I know of theocracy, but the vocals are almost too cheesy for me (and I'm a huge power metal fan). Mortification is another one I'm aware of, but they don't really do it for me. Somthing a little more extreme than theocracy would be good though.

There's surprisingly many good bands out there, extreme or not. Here's few that come to my mind: -The first two records of thrash metal band Deliverance are awesome. - Ever heard of Whitecross? It's basically Ratt with Christian lyrics like they did in that one South Park episode. If you get past the terrible shitty lyrics, it's awesome copycat glam metal with sick shredding. Rex Carroll is one crazy guitar virtuoso. - Sacred Warrior I personally really like, especially their late 80's and early 90's records. They're more prog metal like Queensrÿche, if I remember correctly. With this type of bands the lyrics tend to be less annoying and easier to swallow. - Narnia. It's neoclassical power metal. I love it. - Ever heard Against The Law by Stryper? My favorite album of theirs. - Saint, especially their 80's albums like Too Late for Living. This is your basic awesome 80's heavy metal with lyrics about hell, sin and damnation, not that basic sugary choir boy stuff. Christian metal doesn't get much more accessible than this. I didn't even know they were anything like that until I read somewhere much later. - Then there's bands like Tourniquet, Believer, Vengeance...

Been a while since I've listened to Zao but based on some old memories, I would second that response.

The only band I listened to that has had Christian elements is Saviour Machine. They're pretty much a gothic metal band with prog and symphonic elements. Their debut album is very heavy on the Christian elements. However, that album is fantastic and I recommend that album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg_8_5Px9Ao

Written by Metal Rasputin on 29.02.2020 at 13:26 Good list. Tourniquet, Deliverance, Narnia, Stryper, Believer, even Sacred Warrior (again cringy lyrics at times) have put out some good music. I don't think i know the band Vengeance (I wonder how many bands called Vengeance are out there, if i remember right Arjen Lucassen was in band called Vengeance before he made Ayreon ). True about Whitecross, they sound a lot like Ratt. Their lyrics are cringy preachy in a distasteful way, ruins otherwise their decent hard & heavy sound, great guitarist indeed. Barren Cross is another band to recommend. Well crafted heavy/power with a good vocalist.

Would Angra be considered Christian Power Metal? Zao rules also, no one! I remember Demon Hunter had some decent material years ago; I haven't kept up though.

Matthias Steele Real nice sounding -- quite unknown and rare? -- band. I have only just listened to the debut and it sounds really promising. Came for the Steele, stayed for the music -- and steele https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Matthias_Steele/75440

Oh yes, Seventh Angel, the doom thrash metal band. That mix always gets me.

I grew up on Christian metalcore, though I no longer live in that little world. I am, however, still a huge fan of Zao.

The only Christian metal band that do not suck is Stryper. I love those guys.

War of Ages are great. They're melodic metalcore and Christian. They're genuine.

- Tourniquet - Believer - Temple Of Blood - The Crucified Those are IMO, the best Christian Thrash Metal bands out there. There are others, but they don't really come close.
