Music is poetry, and poetry is about having the freedom to write your own thoughts and beliefs. What you are promoting is quite the opposite of freedom. I think you take yourself far too seriously.
The term Christian metal is redundant. As well as viking metal, satanic metal and similar. They all express ideologies and in reality can be easily put into "real" categories such as black metal, death metal, thrash metal etc. The "real" genres are categorized by musical differences. Vocals, guitars etc. This "ideology" metal doesn't deserve to be among all those genres. If say, a black metal band has lyrics solely about nature, will they call themselves Nature metal? No, of course.
I agree. We can thank metal blade for the stupid "white metal" genre they labelled bands like trouble as when they clearly said from the beginning they were not "Christian metal" but doom or thrash etc. “It was Metal Blade. Back then they called all of it ŽBlack MetalŽ, yŽknow, Slayer, Danzig, etc., all those bands, they are ŽBlack MetalŽ, so I didn't grow up believing in all that crap and I think that people didn't believe in it either. It was a question about marketing your band in some way, so I had to do it. So I did this. Metal Blade called us as a “White Metal band” and I just wished they didn't. ” —Eric Wagner on Trouble's white metal label in an interview with Metal-Rules.com, January 2004. “ In another source he further explains: "I was brought up catholic, but you have to remember, back in the early 1980s, all the metal was kind of satanic, and I did not get into that vibe." He has implied that Metal Blade (or the owner Brian Slagel) actually came up with the term in the first place: "I think it was more like Metal Blade trying to be cute or something, with everything (satanic metal) being called black metal, so why not call us white metal, which is a bunch of crap."
