You know I'm a Christian as well, But I really truely believe, "If you know youre heart and its in the right place, and are righteous in spirit, as well as a good person who does not JUDGE anyone, then any dark forces should not be feared". I listen to all kinds of Death Metal and other extreme music, I do get turned off by "Dark" lyrics, and I never did like "Gore Metal" (though I do like Carcass because they were pioneers and did "it" differently, but I like the post-"Tools of the Trade" era the best). But I'm VERY picky with my Death Metal and Black Metal. I too are more into the "Progressive" Metal (and Rock) because its more diverse, but I've kept all my loves from the past as well as the new. By the way, Psycroptic are awesome! Love that Math/Death Metal.
But hey, I have to ask, one of the reasons (But mostly because of the Music)I don't like Glam Metal/ Hard Rock, doesnt Glam glorify the "Sex, over excessive lifestyles, and Rock n' Roll"? The ones that are of a "True" Glam Rock I've witnessed anyway. I'd have to think Death, Thrash and Black Metal may have better values (isnt that weird) instead of pretentious ones. And sometimes I get a bit bothered some bands that are called "Glam" and "Hair Bands" (God I hate that, that would mean ALL Metal are Hair Bands ). But forgive, I'm not a big Glam fan .
By the way, I'm a "Dave Mustaine" kind of Christian, I may cuss once in awhile and "hate" (Hey, there are some hard-core Evils out there), but I refuse to judge anyone who does no harm and are just decent folk . I'm not here on Earth to add to the [%&*@]s that think they are holier than thou. As I am fond of saying, many people I have met that wear crosses around their neck "Becomes an Albatross around their neck , more like a Tournaquet" (Which I wrote in a Song lyric years ago). Or listen to "One Foot in Hell" by Forbidden, thats how I see it (By the way, singer Russ Anderson is a Christian and has a band called "Parking Lot Prophets"): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dZ7s0_lPRc
But to each his own Thanks for the reply! And look forward to more Spiritual Bands! I've missed out on alot from back in the day.

Hey there thats encouraging and I think its great to get into other types of metal as long as it doesnt effect you in a negative way. i certainly cant listen to bands like cannibal Corpse anymore tho i loved that 'hammer Smashed Face;' riffing they do.
I have heard Carcas' 'Been Caught Buttering' - the lyrics were atrocious
nI WAS KIND OF DISTURBED BUT THERE YOU GO. I still love Kreator 'Some Pain Will Last' and Napalm Death's 'Suffer the Children' and Bolt Throwers 'Cenotaph' are all classic in speed thrashs death. <My Christian buddie swould not agree but hey I am a music connosieur....
Metallica and Megadeth are awesome IMHO and Iron Maiden esp 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner'
Nice talking
