Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music?

Why Should the Devil Have all the Good Music?
5 stars
I am a Christian and I am a musician. Thus this movie was extremely compelling viewing for me. Many of the profiled bands are awful. But seeing Christians in bands that play "heavy" or experimental music is intriguing. Rock n' roll is often labelled "devil's music", yet these musicians are performing and recording in that same genre and trying to put a new, positive face on a traditionally "evil/dark" form. The filming and editing are not extraordinary, but I found the content to be endlessly thought-provoking. You may even discover a decent band or two... Funny quote rom the leader of a Christian heavy metal band: "Not all darkness is evil".
