A Christian Death Metal Band

You decide what you think about this one!  Metanoia is an overtly Christian Death Metal band from Australia.  Their music is based entirely on biblical themes.

Death Metal is an extreme subgenre of heavy metal music in which the usual focus is violence, occultism, necrophilia, mutilation, and hatred of religion. The names of several Death Metal bands will give you an idea: Entombed, Pestilence, My Dying Breed, Pig Destroyer, Impaled Nazarene, Napalm Death, Salt the Wound, Sarcofago, Obituary, and Cannibal Corpse.  The music is full of growls, roars, grunts, minor keys, atonality, numerous abrupt tempo changes, and what is called blast beat drumming.  Metanoia takes the musical form and infuses it with intentionally Christian meaning.






Tomorrow's post will be about the biblical word, metanoia.
