Growing up more into rap and hip hop, I didn’t get into metal until much later in my life. Around high school, was when I started to get really into the harder metal. And with that was my introduction to whole Norwegian black metal and death metal for that matter. Those people really did take this music to places no one thought possible, and unfortunately for all the wrong reasons. Destroying churches, and killing friend or foe, and ultimately one too obsessed with death, he goes and does himself in. And the ones around it, all relish in it as entertainment and notoriety. Its evil, and of the worst kind.
This short documentary goes over several Christian men in the black metal scene. And its really a perplexing and serious take. Because the feelings and emotions of believers and unbelievers, is definitely the pinnacle and source of all contention.
I know for myself, growing up, I was more concerned about pleasure and satisfying my every carnal urge. I had this aching sin, in me, and I had this wrestling spirit that wanted to contend with good and morality. It didn’t make any sense. So I spiraled out, and took every step to try and end the ride as quick as possible. When I got into a auto mobile accident, and I saw my mother in tears when she saw the car. I had several different feelings, one was stupidity, and regret, and another, that I had never seen my mom in such a rough emotional state. I know in her mind, it was because she couldn’t believe that I made it out alive. And stories like mine, are not all that unique, angels of heaven are out and protecting people every day. But the naked eye cannot see it.
I really enjoyed this video, because Crimson Moonlight, next to Extol and Antestor are three of my favorite bands in the Scandinavian scene of metal. And they aren’t it either, there are many more. In all regions of the world. And these men and women are out there putting their lives on the line, and sharing the gospel and message of Christ. And yes, I know nobody can contend with the growling and screaming. But let me tell you, if it wasn’t for them, then the people lost in satanic music would have nothing to draw them into Christianity in the first place.
