Recommend some good Christian bands...

Now obviously if you don't listen to any Christian bands then this thread is NOT aimed at you. I need some good recommendations for Christian bands or albums. For the record, I really like bands such as Casting Crowns, Hawk Nelson, Reliant K, ect.

Demon Hunter - Storm the Gates of Hell is a great album.

Antestor, Crimson moonlight, Becoming the Archetype.

Anberlin is great.

Thanks guys, these bands sound really cool. I'll probably swing by Dimple after church today and pick up that Demon Hunter album.. I have a 50 gift card I've had since Christmas and I want to finally spend it and get some good CDs.

Crimson Thorn is the only Christian band I'd ever bother listening to.

Personally I'd reccomend listening to band based on their music, and not their faith. It's a bit like listening to bands based on the lyrics they write or how they dress...Mr_Versipellis

Trust me I don't just listen to a Christian band for their faith.. Alot of the bands I've found in Christian music not only have very empowering lyrics, but amazing music that is in many cases better than a lot of mainstream music. Also, I like having a good set of Christian music for when I am having some personal worship or prayer time with God. I like the music cause of the mindset it brings me to, not just cause it's Christian.

Lamb of God :D

Lol, sorry, I don't know of any Christian Bands.

I hear ya, I'm agnostic but I enjoy the overall positive tone as most music these days tends to be depressing as hell unless it's pop or rap which I'm no fan of... :)

Dogwood isn't bad. Can get a little annoying if you listen too loud or too much though.

Cradle of Filth ?

Listen to songs by Steven Curtis Chapman. And plus, that guy can play the guitar extremely well.

Schaliach and Hilastherion are pretty good too.

Cradle of Filth ?

The only thing that's coming to mind right now is Paramore, but I doubt that's the kind of "Christian band" you're looking for...

How about some Horde?

Demon Hunter and As I Lay Dying. I forgot about these bands.

Demon Hunter - My heartstrings come undone

Demon Hunter - Storm the Gates of Hell is a great album.

Yeah I've watched some Gorgoroth concerts online before, and I saw an interview with the lead singer, Emperor, that was... Well, interesting, to say the least. Apparently he supports Church burnings in Norway and thinks people around the world should rise up to rid the world of Christianity. Anyways, awesome recommendations so far guys thanks a lot.

Oh, and Marduk. :P Darth-Caedus

The Newsboys, Steven Curtis Chapman, Rachel Lampa, Jars of Clay, Michael W. Smith are just a few of the awesome names that come to mind.There are so many out there... but these are a great start I feel! :)

CHristian black metal/white metal is a bit pointless IMO. Isn't the whole point of black metal the atmosphere and the message of evil, as opposed to the music? I personally prefer death metal however, I don't really agree with all that stuff.

[QUOTE="MystikFollower"]

[QUOTE="Mr_Versipellis"] Well, I find Satanic stuff to be quite moving, but in a different way. Gorgoroth, Mayhem, Darkthrone, Burzum... I don't know their exact religious views, they may not be Satanists, but their music is pure evil.Mr_Versipellis

Are you sure? The interview I saw was on this documentary about the history of Metal, and I could've sworn his name was Emperor... I may be mistaken of course, seeing as I normally don't listen to that music lol. I know there is a band called Emperor too though so maybe I am getting them mixed up.. *Drinks more coffee* There now my mind should be clear.

no love for Creed in this thread? lol just kidding :P
