If this isn't played at my funeral then I'm not going.

Im not a christian or a metal head and I have adored rhis somg since I was a teenager. What an amazing mixture of sounds.

[davidvaughn]

As teenager, I loved both classical music, and heavy metal.
This was the perfect marriage of both, and I was, and still am, Greatly Impressed.

This song is so incredible, and maybe ahead of its time. I can't believe that more people don't know about it!🤘🤘🖤🖤

[HybridSpektar]

A Metal friend told me about this. I am very impressed!

Symphonic Metal

I'm a metalhead from the early 80s, the kind that still keep my Slayer, Venom, Possessed, Exodus, Exorcist, Deathrow, Infernal Majesty etc. vinyls, and this Christian album is one of my most listened to since those times.

[GabrielJaramillo-xpey]

La primera vez que los escuche fue en el 92. Un amigo metalero me paso esta placa. La pase a un cassette recien estaban apareciendo los cd. Terrible banda siempre me gustaron.
VIVA EL METAL.

FYI (from Wikipedia):

"Dies Irae (Day of Wrath)" is usually cited as the highlight of the album. According to Jeff Wagner in his book Mean Deviation, the song was a creative watershed in metal, and except for Mekong Delta, no other extreme metal band at the time had merged the genre with classical music so seamlessly. The orchestral section was conducted by Scott Laird. The song's first three minutes consist of orchestrated strings, synthesizer effects and the soprano vocals of Julianne Laird Hoge. After that the band joins in with its thrash metal output in contrast with the orchestration. Doug Mann executed the concept of the song and the band section was composed by Kurt Bachman. Dies irae itself is a Latin poem or hymn which prays mercy at the dawn of apocalypse. The poem was originally written by Thomas of Celano, an Italian friar of the Franciscans, who lived in 13th century and was an obligatory part of the Roman Catholic Requiem Mass for some centuries before 1969. Kurt Bachman stated that the song was inspired by Mozart's Requiem Mass."

I wish to emphasize:

"Dies irae itself is a Latin poem or hymn which prays mercy at the dawn of apocalypse."

Those that quip, I don't pay attention to the lyrics. I just enjoy the music. That is quite an insult to the composer. A lot of time and thought is given to the lyrical content. Unless a song is intended to be strictly an instrumental, the lyrics are intended to be listened to, and in some cases -- heeded as a warning. In this particular case, heeding the intent here just might save your life (body and soul). Then again, to each his own. Only one can convince himself. To experience oblivion (or worse) is one's choice.

If one is curious, we may well be at the dawn of apocalypse. Listen with care:

Haven't watched cky2k in like 20 years but was playing god of war and there was something playing that was similar and it triggered this song. Took me like an hour to find it. What a song

[stevebuddenhagen]

These guys live at Cornerstone was the best concert I’ve ever been to and I’ve seen Metallica

[chadgautier]

I remember I bought this album at their show. I had bought their debut in a Christian book store. I heard it. I was like this is some of the heaviest stuff around. Every album they ha e done is different. Changing but retaining their heaviness. I am still waiting for ep 4 and 5 to be released.

A FUTURE SOMETHING TO EXPECT SOON AND STILL TODAY A METAL BAND CAN DELIVER THE GOODS!!! GOD'S GOOD!!!❤️🙏❤️

[Matt-wqqd]

Philly Park from a decade ago brought me back here! who knows?

[mrmusickhimself]

CKY2K introduced me to them, and this would be an AMAZING theme for a Secret Boss battle.
