I stumbled upon this band's myspace page today and thought the layout looked pretty cool. I decided to listen to a song to see if this band was any good. It turned out that I really enjoyed their music. Then, upon further review of this black metal band, I found out that the band members were personally Christians. I was quite surprised, because I figured that a "christian black metal band" would be extremely sh[COLOR="White"]i[/COLOR]tty. Their lyrical themes feature fantasy and heritage, and they aren't a "christian band" per say. They just happen to be christian.
Anyways, if you like their stuff, I would advise downloading the album. It is all pretty good. My favorite song on this album is Mortal Serenity.
Slechtvalk's At the Dawn of War:

Black Metal

Yeah, most of it is. It is also often called unblack metal.
Anyways, I don't think this artist is terrible unlike many of the white metal bands. However, this band does not consider themselves white metal. They just happen to be christians on the side, which I thought was interesting with the black metal image.
edit @ your edit: Like I said, this band doesn't promote religion. They just happen to be christians on the side. Their lyrical themes mainly consist of heathenism, fantasy, and heritage.
Personally, I prefer my "black metal" without religious or political agenda's. That said, Slechtvalk isn't horrible. Not exactly impressed though.
Do you guys consider satanism a religion or not? A lot of people do. Just wondering what your opinion is.
Depends on the angle it's approached from. Some people just use Satan etc. for shock value, and others use it from philosophical or religious perspective.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
