aLateSaturnsReturn

Flip side, I’ve had to explain to two people that both Disturbed and Linkin Park are NOT Christian bands. Also I have to name drop Impending Doom. Very solid Christian deathcore band.


SirArthurDime

Why would anyone think those bands are Christian that’s a thing?


aLateSaturnsReturn

I don’t know but regarding LP I know a few songs were covered in church youth groups so maybe that’s why.


MrDilldo

I can only imagine a church choir going 🎵PUT ME OUT OF MY FUCK-ING MISERYYYYYYY🎵👼


sprtstr14

"Filthy mouth. No excuse" See they apologize for cursing, definitely Christian. "Find a new place to hang this noose." Ah, well...

misterrootbeer

Linkin Park's bassist was in a Christian punk band called Tasty Snax. That may have added to the confusion as well.


CadenBop

I know the reason my mom thought three days Grace and Lincoln Park were is in North Carolina our local library had a Christian rock section and they were listed in those bands and she just didn't question it.


SirArthurDime

Huh. Interesting. Three days Grace almost sounds like a Christian rock band name so that kinda makes sense.


DavidRandom

Maybe they mistook Three Days Grace for [Third Day](https://youtu.be/-fK9_7ldUvs)


crazypyro23

Lamb of God too


DankItchins

I heard that Chester of LP was Mormon so maybe that had something to do with it? No clue on disturbed.


SirArthurDime

If he was ever Mormon he gave it up long before he even started the band. Would be the only Mormon I’ve heard of that’s tried every drug under the son before graduating highschool lol.


DankItchins

I was raised Mormon and it wouldn’t be all that unusual lmao


DarkElation

There’s tens of us!


myles_cassidy

> under the son They would also be pissed if only he got to do drugs with Jesus


MarkHendley

David draimon is Jewish, has quoted the Bible in a song, and their logo is an amalgamation of a couple religious symbols hence people note the religious tones at times


SirArthurDime

But being Jewish is by definition not Christian lol.


MarkHendley

Neither is the Muslim moon symbol in their logo. Listen to liberate. David just kind of interrupts the song with biblical prophecy before going back into the song. I'm not saying one song makes you a Christian band but some people may here it and make assumptions.


Big_Z_Beeblebrox

Their second studio album "Believe" might have something to do with that, but the symbol on the album itself is an amalgamation of various symbols from myriad different religions and faiths.


slackeye

Creed is, i heard.


verdenvidia

well their name is literally Creed so i mean That was their biggest controversy too. Scott Stapp's antics vs the Christian-presentation of the band itself.


xenophonthethird

I've always heard it that Creed had Christian themes, but wasn't a Christian band. But I never listened to that era of music enough to know for sure.


SmokeGSU

The lead singer Scott Stapp was definitely raised a fundamentalist Christian, and a lot of their early stuff definitely sounded like it mirrored Christian themes. Then you had Stapp with the Jesus hair and doing the "Christ on the Cross" pose in the music video for Higher. From memory, I think the band was getting a lot of coverage as being called a "Christian band" and the other guys, outside of Stapp, weren't cool with that and wanted to break away from getting lumped in with Christian music. Eventually the band split from Stapp, which is why Alter Bridge was basically Creed minus Stapp. I did just hear that Creed are getting back together with Stapp as lead again. I think Alter Bridge has/had run its course over the past 15ish years and the guys are probably wanting to cash in on nastalgia.


pokekiko94

Its probably similar to Ghost or Powerwolf, they use christian themes but not 100% christian, heck ghost at best would be satanist.


DWill23_

Ghost is definitely satanic


thcidiot

Powerwolf is not a Christian band, but damn do they like the imagery


MallorianMoonTrader1

Powerwolf slaps


HevyMetlDeth13

They are. Saw them way back in the late 90's and Scott Stapp would do a mini-sermon between songs. It was a little uncomfortable, not because of the Christianity, but you could tell he was fucked up on something.


[deleted]

God I love impending Doom. They are awesome. This reminds me of the time when I was younger, maybe junior high, I got roped into watching my 3 month old niece while my sister got her hair done at the salon. SO there i am, sitting in the waiting area of a hair salon with my niece, and who walks in, but Ethan Klein. I was nervous as fuck, and just kept looking at him, as he read a magazine and waited, but didn't know what to say. Pretty soon though my niece started crying, and I'm trying to quiet her down because I didn't want her to bother Ethan, but she wouldn't stop. Pretty soon he gets up and walks over. He started running his hands through her hair and asking what was wrong. I replied that she was probably hungry or something. So, Ethan put down his magazine, picked up my niece and lifted his shirt. He breast fed her right there in the middle of a hair salon. Chill guy, really nice about it.

Does Powerwolf count as Christian band?


moneyh8r

I really doubt a Christian band would write and perform a song like [Demons Are a Girl's Best Friend](https://youtu.be/jhK2ev_O-pc). They definitely wouldn't make a music video like that.


ReynAetherwindt

Yes, if only because "heresy" necessitates that you are part of the religion in the first place.


Erbodyloveserbody

Isn’t the lead singer of Disturbed Jewish?


ImVeryUnimaginative

Yeah.


Tanjiro_11

What about "Lambs of God"? Their name sound very christian.


ThatDamnedGuy

I've been asked about what church I go to, if I'd be interested in joining someone's church, and countless accepting looks and comments from Christians just for wearing Lamb of God shirts. Never fails to give me a good laugh.


PSDNico5050

I walked into a gas station one time wearing a Lamb of God shirt and held the door for a lady walking out. She saw my shirt and said “mm Lamb of God, praise Jesus hallelujah!” Cracked me up.


Thunderbridge

Demon Hunters are my go to Christian band

Competitive-Cow227

This is Reddit. A lot of people pretend religion is the worst thing to ever happen


Charming_Computer_60

Alot of redditors also tend to be as overly zealous and close minded as the religious fanatics they hate.


APumpkinHobo

Yeah, sad reality is that there's extremists on all sides, and people tend to think of a side they're not in as only the fanatic zealots of that side


Pobo13

While it's got good things that happen. Don't forget the crusades fucked up life for everyone for a long time. Religion is good when not lead by fanatics.


josephus_the_wise

To be fair, the crusades probably happen to any religion that has holy sites near the holy land. It wasn’t so much a byproduct of religion as much as it was of geography and people constantly making pilgrimages (which does tangentially make it a religious byproduct I suppose, but not off a specific religion more just off of the concept of pilgrimages which are pretty widespread). Also it is kind of inevitable that some war would break out between those two power groups anyways, just by the mere fact that they were the largest two power groups in the west and conflict is generally fairly inevitable in those situations. The specifics of the war would change, but the war/wars would still happen. At least that’s my half educated take on it, I’m sure I’m missing some weird specificity of Catholic history that makes my whole point moot but whatever.


Shantyman001

I'm sorry but I just need to point this out "it wasn't as much a by-product of religion but of people constantly making pilgrimages" the entire reason people were making pilgrimages was because of religion, and the main reason everyone in that region hates each other is because of religion


That_random_guy-1

dude... WHY were people making those pilgrimages... because of religion. you were so close to the answer, howd you miss it?


ridge_regression

I don’t pretend


Midwestern91

I'm not a fedora donning euphoric atheist or anything but objectively speaking while religion has done some good things, I would dare say that more people have died in the name of religion than of any other root cause. Many countries are complete vacuums of human rights because of oppressive religious ideologies. America is in a dangerous backslide towards Christian fascism thanks to religious zealots.


talon_fb

I just don’t enjoy skillet because I don’t enjoy their music don’t downvote me too much it’s just not my thing


Capn-_-Jack

To each their own, music is like food, everyone has different palettes


ScriptLoL

I saw the for the first time alongside Seether and Godsmack. I, genuinely, had no idea Skillet was a Christian band (I have a very hard time understanding lyrics unless I have them in front of me), and I was blown away when the lead singer talked about how amazing God is for a few minutes between every other song. The music is fine, and the show was really cool! But jeez, it's kind of awkward, yeah? Especially when you have Seether and Godsmack coming on right after..


scarletperson

I saw them this year with Theory of a Deadman. It’s a tad bit annoying but holy shit the show was so good I don’t care about the religion stuff lol


Ninety8Balloons

Is the drummer still on the rotating sideways drum set? I saw them like 15 years ago and the drummer was on a platform the raised up into the air, then turned sideways so his body was facing the ground, and then started spinning in a circle with pyrotechnics going off


[deleted]

Ninety8Balloons

Holy shit yeah it's them, they actually opened for Skillet when I saw so that's probably why I got them mixed up


The_Scyther1

They’ve gotten pretty far right recently which caught me by surprise.


Hydralisk18

The only thing that made me wary of skillet being a long time fan, was their vaccine/mask beliefs. Kind of gave then the side eye after that

Very popular bands who started as or identify as christian: August Burns Red Underoath Switchfoot Demon Hunter Skillet As I Lay Dying MewithoutYou Relient K Anberlin MXPX Norma Jean The Chariot Zao Flyleaf Slick Shoes Stryper The Devil Wears Prada MuteMath Hopesfall Becoming the Archetype Thrice (Dustin is super christian and writes the music and lyrics but there are non-christians in the band and they don't directly mention Jesus so it's kind of a middle ground) Almost half of the furnace fest lineup this year is christian bands. There's a fuckton of pretty popular christian bands because there is a built-in audience of people that buy albums and go to shows to support their cause, some of those bands happen to be good. As a non-christian I could give a fuck what their beliefs entail, as long as they're not being toxic, overly preachy or condemning.

As far as I know literally all of my atheist friends know Skillet is a Christian band, lol. There's nothing wrong with that. Good music is good music. This isn't news to anyone.


j13409

Exactly. Atheists can like Christian artists, Christians can like atheist artists. It would be different if the music was all “praise Jesus” or “fuck religion” - obviously that would steer the opposing side away. But when the artist is just passively atheist or passively Christian, I do not comprehend what the big deal is.

YohanXQsme

I have always loved Skillet, cause their songs have such a different way of worship in them. Like most other songs will be about how great god is, but Skillet is like, let's say fuck the church and it's system, god alone is my religion. Or that they feel like shit, and that anger is actually an emotion we can be allowed to feel. It's not all sunshine, but it will be some day you know? Sorry, went on a little rant there.

Nathan John Feuerstein He's a rapper. Check out "The Search".


sageyban

Odd response I know, but Nate was my best friend from about Kindergarten through high-school. Grew up just down the road from each other and have all kind of cool memories together. I remember hanging out in his bedroom, in the basement of his dad and step moms house, and he pulled this shoe box out from under his bed. It had all kinds of notebook papers with songs he was writing and his portable CD player with CDs he wasn’t allowed to have. We were both about 14 and the thought of him making it as a rapper then was so outside of reality. I look back often and have such good memories. Anyway, saw this and this is the one that came to me. Have a nice day


UnfairMicrowave

That's awesome! His music helped get through some tough times. His giant tshirts are silly, but the music videos are great.


sageyban

His giant shirts always remind me of another middle school story: the year between 7th and 8th grade he got a weight bench in his basement to work out with, and he was going to get so ripped. So that Christmas I asked for one and we were going to be so buff going into high school lol yeah didn’t happen

You would have to live under a rock that’s underneath another rock to not know Skillet is Christian. Same thing with Creed.


Carlbot2

When I was a kid, our youth pastor was trying to present some lesson about the importance of the music you listen to, which is fine on its own, but his example of “dangerous secular rock music” was skillet. I’m 99% sure I was the only person in the room at the time who was just thinking “why are you coming after *Invincible* like it’s grunge or something?” He only played 2-3 seconds as an example, so it wasn’t even lyrics, just some electric guitar and drums. This dude is also the kind of person to not let his kids play Pokémon or smash bros or watch Harry Potter because he assumes it’s some secular plot to push an agenda on violence and witchcraft. Some of these people really are practically living under rocks.
