I don't know about 7's (I use one in my band, haha!) but if you want some good Christian stuff you MUST check out:

Crimson Moonlight (extreme death/black, and I really mean EXTREME - something like Black Dahlia Murder or Behemoth)
MySpace.com - Crimson Moonlight - Black Metal / Death Metal / Metal - www.myspace.com/officialcrimsonmoonlight

Rootwater (a Polish band, sing in English, VERY ORIGINAL and have a great singer - excellent combination of nu-metal, trash and ethnic music! they are not all christians but the singer is and all the lyrics on their last CD all have a strong Christian message)
MySpace.com - ROOTWATER - Warsaw, PL - Metal / Hardcore / Rock - www.myspace.com/rootwater

Pantokrator (their latest CD is AWESOME melodic/progressive trash/death)
MySpace.com - Pantokrator - Metal / Death Metal / Thrash - www.myspace.com/pantokratorofficial

old Extol - "Undeceived" (technical melodic death) is a masterpiece

Virgin Black - (if you like downtempo gothic doom)
MySpace.com - Virgin Black - Adelaide, AU - Metal / Classical / Gothic - www.myspace.com/virginblackofficial

Sacrificium (cool death metal, a bit thtrashy)
MySpace.com - SACRIFICIUM - Rock City Waiblingen, Baden-WÃ¼rttemberg - Death Metal / Metal / Thrash - www.myspace.com/sacrificiummetal

My Silent Wake (old school death/doom ala old Paradise Lost or My Dying Bride)

Well man, playing a sevenstring isn't all about B. Different keys ftw. The second and third living sacrifice records are deathy (not cannibal corpse but more death-theband or obituary, ect. The vocals are teh sux though imo). The new becoming the achetype has alot of death in it. The newer Alethian is a death-tech core kinda sound, ala between the buried and me (which I think they have mentioned that they are christian as well). True christian death is very underground, so underground that it makes black metal jealous.

MySpace.com - Encryptor - Panama City (Temporary) - Death Metal / Grindcore / Christian - www.myspace.com/encryptor

MySpace.com - Tortured Conscience - SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA - Death Metal / Christian / Metal - www.myspace.com/torturedconscience

As well as
MySpace.com - IMPENDING DOOM (New Tour Dates!) - RIVERSIDE, California - Christian / Death Metal - www.myspace.com/impending

Kinda deathcorey, kinda suffocationesque. More of what job for a cowboy "should've" been.

Demon Hunter is actually really growing on me, I'm not a big fan of the hardcore vocals but I love everything else about the band, I guess I'm gonna have to change the tabs around to play in my tuning.

Crimson Moonlight is freaking awesome

those guys just plain rule.

If you want a kind of 'technical hardcore' then Training For Utopia would fit that bill, it's the Clark's old band. I've got their best-of cd, their stuff is kinda weird but sometimes it's the only thing you want to listen to, lol.

Embodyment's Embrace the Eternal rules, that cd just owns. I was like "meh" when I first got it way back when, but I started listening to it again a few months ago and damn, it kicks ass! It sounds just like stuff I would write, wish it sounded better though.

There was another Christian Black Metal band I heard a while ago called Drottnar (sp?) who were pretty good.

Oh, if you want some instrumental stuff, James Byrd's 'Son of Man' album is a stunning piece of work, and is based largely on Christian themes.

Drottnar ! Totally forgot about them! Their disc is HARD to find, they're not preachy either. I Dont think its so much a "Christian Black Metal Band". Its a band that plays technical metal who happens to be christian. they have a world war II theme going on a lot of the time as well. They're VERY technical, so i guess its technical metal with black metal vocals and not black metal.

Also, You can listen to Anthrax now, cause Dan Spitz became incredibly Christian. So is Dave Mustaine. So Megadeth is christian, too. And i heard that Max Cavalera, so you can crank some Sepultura, and if you're an aural masochist, Soulfly too.

Did i mention Impelliterri earlier ? Also, Orphaned Land isnt christian, but they do songs about mythology from the 3 monotheistic religions. their last album, Mabool, was a concept album about the flood story. And if you're into slow doomy stuff, Trouble seems to be really christian. If you check out their album the Skull, the song "Fear No Evil" is all about staying away from the devil. But its funny, cause the song sounds so dark and depressing.

Nothing could ever sound more depressing than Blueprint Dives.

HAHAHA I totally agree!

Extol's Undeceived and Burial were AWESOME, Blueprint Dives is a misunderstanding...

As for Drottnar, I forgot to mention them too. I have their ltest CD Weltwerk and it doesn't have too much straightforward Christianity in it, though they are Christians. A curiosity: on one track there is a voice reading something in Czech - it was recorded by my good friend and it's a prayer.

I know TROUBLE used to be Christian and professed their beliefs on their early records. I thought I read somewhere they rejected faith later on. But I might be wrong.

Metal Ken, Orphaned Land is truly awesome! I went to their show 2 years ago, these guys are incredible! I have all their CDs! They own!
I guess their lead singer is a believer but it's hard to say which religion he follows. What is most important though is that they bring the message of faith, love and peace.

Also Killswitch Engage's first singer - Jesse - (the one on Alive or Just Breathing) was a Christian and his lyrics are BEST CHRISTIAN METAL LYRICS I HAVE EVER READ! He doesn't mention God or Jesus even once on the CD and yet the message comes across perfectly. I wish I could write lyrics like that! They're really touching and meaningful. This is not just repeating well known Christian slogans, in this guy's lyrics faith meets grim reality. Awesome music and lyrics.

Once again I will mention Believer's album "Dimensions" it ultra-tech symphonic (at least in 5 tracks) trash. Incredible for that time (early 90's) this music remains as fresh and original as then... Listen to them!!!!!!!
