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

Which Christian Metal band is your favorite?

other, please do tell...

But I think we'd all agree we need a little more to work with if we want to discuss the interaction of Christian and metal philosophies.

That's right! So either make a new thread or carry it to the Christianity thread. I've kind of given up on the whole debate for more rewarding activities. As for this thread, lets try and keep the discussion on bands and not ideology. I apologize for my convergence, but the debate is hard to shake.

The moderation policies on this site often seem counterproductive to discussion... but here I'm going further 'off topic.'

I've been listening to Frost Like Ashes a bit the past few weeks. I am really digging their album Tophet.

Also, a friend gave me an old tape of a band called Messiah Prophet which is not all that great, but it is nice to hear some really, really early Christian Metal.

I am not sure where you could get it. A friend of mine from church was huge into the early Christian Metal scene and he had a cassette of Pure Metal that he let me borrow. I imagine that searching online might rend some outcome.

Extol and Stryper are ok, but neither are what i would call favorites. I honestly don't see how the concept of Christian metal is and different of better than the concept of Satanic metal. But thats just me.

Well, Tom Araya is a christian, and he plays in Slayer! It is kind of hard to take their anti-religion lyrics seriously when the person singing them is religious, but I still love the music!

I haven't heard a christian black metal band, but I'm sure they do exist... lol

Yes, Tom Araya is Roman Catholic, which is a denomination of Christianity.

I highly recommend you read this and learn a little bit more about what Christian Metal is before making ignorant comments like you do.

Id vote for Theocracy, very good powermetal band from the US....no cheese, just proper great powermetal with nice progressive elements. As a Christian myself, its awesome to listen to music that has a message which I can back-up 100% Not often that happens in metal for me really..
