News: DFT’s Dungeon Digs Deep Into Christian Death Metal

By Seth Metoyer

If you’ve ever wished someone would breakdown the sprawling, blast-beat-driven world of Christian Death Metal, from its thrash roots to its modern extremities, DFT’s Dungeon just did it for you.

In his latest deep dive, host DFT traces the genre’s evolution, starting with the early thrash titans like Believer, Seventh Angel, and Sacrament, before plunging into the formative death-metal years of Mortification and Living Sacrifice. From there, he unearths the next generation, bands like Burial Extraction, Hope Deferred, Krig, and plenty more brutal standouts forging their way in the genre.

The episode splits the music into seven fun categories, giving listeners a guided tour through decades of holy heaviness. Whether you cut your teeth on Scrolls of the Megilloth or you’re just discovering this scene, the video is a killer primer on how faith and ferocity collided to create one of metal’s most fascinating subgenres.

Check it out below. It’s a full-on riff baptism worth your time.
