Open minded christians. Thank you for existing.
Yes
The Judith video will change your mind ;)
Why?
You're either open minded or you're christian (or anything else that has a specific definition -that we should all adhere to btw) about the world and life around us. As far as i'm concerned, on this channel, the song is called flesh and the power it controls.
@@modafoto The Judith video doesn't change anything.
Chuck loved Animals, people, and life. Great person. Glad to see you guys didn't judge him off his band's name. You are good people.
Nice profile pic.. Shred in Peace Chuck.
Yes he was big on life, very positive guy :) good comment
He was such a great person. Just amazing. The world lost something amazing with him
Yes
Chuck loved life
A pastor banging his head to death and agreeing with the lyrics,,,
My mind is blown...
At least when he gets to Cannibal Corpse he won't be so enthusiastic anymore. I mean, it's frickin Cannibal Corpse
@@the_Kiwi666 i love cannibal corpse 🤘🏻
@@the_Kiwi666 I'm religious maybe not Christian but I love Death & Black Metal.
@@thelivingdead1728 you got to admit, Cannibal Corpse lyrics are kinda offensive when you don't know anything about the band
@@the_Kiwi666 Maybe, but Cannibal Corpse lyrics always seemed more "gorey" and "bloody" to me, not Satanic but I can be wrong.
I met Chuck in 95.
He was a DAMN good man.
DEATH was all about life.
Especially in his later years.
R.I.P. CHUCK SCHULDINER
You 2 have alot of catching up to do.....
You are lucky. And absolutely correct. Wish I had met him.
RIP Chuck Schuldinger's cat
I'm so sad that I never could see Death live. I was about two years old when they played their last concert
He was a genius, and we miss him a lot.
I saw him live in 1995. Was right up front at a smaller venue. So awesome.
Death is probably the most wholesome and life-affirming death metal band to have ever existed.
Lykathea Aflame had really positive lyrics as well.
Michael Steffensen you might enjoy the band Fleshkiller
I mean Gojira, well they have lyrics about nature etc... Not wholesome too much, but well.
@@beholdthecakola later on it was more philosophical and some of it was positive. I wouldn't say was anything too positive in the SBG, leprosy, spiritual healing, or human
I'd say Extol is more, but Extol is full-on christian so that'd be cheating. Death is really sensational in that regard.
Pastors son has good taste in music
yep
Pastor also said in a recent video (Deliverance Reaction) that Opeth is one of his son's favourite bands.
But as far as Movie taste goes... 🙄
He’s a metalhead himself
They often do. I wasn't a P.K. myself but I might as well have been. When I was about 12, my Dad found my hidden stash of.... gasp... VAN HALEN CASSETTES. I'll never forget the look horror and disappointment in his eyes, as he read through each song Title. TRACK #1: Running with the Devil!? What kinda mess is this? I'm not gonna have it in my house. Imma either burn it... or record over it. A couple years later, my Mom reunited me with my 'stash'.
The original Death logo sported an upside down cross for the “T” but later Chuck changed it to more of an iron cross design because he didn’t want to be represented that way. A real case of hearing a songwriter truly mature and evolve for his own personal reasons and not to sell more records.
isn't the iron cross related to nazism?
@@KiNG_C0LD it was a German medal of Valor long before the Nazis existed, but they did use it so it’s kinda connected to the Nazis but not really. In Germany they’ve banned pretty much all Nazi symbols, but even they still allow the iron cross and use it as a medal. They do superimpose a oak leaf bundle over it now though to differentiate it from the Nazi version that had a swastika superimposed on it.
@@6maniac6metal6 Thanks for the great explanation
@@KiNG_C0LD No problem brother! I only know because I wondered the same thing
Very well said! 🙌
Chuck was dealing with the cancer that finally killed him 3 years later... he was truly dealing with the power of the flesh and his own mortality... perhaps the most intimate album ever written.
It's ok to be angry. Metal angry is a happy angry.
Gonna print out a screenshot of this comment and mail it to everyone in my life that doesn't get it yet.
That sums up everything about the entirety of metal
Your user name hahah
Exciting, exhilarating, fun, happy, Angry
Metal is an expression of anger. You can do bad things when angry or great things when angry. Self control is paramount.
He knows blast beats... wicked pastor haha
“Nah I just sit around listening to death metal” lol relatable
Death - Voices Of The Soul
If you don't reach to it, at least listen to it.
I always cry when I listen to it.
Its so beautiful 😭
I want that song on my funeral in hopefully 70-80 years
@@koffieverslaafde627 same here.
Phenomenal piece of music. Many tears when listened to
proof that metal is not satanic and can be enjoyed by christians.
I'm a Christian. I love metal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I love Jesus! death metal is my favorite!
Hello other Reuben.
Mortification is a death metal band. Listen the early songs. Antestor is an another very good christian metal band.
Yeah! \m/
I find it interesting, that your son is a metal enthusiast and you don't appear to discourage him, i respect that alot. I was not a pastor's son, but my parents were and are crazy Christians, almost to the point of pinning their handkerchief to their clothing on their Sabbath, i was at 13 yrs old and a big Metallica fan and still am. My mother would burst into my room screaming "It's the devils music" and unplug my tape player and shout at me "your going to hell" yet you let your son explore his musical interests. I admire that 100%
he said his first instinct was to throw "that devil music" away
My mom says the same thing and what i do is turn the volume at max!
My mom is like this pastor... She doesn't agree with what I like, but she respects it and even tries to learn a little about what I like. We're both Christians.
This an American thing?
Don't know anyone like it in the UK to be fair.
@@gozewstuffnthings5837 I'm puertorican. :D
pastor knows a lot of "metal music" terms as "blast beat", so happy to know people like that
@JezBollah 667 I mean at least he tries lmao
@@seanoconnor5730 exactly, dude makes an effort and comes at it with an open mind. I respect it
Same bro
A buck toothed mountain?
You sir have made my day
i wonder what he would say about the crystal mountain lyrics. i did not think chuck was saying "cross turned dagger" for a long time. more like crusty...
I'm also a christian and a massive fan of Death. Chuck was honestly I really normal and stand up dude.
Rowan Hamilton and then there’s glen Benton
This is one hell of a masterpiece. Thanks for choosing this song. Please react to Solitude Aeturnus: Into the Depths of Sorrow or Katatonia: Forsaker
@@gorehog04 Hahaha yes then theres Glen Benton.
Lord Zaber #2 Benton is kind of weak now in his old age. Wasn’t it like two years ago that he didn’t want to book tour that would have him playing shows around Christmas time.

You are quite literally a hip Ned flanders
"Hi-Diddily-Ho!"
This is my favorite comment of the day!
@@roberthoughton7127 look up the band Okilly Dokilly
The killing joke wow. Just previewed their song “White wine Spritzer”. I would have never guessed such a thing even existed. Not bad though.
Robert Houghton please please please react to Holy War by Thy art is murder. Love to hear your analysis on such a powerful song
Get off my comment you fiend, no I'm in joking haha
Chuck was also a pioneer of progressive metal. He is missed in metal.
He was a genius
If metal was a religion, the gods would be chuck, Lemmy, Layne Staley, dimebag, Vinnie, cliff, iommi, Ozzy, Peter Steele
@@anotherbigfootwithinternet2147 don't forget cliff
There first album was so progressive, it spawned an entire genre.
@@anotherbigfootwithinternet2147 Mustaine, maybe?
This was on Death's last album, and by this point in their career, they had pretty much transcended beyond death metal into more of a progressive metal band. In fact, from what i understand this was actually intended to be the first album of Chuck's follow-up band, Control Denied, and was supposed to have clean singing vocals, but the label insisted that he record harsher vocals for it and release it under the name Death. How crazy is that!
I have the Control Denied album. I hate the vocals lol. I prefer Chuck's high vocals
@@johnstrika9170Tim Aymar does the vast majority of the vocals for Control Denied
By the time this album was written, Chuck wasn't happy with using the band name Death anymore. He felt that it didn't represent the lyrics anymore, since he had evolved into a much deeper level of writing. And btw, I am in no way a Christian, and I appreciate the open mindedness of the Pastor. Great video and a great choice of songs guys!
In Fact, this was meant to be the last Death studio album, as Chuck was focusing on Control Denied since 1996. There are songs on The Sound of Perseverance that were written for Control Denied, like Bite the Pain, Story to Tell, Voice of The Soul and A Moment of Clarity.
@@vlcervo7371 Yes, that is all true. It would have been sad to not get another Death album. But the release of that long "in the works" 2nd Control Denied album would be great. Too many complications though, so it'll probably never happen.
@@VampyreTruck I guess so, Eric Greif already wrote that. "There will unfortunately not be a second Control Denied album. It was too enormous a task, and Chuck told Jim Morris that if it couldn't be accomplished exactly as he imagined it, it shouldn't be done. Too many years have gone by. E". That's from the officla Death on FB.
what deeper in this world is there than death?
he never said he wasnt happy with it, he said he would have called it something different, but he still likes "Death"
Death is probably one of my favorite bands of all time. Chuck had very meaningful lyrics, one of a kind riffs and he will be deeply missed. And as a Christian I would like tell you that I really respect what your doing here . Bridging the gap between Christian and non Christian music fans without narrow mindedness. You have my attention. Subscribed now. Lol
I'm a non-christian and watch him for the same reason. Guess he's doing a good job so far :)
Should react to Spiritual Healing instead
My favorite song off the sounds of perseverance album is " story to tell" it is written so well. It's like 4 songs in one ro me. But I agree. He is doing a good job.
As much as Death is my all time favourite band, his lyrics actually became meaningful and philosophical after he started reading Nietzsche's and Socrates' writings, among with the proggresive shift in the music with 1990 Human. Lyrics on gory death and disease from the first albums cant really be called "meaningful".
codro1982 I have alot of respect for death and their influence, but I've never actually been the hugest fan of their music, the sound quality is really sub par, not necessarily their fault but I wished it could be re mastered with more modern recording equipment
Death brought me closer to GOD. RIP Chuck. His lyrics. That music. It seriously brought God to me. Now God is everywhere I look. Everywhere I feel. Everywhere I simply ask for him. Blessed.
Goosebumps every time i hear this song.. TOUCH! TASTE! BREATHE! CONSUUUUUUUMED!!!
Chucks riffs allways give me goosebumps, and ive been a fan for YEARS. But still, every time i listen. Straight up chills
the lyrics of this song are incredibly touching.
That band name's story: Chuck loved his brother so much. His best friend was his brother when they were kids. He lost his brother very young ages. He never forget his brother Frank, because i said, his best friend was his brother. So he named the band "Death" for memorial of brother. Source: www.emptywords.org/EmptyWords12-2010.htm
Also he was a philosopher. He just wrote some weird/gore lyrics for first album but he never loved this album. Because his opinion is: his songs must be meaningful deeply. He saw life with positive aspects. He never hated life and people. He loved people/animals and he hated money. So he was poor for treatment
s when he was sick.
He is my hero like Stan Lee. I never forget him...
This is great but Stan Lee was totally different kind of person
Riccardo C yeah, i know. I just mean there are two different person but both of them my heroes. In history my idols are: Chuck Schuldiner, Stan Lee, John Carmack, Bill Gates and Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
@@AlpVonTrier oo türkler varmış
MegaDave Taylor ;)
He should have heard Corpsegrinder from the Reign of Terror Demo, after all that song gave a name to the singer of Cannibal Corpse 🤘🤘🤘
The all time great drummer RICHARD CHRISTY!! So good
I was obsessed with his drumming during my teens. Absolute unit
I like Hoglan better. Besides, he's self taught
chris reinerts drumming on human is unbelievable human sounding no pun intended his meshing of jazz patterns and death metal drumming is amazing
Hes my faaavorite.
@@nocturnasinterfector Richard compliments the riffs better, hoglan kinda does his own thing sometimes
R.I.P. Chuck , 22 years gone but still the best. Thank you for the treasures you left us 🤘🎸🎤
miss his music badly/ great dude/fish on man
Just to add a true story.
I went to a rehab called Times of refreshing.
It was a Seventh Day Adventist based place.
I was having hard times and one day i found a guitar in a closet .
I played it for about 2 days and all of a sudden the door burst open and an old mean lady named Barbara came in and snatched the guitar.
She said the Devils music would not be played in that place.
I was broken.
I was playing Its been A while by staind .
I packed my bags and walked from Georgia to Clarksville tn.
The trip on foot from the Ocoee river,through Copperstown,etc etc changed me and helped more than the closed minded fools i left.
Thanks for being cool the world needs more of Christians like you.
The best part of this is seeing nice interactions between a father and son.
I am a Christian who listens to heavy metal everyday, nice to see someone else is as open as I am
I'm also a Christian. You have to look at music as music, understand what the lyrics are trying to invoke and don't allow it to have power over you. Once you're conscious of it it has no power over you.
Me too wow i thought i was THE only 1 ever
The lead singer knew he was dying when he wrote this. Could be the reason for the spiritual insight within this song. A very memorable album.
-edit- apparently he wasn't dying yet when he wrote this. Still, I think he was still performing. Amazing band.
Eh he knew he had cancer. But he went into remission after the album. It came back and got him sadly.
@@seanoconnor5730 cancer is a death sentence
@@keimokuula9852 not always.
Sean O'Connor LIFE is a death sentence.
rip chuck
I've always thought Chuck's voice was at its best in Symbolic, it got a little high-pitched for this album (though the musicianship is top notch). Try "Crystal Mountain" from Symbolic!
Thank you for these videos, by the way. I started with the Tool ones and am hoping you do more of those too! You guys are awesome.
Cody Jassman symbolic is a masterpiece of an album
Agreed, symbolic was the pinnacle
Chuck's voice on Symbolic was crazy good but I love his screaming on The Sound of Perseverance. You can tell that he was a great singer too.
I prefer his early voice in Scream Bloody Gore and Leprosy. Sounds really raw, brutal and primitive. The later high pitch voice is great too, but if i have to choose, i choose the early brutal voice.
@@jeppyjep bro chuck sounds like a neanderthal on scream bloody gore
Chuck's voice is so unique, I didn't like it at first but one day it clicked and I love it now. RIP
Me too
The pastor is right on. As a Christian and metal fan, I take what is good and spit out the bones. Some of this extreme metal stuff has a great message. I got into metal with the song "Master of Puppets," and I've never experimented with drugs because God convicted me to never make anything else my MASTER, MASTER! haha
Its not really being a puppet. Its more like not wanting to overdose and become an idiot lol
Dude same
This track could have been written by a medieval Christian monk. And I'm not joking...
This video literally got me into Death.
Same bro
this is great. i'm a pastors kid thats also into metal. my dad is a guitar player and has never told what i can and cant listen to. I am a christian myself and that should not be a limiting factor as to what kind of music i get to enjoy (god crafted my interests in fact).the day after i go to concerts whether it be slipknot, slayer, or the likes, he aways asks how it is and is genuinely interested in my experience with the music i enjoy. i salute you robert
Wow I wish my dad was like that I can’t listen to Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath because he thinks there’s demonic
90% of the time he doesn’t even know the songs and lyrics
Very smooth transition to a relevant Bible reading. Thumbs up
Man, I love these people
blast beats my friend
praise jesus
Death had a great deal of underlying Biblical messages, especially on their later albums.
You're talking about the best metal band of all times, dude. Chuck was not only a hell of a guitarist, the best of all times to me, but he was a true philosopher.
For a Christian, Atheist, Muslim, whatever, his music is just Pure Art ;)
@Max Campo of course.
@Max Campo Death is the best band to me, and Chuck is my favourite guitarist of all times. He was a revolutionary and invented a musical style on his own.
Max Campo bro please tell me you didn’t just compare these toddlers to Death lmfaooooo
@@mayhem_rocker6308 he can't understand probably. But it's his taste, we must respect that.
Even if Chuck is the God of Guitarists and he just committed a blasphemy, but it's OK, Chuck is a cool dude and will forgive him
@Max Campo Are you joking? As someone who personally knows a couple past members of Rings, everything was so forced and just made to shock. Ultu Ulla was the best album. That one wasn't just mindless shredding. All the other bands aren't even close to the tier that Death is on. One of the few bands I believe beats out Death is Opeth. Go listen to the entirety of My Arms, Your Hearse and tell me that those bands are better than Opeth
Back in 1983 I sent away for a Demo tape of a band called Mantis. I was 16 in High School. The leader of the band Chuck.
."Evil Chuck" at the time. He was also 16 and washing dishes for some restaurant
He sent me his bands tape
Mantis. Not really that great. Poor production. But the c dude was really cool and into Metal like me. Hand written letter. He was very down to earth....reminded me of a friend of mine
We continued to write back and forth and he changed his name to "Death: band name.
They got alot better. Hired a dude Cam Lee. Great vocals. Better than Chucks.
I remember something happened and he said he might join Canadian thrash band Slaughter. Not to be confused w hair band of same name. They had a tune "Insinorater" I remember.
But Death had Corpse Grinder...awesome
I think Cam then fronted Massacre..great band.
I bought first Death Lp. Then kinda got into other bands. He was coming up to NJ to play at "The Showplace" in like Dover Nj. He wanted to meet up and hang. This was like 1985
I threw out all my Metal memorabilia, letters ect
Wish I didnt. He was well respected not a follower.
Most so called death metal bands go off the deep end. He took the word Death as a real symbol of life. It happened. So intelligent. He used to always write.:Rot back soon Evil Chuck lol.But he evolved grew up
RIP.Chuck Schuldiner.
Coolest open minded pastor ever. Your son ...what a nice young man. That's because he's got a cool pop. Bless u both.
A Mantis reference, awesome!
Scavanger of Human Sorrow. It's from the same album
fav song lml
RIP Death Metal Legend, Chuck Schuldiner :(
Wow your open mindedness is what more So Called Christians need sir
Would be good if it was reciprocated as well. People tell us Christian's to be open minded and not so narrow in their thinking, it goes both ways.
Argghh Death.... A real damn shame What happened to Chuck.... :(
fight4anarchy I believe it was brain cancer that took Chuck away from the world..
he overcame the cancer but after it returned the second time he was super weak and on meds he died an hour after reaching his home after leaving the hospital. tragic
still my all time favourite band. You guys are so genuine and likeable. really enjoyed this. subscribed. 👍
RIP Chuck!
The cancer was the first nail in poor Chuck's coffin but America's cancerous medical system was the last.
His music was amazing.
Symbolic is literally a perfect album.
He deserved a better fate.
I don’t care about our religious differences; you, sir, is my new role model as a father. I hope I can interact with my one-year old like that a few years from now.
Dude, I always said that The Sound of Perseverance is a complete album, it has everything, not only talking about riffs. It's a master piece.
Please do yourself a favour and watch The Lord of the Rings.
Mike Fearon especially if you listen to metal
no dont watch it, read it!
Yeah, I was like wtf?
@@Shovelglove545 What does metal have to do with lord of the rings lmao?
I don't like Lord of the ring and I'm a fantasy writer and artist
Death was one of the best technical death metal bands ever. Most people arent on the level to understand Chucks lyrics. Many thrash and death metal bands speak hard core truth, thats why Al and Tipper Gore started the PMRC. Megadeath is another band that really grinds and speaks biblical truth. I enjoyed the pastors words afterward, very relevant to the song.
Coroner was a 3 piece and I have yet to find a 6 piece that sounds as technical. The album RIP is a metal masterpiece!
Megadeth is pretty horrible musically
@@recession81 Are you serious dude? You must not know much about music, or a fucking hip hop fan or some shit.
You picked one of chucks best tunes ever written. Cheers!
And chuck is The Godfather of Metal haha!
You guys are a breath of fresh air. Subscribed....and the interlude is clean guitar, when the bass comes in he’s playing an octave higher, so he’s on the same octave as the guitar, so you get this doubling feeling. And yes light flange, chorus, and phaser are effects chuck used in the song
-christian
-metal head
-lover of life
-dirty sinner
With these qualities, ive fought countless internal battles and i still battle it every day
I view myself as a bridge between evil and good but ive been struggling with who i have become. I sometimes think that what holds me together isnt righteous enough to help anyone.
This video specifically helped me see myself in a new light as well as understand what i had already read in the bible.
So i wanna take this time out to thank you and bless you both.
God, please bless these two and thank you for choosing them as a sturdier bridge for others to use.
One day i hope i could contend with you in terms of wisdom and strength.
Thank you ❤️
Wow. As a father and someone who has been, essentially condemned by religious figures during my life. Whether it be pastors, priests, chaplains, whatever title those "leaders of the church" have held, solely from my experience, this is somewhat refreshing on different levels. One, I want to most point out, is the fact you did this with your son. I could see in his reaction that he obviously loves metal music of different origins, but he is your son and the thing that stands out the most, is the fact that you as his father, encourage him and share memories in listening to and experiencing the music he is into. So many parents, regardless of religious affiliation, tell their kids that is devils music, or you're going to hell for listening to that or wearing the clothes you wear. So thank you for being open minded, taking your sons thoughts and likes into consideration. This has not been enough to fully convert me, but as a father, watching a father and son share the experience, epic win. Also, when I say "condemned" i do not mean that literally, but I had several friends pass away before we graduated high school and the mothers of those friends asked us to wear our favorite band t-shirts to the funeral, at which point, the pastor presiding, decided to go into this long sermon about how all of us "kids" were "damned to hell" for the music we listen to and the shirts we were wearing. It was very disheartening considering we were there to mourn the loss of a loved one, not to be preached at for our clothes or musical interests. It was supposed to be a remembrance of life, not a condemnation from a priest.
WHAT! never read/watched lord of the rings! One of the most metal stories every written. Do yourself a favor and at least watch the movie.
Also, your dad is cool. Lucky to have an open minded father like this.
I think we’re going to watch the series during Christmas break. ☺️
Geum Lazar yeah my dad made fun of me for liking metallic
Blind guardian- Nightfall in middle Earth, the first track isn't a song. It's an dialogue between Sauron and his master, Morgoth...
Lord Of The Rings is actually an Christian story and J. R. R. Tolkien the author of it was a massive Christian and he said himself that he has put biblical wisdom inside of it.
The drummers name is Richard Christy. He has been in many great bands like Iced Earth. He later became famous for his prank calls on the Howard Stern show.
"No I just sit around listening to death metal" You are awesome Gage. My favorite death metal band is Obituary, check them out if you don't already know of them. cheers!
But he hasn't watched The Godfather AND the Lord of the rings. What a schmuck.
@@pranavkulkarni1414 Lord Of The Rings needs to be read first before watching movie.
I'm happy to see you guys doing this, I am a Christian but I love this type of music, I have been known to listen to slipknot while getting ready for church, I love that you have an open mind over music keep it up and I will be here watching you guys
I really love that you are doing this series. It is so rare these days to see people put "religion" behind them and put the relationship with Christ to the front. I am a Christian death metal musician that has always found it difficult to explain what we do to the ones who aren't walking with Jesus. It almost seems like an explanation of polar opposites when you say "Christian Death Metal". I just know that my Father wants me to make a joyful noise and what I play definitely qualifies as "noise", lol. Keep going, guys. Perhaps you will be a catalyst to knocking down the barriers that society has between those of faith and those walking alone.
"I just know that my Father wants me to make a joyful noise and what I play definitely qualifies as "noise", lol." Haha! So true!!!
Death metal is not noise!
Did you ever like the band Deliverance?
@@Betterbeginner I can shoot you lyrics, if needed. Except maybe for the live version of Hellfire. My vocalist usually played that loose and went where he was led with it.
R.I.P. Chuck, gone before your time. It's amazing how people are still discovering one of the greatest, and true originators of the genre. True musicians, in every way.
7:43 that's not a bass guitar :D it's a clean electric guitar with some mild chorus effect. you can compare 8:49 the bass comes in
Respect to you pastor.
The world needs more open minded people like you no matter what their beliefs are.
Try some Wardruna next. Helvegen is a good song to get into.
That or Current 93 - This Autistic Imperium Is Nihil Reich. David Tibet is actually Christian but has some interesting views on it.
Wardruna is just plain awesome. The word 'epic' is badly overused, but it applies in their case. 'Rotlaust Tre Fell', 'Dagr' or 'Algir Tognatale' might be good starting points as well.
good to see that he didn't absolutely hate it!
I definitely like Death more when they became more technical and the lyrics more philosophical. Another you might like is Flattening of Emotions, or Trapped in a Corner.
This album is a masterpiece...!!!! The fact that Chuck sang while playing these lines is beyond words...!!!!
Yeah Death has alot more meaningful lyrics compared to other death metal bands like Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel and Dying Foetus among others most of which focus mainly on blood and gore or just senseless violence. Like the music is good sounding still, but lyrics are important for me.
True, except for Dying Fetus - lots of politically loaded lyrics in their catalogue, and anti-establishment/anti-religion/anti-abortion (pro-life) lyrics, they are actually rather diverse, despite a few songs with senseless violence as their topic.
Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse and the other old school bands are far more gore/horror movie/occult/violence focused for 9 out of 10 songs on every album.
Dying Fetus has a lot of meaningful lyrics.
Yeah I gotta agree with the other two replys,cc most def fits in that description and morbid angel definitely does to an extent but not really dying fetus.
Morbid angel isnt gore lyrics either...
@@bcbitchkkv Honestly, I think Dying Fetus - From Womb into the Waste is neither pro or anti abortion. I feel that they leave place for you to think about it.
I believe the drummer on this album was Richard Christy who quit music to be on the Howard Stern show
He didn't quit music .. his band is called Charred Walls of the damned
I’m not into a lot of death metal but as a Christian and metal guy I adore Chuck. He always sang on “most” albums about the human condition. I worked as a Christian advisor for addicts and surprisingly Chuck has many Christocentric songs. Cool reaction
this Pastor seems like a very genuine humble guy. I really enjoy these videos.
So glad that there is pastors, that is not as conservative and ignorante as the others.
I see u like bmth
@@zaneterry9940 No Zeal and Ardor
I applaud you for not judging a book by its cover. From my experience, not many religious people are willing to let go of there “holy books” just for a moment, and listen. Whether it be musical content or someone just talking. 👏👏👏
it is so refreshing to see a pastor with such an open mind amen brother!
I think it’s great that in today’s time, Christians respect metal and even support it

In my opinion the most important thing in life is not to what kind of music you listen to but how you act and what you believe deep inside your heart.
I listen to "mean" and "devil" music but I can still say that I am a true christian without lying to myself.
I really love to see how open minded a pastor can be.. I didnt expect that to be honest. You clearly deserved a sub.
Have a nice day :)

@@hipbubble7685 No he isn't, he's catholic... And nope, catholics aren't christians...
You are extremely lucky to have such an awesome dad who genuinely makes an effort to relate to your interests and understand you. Very wholesome.
Just an interesting tidbit on their logo. Death used an inverted cross as the "t" in their name earlier on when the lyrical matter was focused more on theatrics and shock value. As time went on and the lyrics became more philosophical, they began raising up the horizontal part until it had vertical symmetry.
Compare their logos on the covers of Scream Bloody Gore and Symbolic to see what I mean.
Tool- 46&2
Megadeth- Holy Wars
Opeth- The Grand Conjuration
andrew swo 🙌🏻 Opeth 🙌🏻 my man
Finally someone named Opeth... when I listen to them I'm mainly captured by the richness of their music made of multi-layers, some of which are so deep below others and hard to catch for a not fine ear, but their lyrics are also part of what makes of Opeth one of the best bands on the planet today and perhaps of all time. I cannot pick a song over another but hey Pastor @Robert Houghton I let you do the hard work here... I'm a non-believer and very critical with the concept of religion itself but I do already listen to you with care {and lotta respect, I'd say} so it makes sense to keep up my role a bit! PS: I believe a huge spot should be given to Layne Staley and Alice In Chains, because I believe there's a lot of messages there to analize and take out which can lead to making a service to yours community.
Not a Tool fan but I whole-heartedly agree with the 2 other suggestions.
Someone likes their prog
Holy Wars is arguably the best prog metal song ever written
The philosopher by Death is one I'd love to see you guys watch. Keep up the great work! I enjoy your videos immensely
Hmmm the bass is strong in this one...
This is the chillest pastor ever. Loved this.
I’m an old dad from SoCal. Pastor is a cool dude. He gets it. 🤙🏻🤙🏻
great reaction, just don't listen to Spiritual Healing HAHHAHA you wont enjoy that as much.
Eh, spiritual healing seems more against using religion as an excuse to hurt and kill and most people agree to that.
Lmao
Gotta agree with Nate on this one man. Spiritual Healing isn't anything for a Christian to be offended about; unless they're a hypocrite who killed someone in bloodthirst and tries to justify it, then maybe.
I think that they actually should react to it. Very powerful ideas in that song that all Christians should consider.
Crack Babies: The song
I am a die hard Death fan. I got all 7 Death albums
All LP’s first press ?
missing one,control denied the fragile art of existence.
Subscribed this channel since the Slayer's Disciple reaction video, Pastor reaction was a new thing for me especially when you had to open the Bible and cite the verses. Do keep making reaction videos from metal music like these, I love to see how you see it from your perspective and being open about it.
Hey Guys, I really want to thank you for this video. As a reborn Christian who loves death and heavy metal I love to hear you both analyzing this song from a biblical perspective... I recently was struggling in my heart with God and this song makes me realize how much power I was giving to the flesh and this helps me to turn my eyes to God again and to live through the Spirit.
Greetings from Chile!
I grew up Baptist and no longer believe, but I love your objective approach to music. Extol was an amazing Christian metal band, who sadly broke up, but fortunately for me, 2 of the members got together with the bass player from my favorite band Dillinger Escape Plan and created an amazing band called Azusa. Check out "Heavy Yoke", would love to see a reaction lol
Didn't know they broke up again, but Extol put out a decent release 2 years ago. Not crazy about Azusa but I did like Fleshkiller.
Hey, you should check out Fleshkiller. Got some of the members of Extol and has all the familiar sounds of Extol but heavier
@@killmyself4010 Actually think Fleshkiller sounds like old school Extol.
just want to give a shout out to nolan and kill myself, because I never would have found out about Fleshkiller if it wasn't for them lol
As a lifelong believer & lifelong metalhead & metal musician, life can be full of seemingly endless contradictions & "moral struggles" if you will. However, as you just experienced, all is not what it seems & there indeed is much light where it can appear darkness rules. I could go on forever, but I will just say it warms my heart to see a pastor glimpse into a world I know is one of the last to hear REAL truth. The metal community. Labels have kept us apart for too long. The most loving, compassionate, understanding, open-minded, intelligent & passionate people I know are metalheads. And when they stop judging believers & when believers stop judging them, THEN we will truly get somewhere.
Aint that the truth.
You guys are awesome!!! What Christians SHOULD be!!!
I loved the video, thank you guys!
Respect and thumbs up for Death (I am a big fan) and for both of you guys 🤘😎👍 I like the open mindedness and your reaction.
Great analysis
Would certainly love to hear your opinion on wings of Marie & 10,000 days by tool (one flows into the other)
Which shows another take on Maynard James Keenans coping with his mother paralysis and death
This was amazing you guys! I'm glad that you both see the passion that can be held in such music as death metal. It's one of the only genres for me that truly can emit the powerful feelings of love, pain and true passion... I feel like it feeds my soul.
Also as an ex-Christian, it makes me happy to see there are a few happy open minded ones out there! It was something I really wished there were more of in my Church.
Really enjoying seeing all these videos of you guys. Great choices of songs
Opeth- Ghost of Perdition, The Moor, Demon of the Fall
Good songs to start with. Its one of the most unique metal bands out there.
'were' metal, now relegated to a 70's folk/rock band.
A shame as they used to be one of my favourites
Opeth is in a league of their own!
Ben Ashby bro they still play all kinda of stuff live. Frederick and axe honestly play better than the original members on the back catalogue songs they play and Pers on the keyboard makes the old songs with no or bad keyboard mixes sound amazing. Just stream new albums before you buy them and dont complain because they still have the best back catalogue of any touring band.
I'm going to see Opeth at Download 2019, I hope they play ghost of perdition live
Opeth ghost of perdition is in my opinion one of the most creative songs. It has so many awesome turns in different genres of music. Opeth are like a combination of death, pink floyd & black sabbath 🤘
Dream theater - The spirit carries on
Megadeth - Holy wars... The punishment due
Good picks. I love The Spirit Carries On, as well as Dream Theater. It is always hard to hold back tears when I sing it at karaoke. Such a powerful and emotional song.
Orthodox Christian here. Glad to see that I'm not the only Christian who catched the spiritual themes of this song. The whole album is full of themes about spiritual struggle and warfare. I recently read that Chuck Schuldiner was actually a Christian. Keep up the good work guys, God bless you!
I could be wrong, but this song could be about the dangers of a hedonistic life of excessive sex and such
@@ferggusonsamy3479 Yup, the dangers of the flesh and the passions. Not just sex though, all sin in my opinion and even things like depression, despair and anxiety which are also sinful passions
depression is a sinful passion? I don't even know what to say. I hope you're okay @@user-ht3xe5kp7o
Great channel and great perspectives and insights. Thanks men!
I like this pastor guy. I appreciate that he's making a great effort to enjoy the music and it seems like he really is loving this track. Pastor man, may I suggest that you borrow the CD from your son and listen to the entire album, uninterrupted, from start to finish. It's a journey that is best enjoyed loud, and as said, uninterrupted. It's nice to see that a Christian pastor is sincerely attempting to listen to metal and giving it a chance from their perspective, instead of shunning it like most Christians do.
I wanted to tell you guys how much I appreciate what you do. From the bottom of my heart I want to say thank you. I grew up going to church and some of my fondest memories are going to church camp, one of my favorite times ever. As I grew I became an atheist, a devout atheist and lashed out. Years later I won’t say I’ve come full circle but I will say that through my personal experience that I will no longer say that there is no God. I don’t know exactly where I am at right now friends but I’m no longer willing to write off God. I really appreciate what you do because as a fellow musician, someone who actually really enjoys to listen to some of the darker music like slayer and death and so on, I love how you don’t judge the people by the music. There will always be some bad people out there however you can’t judge anyone by the music any more than you can judge an author for writing horror movies or horror stories like Stephen King. And I really appreciate the fact that you guys can look beyond a stereotype and actually look into the humanity of your fellow human beings. I love metal music, I’ve been listening to slayer death Sodom. And a bazillion other metal groups for the majority of my life but I’m also a good person, a father of three boys that I’m very proud of that Have grown and are now adults. I am an empathetic and compassionate human being and I really hope that I have taught my sons to be as well. Sorry didn’t mean to ramble but I just wanted to say that I appreciate what you guys do and for not being judge mental. I guess that’s really it. And I really like that you and your son can make these awesome videos.
Maybe you're agnostic then? Someone who recognized there might be a God but we can't know for sure?
Thank you for an open mind and a heart truly seeking righteousness.
Now this, does put a smile on my face
