MONSTER

Skillet's new CD "Awake" is awesome! Some great songs to rock your face off and some that provoke thought and some self reflection. Below is the video of their song "Monster", it rocks! However there is one part in it that seems a little....amateurish. Can you pick it out?

Better Than the Origional

I love music, it's a huge part of who I am. While hard rock is my preferred style, I'll listen to just about any style of music out there. OK, not country music, but anything else. I really like when an older song, such as a hymn, is remade into today's styles of music. Such is the case with the song below, give it a listen. The group is called "Brothers of the Empty Tomb". They're out of Mars hill church in Seattle,WA.

Female Rockers

Over the the last ten years or so the "Christian Music" industry has changed a lot, and it can't be more true when it comes to that of hard rock. It used to be that only the "best" bands were a bunch of "church acceptable" looking guys that just happened to play music. That's not the case any more. Today the look and sound of most bands has changed, and I must say it's for the better.

The music today is a lot edgier, harder and in your face. The cool thing is, it's more blatant about spreading the the truth of the gospel as well as the person and message of Jesus. It seems like in the past that bands would try and hide their message in order to get that bigger contract or to get the cross-over radio play. I don't think people had much respect for that. People want to know what a band is all about, what ever it may be.

Not only has the music and the message gotten better, but the face of a lot of bands has changed. Once dominated by men, women have taken over as the lead vocals of many new metal bands. I have to say, I was once skeptical of having a woman being the lead of a hard rack band. Not because I didn't think a woman could do it, it's just that up until recently there were very few and the ones that were around weren't any good. That is not the case any more!

If you like hard rock, check out some of the bands I've listed below ( in no particular order). They all have a great sound and a greater message. Let me know in the comments section of any other new bands out there, I'm always looking for new music.

Flyleaf, Breaking The Silence, Ilia, Fireflight,
