Ever wonder what Rob Zombie would sound like if he got saved? Well, other than probably ripping a hole in the space-time continuum, he would probably sound almost just like Mind Of The Sick. While I am not a huge Rob Zombie fan, I do like to occasionally dive into the heavy industrial goth horror metal genre. MotS has that look and sound down. Songs about zombies, monsters, and freaks are filled with direct spiritual lessons and testimonies. There is nothing questionable about the lyrics here – this is straight-out evangelism. Nothing too cheesy, but those that don’t like preaching set to music might not be able to connect with this. I enjoy it myself, especially since the music is catchy and makes me want to move. Occasionally the lyrics feel a bit forced to make a point and still fit in the musical structure of the song, but no where near as bad as some CCM from the 80s. There are some interesting analogies and points to be found in there. Plus, the hooks are meaty and the song structures never drag. This album is also being offered as a free download (or you can stream it online).
Wow!! thank you! God bless you!!
means a lot!
Be Blessed!
I am not a Rob Zombie fan, but the tune and lyrics are amazing! Who says you have to listen to a certain type of music to get a good message? I am hooked!
I love Mind of the Sick! Monster is my favorite with it’s hard hitting grooves. I get lost in the music, then later find the lyrics spinning through my head. The Dance video is artistic with a heavy dose of gothic overlay. I downloads the entire disc and can’t wait to see what they do with Monster Rag Jesus Freak.
I never thought of myself as a heavy metal fan (nor particularly religious), but I really get drawn into these songs. The lead singer/guitarist is compelling. I love the raw grittiness of his sound. It digs right into my soul!
Mind of the Sick is Awesome! Their music is infectious. Their message is Word. The first album “The Only Living Dead” has several hit potentials, especially Monster and Dance. Check them out, and Spread the Sickness!
