Sorry I wasn't clear Joe...I said "the music". Not all music. I would not imply that you think all music is sin. Just "the music", where "the" implies the topic of this thread.

I'm simply saying you are presupposing that metal music is inherently evil.

Here's a question...is all instrumental music evil? If the answer is yes, then metal music could be considered evil, as it is mainly instrumental. However, then so too is the introduction that the organist plays at church without the choir and congregation singing.

If the answer is no, then there is no foundation to say "the music" is inherently evil. Godly men and women may be using their talents to glorify God.

Why can't somebody who is a talented guitar player, bass player, drummer, etc. glorify God by playing extremely challenging and difficult (and in many cases quite intricate and precise) music?
