KING'S X is considered by many to be "Christian heavy metal," but I listened to a lot of their CDs and never picked up on it. Don't let the label turn you off.

The same thing applies to KING'S X that I have said about Queensryche and Savatage: they are considered "heavy metal," but much of their stuff is progressive. Some of King's X's time signatures are amazingly complex, and the guitar player uses chords regularly that one seldom hears others playing.

"I think the Christian faith teaches you to be someone you're not, and then you set yourself up for a fall, because that's not really who you are, and you're not happy. I think it's a disservice to a lot of people who have a lot to offer that religion stifles." DOUG PINNICK

"For me, there is no God." DOUG PINNICK

POSTSCRIPT "The soul of music slumbers in the shell Till waked and kindled by the master's spell; And feeling hearts, touch them but rightly, pour A thousand melodies unheard before! SAMUEL ROGERS, HUMAN LIFE
