MaxOfMetal · 05-25-2010, 08:30 PM

No.

I kid I kid

What kind exactly? Are we talking just contemporary/prayer based stuff, or Alternative and Metal bands which are Christian?

The first 2 Haste The Day albums, and their ep.
Becoming The Archetype

If you like prog, go listen to some Neal Morse stuff

... His "Testimony" album is an absolute work of art. However, he has some prayer/worship albums too that might repel some people, but even the music there is very advanced and complex for the typical worship, church music.

natspotats · 05-25-2010, 08:49 PM

im pretty sure impending doom is a christian band if you want some heavy stuff

cyril v · 05-25-2010, 08:52 PM

uhhh... Believer? Behemoth?

thank me later

I'm a huge fan of Inhale/Exhale, Red and Maylene.

Jbryant95 · 05-25-2010, 08:56 PM

maylene and the sons of disaster are a christian band? hmm...did not know that.

chasedowbr00t4l · 05-25-2010, 08:59 PM

No doubt best one out there.

Necrophagist777 · 05-25-2010, 09:27 PM

Probably the best 3 christian bands out there. Woe of Tyrants is my pick, some crazy musicians in that band!

And if you are talking about like worship music then Misty Edwards and Lincoln Brewster are probably the only people I can stand haha.

I don't know why there is this idea in contemporary Christian music that it has to be uninteresting and lacking in musicianship. I don't confess to be a great player yet but I play at church twice a week and me my bassist and drummer try and add some cool textures and arrangements to most of the boring songs as best we can, I think if done right it can add a lot to the worship.

EDIT: Just checked out a fellow SS'er band, I the Breather, pretty sweet band! http://www.myspace.com/ithebreather

/rant about Jesus talkin bizzness.............HOW BOUT DAT NEW DYING FETUS ALBUM? \m/

Ricky_Gallows · 05-25-2010, 09:36 PM

for today is decent.
also creations (christian version of acacia strain not a fan but they're ok)
Mychildren Mybride. first album was a lot metalcore fun
hundredth
the color morale.

Metal Ken · 05-25-2010, 09:37 PM

Most of the Godcore breakdown stuff bites. Hard.

However, there's one totally classic death metal band worth listening to:
Incubus. They had two albums out in the 90s, which were total riff-fests. The lyrics were pretty preachy, but if you're a christian, i guess it doesn't matter

They reformed in the early 2000s under the name Opprobrium. I have their first disc, and its cool, but dont know about the second one.

Also, try mortification.

Other than that, I'd recommend Extol. Or Kansas. I think thats about the whole list of good christian bands, honestly

Ricky_Gallows · 05-25-2010, 09:41 PM

Godcore lol.

Yea that breakdown stuff sucks balls. Extol is awesome, i always forget them. Woe Of Tyrants, Becoming the Archetype and The Famine are the best death metal tinged christian bands imo.

+1 for Extol. Has anyone mentioned Living Sacrifice?

MrMcSick · 05-25-2010, 09:58 PM

Yeah... Extol, As I Lay Dying, Norma Jean. All mentioned and great bands. I have this old hard to catagorize underground band from the late 90's called
Ethreal Scourge.
They were from Austrailia and only put out 1 album but I love it.

teqnick · 05-25-2010, 10:00 PM

I'd say August Burns Red is worth a listen, but their shit like a lot of other bands of the genre is very very recycled. Either way, Greiner is a monster on the drums. Norma jean has been mentioned enough as well so there you have it
