Oh Lord, this is gonna be a bad one for Pastor Rob. Also the longest video they have ever made so this is gonna be interesting.

Infant annihilators whole shtick is to be as extreme as possible. They have even said that when they are writing lyrics if they don't feel physically sick writing them then they aren't doing a good job.

"It's almost comedic" Now you're onto something boyo

The word you're looking for is hyperbole. An extremely exaggerated description of child molestation by priests. It's SUPPOSED to be over the top disgusting, just as the actual act is.

This is what people think every metal band is like

“Ohh....oh no....” Upon seeing the title

Dickie Allen is literally trying to sound horrid to the point where it makes you sick. IRL he's literally one of the sweetest people you could meet. Very cool, like Jon Mess but more extroverted

Pastor Rob's face during the song is a pretty fair reaction to Infant Annihilator, to be honest lol

I love how they as Christians actually listened to this and found redeeming qualities and didn't just immediately judge it as secular devil music. These are the modern Christians we need more of today end the stereotypical "judging Christians" that turn so many people away from the church and their values.

"The Vatican revealed Tuesday that over the past decade, it has defrocked 848 priests who raped or molested children and sanctioned another 2,572 with lesser penalties, providing the first ever breakdown of how it handled the more than 3,400 cases of abuse reported to the Holy See since 2004." This piece was written in 2014. Painting Priests just right. That's just from 2004-2014. I'm curious about the numbers prior to that.

Poor Pastor Rob he's such a chill dude i dont think he deserved this at all 😂😭

I feel like you know it’s bad if GAGE is the one stopping the song. 😂 That was the most I’ve seen him come alive.

Commented before the analysis: This is a surprisingly religious song. It's casting awareness on the priesthood and the elite and all their kinks. The really high ups. It's meant to be disturbing, because it's meant to suggest that this sort of thing happens.

I have got to give a huge applause on this one. I never thought I would see someone as intense as Infant Annihilator in one of these reaction videos. 99.9% of people who do reaction videos would instantly write this off as completely horrible and would never be able to actually analyze the lyrics and try to understand WHAT the song was actually meant to convey. That is why I love this channel. Good job Pastor Rob.

I am absolutely blown away with how open minded and considerate the guy on the left is. He totally understands the artistic and shocking approach the band utilizes to bring awareness to the dark side of Catholicism. I wish more Christians had this type of awareness and logic. I am a lifelong atheist I can still appreciate this guy. Love everyone always.

Atheist here..gotta say I am impressed at your openness and actually taking the time and effort to discern the true meanings and intentions behind the songs you listen to..despite wether or not your agree with the message, I feel as though you guys give the songs a fair chance. Mad respect! 🤘

I’m a Catholic missionary, and I’ve served in 4 different Latin American countries over the last decade. There are quite a few instances where we’ve run into paedophilia among priests, and not only is it disgusting, it’s pervasively vile. To take ones gift and responsibility and misuse and abuse it is horrifying and evil. It wrenches my heart to hear about it, and I pray for the souls of all those involved. Having said all that...there’s no way I can listen to a song like this on repeat 😂. Thanks for the interesting discussion though. More attention does need to be drawn to the issue, and IA certainly get it done, albeit in a disgustingly graphic way. God bless

Robs face the whole video is me watching the grammys last night

These guys look like they can take a joke unlike Vin and Sori lol. I'd happily listen to these guys go all biblical about a trolling song for 40min

Infant Annihilator is extremely satirical but they’re so good at what they do at the same time it’s actually insane

The second I saw Infant Annihilated, I clicked on. I knew this was gonna be a doozy Edit: 41 minutes later, I would’ve never thought I’d see a pastor be this mindful about infant annihilator song

Also please don’t let this song discourage you guys for listening to more extreme metal

Im sorry for my language, but my dudes you all have massive balls for this. Its respectable that you didnt already shit all over it but analyzed it and stayed with it. Well done sir!

Dickie said that he just wants to write really grotesque horror lyrics... yeah, he got it 😂😂

Dickie Allen is a man of intense vocal talent. He is renowned for his goblin vocals. He does something no one can.

I don’t believe in a god, but I can say for certain; this man is a man of god.

As a child raised Catholic turned agnostic, I absolutely love your channel. I saw nothing but judgment and hate growing up in a church that was all talk when it came to love and understanding. Frankly, my value system comes a great deal from Christianity and growing up learning those concepts, although I still have my reservations. I struggle with judging others on a daily basis after growing up in a "perfect" household, even though I'm aware that I'm wrong and light years away from being who I want to be as far as being a kind, decent, loving, and understanding individual. It's a daily struggle that I will never give up on. I enjoy listening to this band, even though I had to desensitize myself to the lyrics I could hear before I could actually enjoy the music. I reacted quite like you did Pastor Rob, feeling sick to my stomach. But you definitely can't deny the massive amount of talent each one of these guys has to make technical music like this. In my opinion, Dickie has to be the best vocalist in the genre. Anyways, I'm rambling. Great discussion, you made me think (and feel sick) a lot about abortion, and I just want to say I appreciate you guys. Much love.

Pastor looks like “forgive them Lord for they not know what they sound like” lol 😂

I would really like to see an Art Of Dying by Gojira here. 😀

wow what a great video. usually its hard for me to listen to an entirety of a reaction video, but your analyses are always so in depth and thought out

Hes not wrong, rings of Saturn is awesome Rob also isn't wrong- it's not a glorification at all- its def hyperbole, but it is that disgusting

As someone who regularly listens to infant annihilator I'm glad y'all didn't just dismiss it as heresy the moment you saw the first line. Also I'd love to see a reaction to the song "Forced Gender Reassignment" by Cattle Decapitation

You guys have a lot of courage to put something like this together...whether or not it’s parody, many people do hate Christ and Christians. I’m not Catholic but most are still God fearing people...For myself as a metal head, I do get torn on some lyrics as the Bible say to us be holy, set apart from the evil world. Great video and keep it up...God bless

I listened to the whole thing and this was one of the most amazing episodes you have done so far! The fact the the song was so extreme opened up an amazing discussion between you and your son. I absolutely loved it!! I appreciated it so much I had to share the video to a Christian Bible study Discord server I am a part of, I hope they like it as much as I did.

You guys are greatly needed out there to see things from every angle, to try to understand and encourage a deeper look. You have the courage necessary to do it. Thanks for this.

Dickie Allen (the vocalist) is an absolute sweet ass person ive been on his streams many times and followed his insta and hes very sweet and doesn't believe in what he writes

It took me 6 years of listening to infant annihilator to realize that their songs and entire first album are about the horrors that occur within the catholic priesthood and arguably the papacy. In ONE SONG! You figured it out dad! Best explanation of the bands angle and intensions I've heard. I realized the bands intent to in a sense "Expose" the evils of the holy sea when I did a deep dive into the vaticans history as well as papal history.

It is for the shock value, they push the boundaries that other bands are afraid to do.

Man you are very fortunate person to have your dad listening to music with you and sharing this good conversations and analyzing it with you. Not many had this opportunity, well not me

Leaving a comment letting you know I watched the whole thing :) Thank you, guys! I really love listening to your videos

I struggled through the song listening along with you guys, It was hard to stomach for sure. But the whole conversation after makes it worth it! I made it to the end, and man I hope so many people stick around through it all and hear what has to be said after!

They are technically spreading awareness of terrible events that occurred or just show some of the true colors of humans. Great reaction. The ending always gets me.

I just want to echo what everyone else is saying that you are doing amazing work. I didn't think it was possible for someone to have a intellectual discussion over this song. I am not a Christian but you put your views in such a way that anyone can listen to and learn. You have converted a watcher to your channel.

Wow! It's been a while since I've seen your videos. This one is crazy from the song reaction choice and I wasn't sure if could finish it. I'm glad I stuck it out though. Love you guys!

I've listened to this song now and then just for the technicality and my love for deathcore vocals. Rob put it into a whole new perspective and that's what I love about this channel!

Do demolisher by slaughter to prevail! I think you guys would actually enjoy it a lot compared to this one. Edit: just finished the video. Very great points.

This is probably the most diverse, deep, wowing analysis I’ve seen you guys do. Literally opens a hidden desensitized part of my brain. I didn’t think you’d make it through let alone discuss to the extent that you did And thanks for the insight on abortion It really is difficult to live in today knowing these things are happening right now and onwards everyday from now *speaking about abortion* I DID NOT EXPECT YOU TO SEE THAT DEEP INTO THE SONG. I caught myself saying wow out loud. I am currently waiting for some test results in my car at the hospital so I had the time 😂 there was a lot of extreme blur, noisy fuzz... grotesqueness to plow through to get to a quite imaginative, technical.. *im looking for the word* trying to avoid saying deep. I feel like the world isn’t black and white but this song and discussion showed that the grey side of the world can probably do more damage than the black and white I am not as devout as I was in Christianity a while back because of my own indifferences about church. It’s difficult because outside the churches, temples or mosques there really is no organization where you can feel like you belong and just want to praise God and thank God and be with God... but does it mean we have to accept all these things the church does? I digress Point is, I remember from my Christian times the verse in revelations about Jesus’s almost.. disgust of indifference And our desensitization has become seamless indifference That scares me so much cause I know there are many things I am desensitized to, especially because I am not as devout as I used to be Sorry about the long review, I am just paying you back 😆 Kidding... this topic really brought out a lot of thoughts Wish there was a way I could discuss with you guys more about this and hear if my thoughts make sense I make music a lot about dark things but not really meant for shock value, mostly talking about emotions because really.. the issue is people can’t deal with the emotions that situations bring so they try to end the situation either by destroying the situation or supplementing inducement with something else causing “the Grey” I was talking about In conclusion I’d really like to thank you guys for doing what you do again I think this is one of the most useful KZfaq channels I have come across I watch a lot of stuff for enjoyment But not a lot channels really threaten the bases of my thinking and help me learn So thanks so much for that And if you have time Let me know what you think of my thoughts and if there is a way to discuss somehow God bless

This channel is a blessing! Thank you for doing what you do!

Righteous rage and the look of shock on that kid's face, feels like a replay of a thousand conversations I have had before

As soon as you started talking about abortion I wanted to just turn the video off for a number of reasons, but I'm glad I sat through it because I learned some things about abortion methods, especially late-term methods, i had never heard before, and have given me a very different perspective. Thank you, even though I'm sure it was difficult to discuss, for bringing up these topics which need to be talked about more, particularly in the context of the legality and ethics of abortion.

Wow! This was actually educational... so great to see you analyze it from both perspectives.

I'm not a religious person but I love your personal interest in music and your ability to be so open minded and the view you have into lyrics. I wanted to recommend the song "Second and Sebring" by Of Mice and Men. It's one of those songs that just sounds fast and loud and angry but if you take the time to read the lyrics while listening, I think this would be a song you and Gage would both enjoy. -Ryan.

Infant Annihilator: we’re brutal Pastor Rob: 26:30...hold my milk

Here's a request: Beauty in Tragedy by August Burns Red ♥

Great explanation. Also love your reference to the millstone verse around 18:00. I actually did put that in my song “The Abuser”!

It would be interesting to see their reaction to Korn’s song; Daddy

This was very eye opening, and I appreciate what you do here.

I have rediscovered this sing recently and immediately thought about your channel and what your reactions would be. I would've never requested it but it was interessting to see. This video really cemented you guys as a source on viewpoints where I might have different ones (if that makes sense). While I am not a big fan of the song, it would have been easy to toss it aside as just another stupid shock-value thing but you reacted to and analysed it with the same level of seriousness as any other song. You tried to understand and to transform its message into something educational. Your content, and what I have tried to explain in this comment, really is what makes me gravitate towards you guys even if I am not a religious person and often seem to have different views on some topics. I cannot wait for your next video and what I might leran next then.

This is the heaviest reaction video you have so far, heavy as IA's song, yet it's very enlightening. This is an eye-opener, or should I say "eye-reopener". You guys did a great job!

You tried to find something redeemable in this, and had an honest and well thought out take on why you think this kind of song exists, and I enjoyed the reaction. I have some buddies down in Texas that are part of a pretty big metalcore band called Fit For a King. They are a Christian metalcore band and have lyrical content that you might identify with. Have you done any content on them? Cheers!

I like Infant Annihilators music and I love watching ppl react to them and y’all have the best explanation to this songs lyrics IMO!

Watched the entire video. I am a lover of metal, but I was just as disgusted when I first heard it as y’all were. I appreciate the way you discussed this topic and it was very interesting to me. Thank you guys for good content!

Kudos to you sir, indeed. This is definitely more thought than I’ve ever gives to an Infant Annihilator song. Always impressed with your candor and demeanor. You do believers a great justice. God Bless you!

this is actually my grandmas favorite Hymn

I love bands that make music for shock value, to me it is no different than watching a horror movie or playing a horror game.

Once I saw the title. Im like oh nooo Pastor Rob what is you doing 😭😭😭

I absolutely love the fact you give things a chance before you pass judgement. You have an open mind even though the stuff being played is blatantly insane... I love the insane, but I also love you guys being real about it.

Dude you have a good brain lmao i love how you actually break these things down and talk about the songs you react to

This may have been the hardest video to ever sit through. It was terrible in unimaginable ways. But it needed to be said. You guys are great, and I love the discussions, even the really tough ones. Judging by the other comments, I think I'm the only person who sat through the entire video.

I made it to the end and all I have to say is AMEN!

Great analysis. Loved every point made 👍🏼 Great job speaking the truth!

I was raised Catholic. My mom's side was very Catholic, while my dad's side was protestant. And I had some close friends who were Jewish. Now I would say I am Agnostic with some Christian beliefs. This is a VERY amazing video because you break it down reality wise then religiously. Thank you so much for this channel

The first time I heard Infant Annihilatior, it was physically painful for me too. 😂 I really expected you to get a lot more backlash for what you said in this video.

Something I'm not seeing anyone point out, is that through the whole album and continued on Battle of Yaldaboath is that theres actually a story happening. Their telling a work of fiction that starts as just satan taking control over people and it eventually turns into something more akin to lord of the rings with all kinds of creatures and beings fighting.

Man, I am totally on the opposite side of religious faith (agnostic) but your takes on the lyrical content of this (and other songs) are fantastic. I think you are spot on and it’s pretty amazing that you were able to find that redeeming quality.

Way to be a light in a dark world. God bless you and your family.

All I saw was the title and I knew...

I love watching you guys. I suggest checking out "The Stage" by Avenged Sevenfold. Not very intense but it paints an interesting picture of the world.

Appreciated what I was able to learn from it. As a Christian metalhead I loved you looking at it big picture and showing that metal is usually using shock value to convey imagery and a point across on things that are hard to express or folks don't want to talk about.

I watched all the way and I really appreciate what you are doing Rob. Well done.

I just want to sit in a room with this pastor and have some interesting conversations

while we're on the topic slayer's silent scream is relevant to this specific lyrical content

Just watched to the end, and gotta say, I almost stopped watching the video because of the level of disgust I had listening to the song but when you started talking about the reasoning behind it and comparing it to abortion I broke down and cried. It is such a powerful reminder that we need to fight to end the evil that is being done against the unborn as well as the abuse of children.

I like how they sound, and as you said the lyrics are disturbing, but in many songs those lyrics are there to tell about something. As I understand their message, they wanted to show that many people who believe in God do despise or disrespect non-believers, and at the same time, sick and sometimes even deeply religious people do things much worse than what ordinary non-believers can imagine. That's why they took a prophet as an example "here is your prophet which you listened to, and look what he does now", so you believed the things he said was your truth ? What is your truth now ? In any case either you religious or not, you have to be aware of who you are and which state of mind you're in and which path are you going.

Didn't know if I would be able to sit through this one. The abortion descriptions were tough, as they should be, but the interpretation of the song and finding the silver lining and redeeming points is refreshing as usual.

Dad's face looked like mine the first time I tasted tequila. 😆

Sir I'm not questioning your integrity from this video. I appreciate the way you've brought insight into the lyrics of one of my favorite bands in a way most people of faith couldn't or wouldn't. It's actually refreshing to see. Especially so considering I'm a non believer and this is the first video I've seen from you. Bravo pastor Rob. 🤘

Man am I LOVING these videos! It's really cool to hear your thoughts & facing to music that some may consider "darker" or wherever. I hope at some point you guys will do some more Killswitch Engage, I highly recommend "In due time", it's a great video & song, or "This is Absolution", it's also a great song from KSE.

The instruments are amazing. I just can't get over the vocals on this genre of metal.

As someone who's agnostic. Its always calming to see people of faith be decent people and not just bash other people's interest just because it may not be exactly what they agree with or like. Also as someone who's pro choice even I chuckled at the planned parenthood joke

I very much appreciate your analysis of the song and the perspectives on a global issue that will exist for as far as the eye can see.

To be honest, I was just curious seeing your reactions but I have to say THANK you for some serious insight. Some eye opening stuff in there.

This is such a level-headed, wise discussion that turned the tables on people who may have simply recommended this song to make you uncomfortable. You responded in truth! It was really inspiring to see that! Never change Rob and Gauge!

Oh my, seeing you react to this feels like finding your 4 year old watching a horror movie in TV

you hit the nail on the head when you said comedic, thats exactly what it is

Made it to the end. Good job gyus! Disgusting but important. You made me think new thoughts, thats not every day. Its a good thing that you have your great son with you, you are a perfect pair for these kind of videoe.

I really appreciate what you two are doing. There’s so much that we just dismiss as meaningless or trash not worth a second’s thought. I saw a few comments saying that the band wrote it purely to shock and be as brutal as possible and I think while that is likely true, it doesn’t mean that we should leave it there. I applaud you two for not avoiding the horrible reality that we face in a world torn to shreds by Sin to play it safe and not ruffle any feathers. I wanted to turn the video off when you started talking about abortion and I’m sure a lot of people did and I can’t say I blame them. But I so appreciate you saying, “If you are outraged by content and subject of the song, I sure hope you are outraged with this stuff over here as well”.

Please do a song by Behemoth! "The Satanist" is a good song by them.

I will say this, as my opinion here. It is so refreshing and nice to see someone of faith willing to approach a topic like this and have an actual conversation about it. I grew up in the bible belt in the south, and I grew over time to have a very negative relationship with "Church", which I later realized was the ideal of organized religion in a stereotypical sense. The hypocrisy of alway pointing a finger at someone else, and negating any arguments to the pastors', priests', etc, possible misrepresentation, or fundemental misunderstanding of portions of the bible deeply bothered me. It always felt wrong to me that we had this person who was just as flawed as anyone else telling me how my beliefs or faith needed to be handled or felt, especially without the ability to have constructive conversations about the topics at hand. I have been out of organized religion for 14 years, but have my own relationship with faith, cultivated on my own. If more religious representitives are willing to have conversations like this, who knows, maybe my opinion will change. For that, I thank you, and you will get my support from here on.

What an interesting and intuitive take, thank you for this video!
