Any Christian METAL fans/musicians?

[PetraFan007]

Any Christian metal fans? I grew up on Petra and now I listen to everything from classic rock to extreme metal and everything in between. My favorite styles tend to be melodic power metal, melodic thrash metal, or progressive metal. I love bands like Stryper, Deliverance, Believer, Tourniquet, Rob Rock, Theocracy, Reinxeed, and so many more. If it's fast, heavy and melodic...I typically like it--especially if the singer has a large range.

I've been playing guitar for over 15 years and singing for just as long. As a native of Massachusetts, it's extremely hard to find others who enjoy the kind of music I do. I might be moving to Virginia soon (a little closer to the bible belt). Who knows, maybe I'll be able to start a Christian metal band. It's been a dream of mind for a very long time. I have some demos recorded and so many ideas but no one to share them with. It's so very frustrating!

...I hope I don't put myself in a musical "brand" box by saying this, but yes, to some extent, I am a fan of a few select Christian metal groups and of classic secular rock. And I also am a very big fan of Stryper, along with Petra, and Switchfoot, but somewhere in there, I also like the music of someone like Lauren Daigle, or even Vivaldi. I don't play guitar, although at one time, long ago, I did try to take up guitar without much success. Now, I just appreciate the talents of those who do play an instrument or have a deeper background in music (such as my son) ...

Peace,

Ooooo thanks for the suggestions! Haha yeah I've always wanted to have an all girl metal band that was Christian/secular and I'd call it Eve's Regret. Haha. Doubt it will ever happen so I write about it haha. But sadly, I don't know a lot of Christian metal. Kinda hard to search for these days so thanks for the suggestions!

...I guess I can mention that I'm also a big Barren Cross fan, and I've also tended to like some of the stuff from Deliverance (i.e. the first three albums they put out long ago), some of Bloodgood, particularly their latest album, along with Holy Soldier and some of Whitecross, and some of Mastedon. Oh, and there was that one Rage of Angels album from the late eighties I liked a lot, too.

I'm also a big fan of Classic Kansas and Kerry Livgren and his later band, A.D., and especially of the band, Asia--in both of its manifestations.

Absolutely! I like stuff like Demon Hunter, Saving Grace, Sleeping Giant and Living Sacrifice just to name a few. A bit harder than that would be Impending Doom, which I also listen to!

Have you heard of the band "A hill to die upon"? They are Christian Blackened/Death and they do it better than the secular versions.

Some ex-members of Extol just created a new band called "Fleshkiller" and released a new album. It is a must listen.

 

[PetraFan007]

Nice, I love Extol. Thanks for the tip!

I was a huge metal fan before I became a Christian but after my life change I couldn’t stand the lyrics anymore. I tried listening to some Christian metal but it was too much of a reminder of my old ways so I just stayed away from it. Not to imply there’s anything wrong with it. I was just still struggling with my past and wanted to do away with my old self. As a guitarist I do sometimes miss the intense music but I’m still worried it might lead me to stumble in my old ways.

Unblack Metal fan here.

Eh. I can't make them out half the time anyway, I mean what is the difference between a satanist metal band and a Christian band when they're both shrieking in Norwegian.

Any Christian metal fans?

First metal album I ever heard was a Mortification album (Scrolls Of The Megilloth) I think back in the 90's when I was 10 years old. Thought it sucked lol. Today.... it's OK I guess, reminds me of Bolt Thrower a little bit.

Today... the only Christian metal band I listen to is Extol. Otherwise, not really. I don't like 80's wailing hair metal or power metal or any of that stuff. My favourite metal band at the moment is Meshuggah, who are pretty atheistic but I like these bands mostly on basis of musicianship. I love live albums especially.

You may call me crazy but some of us actually can understand a lot of the lyrics (not 100% all time lol). But my brother is not a Christian and is a metal-head with a lot of the same musical tastes as myself. Ill show him music videos for Christian bands like Extol, fleshkiller, and Impending doom. He will say "Cool song, but the lyrics are too Christian".... and these are music videos...... not lyric videos. So its all about the the individuals ears, not the music (unless we are talking about Brutal Slamming Death metal lol)

 

[Stringfellow_Hawke]

Big fan here. Becoming The Archetype, The Showdown, Living Sacrifice, and Theocracy are some of my favorites. I'm also a big fan of black metal like Antestor, Horde, Admonish, Elgibbor, Crimson Moonlight and Fire Throne.

I like metal for the same reason I like jazz: high degree of musicianship. So much music now is programmed rather than performed. I love electronic music too, if it's on Warp Records there's a good chance I'll listen to it, but there's something special about hearing a performance and knowing every sound you here is being played and controlled in real time (on the spot) by the performer. Electronic music is changing somewhat, but triggering off prerecorded sound bites and clips from Ableton or an MPC or whatever still doesn't have the same feel as when you know that every sound is done live. (I don't care much for rock artists who use a lot of backing tracks in live performances either, though obviously it costs less than employing extra session / tour musicians.) I find live scripting interesting though, where an artist writes in code as a piece is playing back and it alters what sounds come out. Could ramble on all day lol.

 

[Convertere]

I'm a big fan of power, folk, black metal and most of the classics. A few of my favorites are; Blind Guardian, Theocracy, Innerwish, Cradle Catholic, Dio, Sabaton, Hammerfall, Caladan Brood, Woods of Ypres and Antestor.

By my name and image you can tell I'm a big fan of Christian Metal. I've a list as long as your arm about who I like. Right now I'm listening to Diviner, who are from Greece and the lead vocalist has a Dio tone.

Message me anytime. There is always room in my life for fellow Believers who love metal.

 

[RageOfAngels]

I like lots of metal and rock, but I sort of stop at thrash/black/death/core metal. I'm more your traditional metal/rock guy...
Theocracy, Whitecross, Bride, Chaotic Resemblance, Petra, Omega Highway, Signum Regis etc.
