pretty significant differences. Iron Maiden has a very different flavor from Mastodon. I think the key difference is that people started to go to guitar schools and learn a more technical style, rather than just being self-taught and building off the last 50 years of rock and blues.

LOLOLOLOLOl lets listen so sum Cr33d guys!!!!!

@big_jon: I was looking for an excuse to post this.

It's stupid how many genre's and sub-genre's metal has been broken down into. That chart from A Headbanger's Journey is ridiculous. Sometimes it feels as stupid as like "well this one style uses two bass kicks, while this other one uses one tapped really fast so we had to split them out."

This thread makes my head hurt. I happen to listen to a fair amount of Christian metal, and really don't see why some people feel the need to make comments such as "lolol christian metal is an oxymoron!" Granted, the OP's post is really stupid and kind of inviting people to make fun of it.

First off, none of the bands he listed are death metal. Red isn't metal of any kind, and Project 86 is questionable, especially their later stuff. ABR and Demon Hunter are both "metalcore", which means they have as much (if not more) in common with hardcore as they do with metal (I'd probably lump Project 86 into this group as well).

Secondly, I've never heard anyone use the term "life metal." Ever. Like, ever ever.

@Axxol: They do NOT kill! They simply dish out the wrath of God.

Eh, life metal, christian metal, it matters not: When Mr.Lordi comes a'knocking, ye had best be a'rocking.

(As an aside, I listen to everything from death metal to folk metal to techno to rap to frelling lady gaga. The best tastes in music will always be yer own, not anyone elses)

Embers breaks?
