Protestant Hardcore Band Has Video Influenced By Orthodox Monasticism


This video featuring the song "Danger: Wildman" is from the Protestant metal band known as The Devil Wears Prada. A source tells me that the band The Devil Wears Prada picked up literature from Death to the World at a Christian music festival, which may be the reason behind the influence. I think its sort of obvious.

  1. It is rather obvious. Sadly, it's impossible to understand a word they're saying.

  2. 'Vanity is a sepulchre.' That sounds like wisdom straight out of the Desert Fathers. DTTW for sure.

    One of my favorite bands, by the way. I happen to really like metalcore.

  3. Death to the World is an AWESOME fanzine! First read it in '94 or so, when fanzines were huge in the hardcore scene. I pulled out my boxes of 'zines last year and found four issues of DTTW. I used the internet and found those guys. The new zinsters over there sent me a few newer issues. I still want a couple of their sweet t-shirts! I love the Orthodox religion, I love hardcore & punk, but I hate this terrible Devil Wears Garbage Bags band. Horribly sucky modern rock-noise that is influenced by hardcore, punk, and metal but is neither of these three.

All Saints Celebrated In January

Sisoes, the great ascetic, before the tomb of Alexander, King of the Greeks, who was once covered in glory. Astonished, he mourns for the vicissitudes of time and the transience of glory, and tearfully declaims thus: "The mere sight of you, tomb, dismays me and causes my heart to shed tears, as I contemplate the debt we, all men, owe. How can I possibly stand it? Oh, death! Who can evade you?"

"Ascend, ascend, brethren, ascend with eagerness and resolve in your hearts, listening to him who says: ‘Let us go up to the mountain of the Lord and to the house of our God, Who maketh our feet like those of the deer, and setteth us on high places, that we may be victorious with His song.’" - St. John Climacos

"May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world." - Galatians 6:14

“Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." - Matthew 18:3
