The Christian message is an ever-growing theme in Metal. From the early days it was looked at like a fluke, but now some of the biggest bands in Metal have Christian members, like, Iron Maiden, Megadeth and Dream Theater.

But there are those bands which put their faith in Jesus Christ at the forefront of the their music, and those are the bands that I wanted to poll. I picked what I thought were the 8 most popular bands from this faith, but left the "other" option just in case there are other choices. This list just deals with regular Metal bands, and not the Metalcore scene, which is heavily populated with Christian bands. So please don't pick "other" if your choice is a Metalcore band.

So, please pick your favorite, and tell us a little bit as to why.


For me, I have to go with Living Sacrifice. While Stryper is will always hold a place in my heart, Living Sacrifice is still my pick. Their albums are all solid releases filled with some brutal music and powerful lyrics. Even since their break up they're still noted as being a huge force is the Christian music scene.

Poll

James Hetfield , Metallica never had useed satansitic symbols(pentagrams, turned crosses and so on) and metallica never had written satanistic lyrics so I guess thay are not satanists, but about belifes you shood ask him

From my understanding, James does believe in God, but he is not a Christian.

My favourite band choice doesn't happen to be metal core, though I am big on that scene from time to time.

My choice is a band called Monotheist from Central Florida. Their current lyrics are pretty decently true to showing exactly what they believe in. However, they've recently acquired a new vocalist who personally told my their lyrics won't be as obvious but still sticking with their roots.

They're all dedicated to making the music the best it can possibly be. They don't believe in simply just throwing out any old song just for the sake of them doing shows 24/7.

To wrap this up, they are all respectable musicians and their talent greatly shows in all they create.

So what can you tell us about their musical style, lyrics and faith? Do they have a website or MySpace that we all could check out?

to check out their music on Myspace go to http://www.myspace.com/monotheistmetal

The band's official website is http://www.geocities.com/monotheistmetal/

Their music is a fuse of metal including Death and Progressive influences.

This biggest statement of this bands faith is honestly shown in all they do. They're the type of band that isn't afraid to tell others about Christ but also don't shove their beliefs down anyone's throat. They've found a balance between keeping Christ the center point of their music while not neglecting what metal truly is.

Here's a sample of their lyrics from their song "Blood For Blood"

How interesting it is
That in the midst of the storm
The blasphemers call out to the One
Whom they spit in the face of

You kill My sheep
You slaughter My children
Their blood
a blanket of scarlet
on the pavement

Enjoy.

If you had actually read the first post you would see that this poll is about Christian Metal bands not Christian Metalcore bands.

Yeah, I know Metalcore is considered Metal by many people, myself included, but this thread is not about Metalcore, but more old school Christian Metal bands.

What about Demon Hunter, they are all christians and it all reflects in their music, alot of people call them alternative or metalcore, which they are not. i think that they are more of a thrash or death metal band more than anything else

Impending Doom. They are FUCKING AMAZING!! I saw them live and fell in love with them. They aren't typical Christians either. They are awesome. I actually talked to the band after the show. They only classify themselves as Christians and a Christian band because they believe in God and love God, but they hate religion and don't follow religion.

fav song by them:
Nailed dead and risen, a perfect life divine sacrifice.
A despised savior-despise only me.
Silenced by the mislead who mock the God they never met.
The evil of men's minds knows no limits, who chooses hell over forgiveness.
You try and try to obliterate my fathers name, it sickens me!
I stay silenced no more.
A despised savior-despise only me.
You try and try to obliterate my fathers name, it sickens me!
I stay silenced no more.
Send me to the depths of hell, and I'll bring back risen souls.
Despise our savior-just remember, nailed, dead, and risen.
