Christian?

How exactly is this band Christian? No source is given, and yet someone has ctegorized them as such. I am removing the category, at least for now. Christianrocker 23:45, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They've made it quite clear before[1] DemonOfTheFall27 15:16, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The band was formed by ex-members of earlier Christian metal bands, and their demo material was included on a Christian metal label (Rowe Productions, which is owned by Steve Rowe of Mortification). That's about as Christian as you can get. They have also spoken of their work as being an allegory for Christianity. I am about to rewrite and expand this article to show this.

Wiki purists will probably dislike this but try googleing "virgin black" +christian and look at the thousands and thousands of hits that come back. They're defiantly christians and some of their songs have a definite christian vibe.210.1.223.204 (talk) 03:19, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
