Religious music for less than devout

And in the category of Christian themes without overt lyrics, Tonio K.  Another Christian busting his hump in the industry.  His best were the releases Notes From the Lost Civilization, and 'Ole.

An excellent lyric word smith.  Check out The Executioner's song;

The monster walked out of the garden
Brushed the dust off his shoulders
And straightened his tie
He took a hat from the rack (he wore hats)
He took a name and headed east
He said "I'm gonna ruin this place"
He said "I’m gonna ruin these people"

My favorite Led Zeppelin song is In My Time of Dying

Indeed mine too. I have it in an early will to have it played at my funeral. Also a John Bonham protege, its one of my favorite songs of theirs to play. I remember Resurrection Band, later shortened to Rez. I have about 150 -200 christian rock albums from the ’80’s & ’90’s. As someone else has pointed out, the shake up happened in the 90’s and I lost interest. I used to go to the Creation Festival as well as Fishnet (now defunct) Great times there. better than church service...and I’ve been to a lot of good ones too. I also had a Christian Blues band for a short time. I was the vocalist.

No sympathy for the devil?

An inversion of the question, it’s a wonderful track by Vienna Teng called “Hymn of Acxiom”. She sings it in a religious choral gospel style but it’s really a hymn about Google and ‘Big Brother’ surveillance. She won the thirteenth annual Independent Music Awards for best A Cappella song. It sounds like a choral group but it’s really her singing solo through a vocoder. You can find it on Tidal and several great covers are on Youtube with my favorite by the Parkway West Jazz Choir, real singers in that case, not a vocoder.

Almarg. I got that Hildegarde of Bingen recording. On CD.  Love it.
