The Final Prophet
An interview with Virginia Creeper by
Tom Johns
Virginia Creeper: a climbing plant with leaves made up of
five leaflets and bluish black berries.
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me,
and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for
without me ye can do nothing. John 15:5 |

How’s
it going?
All is well, we are in the studio writing and
recording the follow up to 'WHO'S YOUR GOD' ,
entitled: 'THE UNVEILING' due to be released later
this year.
Very cool! So, tell us about
the new album.
THE UNVEILING, originally planned to be released as
a 4 or 5 song EP, will now be released later this
year as a full length disc.
The CD will include: THE DEVIL INSIDE, RESURRECT THE
MESSENGERS, WHY (DO I), THE SECOND DEATH (soon to be
on the V.C. MySpace page), and six more tracks. THE
UNVEILING will be available at
www.cdbaby.com and the Official V.C. website
www.virginiacreeper.net , more information will
be posted on the VIRGINIA CREEPER MySpace page.
I cannot wait! How would you
describe the music style of Virginia Creeper?
PROPHETIC INDUSTRIAL METAL
Who are your musical
influences?
UDO (ACCEPT) / ALICE COOPER / MARILYN MANSON /
BARREN CROSS / WASP.....more on the V.C. MySpace
page:

What reactions do you get
from Christians and non-Christians about your image?
Mostly negative from so called Christians (who don't
really know The Lord Jesus Christ). They say V.C.
looks like the devil, but what amazes me is that the
devil controls most of there lives, yet they still
don't know what he looks like, I pray for
them.......as for non-Christians, in given time they
too will believe.
Do you guys tour?
VIRGINIA CREEPER is in the studio at this time
recording the follow up to 'WHO'S YOUR GOD' due to
be released later this year, entitled: 'THE
UNVEILING'...more info will be posted on the
Official V.C. MySpace page.
I have been listening to and
been involved with Christian rock/metal since the
80’s; I hosted a Christian metal show on our local
Christian radio station in the mid 80’s, been to
numerous concerts, and read books for and against
Christian rock. I always found most of the
negativity towards Christian rock to be falsely
supported. So what I like to do in my interviews is
ask for a testimony of how your ministry as a band
changed someone and/or lead them to Christ.
VIRGINIA CREEPER is sent out into this world to
plant the seeds, by the will of GOD the seeds will
take and be ready for the coming harvest........As
for the testimony of VIRGINIA CREEPER you will have
to wait for the next song to be posted on The
Official VIRGINIA CREEPER MySpace page, which will
be entitled: 'MY TESTIMONY'.
Lookin’ forward to it. So how
long have you been a band?
I starting writing with guitarist Kirk Roth in the
summer of 2000, the current line up has been
together since 2002.
Do you get support from your
church?
VIRGINIA CREEPER preaches the Truth , a message of
divine punishment for those who do not come to the
Lord Jesus Christ, which is not heard in the local
congregations.
You remade Motley Crue’s song
“Shout at the Devil” which is a very popular song on
our station, what has been the reaction to it and
what song will you remake next?
The response to 'Shout at the devil' has been
overwhelming, both positive and negative. The new
release 'THE UNVEILING' will include a remake of
'The devil inside' originally recorded by: INXS
What do you do for fun
outside of your ministry?
Write music, lyrics / Study the Word of GOD, and the
history of the true church...not the the doctrine of
devils as preached by the Vatican.
What denomination do you
belong to?
These denominations, that you speak of are nothing
more than people being deceived. And if a house be
divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
Where, if anywhere in the
world, would you want to perform?
The Vatican..........and the true gospel shall be
preached to all the world, then the end will come.
What band would you like to
tour with if any?
No comment.
How long have you been a
Christian and how did you come to know Christ?
VIRGINIA CREEPER began to seek the Lord in 1982, due
to a death of a family member.
How would you describe the
state of America?
We are in the last days.....the decline of America.
How about the state of the
Church?
In need of Reformation. As Christ warned, in the
last days believers will fall to doctrines of
devils. The true believers are accepting the
catholic church as part of the body of Christ, which
is nothing more than a pagan mockery of the
gospel.....Many will come in My name......Let no man
deceive you.
Well, I have to say that of
all of the people that I have interviewed, you are
one of the most outspoken about your faith and where
you stand. I really appreciate that, and I am not
insinuating that others weren’t passionate about
their faith; just you are the most vocal. So, do you
think that people will take a rockin’ preacher
serious?
In these last days people are hungry for the Truth,
the world has been spiritually deceived about the
Gospel of Christ since the rise of the roman
catholic institution.......And it shall come to pass
in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my
Spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall
see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

my friend and I look so forward to the new CD. Are
