Cool band!
What's a nice christian like you doing listening to music like this?
Heh... I'm not a huge fan, but I enjoy this genre. I've been following the drummer, Gene "the machine" Hoglan since he was in Death. I kind of wish he stayed with them, but oh well.
Before I was a Christian I listened to this music, and then some, and still do to some degree based on the content. My old band used to play shows all throughout Florida in the metal/hardcore circuit until it dissolved in '99.
But since my conversion, I've filtered a lot of that music and phased it out of my life. For instance, I grew up on Slayer. And though I still like most of their music (albeit the newest album was a complete disappointment), its so anti-christ that I just can't stomach it. Its not even that I feel some sort of duty to not listen to it, some it just sickens me to the core.
But I still listen to metal and hardcore.
Ever listened to Meshuggah? Incredibly talented band - very heavy with superb drumming.
Yes, I have listened to them. They are , technical, original and I think they're very talented, but for some reason I can't really get into it that much.
