Once Again!

Once again God proves Himself to be a real, existing being, and one who cares about us!

I returned to Metal Archives, primarily for promotion reasons for bands who work with my record label, but also to make some random updates. I was going to submit another band when God told me not to, that I should wait and a more important band would come up. (This is relevant because there is a limit of 15 bands you can have in the submission queue at any given time.) This honestly seemed silly to me as nothing of the sort seemed apparent, but I decided to listen anyway. I didn't listen other times and was wrong!

Today rolls around. I release an album for an artist... and I realize, it's time to submit that artist to the archives! Had I not listened to God, I wouldn't have had any space left in the queue to submit that artist!

Satanic lyrics with Biblical citations

In the interest of evangelism, I took lyrics from secular black metal band 1349 and added Biblical citations next to each line, to sort of help illustrate a message I've been trying to convey to the secular scene for a long time: Their aims and interests are NOT so different from ours. They think we are polar opposites, but in reality, many of the wishes and interests placed in their hearts were placed there as creations of God, not as creations fallen away from God. I may do more of these depending on interest and conviction... One note however: The KJV translates Isaiah 45:7 as "I create evil". This is based on outdated English. In modern English, God does not create "evil". God creates trials - hardship, natural calamities, etc.
