Trans Siberian Orchestra

In my discovery of the band's future concert in my local area, I googled a lot of searches for the band. Recalling some research I made before in an effort to find out if their Christlike message was pure.

When I was in my undergrad study, my professor who was a very confessed Christian was asked by me in class if he was going to see Trans Siberian Orchestra (TSO) in concert (they were in town that week). He replied that he had some friends that described the concert as "a blend of the Gospel and the Jesus-birth story and heavy metal." He indicated that didn't sound good to him. (To each his own.) I can't deny that is an accurate description, but after listening to TSO songs time and time again I am convinced they have the message correct. About 25% of TSO songs are "heavy metal" sounding, but a very direct, compassionate, and convicting message is given throughout. I am very happy to say that I listen to TSO on a regular basis throughout the year, almost daily and celebrate my Messiah being born each day - not celebrating great music. 

Back the search... I found an article from 2003 on Christianity Today Magazine. Check out the link here.    Enjoy this, a very great read from Paul O'Neil - creator of TSO. 

Carry it.
