maybe, but that still puzzles me especially if you are following the idea that songs promoting satan or going against christianity is reason to not listen to a band. When you find that this is also true of slayer it makes that reasoning a little flawed, however, even if that weren't the case it would still puzzle me why someone would support and promote ideas that are contrary to their own faith and religion. I mean its not like its just a case of differing beliefs its a case of actually ridiculing your faith, for comparison, its one thing listening to a band that promotes drug use its another to listen to a band telling you how dumb you are for being straightedge. I guess i think that over shadows how it sounds or at least plays a large enough part in things to make me find it puzzling why someone would omit that.

true
but i dont know it all just depends on the band and how good they are sometimes i can just look over that idk dude its complicated lol

just got back from seeing an AMAZING show.

Vitamin X (super fast straight edge hardcore from amsterdam) and Thou (Down-tuned sludge metal from lousiana).

Thou is my favorite band to get together in the past 5 years and they never disappoint live, but this set was AMAZING. they covered "screaming at a wall" and "sweet leaf" in the same set. i am so blown away still, and my neck hurts from headbanging.

metal as fuck. \m/

Its not complicated, is a matter of consistency, you either have a problem with bands being down on your religion or you don't. When you pick and chose when to use that reason and when to omit it pretty much voids that reason of integrity.

Some of you liked Finnish metal, so I can recommend you one band. They're big in Finland but I don't think they're very well-known in other countries.

Stam1na (and their song Hammasratas)

They're awesome live. Great moshpits, especially Wall of Deaths.

they are never going to stop at this rate. I saw them at ABC no rio twice in less than a year, which is totally unheard of with non US-based bands and even pretty unheard of of bands within the US unless they live really close.
