Is Nevermore a christian band?

[metalive]

Hi.
I just wanted to know if Nevermore is a christian band. It would be kinda nice 'cause I am, and I'm a fan of Nevermore.

Thank you.

sorry, they all worship satan.

 

[DreamNeonBlack]

ummmmm yeah, they just happen to be a christian band.

totally devoted and all that jazz. :Smug:

Just so you possibly can't get the wrong idea, NO. I don't think a christian band would write lyrics like in Create The Infinite...although, I read an interview where Warren said something along something happening to the energy in a human's body after death and therefore there being some sort of an afterlife...which would reflect The Sorrowed Man's lyrics a bit I guess. So maybe he believes in afterlife, but I don't think he's (they are) a very religious person...

Warrel himself said in the IRC chat that he is agnostic, he also said that the perfect stance on religion is to worship whatever you want just DO NOT become fanatical and shove your religion down people's throats.

Hope that helps metalive.

i have no problem with bands with members who are christian, but i hate the so called "christian bands"... that label just annoys me for some reason

 

[Super Mahrio]

Good job GroundXero..took the words right out of my mouth...

"I read an interview where Warren said"

Sapp?

If Nevermore was a christian band and trying to "spread the word" I wouldn't give them the time of day. Actually I find the whole concept of "christian metal" appalling. But that's just me.

@TheFourthHorseman: I would've expected better from one of my countrymen. The letters 'L' and 'N' are not that close in a qwerty-keyboard so I will rule out a pure typo.

If Nevermore was a Christian band and trying to "spread the word," then they would be doing a piss poor job.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

many so called "christian metal" or "white metal bands" are great
Saviour Machine, Veni Domine, Trouble ..
even Candlemass and Solitude Aeturnus had this kind of lyrics

i agree....

 

[PlatypusJesus]

Saviour Machine is very good indeed.

 

[Kvlt Wench]

Heh, someone actually asked me if Nevermore was a christian band.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

Listen to Mayhem, they're a christian band.

 

[Kvlt Wench]

Fuck Mayhem. I don't want any of that Christian bullshit.

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

Hah sorry *Warrel*

I'm such a spelling whore myself...weird I didn't notice it. I guess it's more or less a short circuit in the brain department rather than a typo.

Btw some_dude, I don't think the line in Godmoney really says anything about Warrel's beliefs, just his dislike for religion. But as pointed out, he's not much of a believer obviously.

The lyrics on The Sorrowed Man are beautiful, though...

 

[Dead_Lioness]

Listen to Mayhem, they're a christian band.

Also: Burzum.
Rumors say he was actually a priest.
