Utterly low hanging fruit retardation, an embarrassment and makes Christians look Ridiculous, no matter what scripture or Christ like message anyone tries to justify it with. Just saying... Music is probably as bad as the album cover I have no doubt.

Checked Metal Archives and while there was an entry for a Christian band named Empty Grave (with a surprising amount of s-bombs in the lyrics), it wasnt this one (different logo and this album wasnt listed). Are we sure this is a legit band?

Could be wrong, but judging by the cover alone, it looks possibly like a solo project done by some edgelord. Probably made a home made printed t-shirt of it for the glory of god too, and also gets a kick from the reactions of the shocked the grannies at his church. Then when they complain to the pastor, he probably goes into great detail about the message it conveys and how no one else will reach the wretched souls of the goregrind movement, and how it's his calling to be a light in the darknesss... sound about where its at... face palm

Apparently from Brazil. Some savage stuff happens in Brazil.

Yep, they are from Brazil. Probally the first grindcore Band from here.

If I'm not wrong, they started at 95, a much more innocent time (they thinked that was cool use White Metal , LOL). The band itself was just the vocal and the drummer. Guitars and bass was played by friends from bands like Voilig Hellig and their demo cd sold Very well (to a Christian grindcore Band, of course). 81 songs in 27min. of total musical madness haha

One of the members it's actually a pastor today.

This parte is close of the truth. I have some interviews with them from old brazilian mags. I'll check my archives

And about the sound of Empty Grave...

Interesting, I actually really liked this. It made me want to buy the album where I hadn't purchased Evie's Little Garden. This fits a metal band where the previous album had a cover that didn't fit metal or hard rock for me. Definitely seems like the same artist for both.

by Lex Metalis Mon Aug 08, 2022 9:29 am

TBH, I think that this cover its really hilarious hahaha

God looks at both. We’re to do everything for his glory (1 Cor 10:31), including our art. Too many times we as Christians are too lenient with substandard art.

by Pethead Thu Aug 11, 2022 6:15 pm

Also, you can’t tell me that Empty Grave cover is glorifying to God, no matter what the heart might’ve been behind it.

Too bad God's not buying the albums, and it's people that look at the cover and decide if they want it or not. Wink

by WildWorld Thu Aug 11, 2022 8:18 pm

We're just having fun, we're not mocking the bands themselves, just the cover arts. I'm sure some of these bands have a sense of humor about what they may have released in the past.
