David Martinez does not care about the critics, long haired, wearing silver buckles and leader steal tip boots, gets ready for the ceremony, but he is not preparing his self for a heavy metal concert; he is ready to assist to the ritual in which he is going to implore for Jesus Christ.
In this Church, rosaries are chains, bibles are covered with jeans, and charity is received in a sharpening steel nail box.
"Pantockrator", which in Greek it means the ¨Almighty" is the name of the church. Located in a cellar, the only request to participate it is to be a follower of heavy metal rock.
"Many churches that have criticized us, saying how it is possible that there may be Christian metal, that is impossible" said Martinez in the middle of the ceremony, and Replied "But in my opinion God is the creator of music, all kinds of music (...) an all that God seeks from us is our heart"
Breaking Schemes
"I wanted a different church, and what it called my attention was the rock. Just for knowing that the preacher was long haired, that he shares the same likes with people, It was incredible! , that is why I?m here. We started to share the music, the feeling for clothing, for many things, and here I am" said Adriana Ardila assistant of the ritual.
Cristian Gonzales who play the drums and it is also the preacher of the ceremony explains "Jesus was able to demonstrate that as Jesus he was able to get to people no matter the condition they had, even a prostitute, burglar, whatever, He was able to get to the people, no matter what the condition they had. And even that in this time, the concept of the creed was that people could not get dirty he broke this scheme thru an action".
Gonzalez added, "We have broken this scheme that rock is just ?drugs and sex (...) thru a blunt action, and it is thru Jesus Christ , which is the only way to demonstrate that we do it is different and it is thru Jesus Chist my Lord"
