Background and impact

O’Neil formed the unblack metal project Vomoth. [6] In 1995, the band released Karrionic Hacktician as part of a compilation, The Extreme Truth, by Rowe Productions. [3] The band recorded their debut album, Skin Stripper, before going on hiatus for the first time. [3] The album includes two bluegrass banjo tracks composed by Mike Keady.[ citation needed ] In December 2001, Green moved to Minnesota and married Maria, who became the band's bassist, and hired on Ziggy Peters and Johnathan Kellerman on vocals. [3] Due to lack of a drummer, the band went on a second hiatus. In August 2006, Green started the band back up with Hamilton and Valentine. The band ended in 2008.

Christian death metal consists of death metal music fused with Christian metal. It is characterized as death metal music with Christian lyrical content, from bands whose members profess Christianity, or both. Sonically, it is identical to death metal, and the lyrics often direct the violent and morbid imagery of the death metal genre towards topics such as demons, sin, self and self-denial, divine judgment, and apocalypse. The thematic material and imagery of Christian death metal often matches or subverts that of secular death metal. Due to the gory, violent, and often anti-Christian or Satanic lyrics typical of the death metal genre, Christian death metal is often considered an oxymoron and odd juxtaposition by commentators, and has also encountered resistance from some Christians.
