“Christian Rock”, the genre often scoffed at by traditional rock artists, enthusiasts & critics alike is gaining popularity and stamping its place as a sort after genre for the young generation of head-banging, mosh-pitting gurus! Didn’t Christian rock die a couple of years ago, you ask? Christian rock music is growing faster than ever before with Daily News of Christian Rock Music, new artists & albums streaming across the Internet and pumping the airways continuously every day. So where did this religious music come from? I mean this is new right?
This type of rock music wasn’t around 20 years ago, was it? Well I didn’t think so until recently, the reality is Christian music or should I say Christian rock music has been around seemingly since the dawn of creation! So why seeing it today all the time? Where were the God Rocker’s for so long and what happened to the voice of damnation for those participating in anything other than a church hymn or Sunday school choir? The chastity belt of today’s Christian rock is alive and kicking. There are many religious organisations who oppose this form of music, I will talk more about this opposition later.
Most Christians are in favor of this “movement” feeling that Christian rock music is another way to reach people with the importance of the Christian faith. So why the controversy?, what is so different about Non-Christian rock music in comparison to Christian rock? Many have asked this question and instead of quoting Mr. Bob Dylan “the answer is blowing in the wind”, I thought I would analyze the facts and see why there is so much “opposition” to the sounds of “thumping grace”. After reviewing many rock & heavy metal music bands and performances and then compared them to their Christian counterparts, I did see differences but not many! The stage performance was very similar with the exception of Non-Christian heavy metal revealing more of a dark or sadistic side at times in general there was little if no difference in presentation from Christian rock to standard or Non-Christian music. The only real difference I could see was in the lyrical content, with Christian rock music singing words from the Bible and preaching family values.
So why was Christian rock music introverted for so many years, seemingly hiding in the shadows from more upright members of the Christian community? Well apparently they weren’t hiding at all, it’s just that I like many people didn’t even know they were around back then! Good old fashioned Christian rock bands like Petra, Stryper, Bloodgood, Whitecross and Tourniquet have been rocking Christians and secular music lovers alike for generations.
The voice of rock damnation is still screaming louder than ever in some Christian circles although seemingly falling on deaf ears of a Christian Rocker community that grows bigger every day. Who opposes this Christian liberation? Who else but other Christians! It seems some segments of who have not advanced to modern day sounds are Bible bashing these Christian rock music head bangers with eternal consequences for their “misguidance”. The most dramatic example I came across was the seventh day adventist (SDA) church who proclaim that Christian rock music is quote “Devil music”. The seventh day adventist church preach that all rock music has the “beat of the devil” borrowed from primate heathen rituals, beating in time with the body’s “natural rhythms”. I found it hard to believe that people could think this way at first, but indeed it is true and the SDA church is serious about stamping out any and all rock music, or anything for that matter that has a drum beat!
Rather difficult to determine its sure is when music heavy metal born. According to some observers, character heavy metal in music rock first time heard at songs “You Really Got Me Now” – of The Kinks and “My Generation” from The Who, around year of 1964. While performing artist heavy first metal can be given to Alice Cooper with the band The Spiders build by the year 1965 far before he is recognized wide through the hit “Love It to Death” at 1971.Heavy metal itself has just been really emerging to surface in the year 1967.
During the year, rock band still be blanketed spirit of Summer Of Love which brought by the hippie. But world soon witness revolution in playing music through the pioneer hard music like Golden Earring ( build the year 1965), Cream, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Led Zeppelin, Vanilla Fudge, Iron Butterfly, Steppenwolf, Blue Cheer, Deep Purple, Grand Funk Railroad, Free, Uriah Heep, Mountain, Humble Pie, Blood Rock, MC5, Black Widow, Atomic Rooster, Cactus and Black Sabbath.
Heavy metal which in the form of initially known as Hard Rock, grows along the length of period 1966 to 1970 and disturbs world through with what called by Steppenwolf, sound Heavy Metal Thunder. In the time spread, new music type which many borrowing elements rock nitrogen ‘ roll and blues.
Albums like “Are You Experienced” and Electric Lady land yielded by this group, so admired by many people of the trio is music stage king rock end 60 together Janis Joplin and The Doors.
Then many new bands popped out in firm music line. Foghat and Bad Company which bluesy, Budgie which is hard and UFO born from explosion heavy metal before all, others rock band which there have like Status quo, starts loudely their sound.
But until the year 1973, the king heavy metal music held by 3 name, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, Hard rock, and then heavy metal, defined by third of this group. Technique mainstay, composition of music and spirit of previous rock have never been met, there is in body the three.
