Alright, nothing against it, but, christian music?

[Clad in Plaid]

Doesn't make a difference to me what the lyrics say, I pay attention to the sounds. And I feel TwI chose pretty well based on that.

 

[Das Bose]

The whole Christian audio thing fits in well with the made up fantasy creatures theme.

I won't be playing this version.

 

[Andariel]

To be fair, not all the Christian Metal lyrics in the game are about loving jesus and preaching goody-two-shoes self-righteous themes. Take Living Sacrifice's Death Machine for exemple :

Hallelujah - I've seen the light
Hallelujah - tie that knot extremely tight
Around my neck this rope feels tight
Jerk it hard pull it tight
Around my neck this rope feels right
I'm gonna see the bottom of the sea tonight
Hallelujah - I've seen the light
Hallelujah - I'm gonna be bottom of the sea tonight

It fits well Suicidal difficulty mode, don't you think ?

 

[tibits]

its just kinda funny that these guys are singing to god and salvation, in one of the goriest games of the year, i dont know if its fitting or hypocritical.

You are talking about religion? Do I keep misreading your post somehow? Christianity doesn't suit gore and violence? What? Christianity could be seen as mercilessly bathe-in-blood badass.

Nahum 1
The Lord is a jealous and avenging God;
the Lord takes vengeance and is filled with wrath.
The Lord takes vengeance on his foes
and vents his wrath against his enemies.
3
The Lord is slow to anger but great in power;
the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished.
His way is in the whirlwind and the storm,
and clouds are the dust of his feet.
4
He rebukes the sea and dries it up;
he makes all the rivers run dry.
Bashan and Carmel wither
and the blossoms of Lebanon fade.
5
The mountains quake before him
and the hills melt away.
The earth trembles at his presence,
the world and all who live in it.
6
Who can withstand his indignation?
Who can endure his fierce anger?
His wrath is poured out like fire;
the rocks are shattered before him.

Zephaniah 1:7-18
...
The great day of the Lord is near,
near and hastening fast;
the sound of the day of the Lord is bitter;
the mighty man cries aloud there.
15
A day of wrath is that day,
a day of distress and anguish,
a day of ruin and devastation,
a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of clouds and thick darkness,
16
a day of trumpet blast and battle cry
against the fortified cities
and against the lofty battlements.

17
I will bring distress on mankind,
so that they shall walk like the blind,
because they have sinned against the Lord;
their blood shall be poured out like dust,
and their flesh like dung.
18
Neither their silver nor their gold
shall be able to deliver them
on the day of the wrath of the Lord.
In the fire of his jealousy,
all the earth shall be consumed;
for a full and sudden end
he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.

Zephaniah 3:6-10
“I have destroyed nations;
their strongholds are demolished.
I have left their streets deserted,
with no one passing through.
Their cities are laid waste;
they are deserted and empty.
7
Of Jerusalem I thought,
‘Surely you will fear me
and accept correction!’
Then her place of refuge[a] would not be destroyed,
nor all my punishments come upon her.
But they were still eager
to act corruptly in all they did.
8
Therefore wait for me,”
declares the Lord,
“for the day I will stand up to testify.[c]
I have decided to assemble the nations,
to gather the kingdoms
and to pour out my wrath on them—
all my fierce anger.
The whole world will be consumed
by the fire of my jealous anger.

Jeremiah 50:21-22
“Go up, my warriors, against the land of Merathaim
and against the people of Pekod.
Pursue, kill, and completely destroy[a] them,
as I have commanded you,” says the Lord.
22
“Let the battle cry be heard in the land,
a shout of great destruction.

Deuteronomy 7:1-4
When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girga****es, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you—
2 and when the Lord your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally.[a] Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy.
3 Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons,
4 for they will turn your children away from following me to serve other gods, and the Lord’s anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy you.

16 You must destroy all the peoples the Lord your God gives over to you. Do not look on them with pity and do not serve their gods, for that will be a snare to you.

Deuteronomy 7:16-24
17 You may say to yourselves, “These nations are stronger than we are. How can we drive them out?” 18 But do not be afraid of them; remember well what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt. 19 You saw with your own eyes the great trials, the signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm, with which the Lord your God brought you out. The Lord your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear. 20 Moreover, the Lord your God will send the hornet among them until even the survivors who hide from you have perished. 21 Do not be terrified by them, for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God. 22 The Lord your God will drive out those nations before you, little by little. You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals will multiply around you. 23 But the Lord your God will deliver them over to you, throwing them into great confusion until they are destroyed. 24 He will give their kings into your hand, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand up against you; you will destroy them.

Alot of that would actually make some decent Metal lyrics. If non-Christian then just change "The Lord" etc to "I am" etc.

How about original Christian music like 1,500 year old Latin chants and stuff, could be pretty suiting for desperately trying to survive an oncoming horde against a broken squad.

and why tripwire didnt want to add songs like "infectious cadaver" like in Kf1, is it because they dont want to get in trouble with religious peoples? Or some other reasons, im just very curious.

I think that Tripwire chose Christian Metal specifically cause it's a safe choice vis-

 

[Jovial]

I did raise an eyebrow when I saw the music in the game, but some of it is actually pretty banging. Mostly it doesn't concern me though, I prefer to listen to some smooth d'n'b when I play KF2 and when I'm in a metal mood I prefer stuff like Oathbreaker or Elder.

 

[Rattler]

The music is AWESOME! Who gives a **** if they mean God or anything? They sing about death, sorrow, suffering, no hope, killing - ITS PERFECT!

I know the light is burning dim and dying in you
I know the pain that lies within
I feel it too

I die along
And swallow darkness
In misery is where I belong

The feel of pain and the taste of dirt.
A dardened sky and the loss of worth.
Lower me down under glorious green.
Eternity waits on a broken machine.
Exit the soul in a vibrant white.
Leaving the shell in the dead of night.
Life is a path, Death a destination.
I've met the end of being, my eyes are open wide.
I feel myself depleting, and watch my body die.


look at this!!!! Its perfect! I mix it with songs like

or

and it works pretty well! If I ever go to genocide crusade this is something that I would listen to before or while wreaking havok, srsly..

Say what now?

 

[abanomex]

Well well, lets not get out of hand in here, i made this post because i wanted a discussion on the music choice, but for a while it has become a religious debate, we can all agree that it doesnt lead to anything good right? I am not a religious person, but i respect everyones beliefs, and since ive been told here that TW president its friends with the bands/record label, it makes sense that it was cheaper, besides since it will be released on pS4 it also makes sense the choice of "non controversial" music, i just hope we are given the tools to make our own playlists.

 

[Rattler]

The music should never be a problem these days. You can - turn off the lyrics, turn the music off completely, you can do the same and run your own music in YT playlist, or Spotify or Winamp or whatever you are using to play music.

 

[mrsirr]

I'm actually surprised this has stayed as civil as it is. Keep up the good-ish work I guess.
Also

Dude you can turn the music off. I personally turn off the music in most games because I just prefer them without music.

 

[SparkFox]

Aside from random passive aggressive quips here and there, it's remained scarily civil for the most part. Actually quite nice to see. And very weird.

Much more civil than say, the vote kick suggestion thread.

...It's sad when religion sparks less debate and incivility than a feature suggestion... Or maybe it's a good thing?

I think the music really adds to this game, the only thing really really bothering me, is the scrakes spawn sound actually stopping the music.

This. Very much this.

 

[silverlighted]

I thought I was the only one bothered by that. Perhaps someone should make a thread/poll in the suggestions forum? It's also especially annoying as sometimes there's a delay before the spawn scream, so you just get silence for like a second or two.

 

[mrsirr]

Yeah it varies for me. I'm the kind of person that will prefer a certain kind of music or perhaps no music depending on the situation.

 

[SparkFox]

That kinda bothers me, too, actually. At first I thought it just lowered the volume a bit (which I'm okay with, so music doesn't drown out important audio cues), but the next time it happened the track that had just started ended and it started another track in its place. Lowering volume? A-okay. Killing volume? Bothersome.

 

[rauta]

Yeah, I tend to avoid metal bands with a "message". I prefer narrative driven music usually inspired by literature, history, or mythology. That's one of the reasons why Iron Maiden is my favorite band of all time.

I understand why most people avoid bands with "message".
Most time I prefer to dance industrial or bands like rammstein that have little bit cryptic song meanings and stories.
Weirdly many bands with message I listen are anti-war and anti-religious at same time.

I took my signature from VNV Nations song "Tomorrow never comes".

Even I don't understand why I like music that I listen.

 

[breadtruck]

Unless you told me that the metal was Christian (you did) then I would have never known. It sounds satanic and bloody and horrifying still, so does it really matter?

Yup, same here. I didnt even notice that you can turn "lyrics on."

But in all honesty, I dont care who made the music or if there is lyrics. Sooooo, yeahhhhh.
