Going to metal-archives.com, when it works anyway, is always interesting.
Searching for "Christ" in the band name section gets a lot of results. Four different Antichrists. Rotting Christ. Behead Christ. Christ Skinner, Christ Denied, etc etc. You get the idea. Christfight. hahaha.
Album titles, searching for "Christ":
Spit In The Face Of Christ, 666 Antichristian Division, Death To Christianity, etc etc. 372 matches, although I'm sure there are plenty of neutral or pro-Christ songs in there. But there are loads and loads of anti-Christian album titles, and that's just for searching for the specific word "Christ".
Song titles, searching for "Christ":
2408 matches. Holy shit. I'll leave it up ot you to research how many of those are pro or con for Christ.
Band names, searching for "Mohammed", "Muhammed", "Islam", or "Muslim":
One match. Just one. A NSBM band called Muslimcorpse.
Album titles, searching for "Mohammed", "Muhammed", "Islam", or "Muslim":
Zero matches.
Song titles, searching for "Mohammed", "Muhammed", "Islam", or "Muslim":
25 results. Only five if we are just looking for "Mohammed". Including this gem by Lanz:Allah was a faggot and got fucked by his Mohammed.
Answer the following questions:
1- Do you believe that your religion is a choice you make?
2. Do heavy metal bands target Christianity because they mean it, or just because they can?
3. Do you think the criticisms usually leveled at Christianity by heavy metal bands also apply to Islam?
4. Given current world events and how they are affecting especially metal-prolific Scandinavian countries, do you expect more anti-Islam themed band names, album names, and song titles?
5. Would an anti-Islam band face more difficulties establishing and promoting itself than an anti-Christian band would? Why?
6. Do you think there would be different consequences for musicians being openly anti-Islam as opposed to being anti-Christian? Why?
7. Do you think Century Media or The End Records would sign and release albums by a band called Rotting Mohammed?
8. Do these questions make you uncomfortable?
9. Do your answers to these questions make you uncomfortable?
