I am not Christian anymore but still listen to Living Sacrifice and Zao. The 90s had many good Christian bands

I guess I need to get the 2022 version of Nonexistent then. I always thought it was a great record minus DJ's vocals and the less than ideal production. Can't wait until you cover Tourniquet in the trilogy series.

Okay, you’ve convinced me to give this album another listen. Originally, I felt it was a little too progressive, a la Neurosis and Isis, which isn’t bad at all, it just didn’t resonate with me as much as their previous albums. I’m gonna give it a more thorough listen next time.

All time favorite band

Can't say I'm a huge fan of mathcore(outside of 'Jane Doe' and a couple TDEP albums) but 'Memphis Will Be Laid to Waste' is such a great song! Tore my face off first time I heard it

With one album Reborn made me a fan of extreme metal. One of my best friends in high school gave me it on CD. The rest is history. Living Sacrifice will always have a special place for me. I wish they would make these early three albums available for download/stream. I feel like I’d appreciate them much more now. I definitely don’t think I was ready for them when I first heard them.

What a great band! Really enjoyed this 👍👍

Similar introduction to the band. My uncle gave me Hold Your Breath because it didn’t sound like their harder stuff. After hearing it, went back to their previous albums and love them as well. For Narrow Scope to be such an amazing album, they don’t get the recognition they deserve. Excited to hear about this new project with Bunton!

I have not listened to Nonexistent and am so excited now that you compared it to Gorguts in any way, shape or form! I just took my 6 year old son, Elijah, to see Gorguts and Blood Incantation as his first real concert.

I drive a vehicle equipped with a CD/cassette player, though I only listened to CDs for a season, because I no longer had the cassettes of my youth. That is, until ... the CD player stopped working! Instead of investing in a new or fixing the existing CD player, I choose to re-invest in some of those aforementioned cassettes of my youth, specifically, Believer (pictured in this video), The Crucified, Deliverance (also pictured), King's X (who I just saw live last month, Holy Soldier, Mortal and a new one by Impending Doom. Thanks eBay!

Giving Finn McKenty a run for his money here! Tuned in at the Hammering Process. Keep doing your historical stuff man!

What's your favorite Living Sacrifice album and why?

I'm pretty sure I saw these guys with Demon Hunter and some newer band like Oh Sleeper or Plea for Purging. My friends wanted the old school and I was entranced by the newer stuff haha

She = Lust ("She simply will not die")

Also, the breakdown in Best Of Me is def my fav Underoath breakdown for sure

Check out Spencer’s old band this runs through too

Going back out for Round Two of mowing this afternoon and THIS album will be my next first-time listen ...

Here's a band I missed back in the day (can't listen to everything), but I have now made a playlist and will deep dive this week-end mowing and next week at work. Great content, man!! My favorite album of all-time is Failure On by The Beloved (US). Would be stoked to see a video discussing this one, if you're familiar. Gonna watch a few more of your vids later ... Peace!

You were kinda cringe in high school.

Good stuff here. I was able to see them during the embrace era, and at the time wasn’t into hardcore yet. I appreciated them, but the next time I was in the car and listening to the album when it clicked for me. I have enjoyed every instance of this band since Embrace. Thanks for doing this episode.

I was introduced to extreme heavy music through the “christian” scene. Prior to purging my 90s record collection in a fit of imposed satanic panic, I’d never regularly listened to anything heavier than rage against the machine. Some of my favorite concert experiences to date were in that christian coffee house scene. I endured an insane amount of scrutiny from adults and youth pastors about my choices in “christian” music. The irony is they were right in a way. That music did contribute to me moving away from church. Not because of anything about the music; but because of the way authority figures were responding to it. It helped me realize organized religion was a trap. People using guilt and authority structures to gain control of, and submission from others. I’ve only realized in retrospect how unique and groundbreaking some of those bands were. Even though I cringe at the lyrics occasionally, I still have deep love and appreciation for many bands in that scene.

When the sun sleeps is still a banger

I would have loved to hear an album that had the halo of winter sound. but i like all their albums. I probably listen to narrow scope the most if im honest.

I listen to Slayer and pornogrind exclusively

Good story. Didn't know about your channel, but enjoyed your conversation. And yes, I totally agree on the 'Christian Metal Elitism'. Being from Europe, where the scene is different, the elitism kinda seems mostly an American thing, but 'we' don't go free either. Good luck on your channel.

Almost all the Christian bands are no longer Christian because it was the Christian community that showed them it was all a grift and the Christian industry was gross. Almost every band has said this from Underoath to ABR.

I was raised a Jehovah’s Witness. Luckily got out by the time I was 12. And was from that day forward an atheist/Spinozas God type guy. Not a fan whatsoever of religious institutions. But yet loved christian metal. It was what got me into metal at the beginning. ABR, Zao, Norma, Haste the Day. And its funny. Most of my friends who were like me, non religious, also felt the same way. Its still to this day. Almost all the Christian bands are looked back on fondly and respected by very non religious people. Its really interesting. Religious people tend to make it seem like they are crapped on and not welcome when thats further from the truth. Yes, some of the bands got crap from other bands. But as a whole, very welcomed in the secular world.

Josh scogin is why its so special. I saw them twice in 2003/04 when i was 17 years old. This album is my youth

If anyone compared Living Sacrifice to Megadeth to you they're super off haha. Maybe compare them to Fear Factory or Meshuggah. (At least any album 1997 and beyond)

Good shit...it makes Andrew tangible

The problem with Christian Music (among other poilitical/religious music) is that the music is an afterthought, the agenda is foremost.

So you actually run the risk of pissing even more people off by being a Christian band? KULT.

I'll be completely honest: I would MUCH rather listen to the "Pain Remains" by Lorna Shore than one more Death metal/core song about hell. I'm still wondering why there is no Amon Amarthesqe band singing about the Crusades or King Davids reign. The macabees revolt anyone? Untapped gold. It says alot that most peoples favorite Christian themed songs are from Sabaton or worse... powerwolf.

As far as Christian metal goes I’d have to say extol did it best at the time, with what was out back then, extol was like 10 years ahead of the game or something i don’t know I love extol still to this day, not a Christian whatsoever, but their so good. That first ep with the blue cover I can’t think of it off the top of my head but I loved , their like first 4 or 5 albums were all excellant.

Even when I was into real metal, the hammering process from living scarifice blew my mind. What a slam someone’s head off the pavement album

lol listen man it sounds like we grew up veeeeeery similar, and you have me alot of throwbacks and deep cuts I totally forgot about, and though I have very intense views in the flaws or religion in general, well say to remain civilian lol, but anyway, I really dig your channel and as far as this stuff goes your the dude i would much much much much rather have like, being a bigger voice for a scene. You obviously understand what’s going on and are very realistic, a lot of Christian’s can’t manage that so I respect it. Also dude remember fucking mortification! When I was 10, for about 9 days, they gave deicide a run for their money lol. Seriously good stuff man, you’re the type of Christian I’m glad to know. Take it easy boss, you got a sub out of respect for not being cringey and stupid about this stuff. Also I see you with that lil super shotgun insert from doom, let me find out you play doom as well lol

I still need to listen to this, but I don't see the video on your channel with the initial disagreement. Was that on another channel or something?

Embrace the Eternal is a top 10 album for me for sure. I enjoyed all of their releases for different reasons, but The Narrow Scope felt like a different project, and again when they ditched all their low B strings and started playing rock. Talented musicians but would have loved to see what they could have done after Embrace.

Bro I thought you sounded familiar! I remember your story from Discography Discussions and loved a lot of those episodes, I'm a Christian music fan so I leaned more towards listening to those discussions but man your format was great 🔥

Dan, you absolutely killed it during the interview with Andrew. Good that you were able to work everything in the past out. George (ChosenNightwolf)

Very much enjoyed this conversation. I've been a longtime fan of Andrew, and it is cool hearing some of his insights on different topics.

What is your favorite Era of Project 86?

I also have a great passion for Christian hxc and metal. Going back all the way to 1994. I have met and had lengthy discussions with a ton of bands throughout the years. I also saw Luti-Kriss' second show ever. I should have started a podcast as well lol. My favorites would be Strongarm, Living Sacrifice, Advent and Zao. Keep up the good work!!

Okay, first of all, looking up Vaakevandring, so I can listen to it while I read the comments.

Let’s gooo!!!!!🔥🔥🔥
