I found a very interesting group which carries a spiritual message.
Avantasia is the group. The album in particular is the metal opera part 1
The song "the tower" is very interesting to me.
I think the group may be rooted in gnosticism and/or christianity.
Please post any music of spiritual or religious nature that you find interesting.
I dont know how serious they were but there was a band last year called Polyphonic spree who dressed in long robes like Jesus and basically looked like hippies, I liked the song i heard and seemed very inspirational.

Do you remember the name of the song?
Another interesting song from the same group and album is 'Sign of the Cross'
Here are some lyrics:
Sign Of The Cross
by N/A
[Gabriel:]
From a world of reign they come
[Pope:]
In a world of mammon we have found it all!
Fighting for pride and for gold.
But the key to the reign, to the ultimate control:
wisdom of the old.
We have been elect to drain the wine
of Gnosis to hide it and pray.
Got to save our children from the beast.
We are on the way.
[Elderane:]
Remaining in darkness
the land of salvation will drown.
And when we'll have vanished
slavery will take your freedom down.
[Gabriel:]
Seven eyes to be blind forever in time:
Sign of the cross
Hell arise! Castigation under the sign,
sign of the cross - make us drown in altar wine
[von Bicken:]
In the heart of justice called Horeb long ago
Moses got carvings in stone.
Imposed to judge those who do not fear
the only, the holy the Lord.
[Gabriel:]
The blood of anger and pain:
Ink of the Old Testament.
I know they'll end their crusade
drown in the blood of the lamb.
[Elderane:]
Remaining in darkness
the land of salvation will drown
And when we'll have vanished
slavery will take your freedom down
[Gabriel:]
Seven eyes to be blind forever in time:
Sign of the cross
Hell arise! Castigation under the sign,
sign of the cross - make us drown in altar wine
[Regrin:]
You have been the chosen one,
so welcome to this place.
Vandroiy's told us you would come
to help us win the race.
Bring back the seal from the men
who don't know what they do.
Seemed to be a fool without an own way of life.
But you've been a sleeping mind
and you woke up in time.
You've got the power to save us and finally you.
[Solo: Jens]
[Gabriel:]
A dream is forever.
The land of salvation can't drown.
Those enchanting colors -
who could have the might to tear it down?
(all these colors - fantasy)
[Gabriel:]
Seven eyes to be blind forever in time: Sign of the cross
Hell arise! Castigation under the sign, sign of the cross Follow
the sign
Kinda weird but the music sounds cool.
I use to be considered New Age and loved to listen to Enya. I still find it very calming to the spirit and soothes the soul. Puts me to sleep.
I remember going into a little shop near the Lake of the Ozarks a few years ago....a nautical shop. They were playing "sail away" and the door was open, it was breezy inside from the fans, everything was ocean themed. All of the flamingos, dolphins, water falls, the glass shelves displayed every trinket. It was awesome.

Isn't it so lovely?
There's not too much that can calm me the way they do. Like angels in chorus.
Enya is relaxing. Enigma has some of the same effects.
I've heard of Enigma, but havn't heard them.
I'll have to listen to them now.
