So far there's just a couple of their songs I've heard and like and I think one reason I like them is they don't directly proselytize in the lyrics. One could interpret what they're saying as some kind of confessional, especially in their song Comatose, but it doesn't have to go that way if you don't want it to. It's less 'We're bringing you THE WORD through our music' and more 'We're Christians but here's some metal for you', which I find much more inviting.

Also, orchestral violins in metal... love it.
