Could anyone tell me some good Christian screamo/hardcore bands? Screamo would be best, but I know there aren't very many just Christian screamo bands or atleast I can't find any.

Oh, trust me... There are too many bands like that. (Am I right to assume that you mean metalcore and rock bands with screaming when you say "screamo/hardcore"? That's technically using the wrong genre names for the wrong bands, but it's what most people understand those terms to mean.) What do you like? That would be a good step for getting good recommendations.

There's a chance he might mean actual screamo bands, and I don't know any of those that are the Christian variety.

Very under-appreciated.

Why people like ABR and other bands on that label more than these guys is beyond me. I only listened to Dichotomy like once, I need to give that another try. I didn't like it as much as the other two on the first listen, we'll see. Still a solid band.

Stupid genre name. They're all exactly the same as non-christian metalcore/rock bands, they just have christian members or some lyrical themes.

True... I just kind of assumed, since most people equate "screamo" with Emery and Underoath.

I didn't like Dichotomy as much either, but that might be because I got it when I was bored with heavy music; my favorite parts are the middle of "Dichotomy" (Ryan's vocals and the guitar solo) and the middle of "Deep Heaven."

Yeah I hear ya...I'm sure I'll be phasing out some of my heavy music as time goes on, just how it is...I have a LOT of CDs I need to get rid of, but I don't know of a good way to do it right now outside of selling them online, which I don't really do.

It's like looking at an impressionist painting and going "This is cubist right? Oh well, fuck you, it's still pretty so it doesn't matter."

You're correct, but when people ask for a certain genre, like this guy, and they don't really know genres yet, if somebody mentions something like Underoath, it doesn't need to be shot down. You get where I'm going?

Okay, I get it. When somebody claims a band is a certain genre, it's a lot different than asking about it. I just feel like some people are missing out on bands because other members don't want to post bands for fear of being shot down. If somebody asks for some folk music, and I recommend Neutral Milk Hotel, there will always be somebody saying "No. You're an idiot" when in reality, many people interpret them as being in that genre.

lead singer and another guy (guitar player?) are in Comeback Kid now and the bass player is in Grave Maker. Grave Maker is one of the best current hardcore bands today no doubt. Figure Four is some of the heaviest early 2000s metal/hardcore infused bands out there, you cannot deny that album, they have put out material on Facedown and Solid State before both labels got very image concious/trendy, back when both where worth everyones time and it was more about to music itself...less about the image.

If you find Dallas-era Underoath to be underrated, then you don't talk to nearly enough fans of heavy Christian music (which may or may not be a bad thing). The Dallas worship is absurd. He sounds great on recent Maylene and the Sons of Disaster releases, but on the classic UO albums, he wasn't that good.

Hmm. Most of my friend can't stand Dallas era oath, but i'm saying clearly from a vocallist perspective, he impressed me quite a bit on their older stuff. Maybe I need to take another listen, but I thought if anything he was the only shining part of that band.

haha exactly.

i just think that its like basing a musical genre off of a certain topic.

its pretty much taking away the creativity in music too, and as for interpreting lyrics, its impossible, because you know that whatever your interpretation of it was, (granted it wasnt religious) its completely wrong. i dont want to listen to music in which i know EXACTLY what the lyrics are saying. too straightforward and thought-eliminating. haha.

Alot of people make music for the purpose of worshipping/getting closer to God, so you can't really blame them when it shines through in the music. I know there are bands out there that still have faith and are taking the more artistic approach. I'm all for spirituality in music, but it seems if you're trying to reach people with you're music you're only going to anger them if you preach the whole time. There's better ways of doing it, so yeah. I'm all for throught provoking, multi-interpretive lyrics.

this.

im not making a generalization, but most of it is one-way.

but then again, so many of the bands on tooth & nail dont preach, so music like that is good i guess.

Totally agreed. I saw Advent on the Stronger Than Hell tour last summer and I told a couple of the dudes that I really enjoyed Beloved too and the guy looked at me like he wanted to kill me.

Ha, you'd think that'd be a compliment, but I guess it could be seen as a slap in the face of the current project. They're probably sick of hearing that, lol.

yeah I thought about that afterwards haha. I enjoy Advent from time to time, but Beloved was just so fantastic that Advent pales in comparison. Hopefully the new album is even better.

Failure On didn't stick with me as much either, but it had some quality tracks, and while a fun listen, no Advent songs ever stick out to me. The Running EP is a personal favorite, though. I love all six songs so much.

I was just really late on Beloved, I listened and it was good but didn't grab me. Advent, maybe not huge stand out tracks, but when I need something like devastatingly in my face heavy, I put that on. I understand why you may not have enjoyed it, it just hits me!
The new demo up on their myspace is dope though.

I can totally pick up what you're throwing down. I'm loving the Demo, I'll have to pick up the album again, because I'm digging what's on the myspace. Vas brutal.

I reccomend giving the album another shot! Some of it tends to blend together for sure, but it's really enjoyable. Blackout is a great song, and they have massive potential for the new one.
Glad you dig it!

christian music is probably my favorite sub-genre...there are only a handfull of bands that actually make it obvious they are christian in their lyrics. sometimes its a little too much when you talk about bands like Audio Adrenaline or DC Talk.

Showbread or Mewithoutyou have a pretty good mixture of gospel and "traditional" lyrics for their respective genres.

The words Christian and hardcore/screamo shouldn't be used together unless you're simply defining the member's religion. The music is inherently contrary to the doctrines of Christ because it drives the Spirit away. ;-)

oh dang i just re: to the wrong thing but i do have something to say to you idiots, first how dare you put a limit on How God works how dare you say what he dose and dose not listen to, just cause you dont like it dosnt make it wrong... have you ever even read the lyrics to some of those bands, the have the most inspiring words and because of the way they sing them you say its wrong, im am ashamed of you as a fellow Christian. This is the kind of judgement Christ warned us about. I want you To show me in the Bible Where God says " i hate screamo music, dont listen to it, its wrong" . and Zonto how can u say that the music drive Christ Away im am so disapointed in the narrow mindedness of you "Christians" How Dare you... How Dare you, Christ can move in anyway he wants to wheter it be screemo, rap, rock, Or P&W he moves all the same yet in different ways. And "mr. Awsome" how do you know God wouldent listen to TDWP.., Maby its a joyful nois to him, his chldren are ministering im many ways how can you say its wrong. I HATE rap, but there is chrstian rap artists who are making an impact. Some Of those Bands will minister to more people that you will ever talk to in you life and you critisize them ,you impossible person.

and if you wana argue this ill be back on every day or so. or you can go to my myspace var uUrl = "myspace.com/stevenc1592"; var uHref = "http://www.myspace.com/stevenc1592"; document.write(""); if(uUrl.length>24){ document.write(""); document.write(uUrl.substring(0,24) + "..."); document.write(" (http://www.absolutepunk.net/)"); document.write("" + uUrl + " (http://www.absolutepunk.net/)"); }else{ document.write(""); document.write(uUrl); document.write(" (http://www.absolutepunk.net/)"); } document.write(""); myspace.com/stevenc1592 (http://www.myspace.com/stevenc1592)
