    Not super metally but five iron frenzy’s song “in through the out door” is pretty decent though I’m not sure how well the christian based attack on conservatives will go over

      Is it a cover of the Led Zeppelin song of the same name? I used to listen to Five Iron Frenzy in high school when I was still a Christian.

      It’s cool to hear that they are real Christians who act like Christ would and defend the downtrodden like they’re supposed to. I would think that criticism aimed towards conservatives from a famous Christian band would have more impact, not less.

        doesn’t seem to be, from the opening “They’re at the fences , They’re at the border , Your brand new gospel , Deny them any quarter , You’ll want a blockade , You’ll draw your swords , God save your sovereignty , From syndicated crime-lords , Completely righteous , Save a little slandering , God blessed your district , With lies and gerrymandering , This revolution will not be televised , Unless ethics can suddenly be advertised”

          Cool. A political message is right at home with their sound. I’m impressed that they’re willing to piss off a large portion of their fan base with these lyrics. Right on.
