Miss May I needs to be removed from the vault. They're definitely not a christian band.

Source?

Yes, please state your reason why. A link would be a bonus.
Now, I am curious where my youth pastor friend got this from or how he found out about it.

well i just read all the lyrics and none of them seem christian at all

interesting that they are carried by divine metal distro then. james indicated that they were a christian band.

so....we still don't have any proof...link....source....

Nobody has actually given any proof that they're not a Christian band. So prove it.

Yeah I hate it when people accuse the bands of not being or being christian without something to back it up.

Never really listened to the band outside of the few samples on DMD, but here's the lyrics to "Arms of the Messiah" off the new album (taken from here):

Quote:

Follow paths paved with nothing. These waters fill with the dead. The haste is brought with force which it is made Beyond all hope this is true. Shores expire over azure horizons. Waves bury our fathers and consume all that we have loved. Look into their eyes with the flawless feelings that you fake prepare for these tides of annihilation. annihilation. Open your eyes to what you have been breathing upon. Shadows are all we have and they whisper lies. Blood will be our only escape. These arms bring strength behold what we have

Also, I found an interview with the lead singer here.

Quote:

Well, we have been asked a lot if we are a Christian band due to our lyrics. And the answer to that is no, but some of us are Christians and others are not. But myself as a Christian, I try and not put the wrong negative message out in our lyrics.

Sounds fine to me. They're not a "ministry" band it would seem, but if you're gonna count Zao and many others as still belonging to the Christian-friendly scene, I'd say these guys are fine.

I think they are fine but I tend to be a bit Liberal on what I accept. When in doubt ask Dale what he thinks!

Sorry, I forgot about this thread. I was prompted to ask my Youth Pastor friend. Here is his reply, "Yep...they were advertised in HM...they may not be 100% ministry, but they are Christians."
This goes in agreement with some of the above statements. Personally, I have not listened but I will.

I ordered this via DMD so maybe once I get my copy I'll have a look.

Okay, I listened to this yesterday.

Sorry, I won't be much help in determining it's merits as I cannot understand 99% of the lyrics. This type of vocal style is not my forte. It would be best to have a link to the complete lyrics.

Guessing that not everything that is in HM mag & DMD should be in the vault and vice versa.

The fact check goes on.

here is a link. like i said earlier be warned there are a couple of f-bombs. http://www.alivelyrics.com/m/missmayi/

Thank you for the link. I have made an official motion to have this band removed from the vault.

Stargazer, thank you for bringing this to our attention. You know your stuff

i think this band to be safe and as is stated and show through other links here there are christian members in this band. if they are removed from the vault then you must remove all bands that fit into this situation. such as across five aprils and zao.
