You seriously liked As I Lay Dying?

As I Lay Dying was good stuff
And here I thought everyone got a good laugh whenever that name came up xD
I get a laugh out of christian metal in general...it just sounds so wrong (the term...there are a few good-ish christian metal bands).

Betraying the Martyrs have definitely strayed from the Christian theme. Still not really listenable...heh, I feel exactly the same way, I can understand some supposedly "christian" bands that appear to actually explore religious themes in their lyrics such as The Devil Wears Prada but you then have other bands like Betraying the Martyrs that seem so far from anything I would associate with christianity or religion in general. But then again I have yet to find any band that labels it's self with a religion that is to my taste as it all seems very gimmicky.
when I think "christian metal" for some reason I always think of Moral Orel and the band "Multiple Godgasm" that made a few appearances on that show, then I just remember "BUUUURN IN HEAVEN!!!"
I know a lot of metalheads aren't huge fans of metalcore, but that doesn't exclude it from being a metal sub genre. I can see maybe it's roots not being that metal since it leans towards hardcore punk, but it's hard to claim that bands like Killswitch Engage, All That Remains or As I lay Dying aren't metal.AILD isn't metal so...eh *shrug*.
Major props for that reference :v

come on man...Moral Orel was awesome.
Much like how you separated hardcore punk from metal, that is why people separate metalcore from metal. >
Metalcore is a fusion genre, so you can't really separate it. Thrash metal is a fusion of NWOBHM and hardcore punk but people don't separate it, so why do we need to separate a mix of hardcore punk and extreme metal?Much like how you separated hardcore punk from metal, that is why people separate metalcore from metal.
It got oversaturated because of it's popularity so a lot of it is pretty mediocre. There are lots of good bands in there though.metalcore just gets a bad rap because of the fact that most of it is mediocre at best.
... Why is this a thing?Still on the subject of "Christian metal", Betraying the Martyrs appear to be covering songs from Disney films now.

Even that's needlessly overcomplicated. It should just be:Oh please, don't make this thread into 'that isn't metal cry cry I'm a little bitch' DON'T MAKE ME GO KICK YOUR FUCKING ASS
Heavy Metal -> Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden
Metal -> Any other stuff influnced by the above, or bands influnced by above.
NOW STFU
Hatebeak is a death metal band, formed by Blake Harrison, Mark Sloan, and Waldo, a 21-year-old Congo African Grey Parrot. Hatebeak is the only band to have an "avian" vocalist."
The vocals actually reminded me of this guy.Well, now that we've got that out of the way...
