It's Alright If You Tell Me About God, As Long As You Do It With Rock!
 

Alternate Thread Title We Need A Music Section - we have books, comics, movies, games, but no music section?

I hate to say it, but YouTube halps me to find my music. I usually fall in love with a series, like Jekyll, and search for my favorite clips on YouTube when i'm bored. I find a few interesting FMV's, and fall in love with the music they used. Well, after browsing one day, I came across a band named Skillet - they're a Christian Rock band. Do not, under any circumstances, let that turn you off. These guys are really good. I've posted some of their music videos below, so take a look. Seriously.

Skillet - Comatose
Skillet - Whispers In The Dark
Skillet - Rebirth

I also found Subway To Sally this way. These guys aren't are what Nightwish would be if Nightwish was German. That alone warrants a link:

Subway To Sally - Ohne Leibe
Subway To Sally - Mephisto

I don't know much about Within Temptation, but I do know that I like this song:

Within Temptation - What Have You Done Now

I've found a lot of music I like through Pandora. It's awesome, and I highly recommend it. Unfortunately, 42 tells me it's unavailable in Canada, so...

And I agree that we should shove a music forum or subforum in somewhere.

Learn more about them.

Now.

Her voice is amazing. And the semi-orchestral background music is awesome too.

Also, youtube is how I find lots of music too. That and myspace.

Some christian bands (or at least semi-christian somewhat) that I like despite my non-religiousness are Killswitch Engage, Flyelaf, All That Remains, and probably some others that I can't think of right now.

Within Temptation - Angels
Within Temptation - Stand My Ground
Within Temptation - The Howling
Within Temptation - Mother Earth
Within Temptation - Memories

Machinae Supremacy's new album is worth a listen. Not as good as some of their previous works IMO, but nothing terrible.

Overworld

It sounds kind of odd, but I actually prefer religious music that's in a different language I don't understand. With religious music, it always ends up coming off as kinda corny or too touchy-feely for my tastes, but usually the music without the lyrics does enough for me.

It's all right Red, I got you covered:

E Nomine - Mitternact
E Nomine - Vater Unser Basically, the Lord's Prayer in German.
E Nomine - Das Tir In Mir This is the only one that's not religious; it's Pagan, details about wolves.
E Nomine - Das Omen This is a fantastic, epic piece.

Oh, since we're talking about religious music... Slayer.

Seriously. Tom Araya, the lead singer of arguably the most popular 'satanic' band of all time, is a Catholic.

EDIT- Paganism is a religion, Seil. Just FYI.

Forgive my ignorance where Slayer is concerned (perhaps their 'satanic' overtones are really masking deeply religious platitudes?), but the religiosity of individual band members doesn't mean the band itself should be considered religious. I'm sure a lot of guitarists and bassists and drummers and other riffraff in the entire secular musical spectrum consider themselves [religion X] practitioners, but their band is still considered secular.

I'm also a bit inorant when it comes to Slayer, but I doubt they are truly satanic. Just your typical "no smiling" metal band. Just violent/morbid/etc.

I mean, Angel of Death is about concentration camps n shit. The first word in it is "Auschwitz". Like, not pro or con but just concentration camps. I don't think there's anything satanic about them, its just a label attached to the music by ignorant people.

But then again, I said I was ignorant so what does that make me?
