I've been looking for a while for some good Christian band that are heavy metal, death metal, etc., and I have found a few.

Becoming the Archetype
August Burns Red
Demon Hunter
Impending Doom

What do you think are some other good Christian heavy metal/death metal bands? And why?

Christian...Heavy...Metal Band? ... What the F*ck?!? That's an oxymoron.

Skillet or Flyleaf,

Although more Christian Rock. I myself am very much an atheist, but to find a Rock band which is religious, so the lyrics mean something, is beautiful, and i never grow tired to them.

Also songs from flyleaf such as 'Cassie' are probably the most impacting, certainly as it's a religious story based on a true story.

In my opinion based on the christian bands I have listened too, they are not very good. Vengeance Rising is awesome though.

I'm not meaning to be offensive, but in my personal experience, there's no distinction. Most Christian Metal Bands write songs about the exact same stuff that metal bands do. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I've never heard a metal song about John 3:16 or a metal version of "Jesus Loves Me". The music they make is about their own perspectives on things that happen to them as they live their lives, or stuff that they feel strongly about.

Megadeth. Mustaine is more Jesus happy than the effing pope, so does that count?

Venom isn't black metal and their lyrics are just satanic. The bands I listed have satanic and/or anti christianity lyrics. I was just joking around with veobahamut.

Christians and heavy metal bands only go together when it's like this:

Christians hate heavy metal bands
