Are they more talented, or do you just like the message that they are singing about more?
by Andrew on November 22nd, 2009
because you like satanic metal music more
by druebeall on November 22nd, 2009
Who says? My favorite band is a Christian Rock band and they are HOT. The name of the band is SKILLET.

I think that would be a matter of opinion.

I personally don't believe there is a difference. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with listening to Heavy metal if that ia what you like to listen to but I don't believe God is in heavy metal music so called christian or not.
by guardian on December 8th, 2009
because most Christian bands are scared to go to far, and Satanic bands only want to push the limits of limits...+3
GOD bless

Because Satan is much more musically talented! That is unless you don't count that incident that happened in Georgia! : ) He doesn't go down there anymore.

They are? Most Satanic Metal bands usually are death metal and black metal bands and most of those bands sound like crap. I'm sorry to say that death metal is not music, The instruments usually are a rapid fire mess, Too heavy and too fast to really be called music. The vocals are are just silly, The sound more cartoony than serious. It really is childish to sing like the cookie monster. Death Metal is a tool kids use to scare their mommies. I usually laugh at them. Black Metal is the same with annoying screeching vocals. They all sound like a death metal version of Alvin and the Chipmonks. Maybe the guitarists ,bassist, and drummer are talented but they are wasting their talent by playing way too fast for people to really hear their skills. The vocals are a joke and have no melody whatsoever. You need melody for it to be considered music. Cannible Corpse vocalist George Fisher once said he hopes to improve as a singer. I hate to tell you this George but you are no singer. I heard your attempt at melody once and it was so crappy. You couldnt hit a note if your life depended on it and sounded very monotone. Alot of these bands are do not even worship satan. They just act like they do to sell albums. Controversy sells and they know it.

Im a christian metalhead and i hate christian metal. Personally i think its because the less religious your are the easier it is to get pissed and christian bands refuse to write about anything but how good god is and you cant really be pissed about a subject like that.
by my2cents--Vote for Paul on March 1st, 2010
Do you have any examples of these satanic bands that are so much better? I have heard some of them: Slayer, Desmond Child. So not consider them better. They certainly do not sell more albums. As they are not main stream. The christian metal that I have heard tend to put more concentration on the lyrics not that they cannot play as well. That was always a complaint of mine they just sang to much (would sing through the guitar solo if it even had one).

Now I do hope that you are not claiming that all those bands that are not christian are satanic as that is not the case. To me Metallica is one of the best groups out there and they sell lots of albums and are NOT satanic.

Which group(s) are you saying is better and is satanic?
by Riding the last galaxy on February 26th, 2010
Talent is in the eye and ear of the beholder. It depends on who is listening to and critiquing the music. Personally, I don't like Satanic or Christian heavy metal music. I find them both loud, tasteless, and offensive.
by Omar Little on December 22nd, 2009
Because Christianity and Rock should not mix in the first place, they don't belong together.
Billy Connolly says it best in the link I provide, Rock is not "He is my saviour", it's "I am the Devil and I wanna f*ck your mother".

I think it is true to some degree, and the answer is quite simple really:
Satanists make some kind of deal with Satan, they give him something(their soul, life,kids,health, whatever) and he gives them musical inspiration and through it glory and fame. Christians instead use their OWN talent and ability to glorify GOD, rather than themselves. At least that last bit is how they start out, some of them get high on the fame.

They just get paid better
by stonedsober on December 22nd, 2009
You can't top Soulfly. but for the answer, It is because of the selfishness and self centerdness to attain what they want drives them to perfect their talents to please themselves and to get the selfish validation of being the best while christians accell to do God's work by praise from the heart. They recognize the God given talent with a desire to please Him. Heavy metal is great for self motivation and feeds aggression. amp up to fuel the desire. christians get amped on life and in return offer their talents to the Lord and that might be why it doesn't move knowledge worshippers.
dog eat dog. get my ends without regard to others and the audience relates. this answer says more than it appears to. a lot of these words take on many different meanings and understandings depending on life experience of reader. a vs. b
lyrics are everything to me. I do not care for temporal content of bling or look what I can do. I want to hear eternal validations of truth that moves me to seek the real riches. hell yeah. I do love talented musicians even if they are "satanic." respect for human achievments. tear it up. there sure is a lot of crappy christian music. I like bad religion, soulfly and my own creations. oh yeah and singin at church with all the judgemental do gooders. God bless em. And may satan possess the package pushers to greater levels of musical aspirations.

They seem to have more complex guitar solos and faster drum rhythms with complicated variations.
by failed_stoic on November 22nd, 2009
Ok, I can agree on that too. I don't consider myself a satanist but I will admit that I find the heavy metal music more attractive.
by Shes Country on November 22nd, 2009
really good point I will bring that up to my Christian friends...+3
by guardian on December 8th, 2009
I really don't understand the words to the songs unless I read the lyrics or have heard the song quite a few times.
by failed_stoic on December 8th, 2009
yeah Death music really has problems with that..
by guardian on December 9th, 2009
To be clear here...heavy metal music and Satanic music are two different genres.
by Aquatic Eagle on December 9th, 2009
I think that it was known that we were talking about the heavy metal Death metal etc bands that are pro Satan(since their are christian Heavy, Death metal bands), but bands thought about here are like H.I.M., I.C.P., Marylin Manson, Lamb of god (I really hate that band......) thats just to name a few mainstream bands.
by guardian on December 10th, 2009
"I don't consider myself a satanist but I will admit that I find the heavy metal music more attractive."
I was just addressing the above comment because it implied that there is a degree of Satanism in heavy metal music.
by Aquatic Eagle on December 10th, 2009
agreed and it was a good point for clarifying
by guardian on December 10th, 2009
if i may correct you guardian. there is no such thing as satan. so your statement would really be "I think that it was known that we were talking about the heavy metal Death metal etc bands that are pro Satan(ism) (since their are christian Heavy, Death metal bands), but bands thought about here are like H.I.M., I.C.P., Marylin Manson, Lamb of god (I really hate that band......) thats just to name a few mainstream bands."

That is your concept... Just because you have never met him doesn't mean he doesn't exist.
Only if you are a complete Atheist can you say that. If you are any other religion that believes in some type of afterlife or higher power or the powers of darkness (Hinduism, Christianity, Muslims, Satanists, Luciferians, Witchcraft, Voodoo, Shintoism,etc.) all believe in some type of afterlife and some type of other creatures, usually expressed simply as angels/demons or spirits etc.
so my appology but you really cannot correct me I believe in a litteral Satan.
Do you believe in ANYTHING after you die at all?????? (good bad Heaven Hell Nirvana Peace a different conciousness etc.)
by guardian on August 23rd, 2010
One, I can flip what you said right back on you so it's not a very defensive argument. "Just because you have never met him doesn't mean he doesn't exist." Guardian, you have been told falsehoods of satanist i believe, because satanist don't believe in a higher power or an afterlife of any sort. But, i do believe in something after you die. you get buried and rot in the ground for eternity, or until you finish decomposing.
by Nova on August 23rd, 2010
The problem with your argument is that, I have been prior into occultism. You beleive what you believe because of what you have not seen, I believe what I believe because of what I have seen. It is not what I have been told, it is what I have witnessed.
That is the difference.
