My top 10 1. Zao (metalcore) 2. Deliverance (thrash) 3. Vengeance rising (thrash) 4. Seventh angel (thrash) 5. Living sacrifice (metalcore) 6. Metatrone (power) 7. Malchus (death) 8. Paramaecium (death/doom) 9. Travail (nu metal) 10. Underoath (matalcore)

Depends on when we’re talking but hard for me to imagine this list without Whiteheart, Sweet Comfort Band, Kerry Livgren’s AD, or the Joe English Band. The obvious problem with Christian rock bands has always been how to actually make a living at it, though, so you have quite a few that didn’t last very long yet made very good albums. Another couple I really liked were Jerusalem and the Daniel Band.

I gotta throw Rob Cassels Band into this mix, along with The Daniel Band. The Daniel Band especially was so underrated, but they are amazing if you like April Wine.

Scarlett Bullet

Petra, Whiteheart, DC Talk (Rock and Pop years), White Cross, Stryper, Jars Of Clay, Mercy Me,

I'm so glad the sound and the message continues, keep the wheels turning and on fire!

David Crowder rocks! Based on the bands mentioned here I’d say it’s time to expand the horizons a bit.

For me as an old guy: 1. Stryper 2. Bloodgood 3. Disciple 4. Barren Cross 5. Whitecross Thanks for the mention of Bloodgood and for the kind words about our loss of Michael Bloodgood way, way too soon.

Ok. I need help. A friend of mine sent me a mix tape in the late 80s early 90s and one of the most awesome songs I've ever heard was on it, but when I asked him who it was he didn't rememeber. The chorus was" Come home, son, so many nights my tears fall to the rain. Come home son, it hurts so much, but you are worth the pain. Come home, son, I have so many things to give to you. Come home son, today we start, today all things are new...if you'll just come home." It was an epic power ballad. If anyone remembers this song, please point me in the right direction.

Besides Stryper, Petra has has always been my favorite. I got into Christian music back in the mid 80s, and finally in Sept, Ill be seeing Petra for the first time. Front row with a meet and greet.

Stryper yes of course

I love Holy Soldier

You left out the first and greatest Christian rock band ever, Black Sabbath, yes I said it, Tony Iommi was a Christian and if you really listen to/read their lyrics you will understand why I say this.

Ooooh! I love!!!! Love Chaotic Resemblance too!

The Crucified. Is the best! Vengeance Rising is the second best. Randy Rose is good.

Bloodgood and stryper

Rez Band was my was my high school times. Surprised White Heart wasn't here.

nice with all the star wars collectables

Something tells me you're a Star Wars fan...

How did bro forget Extol? They literally changed Death Metal, as a Christian band. How did you not know that?

red sounds a bit like a watered down bullet for my valentine....theocracy is by far my fav band mat's voice is stellar and the band is so progressive and head banging....great stuff....

you should really show War of Ages some love. Metalcore, maybe beard core, incredibly talented band.

I bought Underdog when I was 14, saw them when I turned 18. Love their music. Skillet is amazing.

The lead singer of Holy Name, Tommy Green, used to be the lead singer of Christian hardcore band, Sleeping Giant.

Hey timm. Thanks for video

Bloodgood! My favorite song of theirs is "Crucify", with "Alone in Suicide" as second. Good mention! Curious what your opinion on the band Tourniquet is

Faith+1

My personal favorites in no particular order. Except Petra. They’re #1 1. Petra 2. White Heart 3. Holy Soldier (with Steven Patrick) 4. Guardian 5. David Zaffiro (highly underrated) 6. Skillet 7. DC Talk (their rock years)

Gary was in a progressive band called Shadow Gallery. Shadow Gallery came out with their first album in 1992, second in 1995, 3rd in 1998, 4th in 2001 , 5th in 2005 I think and last one in 2009. The lead singer Mike died after the 5th album and there is a different singer for the last one. Speaking of concept albums, check out Tyranny (3rd album) and Room V which I think is part 2 of tyranny. Room V was the 5th album. The way the story ended it felt like a part 3 was coming to finish but did not happen. While not a Christian band, the story deals with the end time and is anti one world government/anti new world order. The first 4 albums released on vinyl not to long ago. Im keeping my fingers crossed for Room V on vinyl which I hope inside out music will release this in the future.

Hey, I have a Christian metal band, if you want to listen to our music, we are Dominus Virtutem. nice video BTW

Good video with some bands I wasn't aware of and will definitely check out. May I recommend Deliverance, tourniquet, Bride, Jacobs Dream, Sleeping Giant.

I must agree...Theocracy rules!

hey check out Purplish -Holy Ghost teaser! for some fresh Christian rock! all bible lyrics. Female vocals. spread the word! songs coming soon to all streaming platforms ruclips.net/video/eW_LlafPJqI/видео.html

Lincoln Brewster only one I like.

Ive returned to really appreciating Petra again. I actually live Back to the Street. Especially YOU are I AM, Shaking the Hous and Fool's Gold.

I did'nt read through all the comments but love to Demon Hunter also one of my favorite bands

Stryper is a great band. In fact, I grew up on their music back in the 1980s. I still have their original cover of to hell with the devil with the controversial muscle-bound winged angels. Still, they are a hard rock band and are not part of the heavy metal genre.

Grammatrain Flying might be the greatest Christian rock album of all time. And don’t forget the Elms, Stavesacre, Phil Keaggy, and All Together Separate, which was fronted by the greatest voice in the genre. And if you saw Burlap to Cashmere live during the Anybody Out There tour, you’d include them too. Best live Christian show I’ve ever seen and I saw them as a 6, 5, and 4 piece. All equally amazing. Skillet lost me after album one. Disciple live 99-03 was nothing short of jaw dropping. The Elms were probably the most complete Christian bands before click tracks and canned backing, and their first three releases were very tight. Phil Keaggy is the goat rock guitarist in CCM. Stryper’s Fallen was close to CCM perfection. Good list but lots of top tier missed IMO. My honorable mention would be a little band called Broomtree out of Ohio. Traveled with Petra some. Two albums. Sunny, poppy, and lyric forward. Very good live act and kind.

Like your list and Petra is definitely the best ever. Thanks for honoring Fear Not and Novella which were definitely underrated. I would have agreed with you on most but missing Whiteheart. Their Freedom album is the best of all time imo.

Uh...what about Demon Hunter?!?!?!??!

Have you heard this song? ruclips.net/video/YFFeYL5nbI4/видео.html

Theocracy Stryper Daylight…

Novella! One of the most underrated bands out there!

I think you should be talking about Neal Morse. As a solo Artist and with The Neal Morse Band he has released 30 albums since 1999. His work on Testimony 1 & 2, One, ?, Sola Scriptura just show what an Artist can do concerning the scriptures in music. His double CD, 'Testimony' coming in at 120 minutes about his testimony in becoming a Christian is just phenomenal and no other Christian Artist has ever done anything like that nor ever will because they just don't how to do anything like that. His other work with Transatlantic, Flying Colors & D'Virgilio, Morse & Jennings are superb also.

1 Stryper 2 Deliverence 3 Barren Cross 4 Bloodgood 5 Whitecross Favorite album extraction from mortality - Believer Just bought Theocracy - mosaic. Very impressive. I might have to put them in my top five.

I'm defenitly missing Bride!

Bro what about Stryper?????

What about Stryper? To be fair, this is the Rock list. Maybe they’ll make the Metal list? Curious to hear your opinion about them.

How is Stryper not included in this list? Best Christian band ever!
