He wrote on his application that he can't work Sunday because "Sundays are for the Lord." He sounds like either someone extremely irony poisoned or like a homeschool Christian kid.
Not only will he have to work with me. This is a job that will make him question the existence of a benevolent God. :agony-immense:
I just checked out avantasia, the Christian rock im talking about isn't nearly as theatrical or fun as that. I do still have a soft soft spot for switchfoot though
Switchfoot is the only music that ever came out of the christian "scene" that I ever found worth listening too.
Meant to live absolutely rips.
I went back to listen to skillet and p.o.d and didn't find much worthwhile. The street fight podcast guys have a podcast about rap-rock called the p.o.d-cast that's pretty cool if you have any nostalgia for the genre. P.o.d mostly sucks but the song boom still holds up.
Will check it out, thanks.
Looking at it more closely, I assumed they were Christians because of the imagery and the scenario of their metal opera (where a christian 17th century inquisitor discovers his sister is a "witch" and then meets a druid that introduces him to an alternate world of spirituality), but in fact it appears they are not; the creator, Tobias Sammet, apparently said in an interview he doesn't consider himself one and just really digs the Christian imagery. Here's a full description of the scenario for part 1. One of my favourite is The Seven Angels.
Yeah thats the sense I get. Most Christian bands wouldn't be cool with a song about meeting a chill witch haha
