My buddy 'drawnsword' encouraged me to join here about a year ago. Since I'm becoming more active in music again, I thought it might be worthwhile to register and see what's up.
I'm pretty rusty with forums and message boards... it's been a long time, so apologies in advance if I screw up.
So... hello evereyone.

Hello and welcome! I hope you feel right at home here. It's a good community if I do say so myself. Can you tell us a little about yourself? What are some of your favorite Christian black metal bands?

Welcome! Are you involved in any projects, or active in music in other ways?

Sure, well, I'm the guy behind Rotting Serpent, Exalted Saviour, Hated, Photosynthesis, MelchizedeK, etc., etc., and most recently Mourning Woods.
My favorite Christian bands, particularly, are probably Dodenstorm, Flaskavsae, and Agathothodion, although I'm sure there are others.
Lately I haven't been listening to a lot of Christian metal. When I listen to Christian music it's more of the traditional variety, Gregorian/Byzantine chant, or older hymns; Stuff like Petra and Ray Boltz, or Waterdeep/1000 Portraits "Enter the Worship Circle."
Black Metal-wise, I pretty much listen to anything atmospheric, blackgaze, postblack, or nature themed, Christian or otherwise.

I've listened to Comfort 15+ times -- I really enjoy it. Welcome, bro.

Hey what's up, I'm the guy who messaged you a couple months ago about uploading the Baptist Church demo on YouTube!

Oh nice! What's up man? Yeah, thanks for doing that. I really have nothing in the way of advertisement, so I'm really appreciative when others share my music around.
Maybe someday I'll actually record something decent, lol.
...maybe.

I really like that untitled EP. I haven't actually heard a lot of your other [metal] music - I can't seem to find it. Like there seems to be only one or two Rotting Serpent songs on YouTube.

you know what, I think I found your hated demo on here originally.
Come to think of it, I think you (Michael) and I have very similar tastes in black metal, which is pretty cool

As an artist, one can only hope that their material finds it's way around different places (as opposed to spamming, which I do enough of on fb I suppose). I had toyed with the idea of joining some of these forums for a long time, just never did. Yeah, I think our black metal tastes are pretty similar. Anything with a Hipster quality! haha jk (although in my own case, not really). Thanks bro!

I'm actually working on some new stuff at the moment for Mourning Woods, recorded a couple songs last night. Should be.... interesting... to say the least. It might actually push the booundaries somewhat of what makes metal "metal." Then again, it might just be a bunch of nonsense, haha. Could go either way, honestly.

Any link to full album listening, esp. for the Christian Funeral album? Unfortunately no, but I've been meaning to (somewhat) remaster the last two RS albums ("Breathless Mourning" and "Christian Funeral") and re-upload (or re-release) them. So, your inquiry may motivate me to do that sooner than later.

Right on. Whatever you're down for. Just know that I would totally listen to them!

I'm listening to and enjoying Hated's Comfort album, which I think is fantastic. I thought I'd share that I remember the first time I listened to this album and I was not feeling it at all (like "I'll likely never listen to this again" type not feeling it). I think it was because it was the first music of this genre I had listened to and I was confused by ... the entire sound. But I really, really like it now and I play it fairly frequently. It's also one of the albums I go to when I am in some certain spiritual distress, so it has been, in fact, a comfort. Anyways, that's all. Thanks for the music, Michael.

Just listened to the Comfort release. Pretty much like Xasthur, only better, haha :-D Well done! Is that release to purchase anywhere?

Just listened to the Comfort release. Pretty much like Xasthur, only better, haha :-D Well done! Is that release to purchase anywhere? I think if you emailed him, he would gladly send you the files. I don't think it is purchasable.

I think I still have access to his Facebook. Would you like me to message him @solafide ?

Thanks, warbound and nocturnal, but I am kind of old-school when it comes to listening to music. I always want to buy compact discs or vinyl - one reason behind that is to support the artist at least marginally from a finance perspective. I love youtube and bandcamp and all that stuff because they help me to filter in advance and not to purchase on a trial-and-error-basis. But once I have found something interesting, I am rather interested in getting a physical output, so to say.

I feel you, bro. I'd actually love a physical copy of that album. @solafide

I was going to ask him if he had CDs available, but apparently he's since deactivated his FB account. Contacted a mutual friend, and even they don't know where he went.
