I have to give it up. I am not going to be able to have it.
But I can show you some some music I have, that I like.

Although I'll never listen to Five Finger Death Punch again,
I loved, 'American Capitalist.'
I'm so sorry FFDP killed themself.
So did Metallica, I loved almost all Metallica's music.
I also liked listning to megadeath, but megadeath is missing the thing I wanted.

I liked fleshkiller, music, but deleted it because they where blaspheming god.

Extol 'The Things I have found' BluePrint
Extol 'A Structure of Souls'
Extol 'Inferno'
Extol 'Undecieved'
Slaves Wage, 'Doom'- This one is slow to hit you, which I don't like.
Extol 'Blood red cover'

Right now slaves wage sounds too slow and weak for me. I would rather listen to extol.

What I mean by rich, is in the instruments, not the vocals. I like extol's vocals.

I don't have all of extol's albums yet.

I don't like slow things, like,
Extol 'Abandoned'

Given the examples you listed in your next to the last post, I'm going to make a statement which may or may not be correct, but there's a high enough probability for me to make the statement anyway.

It is possible that you are getting the wrong thing from the music that does fit what you are looking for. In my musical experience, and I do have a lot of experience with a lot of different styles of music, the emotion expressed in the songs you listed is anger, chaos, rage. This is detrimental.

The more you rely on this kind of music for catharsis, the worse you will feel and the more you will need to rely on this kind of music.

And of course, you will not find much of Christian music in any style which meets what you are looking for. It is directly antithetical to the entire spirit of Christianity, which is why Christian bands that try to imitate this style keep sounding incredibly lame and hokey. They try to copy the style without the spirit, or they tried to copy the spirit and it directly conflicts with God's Spirit, so it never does sound right. I don't think you will find any Christian music that meets what you want.

I have some really heavy sounding music in my collection. The closest I can recommend is Sent By Ravens. I don't think you will find what you are looking for there, but you can try them. It's worth a shot, as YouTube videos are free to watch.

I will check them out. Yes, I think your right Lynx. I need to repent from it then, because it's drawing me into a problem. I really will be hurting then. And that's what I am going to do, abandoned it like drugs. I will just listen to some extol and slaves wages. Maybe i'll even get some Gospel music, hymns.

I need to pickup the violin and play that instead. Make my own music, my own notes. The violin might agree with the spirit of God.
Slaves wages only had two albums? 'Heaven or Hell', 'Wisdom's call'?.

I love a sound of a violin. I have a 6,000 USD Mercel Deloget, but haven't really learned how to play one. I need someone to stick a bridge on it.

yes well, Now I think extol is hurting me. The only band I like is Slaves Wage. Why? For one reason I know slaves wage is true. But that's it. There is nobody else. I don't believe in Extol anymore.

Because of what you said I am starting to find out I don't like heavy metal anymore. Not now I know that.

I don't care for heavymetal anymore. Sometime I had forgotten about was organ music. I LOVE hearing the organ, it's so powerful and full of color.
I am about to make an order for Johanna Bach Complete Organ Music CD.

I heard it, it was in awaken album.

But I am very happy with the organ now. It's just what I wanted. Except, I want to get one. I am trying to get a reed pump organ right now. Someone is selling it for $100.00

You Think you heard it, but it actually read all the lyrics. Chances are you misheard it.

Or... You could just load organ one in a computer and play that.


It cycles through different presets to demonstrate the range of sounds it can make, so give it a few seconds if you don't like the first sound.

Load it in a VST player, Play it with a MIDI keyboard or click the notes in the grid with your mouse, connect your computer to the biggest speaker you can find and blast to your heart's content.

Maybe I'll look at it. Is that for linux? I have been trying to figure out how to buy an organ. What i want is to pay and have a pipe organ installed in my living room. But right now I don't have a budget for it. I can't get a pipe organ either. So I have looked at used electric organs. I can get one of those, but I deciding if I should wait until income tax return.

Yeah, I explored making one myself. It would cost me thousands in material.

It's a virtual instrument. Specifically a VSTi. It's a plug-in that you load in a digital audio workstation, a program you use for making music.

Or if you don't want to use a whole digital audio workstation, there are more simple programs that will just load the organ instrument and play it in real time, with no record function. VSThost and cantabile light come to mind. They are both free.

thanks for telling me what I was doing Lynx. I have been feeling better now that I stopped with the heavy metal. I still love heavy Metal though. sorry I trashed my extol and slaves wage cd's. I would like them all back again.
I will not be getting an organ. I love the organ and would love to learn it. But I am not going to. I am going to turn to my violin instead.
I have been going through mood swings lately. I think it's part of my deliverance with Jesus. that, plus I suffer from Bipolar.
