They're a Jehovah's Witness band, no doubt.

Since many fundamentalist Protestants view Catholics, practicing Jews, and Jehovah's Witnesses as non-Christians, though, they're not really Christian or something.

Understand?

They use Judeo-Christian themes, but I don't consider them to be a Christian Band per se. At least, not by my standards. I used to listen to Christian Rock, and the songs generally talk about Christianity directly. Unless it went right over my head (probably did), BG doesn't directly reference Christianity, just icons from the mythos for symbolic effect.

Does it matter if they're christian?

Killswitch Engage is a "christian" band, but so is Creed. So it's obviously not an indication of a particular quality.
If nothing else, harsh noises get your attention.

Gah, Nailz why did bring this in here? Oh right... sadistic. :?

Alright, since I know how much you love this topic, Nailz, I'll clear it up. They aren't a Christian band. Hansi (vocals) is almost Christian, but he's not and neither are the others. I won't elaborate on their beliefs because I'm sure very few people care... but I answered the question. :P

Blind guardian's religious beliefs include "LIGHTNING BOLT, and SLEEP" But mostly it just revolves around being very experienced Dungeon Masters.

I'd say they're more of a catholic band rather than christian though I definitely see some jewish influence in 'The Soulforged'....good times good times....


btw, nailz is a crazy bastard who downloads pRon in his aunt's computer :o..oh it's true...
