Funny you mention that.. I eat lunch at a nearby restaurant that airs an awful local radio station that plays nothing but old pop hits, so I've heard the same songs a million times, and some of them are inappropriate as hell, particularly "Jessie's Girl" and "Don't You Want Me Baby." And these are pop songs.

As a faithful believer of Jesus and God, and an avid Bible reader, Deicide is one of my favorite bands. I think that "When Satan Rules his world" is my favorite song.

For me the most controversial song is got to be "Hey man nice shot!" by Filter. It basically talks about how a USA politician who committed suicide by gunpoint on live TV back in the '80s in front of journalists. The video is on the Youtubes and it is disturbing to say the least.

Also, am I the only one who thinks the prosecution should've focused on Beyond the Realms of Death (in a devil's advocate kind of way)?

I'm aiso a believer. You can tell that Benton had a childhood in the church - it never leaves you even though in his case it is mixed with anger and whining. Some of the best lyrics (and music) I think are on Serpents of the Light album. That line in "Blame it on God" - "you are the one who killed his own Son/ we are the ones you are blaming it on" really got me thinking hard and reading more. Perhaps our theology is wrong or, at least, the way the doctrines are sometimes presented bring us very close to the caricature Benton portrays. Read Steve Chalke and Alan Mann, The Lost Message of Jesus for good discussion on this point in terms of questioning of the penal substitution theory of the atonement.

It was ironic how those 1980s lyrics which the PMRC made a big fuss about were harmless and tame even by the standards of movies and TV shows of the time. But then, when you go to say 1991 and 1992, you had lyrics on the second and third Cannibal Corpse albums which were deeply shocking and offensive by anyone's standards. Even today, I couldn't bring myself to read a full set of song lyrics for even one track.

I just checked out "Jessie's Girl" lyrics again. Aren't they just the thoughts of a frustrated guy who has the hots for his friend's girl? I'm sure most of us have had similar thoughts at some time in the past. I do not know whether it is really unambiguous that he is going to act on his fantasies. It seems a bit like "The Number of the Beast" lyrics, reflecting the dilemma of being confronted with a choice - follow desires or free yourself from guilt. (Although I agree that the guilt aspect doesn't feature openly in the "Jessie's Girl" lyrics unlike in NOTB.)

I'm slightly surprised no one has mentioned Christian metal bands here.

After all, it seems to be more socially acceptable in metal message boards to admit to liking Arghoslent or NSBM bands than it is to admit to liking someone like Believer, Deliverance, or Living Sacrifice.

I do know that it was requested not to mention NSBM early on in this thread, but would Christian metal bands fit the same criteria? Although it's far more acceptable to be a Christian than a neo-Nazi or National Socialist in reality, but I'm sure you guys here can see where I'm coming from.

I dislike them. I used to be a Christian, and I think my life would’ve been a lot better, had I not been one, in my youth, and had I made some much more rationally selfish choices. I now view religion as a tool, to keep people enslaved.

I don’t want to listen to really religious bands(like Trouble, even though I like the music), but I can overlook some of it. If Black Sabbath and Saint Vitus tell me that I shouldn’t be messing with black magic, because it’s too powerful, and my soul will be damned, I’ll take it as a metaphor. I’ll interpret it as a warning, not to do heroin.

Yep it was Dwyer. The lyrics of the song are also disturbing.

Yep fucking typos man... :roll:

I think that "Beyond the realms of death" has a more liberating approach to death. As I see on the lyrics it talks about a person who is so fucked up physically that death is a way for him to find peace; not a suicide-themed song.

Wow that line is really deep! Benton talked in a documentary about how his grandma used to call him "little bastard" for listening to heavy metal. His father once caught him listening to heavy metal and shouted at him something like "TURN THAT SHIT OFF NOW THIS BE DEVIL MUSIC!"

I am also against doctrines for the differences between their representatives are a justification to impose influence and power over the masses. No matter the philosophical differences I do not reckon any difference in the humble faith of a catholic or and orthodox. Benton is spot on here. Christianity - like any other mass religion - is plagued with too many power hungry people in too many influencing places that sometimes even try to alter the scriptures for them to fit in their own interests.

I like the nineties Believer and quite a lot, but couldn't care less for their mumbling preoccupation about the rejection of Christ.

I think the only Christian metal lyrics that really made me roll my eyes were

1: A Tourniquet song that yelled something like "Do you really think Mr. Darwin's words and thoughts truly are the last?" as if it's some big GOTCHA to Darwin, who was a Christian.

2: I can't remember the band, I think it was one of the Christian thrash/death bands, but they had a song that compared homosexuality to mental illness that had me tugging my collar awkwardly and making 3 stooges noises. Not a good look gang.

Christian lyrics really only bother me when it's going into anti-abortion, anti-science, and just generally bigoted nonsense. The evangelical stuff tends to be too toothless for me to get offended by it and I find explorations of personal faith genuinely compelling. There's the matter of more niche creationist-themed lyrics, which are as niche as they are hilarious.

That and the movie Begotten which was available on Youtube circa 2013-2014 if I remember.

The metalcore band "For Today" had a lot of great lyrics about God, faith and Christianity. To this day it is the only Christian band that I enjoy. Too bad they split up :(

But yeah it is one thing to worship some entity through your music and another to go against the human reason.

as far as I'm aware, there was never a big stink about it, but Acid Bath had some really racy, provocative lyrics. Had they been bigger and higher profile I think some of that stuff might've generated some controversy

I know of some Christians who like many Christian metal bands, but tune out if the lyrics are hateful towards non-Christian types. The ones that are practically like neo-Nazi bands, except the vitriol is towards non-believers instead of Jewish people and blacks.

I love me some Type O Negative but they had a whole mess of these. You can pretend that Der Untermensch has some plausible deniability all you want, but the blatant homophobia on I Like Goils and the anti-abortion take on These Three Things are pretty hard to ignore. People seem to forget how hard Peter Steele went into his religious conversion before he died. If he was still alive, he'd probably be straight down the MAGA/Qanon rabbit hole by now.


Pete distanced himself from Der Untermensch and ultimately regretted the song. He claims he was “young, stupid, and very ignorant”.

In later years he was almost hippy like in some of his politics. Hated bush, against Iraq war, pro Palestine (likely to Josh’s chagrin), etc.

I agree with I Like Goils though - very juvenile
Like a beavis and butthead parody.

I don’t think he would have gone full maga either. Most in his inner circle and ex band mates are fairly anti trump

"Legal Kill" by King's X. Pretty tone-deaf anti-abortion lyrics. Not as bad as some other anti-abortion songs, because it expresses some genuine doubt as to the validity of the position, but ultimately still an anti-abortion song.

The band Incubus (the death/thrash band, not the more well known alternative rock band), who later became Opprobrium (to avoid being confused with the alternative rock band) is occasionally labeled a Christian band, but usually considered secular. They do have a small number of songs that could be taken as Christian, though.

They have an anti-abortion song, "Massacre of the Unborn".



Here is the re-recorded version of the song they made after renaming themselves Opprobrium:


Also, while certainly not a song by a Christian band, even the song "Silent Scream" by Slayer is an anti-abortion song.

That Slayer song may be the best anti-abortion song I know. I can even give that one a pass.

Its punk, but F* the USA by the Exploited for me. Great song. Being a citizen of the United States, its not exactly a song I want to drive around blasting. I would say its controversial, or at least when it came out.

Yeah, if you want to rock a song that criticizes the US while not attracting the unwanted attention of turbopatriots, you'd better be blasting Born in the USA, these morons still think it's a pro-USA song.

But if they say something, you can jsut say they misheard the lyrics and they're singing "Let's go USA!"

IIRC, Warrel was nearly aborted and thus has strong opinions about it. As for him being liberal, he was what is derisively called a "90s liberal" in that they laugh at gay jokes and stuff that's no longer allowed. I mean, one of the last interviews I heard had him laughing at "he-shes" running around Brazil. Draw your own conclusions.

Anti-abortion songs were pretty common in the early 90's - Silent Scream, Altering the Future by Death, Children's Holocaust by Count Raven...
