This week on Toilet Radio: We sat down to watch a little-known 2004 documentary on Christian heavy metal, Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music. We went in blind and we were pleasantly surprised by the scope of voices, hard-hitting questions, and nuanced responses offered in this documentary. In addition to Zao, Demon Hunter, and other well known Christian bands, you hear from Pansy Division, Steve Albini, and a host of lapsed as well as true believers. We even hear from son of disgraced televangelist Jim Bakker. Hot damn! Can’t stress it enough: this movie is actually good and actually worth your time if you have any interest in 2000s evangelical youth culture, the pairing of Christianity and right wing politics, and the business of Christian music. Folks, it’s a good one. Want to watch the documentary? It’s free on YouTube.
