Impending Doom Murderer / Pastor Reaction / Lyrical Analysis

I love Impending Doom and their message. It's not sugar coated, and it's straight forward. I appreciate it alot. Keep up the awesome work guys!

Tell that to Christian Monks who have mantras to sing to for God's glory. Now it is man's purpose to interpret it as they will. Here, I see it happening as a way to reach those of us who are in need of a passionate song to speak over those who tell us otherwise. Just a thought.

Impending Doom?! YES! The message these guys preach is Christian through and through. I think you’ll genuinely enjoy their work

[@sred937]

I'm a Christian, and a devout metalhead, but I don't like Impending Doom's messages through their music. It veers off into religious extremeism, and disgusts me. Imo, music is an expression, and doesn't need a religious tied meaning associated with it

[@tombuchborn]

Sred thank you for saying that. I am an atheist and typically I don't have a problem with worshippy lyrics but some of their songs were lyrically quiet extreme

[@steezysteveofthe9036]

The Bible gets pretty extreme. Just look at Ezekiels visions.

Been a fan of this band since Nailed. Dead. Risen. I finally just saw them live a couple months ago and it was so great. Brooke is smiling the whole time, which is crazy to see with a band this heavy. You can see his passion for Christ and it's awesome.

[@afm-unpluggedunderground8270]

Dude that album was a masterpiece 🔥💯

[@Markilirious]

I can remember myself having a great dialogue with my Pastor. Just a glance through the lyrics and he pointed out lots of theology behind this awesome song. Great sharing!

[@mementomori2839]

I love how excited the Pastor gets when a breakdown hits 😂🤘 (Also, this may be called Gorship as like a joke by the band or something, but it's essentially deathcore).

[@SemperReformanda91]

Crusader Core

[@JusTVIDSE]

Their starts does sound a bit slam-y tho

[@donovancordero551]

It's called gorship because they made "Gore" music

[@jtekavec]

I kinda lost interest when they went full-fledged deathcore, as that genre is really hit or miss for me. But their first album ‘nailed. Dead. Risen.’ Had a lot more grindcore elements to it. That being said, the best part of the video was watching the Pastor get into the breakdown.

[@xxfalconxx3990]

We know that

[@godsmusicarmy1483]

I would love to see you react to “War Music” by Impending Doom! The lyrics are some of the most powerful I have ever heard.

[@davidtrimm4622]

I feel like that would be something great to hear in a religious point of view

[@broc_ursal]

Yes, yes please

I always interpreted this song as a sinner crying out to God and finally realizing what's coming. In the sinners realization he cries out to God saying "I'm a murderer, please forgive me"

[@MyTeamVideos]

I know how much you like Demon Hunter. Impending Doom has a collaboration with the lead singer from demon Hunter, Ryan Clark. The song is called 'My Light Unseen.' This one is definitely worth your time. God bless you Pastor. I love seeing all that's happening with you and your ministry.

[@PleaseForgiveYourself]

That's such a good song

[@TDreamer2]

So Glad you watched this. I've seen Doom 2 times here in TX and they are great. The singer does a mini testimonial during his shows to profess being a christian for 15 years and invites people after the show to meet and greet and talk about any issues they have. He is very friendly and the other guys in the band are great also. Please review some of their other songs.

[@wholeheartedapparelco.2794]

By far my favorite band EVER! They have lots of new stuff out that I’d love to watch and hear your guys thoughts on...

[@gypsytears22352]

Goreship is just a reference to the combination of deathcore and worship. Death metal usually contains gore or violence so the combine the traditional sound of death metal with worship.

[@kingsmiley7067]

Not a christian (was raised catholic) but i do find it interesting to see what devoutly christan people think about different types of music

[@FreshSqueezedLightning]

When you talked about the “repentagram” it made me think of one of my favorite Christian metalcore symbols, made by the band Oh, Sleeper. It’s the pentagram with only the bottom 3 points. It represents the horns being cut off of the pentagram, satan becoming powerless under God’s power

[@dobob3698]

I'd highly recommend reacting to their song, Devil's Den, which was written as a prayer of intercession. I'd also encourage juxtaposing their latest release with their first full-length album: Nailed, Dead, Risen. It's mind-boggling how much their style has evolved over the years, while their message has remained the same.

Not all who listen to Christian music are Christians. Some people just like to yell, I am a murderer. My dad was relieved that I listened to Lamb of God until I told him they are not a Christian band. I listened to Zao for years before finding out they were Christian, when I wasn’t. I just looked them up and they are no longer considered a Christian band, now that I am Christian...

[@lawrence3710]

I've listened to this song so much thinking that it was really dark and crazy but now it makes sense. We killed Christ and he's asking to be washed clean. Glad I saw this video
