Hails my friends,
I'm more than happy to give You another "Back to the roots" article before 2013.
It's written by Azahel from bands like Frost like ashes & Old man forest. I hope You'll enjoy reading.
Also thank You Azahel for taking the time to write for my little zine.
Btw. I don't want to see any kind of religious bashing.

What is birthed in the back pew of a church while listening to a sermon about the fact we are all dead to sin and then being offered to eat the flesh of Christ and drink His blood? How about a horror punk band called Grave Robber? 2005 saw the birth...or should I say the *still*-birth of what is already a band of classic stature. If it were just a gimmick it wouldn’t work.
I have met the brainchild of this creation personally and this band is as authentic on every level as any band out there. Not only are the antics awesome and fun as they should be, the music is second to none. And then the quality of the story telling and the chilling messages behind the scripts (within and between the songs) are truly inspiring.
I am not a punk kid. I am a metal head. A black metaller. A headbanger. But from the first song live at C-Stone I found myself up to the front singing along. And then after studying the lyrics...(I will admit being skeptical about how they could swing the message through this medium and I am no lyrical pansy by any stretch)...I was blown away by the depth and the searing truth driven out through these songs.
I have had the priveledge to spend time speaking with Wretched about the band, the ministry, the message and our philosophy of music and these songs are some of the most rock solid presentations of Christ ever penned.
If you are into Misfits style punk or even GWAR style rock, Grave Robber is not just “the alternative”, they are the newest big thing in this genre. And if you are a metal head like me who wants to just have some fun you will find it in Grave Robber. And even if you are a timid theology student who would like some Bible studies that get the blood flowing a bit (inside and outside your body, I might warn you) then Grave Robber might be for you too! Either way, buy the songs, hit play and scare your parents. And get to know the real Christ, the Reanimator!
