Chuck Schuldiner from Death turned Christian before he wrote their last two albums. Gene 
Hoglan from Death / Strapping Young Lad / whatever else is as far as i know very Christian 
too. I cannot remember having heard any crap music from either (yeah well, Punchdrunk 
sucked, but they only got Hoglan in to make a name for themselves).

On the other hand, Stryper (sorry cannot stop laughing), the number one Christian metal 
band of all times, suddenly turned away from religion. Has anybody actually HEARD these 
guys the past eight years? Thought now ..

I cannot stand those bands who make white and fluffy "i have been reborn by God's will" 
kinda Christian music, but apart from those, i cannot see how you can judge musical quality 
by religion.

Who cares about Evanescence anyway .. get a fucking grip, i thought people had taste 
around here ..
