Sneap forumers bands you dig

I agree with you, it's a strange thing. At least in the case of my band, we never really sat down or put any thought at all into whether it would be more or less appropriate to call ourselves a "Christian band"...it just kind of made sense to "admit" it. We obviously care just as much about the musical side of things as any secular band does; I think whenever any band lets something get in the way of the music, then the quality of the band will start to suffer. Anyway, I've thought about your question a bit, and I think the best answer I can give you (in my case) is this: if we don't outwardly admit to being a "Christian band", people are going to read/hear the lyrics and notice it anyway, so it's then inevitable that we would get the question "Are you guys a Christian band?" all the time...if we then say "no", then it seems like we're trying to hide it or are somehow being strangely touchy about it. It also seems like we would then have to define what our opinion of a "Christian band" actually is, and then somehow figure out a way to explain why we're Christians in a band, who write about things from our Christian worldview, but are still somehow not a "Christian band". It just seems to me like it would become needlessly more complicated trying to say "no", than just coming out and accepting it if people want to call us Christian. The bottom line, is that it doesn't bother me to be called a "Christian band", because I'm just as serious about music and songwriting excellence as everybody else is, and the music itself is how we're going to be primarily judged by music listeners.

I guess it's also kind of fun to help break the stereotype that all "Christian metal" sucks :lol:

Hopefully I've answered your question well!

No worries man; you don't need to justify yourselves to a chump like me! It was just a strange thing to see on a metal forum, and I was surprised.

Hi guys,

i'm not sure if someone has posted that kind of thread before... sorry if it has been done before...

So as the title says, this thread is about you telling which bands involving Sneapsters you dig.

I know Black Neon Bob's TOXIC GRIND MACHINE is pretty popular around here (not my thing though), but i'd like to hear about other Sneapsters-involving bands (apart from SABBAT, CLAWFINGER and all the bands James Murphy has played in of course :) ) that you guys like.

Glad to hear that you like it, although that demo is getting pretty damn old now! I'm recording our new (and final) album right now, we got the sickest old-school swedish DM guitar sound going on. I'll post it when it's done.
 
At least not Heino :lol:

Oh and since others are shameless, here's my two bands:

Vortech - http://www.myspace.com/vortechmetal (Industrial Death Metal / Cybertech Metal)

Relativity - http://www.myspace.com/relativitygrind (Grindcore / Sludge)

In Vortech, I do everything myself (instruments, mixing, artwork, website, etc) except for lead vocals. In Relativity, I play the guitar while the drummer does most of the mixes.
 
There is a lot of talented dudes on here, so many of you get great tones and have cool projects/bands... I was really impressed by Fuge's stuff a while back. Although I know a lot of guys on here are more solo projects (i.e not a 'Band' as such - not that there's anything wrong with that!)

If I had to go for one it would be Sylosis though, they've done the british metal scene proud of late.



Surprised no-one's mentioned Clipping Death or Sabbat! So I guess I will :D
