Thanks Jansz.
This is the first it comes up with, fourteen days into my time here, for some reason, with a kind of silly post in a thread about Christian Metal.

Surely the NWOBHM gave rise to a LOT of black/satanic/devil type bands, if you go just by lyrics and artwork? Iron Maiden, THE number one propenent of the NWOBHM, came up with the album "The Number of the Beast". Then there was Black Sabbath, Venom, Demon, Mercyful Fate ... the list goes on.

I THINK what you mean, maybe, is that in recent times the MOOD of HM has gotten very doomy, gloomy and bishroomie (sorry!) , with a lot of bands focussing on the darker areas of life, but then the metal we knew in our youth (well, I did in mine) has now fragmented into so many different sub-genres --- doom, death, thrash, power, black, viking... again, the list goes on.

There are a lot of really good Heavy Metal bands still making "upbeat" music, like Dragonforce, Hammerfall etc, and of course Maiden are still around. I wouldn't say it's ALL dark...

And then, if you want the other end of the scale, I know of at least one decent Christian Metal band who kick ass as good as, if not better than, many of the acts around today. Check out Narnia's "Long live the king", and see what I mean!

However I found this a few posts above it, which I thought was worth reposting...

i will support the evil path of metal
but never will get lost in it. when u think about good bands and the styles they have then u see what is more important than to have a 666 patch...or turned-crosses.
if someone come around with his cross thinking that he is the best
i turn his sign and mock him. coz he isnt. all men are fools.
that's it.
satanism lives because of christianity and if christians/religion ****s off
then satan needs no attention.
show me worthfull things and i will beware them.
at the moment live is more like metal.evil.^^
and remember metal is art. not the real life. its a kind of symbolic
way to paint live. life is mercyless; metal too.

And how weird that then this mighty (ahem) power metal band got talked about so much in that thread?

The last true metal band in my opinion is Dragen Force.
I also like Blood Good, Stryper, Dragon Force, Demon Hunter, Avenged Seven Fold, Atryu, and much more.

djchameleon · 03-22-2023, 01:30 AM

Right Track, Ethan, Adiddas, and so many others. I always wonder how their lives are going.

I keep in touch with Ethan, he’s in a touring band and is generally living his best gothic life <3
