Metal as anything in the Lord's house

[Sydney Morning Herald] 2 Sep 2008--Hymns were sidelined for the music of Nick Cave and a choral cover of the heavy metal band Metallica, and candles lit the church of St Luke's Anglican, casting the Enmore church in long shadow.

Australia's first goth Mass was held last night, a key part of the nascent Under The Blue Moon Festival, an alternative event for Sydney's goth subculture which has a penchant for all things black and unconventional.

The goth Mass has all the regular features of an Anglican service, but has been adapted to those who may be interested in Christianity with a twist and in the darker side of life.
