I am still trying to navigate the scene of death metal in michigan. And now I am trying to steer clear of the secular bands, and trying to find comradeship with the christian bands.
I have known about Secretion for a while. I forget who I got the CD from. But I had a copy of Reborn. I was at the time wrestling with my identity as a christian and as a metal listener. I would tip toe around the christian music, and would settle my jowls on the secular market.
And that was not fair or right. Its lukewarm, and its the whole issue of hot or cold. It doesn’t mean I cannot enjoy or listen to it, but I generally do try to avoid the secular music as a whole. This is me, I am not you. Do not look at me as an example or a blueprint of how to live your life. Everything I know on this earth, was from trial and error. And yes, it took the hard route to get the best results.
I need to relax and step off the gas on the criticism and judgments of others. And I am sorry, its something terrible, and bad. And I need to quit it. That is the best part of Christianity, is that change and growth is an every day opportunity. There is no be all, end all. Its a marathon not a race.
I really wish that people online would pipe up, and tell me to shove it or actually respond back to me. Because when I do interact with others, I do invite conversation. But I get it, you got me pegged as THIS or THAT, and there is no necessity to even engage in conversation.
I welcome criticism and critique, because honestly. Sometimes I need it, because otherwise I wouldn’t know my own flaws. Because I am an oblivious idiot, in a lot of ways.
I dont even know how I got off on this tangent, but check out some of their music. Its really good. I am looking forward to another full length from them.
