Description

Ephesians 6:10-17...  10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armour of God,so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.13 Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 
A drawing my sister requested, this is to emphasize and to state that the Lord is our strength and safety.

I LOVE SKILLET TO THE CORE.

Yeah I like that one too

I actually found out a kinda bad thing about them tho... o-O They say 'bastard' in their song Cross to Bear...
In context: "NOT ONE OF YOUR BASTARDS HAS A CROSS TO BEAR!"
They're pretty edgy for a Christian band...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Stephs77 In reply to Metalhead-777 [2014-11-27 06:18:30 +0000 UTC]

Indeed they are... but if they weren't they wouldn't be unique..... If you look at all the hard core metal Christian bands... they have to be edgy to make it... Because compared to "mainstream" metal, they don't have that much exposure... But that's what also makes them epic when they are successful  

I think its a bold move when they use the word 'bastard'.... it shows that they are calling out all those who think they are sinless and "perfect"... just my point of view

THEY'RE AWESOME!! They're Christian metalcore (btw all of my music is Christian, so don't worry any recommendation I give will be Christian XD)
Try their song 'The Rise' IT'S AMAZING! www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhna6b…
Lyrics: www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/ohslee…

I especially love them because the band name comes from Ephesians 5:14 - for it is the light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

I figured all your music is Christian... Which is awesome!!!    

I love this band... they bring something very unique to Christian music as whole!!! and what their name means or comes from is just epic!!!!
Just listened to their song Heavy Hand... its just as amazing ... Thank you for sharing them

I must say you are one of the very few people I have conversed with about Christian metal and actually like it for the passion in the music... where as most people look at it strange and have a perception that Christian music should be.... Boring-ish... you know, they think every song should bring you to tears....

Metalhead-777 In reply to Stephs77 [2014-11-28 20:31:19 +0000 UTC]

I just believe that Christian music should have some kind of Christian meaning.
It doesn't ALL have to be hymns or some slow sad song...

I mean I LOVE Christian hard rock and metal(core)

I don't even care what the bands look like, just as long as they have a good positive message from Christ.

I mean look at Skillet.
Everyone of them has a tattoo, they pretty much ALL wear black at their shows, John has a nose-piercing, etc.
Yet I went to one of their shows back in March and in between songs he was talking and he said "I believe in the one and only Lord and his name is JESUS CHRIST!"

Stephs77 In reply to Metalhead-777 [2014-11-29 06:43:38 +0000 UTC]

I agree 100%... and looking at Skillet... they are one of the most known Christian bands... and where ever they go they uplift the Lords name 100%... They don't care if people like them or not... they are doing what they love for the one who loved them first !!! and that makes them even more awesome!!!....

But you do get those people who judge how the bands look before even trying to understand what their music about... hehehe the funniest thing is when you play them a song of a band they claim to not like because their look.... and they are like wow like the band and song hahahaha and then you're like ha told you... they are awesome

Yea that's true... Basically. xD

Look at August Burns Red. xD All their songs are screamo yet 'Count It All As Lost' is based off about 4 bible verses XD

lol I lso have a 'My Savoir is tougher than nails' shirt with the cross made of nails

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE DISCIPLE... I love their songs Game On, O God Save Us All, Outlaws, R.I.P., and Radical
I especially love the part of Radical when they're like 'Not just my mouth, but let my hands speak the glory of God' and then they go back into the song with 'TIL THE DAY I DIE!'
Even Game on is some modest screaming and yet the song is about spiritual warfare

ALSO: Weird thing I found out that some of the lyrics of 'From Zion' by For Today are 'O COME EMMANUEL!' in the background.
And For Today did a cover of the classic hymn 'O Come O Come Emmanuel'

AAAHHHHHH even more epic!!!!!!!! 

AAAAHHH those are epic songs of Disciple... but to add to that already decent list... Romance me, Invisible, Eternity, Unstoppable!!! I think i missed a few though.... I love that part!!! But Game on is an awesome song!!! and very powerful!!

I did not know that.... the song from For Today..... I'm going to listen to it a bit more carefully now

And then you get Thousand Foot Krutch,.... Their song  "The end is where we begin" must be one of their most epic songs.... pure to the words... they go to every aspect of the most common everyday sins and just say that at the end when you finally give up your sins you begin an awesome life!!!!!

I'm sorry for making so many song suggestions but I'm listening to Provision by August Burns Red... And it has a GREAT Christian meaning...
Some of the lyrics just "scream" (lolz) how much we need God:

I'm sick
I need help
I need sight
I need You
And I'm not getting any better

I love the music for the message and the music.
