No it's not a sin to listen to those bands. Although these secular bands usually have an underlying negative message in there songs, lyrically speaking.
If your a Christian, or if your not, here's some sincere Christian metal bands to consider. Demon Hunter, August Burns Red, Norma Jean (who played at Ozzfest last year) Underoath, Zao, Staple, Mortal Treason, Becoming the Archetype. Check out these bands if your looking for a positive Christian centered message in music that rocks just as loud!

Well the sin would be in taking negative messages from the music which would be contrary to christian belief. The catholic Priest Father John Corapi spoke on this topic several times. ".... don't be presumptuous and think that out of some kind of misguided notion of being 'open', of being 'tolerant,' that you can subject yourself to all forms of philosophical and theological error.
Now I'll put this very simply. As some of my rancher friends from Wyoming would put it, if you soak in a tub of manure, you might come out smelling funny. Well, if you soak in error and incorrect beleifs, if you put yourself in an environment of religious error, theological and philosophical error, you're apt to pick up some of it. Don't do that. That's not smart."
So basically if you are intentionally allowing yourself to be engulfed by music ( or anything else for that matter) which could potentially lead you to actions or thought patterns which would be sinful then you are committing sin already.

If you put it before God then yes it is a sin. For myself most of those bands listed I would choose not to listen to, but as you draw closer to God most useless things of this world you will desire less of. I'm a Christian with a huge heart for Christ and my favorite music is heavy metal!!
If you like some heavy, heavy metal you should check out bands like these:
Living Sacrafice, Demon Hunter, Sinai Beach, P.O.D., Becoming the Archetype!!
Hope this helps you out!!

No. Music, and listening to it, CANNOT affect our spiritual welfare.
Anyone that says that it is a sin to listen to, play, or write music is a crackpot, and you shouldn't listen to them!!
Just becasue THEY don't happen to agree with or like a certain genre of music DOES NOT MAKE IT EVIL!!!
You listen to whatever you like!! :) It's what is in your heart and what your actions are that can be sinful, not what is playing on the radio!!

It's only a sin if you believe it to be so, or if you follow a religion that has rules against such bands.

It would be if the messages in the songs are against the teaching in the Bible.

well, they don't sound very Christian, but I think you're old enough to decide what kind of music is worth listening to.

yes because God wants us to listen to music that praises him and keeps us encouraged :)

It depends on if you enjoy it or not.
If you enjoy it, it's probably a sin.
