Christian Hardcore: Is That An Oxymoron?

I read a review on CDNow.com recently of Zao's Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest LP. They described Zao's message as "holy/evil." If critics are confusing the Christian hardcore scene to such an extent, it is time that we Christians stand up and proclaim the benefits of these holy messages, no matter how muddled they may be within all the distorted noise.

There will remain those who disagree with this approach to bringing in lost children/young adults who frequent the hardcore and punk clubs. There will remain friends in my life who will scold some of my more disturbing Christian CDs. There may even be those who will lose respect for me because of the brand of music I listen to. As far as I'm concerned, God is the One who introduced me to this music and it is a strong stream of ministry. Do not compromise your faith for the warnings of those less holy than yourself. Take it up with God. And rock on.
