Line 4:
Line 4: − − The following lyrics are from "New Faith[http://www.oldielyrics.com/lyrics/slayer/new_faith.html]" by Slayer, an exemplary Trash Metal band with a large underground fan-base: − − "Welcome to the horror of the revelation − Tell me what you think of your savior now − I reject all the biblical views of the truth − Dismiss it as the folklore of the times − I won't be force fed prophecies − From a book of untruths for the weakest mind − Join the new faith for the celebration − Cult of new faith fuels the devastation" − − The Anti-Christian sentiment is very apparent. However, one should note that the singer of Slayer is Tom Araya, listed first on the list above as being Christian.

While Anti-Christian sentiments are quite common amongst the extreme metal sub genres, especially black and death metal, there is a large amount of heavy metal with an overtly Christian message (i.e, As I Lay Dying, Believer, Stryper) and several musicians of the genre are openly Christian, though very few outside Christian metal could be called fundamentalists. Such musicians include: Tom Araya, Dave Mustaine, Dave Ellefson, Chris Jericho, Max Calvera, and Dan Spitz. Some popular ensembles to this effect are [[Underoath]], [[P.O.D.]], [[He Is Legend]], and [[Norma Jean]]. One of the most popular Christian Metal labels is [[Tooth and Nail Records]].
