I've heard of two of these bands:
Living Sacrifice = sounds like: Slayer, Sepultura, Morgoth, Death.
Demon Hunter = sounds like: Slipnot
Bleh. Not my thing.

Thanks, not my cup of tea either but I liked one of the guitar sounds...now to weigh in on this.
I have some friends that know about my stance, lifestyle, and church music and they respect that. One has told me he could never darken my church's door as he is too evil. Another is a speed metal guitar player and he is amazingly fast. Criticize me, but I have jammed with him with church music and he was touched by God's presence. Their style of music is heavy metal and in one case Death Metal. Those lyrics are so angry, and filled with hate, death, finality, and eternal damnation that they ACCEPT coming to THEM!!!
So here is a band, wrapping it in the same sound but talking about eternal LIFE through the cross and Jesus Christ????? Can this message get through, or is God limited by what we perceive as wrong and evil? The only thing that I have been told that God cannot do is lie. Hmmmm.
Here is a song Undying by Demon Hunter...
Ever since the day that I was made I’ve been deciding the end
And I was made of wood and stone that won’t diminish or bend
So when the heavy hand of death is here to take me away
I’ll be the solid grip of time, forever holding my stay
Nobody ever made a force that took a beating like me
I call the earth and every scum to come and try to fight me
Cus when I made the choice to live beyond the dirt that we tread
I felt the curse of mortal limit fall before it was said
Pre-chorus:
When this season ends…
Chorus:
One final heart-break
And blinding lights will guide our way
Free us our blind state
They will call us by our name
Undying
Tearing through these days I find the tolerance to strive and push on
I know what lies beyond this life for me is already won
No one can take away the blood that covers over my fall
Without the blood of perfect life I know I’m nothing at all
So now I reign forever hallowed in eternity’s hand
No man can shake me from the everlasting ground that I stand
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
We are the ones who will still remain when all is laid to waste
We are the ones who, when angels cry, will see them face to face
We are the ones
(Chorus)
****So, do I tell my buddies about this music? Music is their lifestyles and all that they do in their free time, so it is a relatable topic. Or do I just witness and leave music out of the conversation, when really that is 95% of what we talk about. Do I hope that they change their styles and likes like I did and maybe some good brother like Bill Gaither gets through to them?
So because of this I'm perplexed....
All I remember is my brother taking me to a christian rock concert many moons ago where the local churches were banning their young people from going and that night changed my outlook and life forever and I am a witness of the power of the Blood...
God is so vast, so creative, we argue against evolutionists all of the time concerning His great powers, yet, we so often put Him in our comfy boxes...strange, eh?
