Writing and singing religious oriented music is a restriction that other musicians do not have, and because of it you're not going to compare, nor are you drawing in the same crowd because that crowd doesn't care about you. As stated before, they're trying to be something they pointedly can't be.

So you're really going to post this and imply that Soulfly can't stand toe-to-toe with any other metal or hardcore band this side of Emperor you care to name? That the same group that brought us "Seek 'n Strike," "Back to the Primitive," "Tribe," and "Jump the (f-bomb) Up?" is somehow limited because on the back of every single album you can find the words "Dedicado a Deus (Dedicated to God)?"
