Back to the music!

New Creation wrote:I'm done discussing the theology stuff for now.

I find that lately I've been resorting to music from my teenage years. Old classics like Tourniquet, Deliverance, some alt-rock. Basically, tried and true music that has stood the test of time. Often, I get overwhelmed with how much new stuff there is. Just when you conquer one genre, another one creeps around the corner that simply must be explored. Then, once you've conquered that, you learn that there is the whole European continent putting music out and then you start all over!

So, what's been rocking your socks off lately?

mychildren mybride - Unbreakable, Lost Boy, Self Titled
been listening to all 3 of their albums, getting stoked for their new album which will be out in the next few months

Seventh Avenue - Terium, Southgate, Tales Of Tales
been jamming a lot of power metal, went back and recently bought Tales of Tales and just picked up Eternals

Convictions - I Will Become
Kinda wrote these guys off as a generic secular band

Recently checked out their lyrics and was blown away! They are easily one of the most Christ centered metalcore bands out there today
They call themselves Aggressive Worship

Lyrics: Have I lost myself? Have I forgotten who I am? Four years later, I’m still a broken man. Part the sea that separates you from me. Limb by limb, rip me apart. Open up my chest. Give me a change of heart. God, I’ve forgotten how to feel. God, change my life with passion. I’ve built a kingdom of none with sand and stone. The hands work and wither. I pray; let your will be done. I will rise above the ashes just let Your will be done within me. Breathe in me. Lord shape me and mold me with passion.

Lyrics: How can I become a man of God when in my mind I’m a man of a million lovers? All my secrets kept deep beneath the covers. My eyes twitch and twist. Oh what a mess my portrait has become. What will I become? My desire for love is tainted. How am I the picture you painted? My canvas is nothing. My colors are disgusting. It's haunting me. I'm so terrified that I won't break free. It follows me. These earthly addictions are consuming me. Corruption corrodes my true reflections. What kind of gentleman possesses these intentions to hide these filthy afflictions? Will I ever look at a woman in pure thought again, or will I fulfill these slutty fantasies in my head? Am I imprisoned in this never ending sin? Free me from lust. Restore my innocence. Sex sells! I was born into a world of sin; predestined to let these voices in. It's following me to the point of breaking. My rotting soul is Your’s for the taking. She was my home. The house of lust kept me warm at night but You pry open my eyes. The house of lust was a house of lies. I lost myself walking to a home that was burnt down years ago. Don't let me wither away. What will I become?

I know what you mean about the seemingly unending subgenres, I try to keep up but it ain't easy (or cheap if your like me and buy what you really like).
