Just a quick response, thanks.

I've listened to it but I wouldn't say it's Christian. It's worldly for sure.

Short answer: No

Longer Answer: Depends, what are you looking for? Something lawful to listen to, or something edifying?

I skimmed through lyrics throughout some of the albums ( I don't even bother listening to the music, I rather see what they are trying to tell me) and it ambiguous. I can listen to this in a church, and I can easily listen to this in a club. Which means that, without listening to the music, im going to assume that there's alot of cool beats going on. Some of the earlier work does condone more of a party life though. But more recent work doesn't mention, its more melancholy, which is the trend going on with alot of the pop and rnb music today, a melancholy lyrics to a hynoptic EDM beat.

Tell me if im wrong about that.

I wouldn't gravitate towards it, I don't see how much the music can offer than its beats. When im going through low times, its the lyrics that grabs me. But if you're looking for just beats then I would listen precautiously.

I know the band appears to be, and they as well have some christian songs like "be somebody".

Post listening:

Its talking about shaken it up in the club, so definately not a christian song.

I'll give you an exercise ( Im doing this too). Before hearing a song, look up the lyrics first. Access it, and see if its good for your soul, or bad for your soul. If its bad, don't listen. If its good, listen with caution. Sensational stuff is very powerful, and we have a way to recall beats and words to them without warrant. So guard your heart.

A simple test: Who is it glorifying?

The "musicians" are trying to hit the notes, glorifying themselves.

Its about judgment day and the fact that people who believes in Jesus go to heaven.

"I am not afraid of the storm that comes my way
When it hits, it shakes me to the core
And makes me stronger than before"

He´s not afraid of Jesus return and the end of this world because he knows then he´s going to heaven and every bad thing in this world we be destroyed.

"It's not a question about trust
But will you stand with us
Can you feel it, make it real"

He´s asking someone/someones, if they still believe and stand for it.

"I think it might wash away tonight
Awaken from this never ending fight"

He says it might be the end tonight and it all could end.

"There's a rumble in the floor
So get prepared for war
When it hits it'll knock you to the ground
When it shakes up everything around"

This means he´s telling other Christians be ready for possible persecutions and the judgement day.

"But survival is a must
So will you stand with us"

He means if we wanna live we must believe.

Here's the thing. "Christian" has become more of a label these days of its culture and not of Christ himself. Just because it comes from a Christian band or surrounds Christian ideas doesn't mean it's reverent. And anything that is truly Christ like is also reverent.

Reverence is greatly needed in our day and is greatly lacking. I remember the time that the disciples were together with the Lord on top of the mountain:

And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. ~Matthew 26:30

And when Paul and Silas were in prison they were singing hymns to God.

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, ~Acts 16:25

And we are encouraged to edify one another in songs of the Spirit here:

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
~Colossians 3:16

And so the spirit of these things is calm, peaceful and of grace. That is why I say that it is not Christian because true Christian songs give grace to those who hear.

Okay, I'll make note of it, thanks everybody.

Here is a good sermon on "music":

 

[ewq1938]

Do you guys think this song is a christian?

I don't think a song can be a Christian

 

[blueJJ342312]

I don't think a song can be a Christian

I'm not perfect

 

[ewq1938]

I'm not perfect

Yeah, just a little friendly levity

Rocks.

The meaning of a band's songs need to be taken in light of the totality of their message. It's a call to war, i.e. "Who's standing with us for Christ, cause we won't back off."

Awesome actually. Kicks the enemy's butt, if you ask me. I used to play in clubs, and I'd be very into this live.

We don't reach the unchurched lost by singing in the choir.

Its missing the first couple of stanzas.

"Hey-o, here comes the danger up in this club
When we get started man, we ain't gonna stop
We gonna turn it out, 'till it gets too hot
Everybody sing, hey-o
Tell 'em turn it up 'till they can't no more
Let's get this thing shakin' like a disco ball
This is your last warning, a courtesy call

Hey-o, here comes the danger up in this club

Interpretation please for that part.

As far as possible to know, it looks like no, they don't have any Christian songs.
