SICK! cannot wait for this release.
Definitely anticipating the release of their new album! I own their last three, and I’m sure that I’ll be adding this to my collection as well.
Word.
That would be a nice title for a return to a death metal oriented sound. Too bad they’ve made it all too clear they’re not interested. Still, I’m excited to hear the new stuff, very curious about the album artwork, and look forward to seeing them on the metal alliance tour.
^Yeah. My favorite thing by them is their initial EP. Baptized in Filth, as far as names go, sounds like a sick album regardless. I’m looking forward to it.
…some of their songs are really great imo. …but I don’t like the title of the new album…
Why not? Its Impending Doom, you dont have ta worry about lyrical content too much :)
@ Jake: You’re right regarding the lyrical content when it comes to Impending Doom. I’m sure they don’t promote being baptized in filth or anything like that. For me the question is however, why does the album title refer to or contain a negative aspect again? “Nailed Dead Risen” was a great title but why then “the serpent’s servant” and “there will be violence” (although the latter refers to a verse in the book of revelations I assume)? Since I like the band’s music and message I actually hope I am wrong, but to me it seems as if they are trying to fit in with the general (secular) metal scene (as far as the outward APPEARANCE of their CD’s is concerned). This “concern” on my part actually pertains to many other christian metal- or hardcore bands. Why all the “scary” stuff (like skulls etc.) when it comes to artwork and/or titles? Not that I am intending to attack the bands concerned but I don’t see the need for it. It should be possible to express something positive and uplifting via the artwork and titles (and lyrics of course) and still have a crazy heavy, brutal etc. sound… at least that’s my opinion.
I know what you mean about the title. It sounds kinda secular but… I believe they are regarding Filth to Sin. And that the world has bee Baptized In Filth. When you first see it, it kinda looks weird. But when I place Sin in for Filth talking about the secular world…it makes perfect sense:) We’ll see why they decided on the name soon!
I’m with you. I hate depictions of skulls. Who came up with skulls anyway?
Well I believe it just stems from the whole metal scene being seen as evil, devil worship. Which is not, of course, but CULTURE has lead us and others to believe that regardless of what your message is, the term “metal” is associated death, skulls, etc. Will it ever be changed? Hopefully, but I don’t see it being done soon. At least there are metal artists trying to sway the public that a particular genre of music should be not associated with a particular type of thought. The I.D. cd cover is pretty…….graphic. Check it out if you havn’t already.
The Bible is pretty…graphic.
And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.
Nahum 3:6
MCMB has been moved to that date as well.
That’s awesome news! How did you find that out?
The World Has Been Baptized In Filth [Sin]. I believe that’s what the album name originates from:D
Yeah that’s kinda how I interpret it too.
Worrying about blatantly Christian bands in an extreme music genre for “negative imagery” confounds me. As does taking that position yet saying the title “Nailed. Dead. Risen.” is acceptable. I can understand if it’s a younger person worried about their parents perception of a band they like, but other than that I don’t get it.
While some may judge that negative imagery is about fitting in with a “secular” metal scene, I view extreme genres as being places where honesty is allowed no matter how dark it is. Why write about dark things? Why not?
Despite the completed work of the cross, make no mistake, darkness in our present world is a strong reality. I don’t think you can even find anything in the Christian message that is beautiful and positive that doesn’t have some darkness attached to it in some manner. Conceptually, positivity can’t even exist as a distinction without negativity. The need for Christ is authenticated and magnified by the existence of darkness and the freedom to use “scary” imagery actually frees up Christian artists to be more honest than most when communicating that need.
I would recommend challenging one’s own perception/values or sticking to the genre of CCM. Even that’s not safe, though. There’s too much talk about the cross, which is terribly frightening imagery that I won’t detail here since it’s not my intention to offend.
…no offence taken. But wouldn’t you agree that there is a huge difference between “Nailed Dead Risen” and simply “Nailed Dead”? The “Risen” part is what makes the message extremely positive! I don’t have a problem if something negative or even scary is displayed to bring a good message across. Of course light is best displayed amidst darkness. But when e.g. a skull (or a “negative” title) is used merely for the purpose to create a “tough” or “brutal” look and feel (I hope most christian hardcore and metal bands don’t do that) i take the liberty to question it’s use (what then makes the use different from the cover of a Slayer record?) …maybe I should stick to the genre of CCM… the problem is just that it offers very few breakdowns and growls:-)
I wouldn’t. The crucifixion is a means to an end (The Gospel, which is the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ), but the means is what it is regardless of the end. The means in this case being a man beaten beyond recognition, flogged, and nailed to a cross, hanging naked, until his last breath.
What I’m seeing is that for you it’s not really about scary or negative imagery. It’s more about Christian music looking so similar to “secular” music, right? I get the biblical reasons you would find to take that approach, but man, that’s a lot of work and I’m not sure it’s worth it or that it’s even an accurate interpretation of being an alien in the world. There’s nothing inherently evil about skulls. Should it really matter if Slayer and Christian bands use them? Who created this world? Who designed the human skeletal structure? I don’t think being in the world but not of the world is about surface things and making sure I don’t use skulls to be brutal. Are there even any actual consequences if they’re used to be brutal?
I used to think that way about some things, but it was a lot of work and I don’t think I did anything for the kingdom but judge and ostracize myself from unbelievers, and even believers that I didn’t agree with, which made me a near useless vessel in hindsight. What I prioritize now is action. Actually loving and serving other people through actions for Christ. I think it’s a lot more fun and effective than how I used to question and worry about things that may be inconsequential. That’s been my experience, anyway.
I would stick to CCM if the extent of all my problems were just a couple of dents in my fender and a couple rips in my jeans and the only thing that made me mad was losing my keys. :)
I love you.
hahaha definitely just tweeted that
Some random, interesting news that I didn’t know… Ryan Clark is doing guest vox on the new ID record.
