"I went to Church but it was destroying me because the people yelled and screamed from the pulpit and at a Sunday School they baby-talked me.... I walked out of the church when I was nine years old. I didn't like the hymns and couldn't stand the singing any more.... I lived outside the Church and was kinda' on my own but I'm glad Jesus came to me then and pulled me out of what might have been an unhappy childhood."

Background In the 1960s, the hippie culture was starting. Christian started a movement called the Jesus
movement.
It was the major element within the hippie culture. The people in it were called Jesus People/Jesus Freaks. Larry Norman was seen as the personification of the
Jesus movement. Most Christians in the 60s were against the movement and said the music is from the devil. Keith Green was also seen as one of the most influential person of the movement.
Impending Doom Started in 2005 as goregrind band Signed in to Facedown Records in 2005 Didn‘t have proper drummer, so had to use fill-in drummers Refer to their style of Christian metal as "Gorship" - a
combination of goregrind and worship.
Silence the Oppressors To the following Christians listen closely. We bring our light to a new realm, a realm you dare not enter, Passing judgment behind stone walls, behind your absence of understanding. We will crush your walls that dictate where our ministry goes, Don't you ever tell me I'm using God as a gimmick. I'm not a heretic, I'm not a hypocrite; Those insults make me sick from the ones I have fellowship with. We aren't doing this for our own, but for one name holy and alone. These venues are our church, We are the gospel in the darkness, and this is our exaltation. We are the gospel in the darkness; we bring our light to a new realm, A realm you dare not enter, passing judgment behind stone walls, Behind your absence of understanding. Are you listening!!! We'll crush the walls that dictate where our ministry goes, This is our church, this is our worship, GORSHIP!
