Can ear-splitting improvisational noise be considered "Christian music"? North Carolina musician Scotty Irving certainly thinks so. He builds instruments out of hockey masks and crutches, bangs the ground with hammers, and in his one-man act Clang Quartet generally cranks it up for the Lord. Armor of God is a short documentary film that uses Irving's arresting performance to peer into his motivations for venturing so far out on musical and theological limbs.
