Christian Metal

[Christ's Disciple]

Everyone needs some Christian metal/rock from time to time. This is by far my favorite in the Christian genre, along with worship music that is. So what are some of your guys' favorite Christian metal bands?

I don't mind As I Lay Dying. I've seen Fearscape live a few times, they're always good...never disappointing

I mostly lean toward hard-rock, alternative type stuff, like Antiskeptic, Jael...and I didn't mind MxPx when I saw them live earlier this year.

 

[Christ's Disciple]

As I Lay Dying is awesome. Anyone like Haste The Day? They are pretty similar.

 

[tigercub]

Actually for pretty much solid screamo - they're not bad.

Though, my favourite screamer is still Sean Daly from Antiskeptic

I bought Antestor - Return of the Black Death, which should be in the mail this week.

Disciple - Scars Remain

What is "metal"? - What one person calls metal, another will call screamo, etc.

Anyway - I really like Disciple (except for their "self-titled" CD) and Spoken. Most of their songs also focus on worship.

Tourniquet is always great.

I prefer the older stuff - Barren Cross, Holy Soldier, Bloodgood, The Crucified

 

[steverock]

The Showdown are great.

 

[Leader of the Banned]

Demon Hunter, Living Sacrifice, Believer, Deliverance, Bride, Tourniquet, Barren Cross, The Brave, New Jerusalem

 

[Sonreign]

I'm a fan of the old stuff... Deliverance and Tourniquet both stand out as metal groups I really enjoyed back in the day.

Other retro hard rock/metal groups that I like include Bloodgood, Barren Cross, Whitecross and Rez.

I read recently that Barren Cross is working on some new material.

I haven't faithful listened to metal music since Norma Jean lost Josh. ... I know, long time ago. So I'm totally going to have to agree with "What is 'metal'?" cause we all know that genres get redefined like every 5 years and I can't always keep up with it.
Are we just talking hard-pounding music, or breakdowns or what are we talking here?

 

[Sketcher]

Living Sacrifice, Soul Embraced, Mortification.

 

[TwilightSol]

Disciple, Fireflight, Wavorly, that one band, that other one band, Flyleaf, and..... [wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth]! they have an album called 'Alien Youth' ... I know who they are but i've forgotten their name, again!!!!!! yeah, I'm sure there's more but I don't remember their names.

I want to cry. If you can't hear a difference between metal and screamo, then it's really bad.

My point has been proven.

Skillet.

They have a few albums that have been released since then...all worth a listen IMO.

 

[Hoharloth]

gah seriously ...
Skillet is not metal,
it's not because we're talking about distorted guitars we're talking about metal.

second, breakdowns are core, not metal (unless when talking about 'metal'core)

third, genres do not get redefined every 5 years, seventh angel, tourniquet, deliverance, vengeance rising, they all were thrash in the beginning of the 90s and their albums are STILL thrash metal.

Mortification (scrolls era), Obliteration, Discencumberance, Incubus, all were death metal in the beginning of the 90s and are far from something else.

 

[tigercub]

gah seriously ...
Skillet is not metal,

Never said they were Was just helping TwilightSol out with the band's name

 

[Hoharloth]

ah yes, I misread
