His church thinks electric guitars are the devil’s work. But Father Tabakis is on a mission to change that – with Paradise Metal, a religious dubstep album that outdid Daft Punk and Aphex Twin

Boy, that's a weird article. A lot of that reads like the author has never actually heard music first hand, and only ever had it described to them.

I listened to the album. It's not bad, but it's not what I would have described as metal. Most of the tracks are solo electric guitar with a heavy Mediterranean/Middle Eastern style influence. Only a few of the tracks have any percussion, of which only one has any dub step elements (though I don't think I'd call it a proper dub step track). I don't speak the language they're singing in, so I can't really comment on the rap elements or the lyrical content.

It sounds to me like the home studio recordings of a fairly competent musician who is dabbling in some genres they're not especially familiar with. Like I said, it's not bad, but it would definitely benefit from some more professional production. I enjoyed listening to it, but I think if you're expecting what the author of this article is promising, you're going to be pretty disappointed.

This article is clearly not written by someone who listens to electronic music because they just hopped like 4 different genres, Daft Punk and Aphex Twin don't do anything close to dubstep and this music isn't either and techno isn't really in the picture at all. It's still really cool but idk why they had to try to compare it

For most people "Techno" is synonymous for electronic music

yea, and that's interesting because as a genre, actual techno had it's heyday like 30 years ago, it's still around for sure but it's not near as popular as other genres. it's just kind of interesting how that worked out haha.
