Metal Church

On a busy side street an hour from the center of Bogotá, Colombia, the Communidad Pantokrator meets every Saturday to rock out in the name Jesus Christ.

We spent an enthralling evening in Pantakrator’s mosh pit of raw emotion and got a glimpse of how some cast off rockers have found community and resurrection in the crashing symbols and sweet arpeggios of Christian Metal.

The song “White Throne” is written by Glenn Rogers and Roger Martinez, used courtesy of Meis Music Group.
