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?

I wouldn't consider them heavy metal but there's a band called RED that's considered Christian and they're actually pretty good so... Yeah

I would say my fave Heavy Metal Christian Band is P.O.D.

@2014631: Not true. I know plenty of people that like Heavy Metal Christian music (although the majority of my church is over 60, and they hate it)

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

Haha exactly what I was thinking xD I mean, when you think of heavy metal it's screaming about hell and death, don't tell me people are screaming about jesus to loud thrashing guitars. However, I don't know what they really talk about in their music as I am not christian...

Skillet! Most def! I saw them in concert and they were amazing. They also did some preaching, a short amount but enough. Their lyrics are also hit close to home in some of their songs

but I've never heard a metal song about John 3:16 or a metal version of "Jesus Loves Me".


I only know one song as of now that is very very distinctly Christian. It is "How Great Thou Art" by Becoming the Archetype. But otherwise, lots of different Christian metal bands do usually say Jesus or God in the lyrics, and the message is usually about going against sin, and believing in Jesus. But otherwise you are right.

Demon Hunter is awesome.

I agree. I have 3 CD's by them. I also have a CD from Becoming the Archetype, RED, and lots by Skillet.

I'll have to agree with Waluigi. P.O.D is about the only Christian band I ever liked.

I don't really listen to Christian Metal but War of Ages comes to mind.

Somehow 'Christian' and 'Heavy Metal' don't mix, but some of the bands I know about having a christian background are Stryper (allthough they are actually an 80's HardRock band), P.O.D. and PillaR. =D
