Here...
The title is a reference to the Hebrew name Beelzebub (בעל זבוב, Baal-zvuv, "god of the fly") a synonym for Satan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_of_the_Flies[/b]

There is nothing about this band that give glory to God. I agree with bluecolarchristian.....

Since finding this i had to sign up and bring back this thread.

None of these songs are anti christian

Children of the damned is based on the movie.

The Clansman.... if you would actually read the lyrics you could see its about medieval scotland .Steve harris, the bassist said " It Started as two separate ideas, then put them together and it worked! It's got a Celtic flavour to the music which is why I wrote the lyrics about the Scottish clans. They were inspired also by the Braveheart and Rob Roy films. " VERY EVIL Eh?

The Wicker man - the lyrics seem to highlight the general apathy of our modern society and our egoistic disinterest in what is happening in the world until something actually happens to us and we get "knocked to our feet"

Lord of the flies is based on the book. This is an energetic type of song, whose lyrics glorify the animal nature that is inherent inside all people. This theme is also dominant in the story told in 'The Edge Of Darkness', where a man, dwelling in the depths of a jungle and freed of all social constraints turns to unspeakable savagery.

Before you try and call iron maiden a satanic band, actually read their lyrics and know what their songs are about

I love it how all the seventies and eighties rock n rollers are getting so old and realizing theyve drank too much and done too many drugs that penitence has found its way to their music. hehe.

Ozzy, Motley Crue, REO Speedwagon, Iron Maiden, Spinal Tap (lol), Queen....they all rocked.....but now theyre all mad cuz MTV ruined music forever. lol

MTV Ruining Iron maiden? are you kidding me? They have barely had ANY support from mtv or the radio. Iron maiden were not druggies at all and still are one of the biggest and best bands around today.

I was just bein fecetious. They rock, regardless

and mtv ruined music as a whole. lol

Speaking of conversions within the heavy metal community, how about the conversion of Brian "Head" welsh, the founding member of Korn? He gave his life to the Lord and left the band.

Huh...I sometimes wonder about rumors like that, if it's true then it's awesome. I know Flyleaf was touring with KoRn a lot the last year or so, and they say they are Christians. I kinda questioned that from a band that toured with KoRn, but I think it would be awesome if they were involved in that.

Montsegur
stand alone in this desolate space. In death they are truly alive.
Massacred innocence, evil took place. The angels were burning inside.

Centuries later I wonder why. What secret that they took to their grave.
Still burning heretics under our skies. Religion still burning inside.

At the gates and the walls of MontsÃ©gur. Blood on the stones of the citadel.

As we kill them all so god will know his own. The innocents died for the pope on his throne.
Catholic greed and its paranoid zeal. Curse of the grail and the blood of the cross.

Templar believers with blood on their hands. Joined in the chorus to kill on demand.
Burned at the stake for their soul's liberty. To stand with the Cathars to die and be free.

The book of old testament crippled and black. Satan his weapon is lust.
Living this evil damnation of flesh, back to the torture of life.
The perfect would willingly have died at the stake and all of their followers slain.
As for the knowledge of god they had claimed. Religion still burning inside.

At the gates and the walls of MontsÃ©gur. Blood on the stones of the citadel.

As we kill them all so god know his own. The innocents died for the pope on his throne.
Catholic greed and its paranoid zeal. Curse of the grail and the blood of the cross.

Templar believers with blood on their hands. Joined in the chorus to kill on command.
Burned at the stake for their soul's liberty. Still burning heretics under our skies.

As we kill them all so God WILL know his own. Laugh at the darkness and in God we trust.
The eye of the triangle smiling with sin. No passover feast for the curse of within.

Facing the sun as they went to their grave. Burn like a dog or you live like a slave.
Death is the price for your soul's liberty. To stand with the Cathars and to die and be free.

At the gates and the walls of MontsÃ©gur. Blood on the stones of the citadel.

I have never listened to Iron Maiden... but what I get from this song is not a glorification of what happened to the Cathars, but rather a stinging indictment against the Roman Catholic church for killing so many of them "in the name of God".....

Let's all remember that 99% of "evil" or "Satanic" music is made simply to make money. It's the shock value of being evil and preying on the rebellious teen-aged mind that these bands do what they do. I can attest to the fact that the vast majority are not satanic...hedonistic, but not satanic.

I always picture myself in my living room listening to music with Jesus. Would he like the tunes I'm wondering about? If the answer is no, then I can make the right decision.
