No it's not a contradiction.

Bands I like:

Payable On Death(old and new)
Living Sacrifice
Project86
Blindside

Other(as genre examples)
System of a Down
Hawthorne Heights
Protest The Hero
Further Seems Forever

etc.

I'm looking for harder stuff(post-hardcoreish, not really black metal), but anything alternative and above is good.

This is a great indicator of what I'm looking for.

Not looking for Top 40 Christian radio, sorry.

 

[lethial]

I remember my Aunt giving me a Whitecross cassette back in like 1990. That stuff was sooooooooooooo bad. She wanted me to listen to them instead of AC\DC which she thought ment Anti-Christ Devil Child.

 

[sazabirules]

Do you want metalcore? There's plenty of Christian metalcore.

 

[itwasTuesday]

I like Chevelle, they said they are Christians.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Do you want metalcore? There's plenty of Christian metalcore.

Sure, hit me.

 

[hayejin]

Stryper still around?

 

[sazabirules]

Sure, hit me.

As I Lay Dying
Haste The Day
Norma Jean
Underoath

 

[Bulbo Urethral Baggins]

Stryper still around?

Damn. You're dating yourself.
But....Are they?

[Mickey Avalon]

mewithoutYou is pretty awesome

[Aesthet1c]

Makeshift3.

They are a small time band, but they have some amazing music.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTRWyE9fJjA

 

[sruckus]

I like Chevelle, they said they are Christians.

Haha, about as much as most people when they say "I believe in God"

 

[thefit]

It's not metal if you can't sell your soul to it.

Anyway I'll join in on the hilarity and give you

BLOODGOOD

 

[GDGF]

Had no clue As I Lay Dying were a christian band...

 

[Femmeworth]

Ever listened to Emery?

 

[Kalnos]

Life In Your Way

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01RfKSce_cA

Brokencyde in Christian metal form.

 

[Buckethead]

Skillet is the only Christian band I can tolerate...

Peep that.

 

[eternaLightness]

P.O.D. are one of the more "hardcore" ones I like. Really love this song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOESyEljmFE

Another recommendation for Skillet also.

edit: Few More I enjoy.

Dead Poetic(probably more of what you're looking for)
Thousand Foot Krutch
The Red

 

[Dice]

Isn't Project86 more "punk" than hardcore/metal? At least they were 8 years ago when I last heard them... Hawthorne Heights? I thought they did a lot of easy going emo shit.

I like Chevelle, they said they are Christians.

One of the few "heavy" bands I can tolerate.

Ever listened to Emery?

lol for some reason I thought you meant Eisley and I was like "way off, bro"

Skillet is the only Christian band I can tolerate...

You wouldn't if you heard them preach an unbiblical, hour-long AoG guilt trip in the middle of a fucking music festival.

 

[NJ Shlice]

My specialty.



Emery
Underoath
Devil Wears Prada
As Cities Burn - Son I Loved You At Your Darkest (Album)
The Beloved
Blindside
Oh Sleeper
We Came As Romans
Asking Alexandria

If you only try out a few you MUST listen to:

Oh, Sleeper
The Devil Wears Prada
Underoath

 

[I Big JG I]

STRYPER that is all

 

[Dega]

Hmm Red?

Red - Breathe Into Me
Red - Already Over

Dunno lol

 

[Buckethead]

You wouldn't if you heard them preach an unbiblical, hour-long AoG guilt trip in the middle of a fucking music festival.

Probably not.

And yeah AoG... lol.

 

[Shalashaska161]

Demon Hunter is a pretty good Christian metal band.

 

[Insane Metal]

STRYPER that is all

.

 

[n0b]

Trouble - Psalm 9
I haven't listened to anything beyond Psalm 9, and I don't know if they particularly count as christian beyond that point, but Psalm 9 is one of the best doom metal albums ever and it just happens to be somewhat christian themed.

I can't help you beyond that because I don't exactly go searching it out.

 

[Jackson50]

Demon Hunter is a pretty good Christian metal band.

Yeah. My brother listens to Christian rock, and this is one of the few bands I enjoy. Becoming the Archetype is another Christian rock band I enjoy.

 

[texasairhead101]

August Burns Red
This song has some of the best instrumental rythm and is a must listen to when it comes on in shuffle.
Marianas Trench
My work out finisher. fucking intense. the 3:20 mark is when i give it that last burst.

Meridian

 

[Ninja_Hawk]

Had no clue As I Lay Dying were a christian band...

Really? Do you every pay attention to their lyrics, it's pretty obvious in some songs.

 

[xSL4INx]

 

[Combichristoffersen]

No mention of Mortification?

Also, I guess current Megadeth. Sort of. Kinda. Mustaine's a born-again Christian these days, so..

 

[Blackheim]

Also, I guess current Megadeth. Sort of. Kinda. Mustaine's a born-again Christian these days, so..

Heh, I think the OP is probably looking for stuff that doesn't go against Christian teachings and/or contains Christian messages. Otherwise I would have thrown a reco in for Slayer since Tom Araya is a Christian Hell, last I heard so is Glen Benton of Deicide, hehe.

 

[legacyzero]

Hmm Red?

Red - Breathe Into Me
Red - Already Over

Dunno lol

BEATEN!

Red is awesome because they are widely known as Christian metal, but they dont force it down your throat, yet they figure out a creative way to weave Christian value into the lyrics in a clever way.

also see their newest ones:

Feed The Machine

Death of Me

You gotta be shitting me :lol

Deicide is a pretty awful band anyway, and Benton is just.. man, he's really just laughable. You can't take that guy seriously.

OP, there's Extol, Antestor and Horde too. Yeah yeah, I know they're sorta black metal all three, but eh whatever

 

[cacophony]

As Cities Burn
The Chariot

 

[GDGF]

Really? Do you every pay attention to their lyrics, it's pretty obvious in some songs.

Not really, no

(I meant I haven't really paid attention to their lyrics. I've only heard a few songs. It's just the guy I know who listens to them isn't really the kind of guy I thought would be into christian rock)

 

[Nappuccino]

You might like King's X. They're recognized for being grunge before grunge and, are admittedly, more alternative than metal.

They're not a straight christian band (and they hate when people classify them as such)

but their drummer is on record as saying "We're not a christian band, but ever there has ever been a christian band, we are one."

Wrap your head around that and enjoy the (mostly) spiritually positive mix of beatles, blacksabbath, and gospel.

(lots of tracks to give you a pretty good idea of their overall sound)

 

[Azuran]

Slayer wrote a song about anti-abortion once. Does that make them Christians?

 

[Nappuccino]

Isn't their drummer christian?

 

[Azuran]

Isn't their drummer christian?

Tom Araya, their bassist and vocalist. I'm still asking myself how is that possible.

Edit: Never mind. I just noticed for the first time that Kerry writes all the anti-religion stuff.
