Heavy Metal

I listen to mostly old school moderate rock/hard rock/metal and heavy metal. Some bands have in my collection are Angelica, Barren Cross, Bloodgood, Daniel Band, Deliverance, Rob Rock, Rob Rock's Driver, Guardian, Holy Soldier, Joshua, King James/Rex Carroll/Whitecross, Ken Tamplin/Shout, Magdallan/Magdalen, John Elefante/Mastedon, Petra, John Schlitt, Rez Band, Ken Tamplin/Shout, Theocracy, Sacred Warrior, Saint, Recon, Michael Sweet, Stryper, Siloam, The Brave, Fear Not, X-Sinner/GX, Whiteheart, etc. I am also a big fan of Impellitteri. They aren't a Christian band but Rob Rock who is a Christian is the main lead singer and writes the lyrics.

Nightwish
Tristania
Serenia
Therion
Within Temptation
The first Black Sabbath album is still on my play list 40 odd years later...
From the Christian realm:

Godflesh is legendary. Hard to put into a single subgenre, though...although the term, 'Industrial', suits them best and might have even been coined to describe them in particular, it's hard to say. Their 'comeback album' last year was top-notch, which was surprising, given how many years they remained dormant.

I like some other bands that sort of tread in this territory, even if only lightly. Some of my own recordings are kind of industrial doom, but with more psychedelia.

Disciple's Battle Lines seems to have Biblical themes.

The music is really good. I am not one for clean vocals though when I listen to metal. I like a lot of bands that sing clean but when it comes to brutal music I just love to hear the growls. That's why I like Impending Doom so much. They really kick it out.

Oh Disciple do use a throaty rasp.

Yeah I noticed that on the song you suggested. That is a really good song though. I was skipping around on some of their other songs, I guess I should have specified that

I love metal. Is it anti-christian though?

These are my favorite bands:

Metallica
Slayer
Megadeth
Pantera

Metal is a musical style, so is neither anti-Christian nor pro-Christian. Lyrics can be anti-Christian, and maybe metal has a greater tendency to those, but that doesn't make the concept of metal bad in any way.

It's not that I hate heavy metal but I don't like it. Maybe because it's too loud for my ears. My brother loves it very much, by the way.

I really love Megadeth. They're my favorite band. I also listen to Slayer, Dio, Black Sabbath, W.A.S.P., Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne and so on.
