This is annoying... why does everyone bash contemporary christian music??? If the lyrics are glorifying God.. That's all that matters!! Get out of tradition ansd stop putting limits on God!! God can use ANY genre of music to got His message across!! I love Christian Metal.. Becoming the Archetype is my favorite.. Their music puts me in spirit of worship.. Many of thier songs talk about the absolute power of God. How dare you tell ANYONE how to worship God!! That's a control spirit.. and i rebuke that!

Amen! I actually play Christian metal (as well as other genre's of Christian music), It is the message that counts, not the instruments that are used to make it.

Not praising god -_- Using heavy metal to do it, it goes against nature.
Sorry. But using heavy metal to praise God is not against Nature. It might be against your nature. But people listen to it because they like it. It would be better for them to listen to Godly metal than the worlds metal.

Only if they believe in god ?
I know people who came to God listening to Christian metal. Is their salvation null and void because as my father used to say "satan's instruments" brought them to Christ?

It's not man's place to judge how others worship God-it's for God, not those around us :) I believe that any genre/sound/style of music can be used to glorify Him. I used to play for a few jazz groups that played to worship God. It was great! If metal is your thing and that's how you worship, then there is nothing wrong with that! :D

Excuse me? Where in the bible does it say that using metal to praise God goes against nature? I WILL tell you what the bible says: it says He can use a ROCK to bring Him praise and glory, so if God can use a rock, He can sure use metal. Just because you don't personally like metal does not mean it can't be used... Christ used metal in my life to teach me who He was... So don't ever sit there and say He can't use it.

How dare you put a limit on the power of God.

WAKE UP BROTHER. WHEN GOD TAKES YOU THROUGH SANTIFICATION , YOU WILL KNOW THEN ITS OF THE DEVIL.FOR NOW , ENJOY

Can anyone show me how these lyrics do not God God glory, praise and worship?

And this is how it feels when I ignore the words you spoke to me
And this is where I lose myself when I keep running away from you
And this is who I am when, when I don't know myself anymore
And this is what I choose when it's all left up to me

Breathe your life into me, I can feel you
I'm falling, falling faster
Breathe your life into me, I still need you
I'm falling, falling

Breathe into me
Breathe into me

And this is how it looks when I am standing on the edge
And this is how I break apart when I finally hit the ground
And this is how it hurts when I pretend I don't feel any pain
And this is how I disappear when I throw myself away

Breathe your life into me, I can feel you
I'm falling, falling faster
Breathe your life into me, I still need you
I'm falling, falling

Breathe into me
Breathe into me
Breathe into me
Breathe into me

Breathe your life into me, I can feel you
I'm falling, falling faster
Breathe your life into me, I still need you
I'm falling, falling, breathe into me

Breathe your life into me
I'm falling, falling faster
Breathe your life into me
Falling, falling, falling

Breathe into me
Breathe into me
Breathe into me
Breathe into me, breathe

How dare you question someone's spiritual state? You are NOT the judge of those around you. God is the one that we are to answer to, not you. Check yourself and your motivations behind your actions and ask yourself if you're glorifying God.
"Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear." - Ephesians 4:29

Ok here's my 2 cents. For most of my life I was not a christian. I love heavy metal music. I'm a drummer and love to play heavy metal music on my drums. I also have an appreciation for other types of music including jazz and classical. I think heavy metal christian music is ok as long as it truly expresses praise to God and is not just a vehicle for a band to show off and have themselves be the focus of attention.

I think any Musical style is ok aslong as it Glorifies God!

I'm an old Metaler lol, well, havent got the hair now, its all gone (nearly lol). Pop music has been used as a vehicle for evil just as much as metal, so has Jazz and classical? please remember this before bashing styles of music.

I'm a musician myself (not a very good one lol) but Ive played metal, country,blues, pop you name it, but now I just play now and again at my church glorifiying God with differing styles. and brothers and sisters in Christ, Glorifying God is what it is all about.

Just to qualify that, I don't think , metal etc are anygood for a sunday service, it should be music that all can like and all can 'Sing' to.

Blessings

The earth is shaking
Because of His wrath
The mountains tremble
At the sound of His voice
He pulls down the sky
To crush His enemies
He descends upon them with fire
He is clothed in greatness
His voice resounds throughout the earth
His vengeance no longer is contained
His light destroys the darkness
If He speaks the earth will crumble
If He moves the universe will fall
He is clothed in greatness
His voice resounds throughout the earth
With the valleys of the seas exposed
And the surface of the earth laid bare
He reached down into the void
HE REACHED DOWN AND TOOK HOLD OF ME!
HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH!

ok ... there is no way you can say these lyrics dont glorify God!!
