Heavy Bands With Christian Members – Metal, Hardcore, Screamo, Punk and More!
Okay for all those wondering like I was here’s a list of all the bands Punk, Alternative, Screamo, Hardcore, Metalcore, Metal, Heavy Metal, Death Metal, Unblack Metal and everything in between I’ve managed to put together who’s members or lyricists are Christian and should have positive lyrics. Note they’re not necessarily all Christian bands they may just have Christian members.
Now obviously I haven’t listened to all the lyrics and can’t vouch for the bands personally,
I also can’t guarantee skill or even if the genre is accurate. So if you know of any mistakes or bands here that aren’t Christian leave a comment and I’ll fix that up.
Also if you know of more, please comment.
As far as skill and personal preference goes and from what I’ve listened to i can recommend these:
A Plea for Purging, As Cities Burn, As I Lay Dying, Attack! Attack!, At the Throne of Judgement, August Burns Red, Becoming the Archetype, Betrayed by a Kiss, Blessthefall, Blindside, Confide, Dead Poetic, Demon Hunter, The Devil Wears Prada, Emery, Family Force 5, Flyleaf, For Today, Haste the Day, Hawk Nelson, Holding Onto Hope, Inhale Exhale, Inked In Blood, It Dies Today, Killswitch Engage, Maylene & The Sons of Disaster, O’ Jove Pity Me, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Showbread, Show and tell, Silverstein, Still Remains, See The Light, Settle the Sky, Thrice, Thursday, Underoath, War of Ages, We Come As Romans and The Wedding
Also House of Heroes.. they’re only Rock but still Brilliant!
Now I’ve also added some South African bands I’ve discovered since I’m from South Africa.
So check them out I’ve marked them with a * and they say (South African)
If you didn’t find what you’re looking for here go to www.metal-archives.com and search Christianity under lyrical themes…
or preferably visit http://firestreamvault.com/main/index.php?narrow=a
for another huge list I discovered otherwise just keep googling.

Yes I’ve seen your group.. keep up the good work

A Day to Remember has Christian members, but take a peek at some of their lyrics and you’ll soon change any opinions you have towards them promoting Christ…they DO NOT!
October 6, 2010 at 3:54 pm
I moved A Day To Remember to the not Christian list since I’ve now listened to some of their other albums

Also, great amount of research for all those people serious about turning their ears over to the Lord but can not yet let go of the heavy metal…give it twenty of thirty years and the tastes of the human start to be overwhelmed by the grieving, unquenchable hunger and thirst for worship, and worship alone…however, for some intense folks with ADD (the real kind, not the junk doctors diagnose to sell more drugs for the U.S. Govt) you will always stick to the fast paced head banging…at least, I think…truth is, the older i grow in the Lord, the more I desire to worship Jesus, which at times includes screaming my head off to As I Lay Dying…hmmm, some things never change!

Attack! Attack! lost its only Christian member years ago, they are not Christian, and Silverstien also is not
April 5, 2011 at 3:50 pm
As for Attack Attack I knew they were Christian cos they sing about God. Turns out there are about 3 bands called Attack Attack they just have exclamation marks in different places. Attack Attack! from the [US] signed to rise records is definitely Christian
April 5, 2011 at 4:00 pm
How do you know Silverstein has no Christian members because judging by songs like my heroine and first wrapped in blood I’d say they are..
April 5, 2011 at 5:35 am
Whitechapel and all shall perish? So far from Christian i wouldn’t even mention em on here xD
April 5, 2011 at 3:46 pm
Thanks for the input All shall Perish and White Chapel are under a section called can be confused as Christian, cos while researching them I found people who thought they were Christian.

Check out a new band named “We Fought By The Sword!”
They are Christian Screamo, from York Pennsylvania.
