Too bad Tuomas is not only an atheist now but actually got super big into the whole militant New Atheist thing. He had Richard Dawkins do some spoken word parts on the Endless Forms Most Beautiful album.

He invited Dawkins to speak at a closure of the one of Nightwish's biggest shows - concert at Wembley Arena in London. Although, Dawkins has't said anything blasphemous there, just nonsense (concert's up on YouTube, on the band's official channel - anyone can easily find the record). Perhaps it's ironic that Finnish music savant is getting into "A+" movement right as it is dying out. But that's a morbid kind of irony.

I saw Killswitch with the original singer in a dive bar in Jacksonville NC. Badass show.

Bassist was out in the audience jamming and taking shots mid song. Pretty entertaining.

At Hooligans? I saw Five Finger Death Punch there. Young Marines really know how to do a mosh pit!

Haha man that's it! This was like 12 years ago. But looks like it's still around.

Poasting some MaYaN, Epica's less-known siblings. By sibligns, I mean that's another band by Mark Jansen and many people from After Forever and Epica had been involved in this band, too, although by now it has own distinct style.





Decidedly un-Satanic, albeit, as expected from Death Metal, it does glorify the idea of opposing evil with equal violence, all the way up to justifying terrorism.

Just searched "Christ is King" on youtube and this one popped up.

Christ is King | Punishment by Impending Doom


Looks like they are both from an up coming album. A little heavy for my taste, but the message us on point. What do you guys think?

I don't think the beauty and simplicity of the forum allows for cross-posting a single post into two different threads, but this regards "Degradation of Music" and "Secular Songs with Religious Themes".

Nightwish actually wrote a hymn dedicated to Christ (mentioned earlier in this thread). This is from their first album, Angels Fall First, written before Tuomas lost his faith, but, being a first album, it's a bit of a rough diamond.
