Anybody know why the member timeline image is so completely jacked up? Could somebody fix it? Raoulduke25 (talk) 21:44, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Impellitteri is not strictly a Christian metal band and labeling them such is a bit misleading. Traditional Chritsian bands often write music with the express purpose of saving or converting people. Impellitteri has not made such claims to my knowledge.

I agree (and I'm a Christian). I have Stand In Line and nothing on it is overtly Christian, though I have seen interviews with Chris in Christian metal publications. I would put them on a similar level with Kansas and U2, where the band has Christian members, but lyrically is not explicitly Christian.--MarshallStack 17:28, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Traditional Chritsian bands often write music with the express purpose of saving or converting..." Not really. Most Christian metal bands tend not to express their views to the point of bands such as Stryper or Bride (band), I.e., As I Lay Dying, Demon Hunter, and even some Teramaze songs. Christian metal is a form of heavy metal music and its many subgenres with Christian lyrics and themes. Every band has inspirational and religious lyrics.^[1] Whether or not a band uses explicit religious themes is different. IronCrow (talk) 05:41, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well according to Wiki's Christian Metal page the only noticeable difference between secular and christian metal is the lyrical content and Impellitteri has a good deal of christian lyrical content. Not 100%, but many bands phase in and out of genres and this shouldn't be an exception. For example Rush doesn't do pure prog rock, that's certainly their main genre but their dabbles in other genres are still mentioned and not tossed aside. Impellitteri's stated position doesn't really matter, they don't decide the definition, Wikipedia does.

I'd like to point out that with the release of Wicked Maiden there are even more tracks that are very explicitly Christian (Holy Man talks about Jesus outright) and the debate is rather clearly settled. I'd agree with the last commenter (how ever long ago that may have been) on this page that phasing in and out of a genre doesn't eliminate the past works and Impellittri's work with Rob Rock around certainly has those Christian undertones and in this latest release very obvious overtones. Any lyric site will give it to you outright, these aren't little metaphors that need an outside interpreter (for what ever reason the anal tyrants here feel the need to make even the most obvious of implicit lyrics require an outside source other than the lyrics to prove that said lyrics exist) but are outright proclamations of Christ as the son of God. Would somebody who knows how to work this site and do things by the book (I certainly don't, took me half an hour to figure out how to access this discussion thingy) please edit the article to make not of this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.247.228.146 (talk) 03:17, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
