Looking for good Christian rock

[joyouspirit]

Third Day. And if you want to listen to the latest CD of Sonicflood- This Generation, it's more rock than their previous ones.

 

[amoonsin]

Lol I LOVE casting crowns, but they are FAR from hard rock lol.

 

[WorldWithoutEnd]

Jonah33 is quite good, especially their first self titled album.

 

[ImHisServant]

Kutless
Falling Up
Blindside
Pillar
Day of Fire
There is a new band out there touring with Day of Fire right now called Red they are really good!! their CD doesnt come out till June though.

I know some of Jeremy Camp's songs are like that...

 

[PhantomTorment]

12 Stones, Pillar, and Skillet are basically the only true Christian Rock bands. However if you can tolerate the growling, Demon Hunter is awesome.

I am not really "hard-hard" so, well... Kutless is similar to Creed but they are kind of unoriginal and can be boaring... occasionally interesting. Falling Up's ok. Disciple will scream slightly but not much, some of theres is ok. P86 i thought I remembered screaming alot, maybe that was some body else... whatever you try... remember theres good stuff out there... but in CCM it sometimes takes a while to find somebody you like...

 

[gadomody]

Bride is excellent, especially This is it, Snakes in the playground, Scarecrow Messiah
Disciple is awesome, I have By GOD, This might sting a little and Back Again. These are all awesome cd's.
Pillar, fireproof is great rapcore, there newest one, "where do we go from here" is just straight rock, but the content of the lyrics is lacking
If you like older rock try:
Bride:Live to Die, Silence is madness
Whitecross
Bloodgood
There's lots of good rock out there

 

[GuitarChick13]

I'm looking for some good christian rock that has the same soundish as the following bands or close to if possible. Some bands I do know about are Skillet, Creed, Pillar, Thousand Foot Krutch, Falling Up. I don't like screamo, I just like hard, rock, with singing you can understand.

Secular music I like includes but is not limited too :

Metallica
Tool
Ozzy Osbourne
Stone Temple Pilots
Alice in Chains
Soundgarden
Audioslave
Pearljam
Smashing Pumpkins
Van Halen
Bon Jovi
A Perfect Circle
Linkin Park
Pink Floyd
Temple of the Dog
Bush
Nickleback
Lostprophets
Guns'n'Roses
Godsmack
Aerosmith

Skillet IS wonderful and so is Thousand Foot Krutch...

I hope your kidding...

I'm not kidding, although I'll add Demon Hunter to that list since they're awesome. Chevelle is kind of in the middle as far as "Christian" music goes, as well as Creed, Alter Bridge, and Scott Stapp, all of which are awesome.

Demon hunter is one of my fav bands...as far as chevelle, i like them , but, that seems to be the most discussed band as far as christian or not. Ive lost all respect for Scott Stapp as a person.

 

[PhantomTorment]

He's a good singer, and we all make mistakes.

 

[Rubble62]

If you want to hear a relatively unknown Christian artist at the top of his genre, try Neal Morse. He is a relatively new Christian originally from the progressive rock band Spock's Beard. The songwriting and musicianship are of the highest quality you will find anywhere in rock music (IMHO). The lyrics are based on scripture but quite original for Christian music tackling some big subjects in the form of concept albums. There are samples available on his website but these don't really do justice to the albums.

 

[Aimee30]

This is It--Bride I don't think it's screaming--it's not the type that's in the newer heavy metal anyway.
You might like the new Stryper CD, but it kind of drags near the end.
Petra is pretty good, but they're leaving as a group now. Unseen Power was a good album. John Schlitt's solo album Shake was pretty goo--he had another but it had some odd voice sequences you may or may not like.
I don't know if you want get older albums, but Whiteheart was a good band--at least Highlands was a pretty good album and Inside has some songs that you might like.
GS Megaphone's Out of My Mind Album is kind of in the range you want, but I wouldn't get the one they made after it.
Happen to like punky music?
You might like MXPX or some other bands like that.

 

[Citanul]

I would definitely second Neal Morse and Whiteheart, and would also suggest King's X. Their more recent stuff isn't really Christian, but their early albums (which are their best anyway IMHO) are.
