Day of Metal 2007 - The Compilation

So, in my efforts to begin listening to more and more death and black, I picked up this comp. Can anyone confirm that these are Christian artists? Looking at the names, I think I've heard you all mention most of them here. I also seem to remember My Silent Wake as being non-Christian. Any help would be great, thanks!

I'm really liking this Dagon track

Track 5 is also appealing to me.

I have this comp too. 

Dagon isn't Christian but I think has a few Christian members, same with Halcyon Way.  My Silent Wake is not a Christian band but their lyrics are clean.

I don't know about Common Yet Forbidden, The Burning Issue, Kibroth Hataavah, With Faith Or Flames, or Hope Has Failed Us.

The rest are Christian bands to my knowledge.

I think these were bands who played at Cornerstone that year, and so they're all some level of "Christian-scene."  Which, depending on who you ask, may be very different from "Christian."  As noted, My Silent Wake wouldn't fall into "Christian," and what Kerrick says about Dagon is correct.  I believe the same for With Faith or Flames (great band).

Common Yet Forbidden would be considered "Christian" (as well as excellent, IMO, and readily available for cheap, at least as of a few years ago).  I believe Monotheist was "Christian" at the time, but may have backed off of that a couple years back.

Some of these bands (Kibroth Hattaavah) this comp is 100% of what I know about them (good song, I think the name's Hebrew, for whatever that's worth).

I think several years ago The Burning Issue had their ep "Believe the Dream" available as a free download.  I don't know if that's still a thing.

As a side note, I'd add that IMO that Dagon song is from, easily, their least enjoyable album.  Terraphobic absolutely slays PI, IMO, if you're looking into them.

I don't know any of the bands, and I am not into that style of music, but Bombworks (which is part of Retroactive Records) specializes in Christian music..

I'm not sure how Halcyon Way got grouped in with those bands.

Oh?  I checked their EP's lyrics and they seem pretty Christian to me.  Although you probably wouldn't guess it from their singer's Facebook posts haha.  I've known him for years from the old Becoming The Archetype forum; he's a character for sure.  Talented band though.

Track 9 by Kibroth Hataavah is intense. Quickly becoming a favorite!

Thanks for the info so far friends, much appreciated!

"While not a Christian band, Halcyon Way does include several Christian members.  Primary lyricist Jon Bodan was previously in the Christian metal band Final Judgement while lyrical contributions are also made by Zane, who thanks “God (in three persons)” in the liner notes, and Steve Braun, a former member of Siloam."

Front cover as well!

I haven't seen that EP, but when it came out I remember some talk around these parts about them.  And I vaguely remember (I think this is right, could be confused) an interview with him not too long after Unforsaken (which I really, really like, by the way) where he said, I think this is very close, something about how he was questioning or not sure about his previous worldview.  But I have no firsthand knowledge, the lyrics certainly can speak for themselves.

Gotcha.  Thanks for the info!

I'm aware of their Christian connection,  I was referring to their musical style. They're not black, death, or core. But they are awesome.  One of my favorite bands.

  My bad ...



(they are all on Bombworks would be why)

Love me some Dagon. "Terraphobic" is awesome. The album after that (Vindication) was disappointing to me. Wish they were putting out more.

They had released a free EP of cover songs, but I can't find it online. You can listen to them on Youtube.
