May the mighty Mjølnir nail the bleeding
And naked Nazarene upon the pagan planks
Pound in the painful nails now and hang him high and dry
Ouch!
Some years ago I came across Tyr and really liked their music, both technicality and musically. Later I sat down to listen a full album and looked up the lyrics.
Now as a person who sees Jesus Christ as my great leader, this was a problem for me, and a pity at the same time, because I really dig their music.
To put in a quote from a comment to a interview with one of the band members, with which I can identify myself:
" Interesting interview. I am vaguely interested in this band and must admit that though I am a Christian, I take guilty pleasure in their latest album: Valkyra, which is centered around nationalism and mythology and not specifically against religion. I listened to Ragnarok and Lay of the Thyrm, but did not like them. I won't even bother with the overtly anti-Christian album: By the Light of the Northern Star. <b>I just wish that some talented and angry Christian musicians could come out of the woodwork and make metal music about the Christian warriors who fought during the Crusades.</b> Surely, many Christian young men could get into that genre, instead of settling for misguided musicians who needlessly attack their religion."

@McLambo Powerwolf and Serenity are pretty good christian themed metal bands.
