Nachfolge

In the tradition of Beatitudo comes Nachfolge, Christianity's answer to the popularity of death metal. The German band relies heavily on the work of theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer for inspiration, as such early hits as "Every call of Christ leads into death" and "Suffering is joy" attest.

Hardcore fans of the genre remain skeptical, however. "Any self-respecting death metal band has to have at least one umlaut," comments David St. Hubbins.
