Christian Rock: Suggestions?
- Thread starter Chad

chad
i recently purchased a cd by the ragamuffin band - prayers of a ragamuffin
having had a youth based on such musical taste as acdc, iron maiden, saxon etc etc infact it was through listening to iron maiden that the good Lord found a way to talk to me that i was able to hear; i now thank Him for this with every breathe i take
so while the ragamuffin band may not have the guitar licks of satriani or slash it is based on rock and it is praise and it has had me worshipping. i would therefore recommend giving them a try
God bless

A few suggestions for Chad
Hi Chad,
It is difficult to try to classify music and everyone's tastes are different, for sure.
I might suggest if you like guitar work that you check out something by Phil Keaggy whom it was said (in a magazine quote) by Jimmy Hendrix when asked how does it feel to be the world's greatest guitarist "I don't know, why don't you ask Phil Keaggy?" This brother is missing a finger or two on his strumming hand (actually an advantage) but can play right up there with the best of them. He has a lot of albums from the 1970's til today, so try some of each and see if anything is in your style. He even has instrumental albums.
Lifehouse has some good adrenaline, especially in their first album "No Name Face". (Try "Quasimodo" for example on that album)
Audio Adrenaline has some rocking tunes besides their praise stuff.
If you like old school stuff like Guns & Roses, you might try earlier Matthew Ward (songs like "I'm Gonna Praise You Til the Walls Fall Down" or some of Kerry Livgren's (formerly of the band Kansas) work with the band A.D. - he is a first rate guitarist/keyboardist and songwriter.
Just some thoughts. Maybe you can let me know if any of them hits you.
There is also the musical option of someone like Eric Johnson "Ah Via Musicom" which is highly instrumental but with a few songs with lyrics. The guy is also a guitar virtuoso (of the rock variety) but the album is from 1989.
Your brother in Christ,
Lab

Hey Chad-
Check out East West. They are too hard for me to listen to, but my brother listens to them a lot. Although, I do like one song of theirs..... She Cries.
Won't you come away with me tonight?
We can fly past the moon and the starlight,
It doesn't matter where you've been before,
On a night like this,
It doesn't matter where you've been before,
I'll love you like this,
Can't you see, I won't leave,
But you have to open your eyes.
Here I stand, Take my hand,
Let go of the fear that you hold.
Don't throw your pearls to the swine tonight,
Don't let them take your innocence,
Just remember the times that I held your hand and kept you close,
Remember the times I held you up and now.
I couldn't figure out where they got the don't throw your pearls to the swine tonight, until I heard it on 94.7-local radio station here. Jesus says it in Matthew 7:6 "Don't give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces." It was one of those moments like, oh! Now I get it! Those moments happen a lot for me though........ lol. Ok.... I'm done now. This isn't preaching time...... it's music time! Good luck with the music!

Chad said:So point is that I want to find Christian rock bands with that same strength and adrenaline as GNR's music. I'm all about adrenalized and energetic music.
And then, please pray that GOD will heal my ears so I can bang out loud some praiseful rock a billly notes
May every frequency that are the acoustics of this world be added unto your hearing, brother.
The album, Songs, by Rich Mullins is a rocking gift of GOD, all the power, triumph, and inspiration someone with a rock music soul could want. Some of his music is also rock-a-billy influenced - the album, Brother's Keeper.
(the exemplary engineering especially on Songs in analogue - my collection are cassettes - may help that harsh reception)

(I don't know what's with the odd double submit above) May as well make it three.
I'd only skimmed your thread, previously. Guns n Roses? "Welcome To The Jungle" sounded shred cool at the time, then too lightweight for me by the time extreme metal hit. I never have been able to grow out of the real gut heavy metal SOUND attraction, and hey, I may as well be your grandma in Christ. But when I was in my twenties I thought God invented heavy metal just to get me to stick around.
Later, there was Savatage, Rage Against the Machine, Puya and El Nino, and I won't mention a few of the others here or I'd get lynched. I was gratified to find Mullins satisfying when I was wondering how I could be a Christian and find the music too wimpy. You're right, the Christian hard rockers don't get the great clear sound. The harshness of inferior frequency distribution would be especially lousy to nearly deaf ears. And forget digital. It's missing the right harmonics for complete musicality, so the whole music media technology is a bummer for ear problems.
So anyway, put in ear plugs and work that guitar, man! Sometime. Today or tomorrow. With your song-writing - that was a major lyric I saw the other day posted in poetry - I'd stake confidence that what seems to be missing out there in Christian music would come from you. Maybe I'll get inspired to push through the physical pain and pick up sticks again. I did just a few years ago to play five years for a rocking praise and worship team, when great Almighty dropped that from heaven after I already thought I was through. Maybe GOD isn't through with me for drumming yet!

God bless you, Iamblessed.......oh, you are! That's your name!
I'm glad you ask this. Since few of us Christian oldsters like the sound of heavy metal, I have kept an ear to what is going on in this area of the secular arena. In my opinion, not only one's influences, but a particular musical individuality that comes from God gives our preference in music. Though the extremes of heavy rock lyric messages have become, in modern day, a terrible tool for the devil, I personally disagree that the music itself is culpable. Even so, ungodly influences are a peril, even for us with firm stand on Jesus Christ; I have had to learn to listen carefully for our Lord's direction as to when and how much I can be exposed to the pervasive ignorance that rules the genre.
Until this thread, I'd not heard that P.O.D. are no longer Christian. I own two of Payable On Death's compact disc releases, and can answer your question to the degree that I've followed P.O.D.'s whereabouts and heard radio interviews with the members. Early in their popularity, when they were getting acclaim from rock music fans and critics, the P.O.D. boys would state their faith in Jesus. As time passed, I noticed a change. They would speak of God and praying, but not Christ; this made me feel that these guys needed serious prayer for their faith. The last interview I heard from a member (over a year ago), he sounded weak and without conviction, confining his comments to the band, and no mention of God. This did not seem to come from media bleep, but an inherent falling away. P.O.D., when first playing for a popular annual metal festival, would talk about how they could be witnesses there. From my own having to get away from those spheres, because of the sapping of energy from massively being outnumbered by unbelievers, it is not hard to believe that P.O.D. have forsaken their genuine Christianity, even if they are not individually anti-God.
It is true that being physically in the heavy metal ranks can put very life and limb in peril. In part because we Christians ourselves have given up on rock music's extremes, seeing its proponents as shamelessly hardened agents of evil, this is one of the most forsaken mission fields in the world. Thanks you-all for the opportunity to make the statement, here.
Bless God!
Love in Christ,
To Christ
hmmm, how much worse is heavy metal than other styles of music. I simply submit to you here that people being trained in witchcraft are told that popular music, especially that targeted for teens and pre-teens, is hexed for maximum occultic effect. Why? My research into the occult has revealed to me that the "opening of one's mind to higher levels of consciousness" is absolutely critical to the development of that person to the higher levels of the occult. Ever hear of trance music? How about Techno? Dance? RNB? or POP as a whole. From personal experience, high ranking members of the Occult or Satanism in general are not very fond of heavy metal or rock and in fact are quite fond of more mellow styles, be it classical or Dance music, that which allows them to reach a higher state od consciousness, you will find this very prevalent in Astral Projection as a method of relaxing the body and mind and allowing the spirit to separate from its body. So what Im saying is that when thinking of music and Satan, dont underestimate his grip on the mainstream, as we all know Heavy Metal is not mainstream thus his efforts are well and truelly goaled on the majority first and foremost. Let me go into a bit more depth:
As any music expert will tell you, the beat, tone, cadence and arrangement of music affects human moods. Lyrics, or words, play only a minimal rôle. Even instrumental music can make you feel blue, moody and depressed, or zippy, peppy and upbeat. It can inspire you or drag you down.
Music can invite in demons -- as sorcerers, shamans and witchdoctors well know -- or drive them away. God's music, played on a harp by David, put demons to flight:
"Whenever an evil spirit came upon Saul, David would take his harp and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him" (1 Sam.16:23, Holy Order Translation).
In a double prophecy about Tyre and Satan, God tells us through the prophet Ezekiel that Lucifer, before his fall, was originally designed by God as a living, thinking, musical instrument (Ezek.28:13). Satan knows how to make music that can conquer men's minds -- he has been doing it throughout the ages and has been doing it to great effect in the 20th century.
And Satan's range is impressive. From violent rock music to soothing New Age music, the music of hell is upon the earth. Satan has trained up demon specialists in music who give music to their human followers. Some of the people who produce New Age music, for example, are not aware that demon spirits are secretly implanting this music in their minds. But many are aware and approve.
One particular demon named Koothoomi (also spelled "Kuthumi"), has appeared to a number of New Agers and given them music packaged in the pit. One New Age musician described a visitation by his hypnotic demon music instructor:
"From far away I heard the strains of an organ with which was mingled the sound of voices so pure and ethereal as to suggest the chanting of a celestial choir...The music was unlike any music I had heard before. It was subtle, yet melodious, sweet, yet devoid of all sentimental lusciousness; at one moment powerful and awe-awakening, at another soft and tender as the caress of an angel's hand. It was my brother Koothoomi playing on the pipes.
"Suddenly, a voice spoke out, 'Listen well, and remember for one day you will give such music to the world'" (David Tame, "The Secret Power of Music", pp.268, 270-1; emphasis added).
New Age music is designed to bring the listener into a peaceful and hypnotic trance state during which demons can easily enter the body and take possession. It has been called "electronic meditation". A number of the New Age instrumentals have hidden subliminal messages. These messages can reprogram or rescript your brain. As one of the best known New Age composers and musicians, Brother Charles, recently told Meditation magazine:
"I can open the doors of your (brain's) databanks...As you're listening, the rescripting process is happening automatically viâ subliminally recorded messages" (Ibid., p.21).
The dangers should be clear. This is a subtle form of brainwashing. New Age music -- and instrumental music at that -- is composed by demons who are trained and empowered by their Master to use this music to posses men's bodies. Subliminal messages imbedded in the music aid in this objective. New Age music can easily overwhelm the senses of young people and adults alike. Because it is more subtle and deceptive, it is even more harmful and deadly than any other form of music, including heavy metal.
Remember that the evil powers have a wide range of corrupting practices, from the obviously crude to that which is pure and beautiful. Pure and beautiful? Certainly. You only have to watch TV or films to see that beautiful stringed music, which is undoubtedly from God, is being used simultaneously during scenes where adultery and other immoralities are being committed. The effect is to render the viewer more susceptible to adultery. It is a clever perversion of the senses, using goodness as a weapon in the armory of evil. Be careful! You must analyse all things and become conscious of what is going on around you. All is not as it might seem to be.
The New Covenant Church of God screens music carefully and teaches its members how to discern heavenly music from satanic, and all the myriad shades inbetween. This is one of the functions of the Holy Order. Sad to say, much devilish music is employed in Christian churches today, and Christian youth, unaware of some of the subtle programming built in to secular as well as New Age music, are being slowly brainwashed. The results are typical -- rebelliousness and all the vices of sin.
Music can be harmful -- be sure you understand which kinds are and why.

Eclipse, I have to admit to being utterly baffled by what is apparently a response to my post about the mission field of heavy metal and P.O.D.. It seems in depth prayer is required before I know what in tarnation to completely answer you.
For now, I can say - 'analysis' and 'consciousness,' tricks of a music censorship trade, and a Holy Order that teaches the necessity for screening the sounds of variety in God's creation sound to me like the same scheme you are condemning. The one awareness I need is to constantly seek Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to direct my walk.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6)
Our Lord Jesus states,
"'The Helper, the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.'" (John14:26-27)
"'I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.'" (John 15:5)

I also grew up listening to heavy metal and have a broad colletcion of music by such bands as sepultura and slayer and of course metallica, i have also changed a lot of the music I listen to nowadays( life changes and such ) but my heart is still with hard crunch metal and I get the yen for it at times. I really like Creed because of the lyrics of some of their songs as well as the beat rocks.....ROCK ON BRO.
You brother in Christ
Robert
You brother in Christ

I listen...
I grew up picking the songs I liked based on what I was going through at that time emotionally, B I G MISTAKE.
Emotions will put sin at your door faster than Satan can tempt you. You are your own worst enemy.
I now listen to uplifting and scriptural songs only and this world and it's problems no matter how close they hit me at home can no longer bring me down. So the moral of this story is don't be your worst enemy but be your second best friend.

Christian heavy metal bands
I know this is an older post, but I have some bands/CDs for you, Chad. I come from the same era, apparently, and until recently was in a Christian rock band myself. Here are just a few of the bands I have come across through the years....
80's style Christian heavy metal bands: Whitecross (Hammer & Nail is a good CD); Stryper; REZ Band; Bride; Angelica (totally awesome guitarist- Dennis Cameron, kinda like Steve Vai); Guardian (older CDs, they eventually updated their style); Mastedon; Holy Soldier; Tamplin & Friends (An Axe to Grind)
Great 90's hard rock style bands: Stavesacre; Leaderdogs for the Blind (Lemonade is a great CD); Pillar; Glisten; Common Children (Skywire is a great CD)
A lot of these are near impossible to find, but can be had easily at pawnshops & the bargain bins at used CD shops, because not many people care for Christian metal, so it can be found cheap. You just have to search. Ebay is a good source, too. I had my favorite CD, "Lemonade" by Leaderdogs for the Blind, stolen out of my truck & it took me two years to track it down again. There is some good stuff out there.

Good Music
:rose: Diermit, some of the stuff you like, I like. I have a Gaurdian c.d. and tape, called bottle rocket. Good stuff. There is also a Christian band called Everybody Duck. They are from a few years ago, but write good music.
Just thought I would add them to your list. Take Careixie:rose:

Thank you everyone for your kind responses and suggestions. I truly appreciate it. My testimony with GOD in the music area is growing.
I now listen to:
Hillsong Australia / United (to be honest, not sure which is their official name)
Casting Crowns
Mercy me

The secular stuff is starting to cease to please
In all due respect folks, keep this one thing in mind. GOD created music for su to use to worship Him. What's it worth if it does not give Him glory and praise He's worthy of?
1 Samuel 18:10
And it happened on the next day that the distressing spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house. So David played music with his hand, as at other times; but there was a spear in Saul’s hand.
1 Chronicles 13:8
Then David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets.
The things you drink in will affect you down the road. You take in junk, you become spiritually unhealthy (just like junk food makes you physically unhealthy).
Philippians 4:8
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
Colossians 3:2-5
2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
5 Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry

2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
5 Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry
