^Luddite is a label given to someone who scorns technology and automation – machines taking the place of skilled men – that sort of thing. Lovely word. Lol!!
Is this a Christian metal outfit? ‘No Cross No Crown’ seems to imply as much and I think the Luddite they’re referring to is Jesus Christ – they mention the Nazarene several times. He was a carpenter by trade wasn’t he? Can’t make out all the words and I’m not listening again!! Not my thing.

hey Luddite....!
I liked your linked track, well, liked it enough to listen the whole way through anyway...
certainly some Christian references in there, whether they were put there for 'shock and awe' or as a genuine belief by the band is another thing!

^^Oh ok – looked them up and they seem to use a lot of Biblical terminology which might lead one to make assumptions. Dangerous things, assumptions!!
