Showbread...christian band?

All right, how to start this.......I know! I just saw this new music video of Showbread's, The Pig, as it is called and when I watched it, it gave me a very awkward feeling. That song and many more weird songs came of their newest album Nervosa. It gets really creepy when you hear “my soul is cheap, lay on top of me” twice after the course said in what sounds like a demonic voice.
The video shows women in pig masks while holding knives over a kitchen island and it flashes between their actual phantom like faces and the mask of a pig. There also is where another woman with a pig mask is doing a weird dance behind what looks like a shower curtain. The sense around the video would give really anyone a weird feeling.


With another song in the album, The Journey, In the beginning they scream, “Open me up just like a vacuum sucking in the dirt, Put it all inside me baby, Hear, speak, see and rise like Leviathan, Armor plated, fire breathing” Rise like Leviathan? In Isaiah 27:1 it speaks about Leviathan being a monster the Lord will slay. In this song the lead vocalist of Family Force 5 makes a guest appearance during the course.


It not only is their scremo sound but their image. With the lead singer wearing eye liner and eye shadow with his long hair, he tends to look some what like a girl. In Deuteronomy 22:5 it says for men to not dress as women. I don't know but the net stalkings I really don't think men should be wearing.
When asked a question by jesusfreakhideout.com they gave a very interesting answer,

JFH (Scott): Now you guys always do things in your own way. You're gonna do things how you want, if it means you're gonna be strange or outcasts, you're gonna do it anyways. And you've gotten a lot of scrutiny because of it. How do you guys deal with that?


Josh: Um... that's a good question actually.

JFH (Scott): See? I knew it.

Josh: Good job. Well, we deal with it in one of two ways, Scott. On one hand, to a certain degree, I really like our band, musically. I mean, I know it's nothing we're doing, it's just that God lets us write the music we wanna write, and I really enjoy it. You know, we get to play whatever we wanna play. So, criticism comes in these weird ways. Some kids are like "I just don't like it," and that's fine, you know? Then there are other kids who say "This is how you did it wrong." Like "You should've done this, you should've done that." It's sometimes frustrating, cause you wanna just say, "Then go make your own record! Then you can do whatever you want. We did exactly what we wanted to do, and we did it exactly the way it was supposed to be. You had nothing to do with it, so you can't tell us whether or not it was correct or incorrect. You can tell us you don't like it, and that's fine, I don't care about that." But, I mean that's just how it is with music. People are really into being able to say whether or not they approve of something. So you just kinda have to believe that in the end, we did what we were supposed to do, and I am 100% satisfied with it, and we did what God wanted us to do. And He's gonna do with it what He wants to do regardless. And people say it doesn't sound like whatever hardcore band, and whatever.

What WE wanted, isn't our music to glorify the Lord. In Psalms 33:1-3 it reads, “Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him. Praise the Lord with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre. Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.” It says to 'Sing' praise not scream.


Another problem I have is, yes I understand when people come to Jesus and they have tattoos, but I think it's another thing to be a Christian and GET a tattoo. In Leviticus 19:28, “Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord!” Their image is very questionable.


That's why I'm always told to use discernment even with 'Christian' music. These Christian record company's need to check their bands and see who bears the fruit, “Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.” Matthew 7:20.


It's really sad when bands like these and Devil Wears Prada, Inhale Exhale and so on; become more of what the christian youth listen to. Be discerning and keep your eyes peeled and in the words of Josh mcdowell, Don't check your brains at the door.
