Let's be honest. Most Christian music totally sucks. There. I said it. And I have not been struck dead because it is the truth. Back in the 80's it was so common for a group of Christian dudes to take perfectly good music like Motley Crue and then give it the Jesus-Twist and call it their own. This movement lasted for a bit....then it slowly died out...that is until the late 90's when a band emerged with more grit and ferocity then even some non-Christian bands.
Out of the ashes of what was left of the Thrash metal scene and heading into the direction of the Hardcore/Metalcore scene arose Living Sacrifice. In my opinion the best Christian Death Metal Band to boot.....If it weren't for the LS crew you would not have the As I Lay Dying, the Demon Hunter, or the August Burns Red.....
Unlike most bands, the have currently a nine album Discography. All of brutality. All of such fantastically fantastical Fantasticness that at first listen you would not conceive that these are a bunch of church boys. In fact, they are one of the only true bands that speak of things like blood, death, war, mutilation, and separation from God within the genre. They are fans of bands like Behemoth and others of brutalness.
So being that today is a Fine Sunday.....please do your soul a favor and get this latest release, The Infinite Order, and prepare to be Destroyed.
Amen to that ya Mutha Preacha.
Sweetness!
