I just finished listening to their song, "Writing on the Walls" and these guys are some of the best I have heard in a long time! What's interesting is that they consider themselves "Christian Hardcore"

Christian Hardcore? That name has so many different possible interpretations...

- A hardcore Christian
- Hardcore for Christian music (one step above mary had a little lamb?)
- Hardcore music that is Christian (JEEESSSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSS ARRGH?)

I don't mean to ridicule Christian music, but "Christian Hardcore" seems a tad oxymoronic to me.

I love Underoath.(check my userbars) They are a christian band. Their last 2 cd's have been great. I wasn't a big fan of their first cd. I'm glad they got a new lead singer. Favorite song is "In Regards to Self."
Favorite song on old album. HERE is the music video for it.
HERES the video for "Writing on the Walls."

I'm not a huge fan to be honest. They're just another screamo band to me. Nothing different from the 50 odd screamo bands I know.

It is a bit oxymoronic. Hardcore generally represents anti-system. Christianity is not anti-system.

Exactly, they bore the crap out of me. And I found them just as boring before I knew they were Christian.

No, the culture that generally goes along with hardcore scenes is "anti-system." Hardcore is really just a type of music though. Christian hardcore blows.

I was blind,, nothing I could do on my own
Turn, we have found a way to see, look up... feel the Almighty
Take control as we gaze into your eyes
We're just the tool you use to bring this world to you
Oh, Lord, how we love you
With your grace, take away the hurt and the bruises inside,
reach down let your glory reside
The cross carried for all of us, paint the image in my mind
So I will never think I am something,
but nothing am I but you, you are something
Lord you keep me alive, you give me rest at night
When there seems no way to find calmness in the storm you come and
take me in your arms and then the waves drown me no more
With you I'll last this battle and many others
Through the ages your name will reigh forever... never to be replaced
In these trials I face, I pray you humble me
Humble me I want to be like you Jesus more and more like you
I was crucified on that day with Christ
Nailing you there with sin, accepting you
I nailed my soul to the cross and now my life begins
This world so cold but your love keeps me warm
My father holds me in his nailed scarred hands which I put there
But for some reason he still loves me with all his heart
Even through I betray him constantly
He always keeps his arms open waiting, till I give up my old was
God my father, you are the only one that can give me comfort
You touch my heart in such a way that all I can do is cry your name
Jesus Christ I love you
My heart aches for your love

**** those stupid ****s.

Why? Because they wrote a Christian song? Seems kinda ignorant to say that. But what can you expect from atheists.

No, because it's whiny crap. It sickens me.

Yeah, Christians are so persecuted.

Seriously, no you wouldn't be warned/deleted/suspended if you did so. If you truly believe that crap, then go post something like that there, right now.

edit: I just realized what it may look like... "that crap" means what you said about how you'd be suspended, not... what it might mean. :wink:

I COULD be a member of Underoath, who knows? Sorry I was just in a Christian-persecution mood yesterday.

It would be really cool if a member of underOATH was on this site. Would emo partly describe these guys?

Erm these guys all prolly weigh under 125 pounds and seem very emoish to me. Their voices are good, but alot of people have good voices, that certainly doesn't get you anywhere these days.

Underoath was awful when I saw them at warped, but I was backstage.
