I have always liked Haste the Day's music as a Christian, but got confused at their breakup when I read that they broke up because guitarist Jason left when he announced he was "No longer Christian", because the way I see it, is that you were never really a Christian in the first place if you decided you are just "No longer Christian", but I learned that he was actually asked by the band to step down and leave for what he said. So I'm super happy for Haste the Day for doing the right thing and only keeping true people of God in their lineup.

Thanks for these videos. Since becoming a Christian, music has been my biggest struggle. Finding good Christian bands that are heavy has been challenging. To add to the list, For Today, though defunct, were a huge influence in my conversion and Memphis May Fire are great too.

Thanks, Josiah! There's a couple of bands on this list I'll definitely be checking out... blessings!

Hey Josiah God bless you bro. I just wanted to say I found this video and your previous video on this topic encouraging and edifying. I create music for the glory of Jesus Christ. Specifically centered around ambient posthardcore and other metal sub genres. I don’t mean to plug myself in here like that, but I agree 100% about finding bands that actually share gospel and who’s lyrics are biblically/theologically sound. I say that because in creating music for God’s glory I want to create the music I want to hear, music that professes the name of Christ without ambiguity. Again thank you, and God bless you and your family. Have a wonderful day.

Speaking of Christian black metal, there a ton of good ones. Antestor, Slecthvalk, Extol, Lengsel, and Crimson Moonlight to name a few. Another couple classic Christian metal bands who I consider to be the two most pivotal Christian extreme metal bands are Mortification and Living Sacrifice. Definitely give them a listen too.

I really like Saving Grace’s album “The King is Coming” the imagery and raw sound really gives me chills. You should check them out :)

Thank you!!! This list is so valuable since many Christians bands really aren't Christian.

Awesome picks! War of Ages and Haste The Day were a huge part of my high school experience! Here's to hoping I make your next list!! God bless!

Solid video brother. War of Ages is hands down my all time favorite. So much passion & uplifting lyrics to encourage my walk with Christ. Another favorite of mine is Your Memorial though they are no longer together. Not sure if your only sticking to currently active bands or not. If that’s the case here’s a few I’ve been listening to lately. Confessions of a Traitor who just signed with Facedown, Color me Valiant, Windvent & Plead the widows cause. Btw dig the T. WATG is 🔥.

Thank you for making these videos! I found Demon Hunter, & other amazing Christian bands through your other video. They are now some of my favorites! God bless you brother!

The serpents tongue is a song addressing satanic black metal artists, like a prayer for them in song form. Pretty cool 😎

I am going through and adding all the songs and albums you have recommended in these two videos, and I am going to check them out in a bit, I can't wait!

What about fit for a king? Apple says they’re “Texas Christian metal” whatever that means… but they’re pretty good and heavy

Sleeping Giant and Holy Name have some of the same members and are basically "Worship-core". Look for Sleeping Giants song Tithemi and Holy Name's song Creed. These two songs are good examples of songs that if you take the metal out, could be worship songs on a Sunday morning.

Dude... For Today... They're probably one of, if not the most, openly Christian metal band of all time. I think they probably do it the best as well. Matty is actually a pastor now. I think it was like 2016 or 18 they broke up because God called him to be a pastor. Thanks for the content. God bless

That's awesome! I love this video:) God bless y'all

Lovely! I always need more tips like this!

Flames Of Fire's "Our Blessed Hope" is a must-have album for Christian metal fans! Their music glorifies and praises our Lord Jesus Christ like no other. Highly recommended for those who love powerful and meaningful metal music with a Christian message.

Great video for sure. Here is a brief few that are great CHRISTIAN metal bands. Context Then it ends Bloodlines For all eternity Earth groans Weeping hour Reverie Exiting the fall Send me home (the struggle) Rival chior Colossus Reformers

Thanks so much!!

What about fit for a king?

🤣 I made that Impending Doom comment on the last one like 2 seconds ago bro. 🤣 thata funny. Love your videos dude.

Great video man. I recommend you to listen to Blue Fire Horizen. They are so good and so Christ-centered.

One of my favorite Christian metal bands is mortification one of the heaviest Christian metal bands. They kind of vary from brutal death metal and thrash. Pretty good.

Great video! Love this! Christian metal is 🔥

Love the boys in Intercessor and Meadows!

Saving Grace- Man of Sorrow. You'll love that song I believe.

2tm2,3 band from Poland ( mix style music : metal rock punk reggae ), Armia band from Poland(punkrock), Luxtorpeda band from Poland (rock)

Hey, I'll suggest Earth Groans but I warn you they are a "Chaotic Metal" band XD Great videos mhan! Godspeed

Check out "Bride" brother they go back a bit but I've listened to them for a long time

My personal favorite Christian bands are The Chariot, Harp & Lyre, Showbread, and Silent Planet they're all so creative with their respective music and their lyrical content really displays the Gospel at work

One of my favorite bands is My Epic. They have a mixture of soft and hard songs and are signed to facedown records.

I just recently started putting out Christian rock and metal music. I'm probably no where near as good as these guys on the list but still check out my songs if you get the chance. "Vengeance" is about how God's patience toward sin will not last forever, and "Sandcastle" is on Jesus's parable of the man who built his house on the sand instead of the rock.

Check out Sleeping Giant, if you haven't yet. To me, its full on Christian worship and I love them

You're sorely missing Pantokrator. Their newest record is absolutely killer.

Just wanna say your awesome

War Of Ages is one of my top 5 bands, and near the top of that list.

You should check out windvent :)

Hi brother ! Just wanted to say love you're vids and : were are you ??? its been 10 months sence you've uploaded a video ! I miss you ! You're the only christan guy that I know who likes metal songs ! Also, if you read this, you forgot the band ''For Today'' in their 2012 album, its the full Jesus metal paradise ! go check it out if you want, but yeah... hava good day !

Make an apple playlist!!

oh, sleeper is a great one for one of these lists. they are super controversial but once you really dig deeper, you can easily tell that they are truly christian.

Seventh day slumber Magdalene rose GFM Disciple are all amazing Christian bands

Have you listened to A Secret Ending? If not highly recommend you do

Hey ! What about Theocracy ? , their song I AM Instruí One Of The Most Glorious Productions l have ever heard talking about lyrics and music .

Killswitch Engage's lyrics often seem to point directly at God. Though in their case I don't think it's intentional. In fact I think they've even criticised christianity but don't quote me on that. Songs like 'this is absolution' and 'reject yourself' seem to use a lot of Christian terminology and definitely mirror the message of the gospel. I always find it frustrating when an individual or group is so close to the Christian message but won't acknowledge what it actually is.

Any suggestions for Godly symphonic metal (without Gregorian chanting)?

Hey Josiah, how are you doing? i found some christian metal bands and i wanted to share them with you. Fit For a King is a heavy metal band i think, i'm not 100% sure that this band is christian thoguh, because they have some songs that are quite doubty, like Dead Memory, i don't know if they are showing a man who is struggling or they are talking about themselves, but then they make a song like God of Fire and you say "ok this is obviously christian". next is In the MIdst of Lions, i think they don't make more music, but the 3 albums that they made, are awesome. same happens with these bands: With Blood Comes Cleansing, I Built The Cross, A Thousand Times Repent, This Divided World, Flesh War and A Prophets Exlie, the made some albums some years ago and then they dissapeared, but those albums are pure fire. then, to finish, is Unto The Beast and Becoming The Archetype, i happened the same with these two, but they started making music again on 2022 and 2021. they are in total 9 bands, i'm sorry for the extra-large comment haha (pd: all these bands excepting Fit For a KIng and In The Midst of Lions, are deathcore bands, similar to Impending Doom) btw, i love your videos, they helped me finding my music genre, and most important, thanks to you i came back to the Lord's perfect love, thanks for everithing and God bless you bro! edit: i forgot to mention these bands: Abated Mass of Flesh and Admonished lol

Hey bro check out diamonds to dust.

Check out celldweller/circle of dust. Not every song celldweller has is exactly Christian themed , but circle of dust is. Celldweller/circle of Dust is the same guy that makes the music. The theme of the music is how our modern technology sort of makes a disconnect from god. Notable songs Celldweller-Jericho Celldweller-Blind lead the blind Celldweller- my disintegration Celldweller- baptized in fire Celldweller- new elysium There are many more from celldweller. Circle of Dust-Contagion Circle of dust- machines of are disgrace Circle of dust- technological disguise Circle of dust- alt human Sorry if this text is all over the place. I do want to mention that celldweller and Circle Dust are a fusion of electronica music and rock and metal

There’s so many good bands out there like my favorite Undefeated, Protest, Chaotic Resemblance, Divine Martyr, Relent, Vials of Wrath you could make at least another 10 videos and still not get them all 😂

I think you really need to check out theocracy

You definitely missed the band "The Frontrunner"!!

Resurrected Divinity!!!!!! Hurry up!

Comrades are pretty cool if you haven't checked them out

Christian Metal is the Future

Veni Domine

Check out Bears the Lion. They are so sick

Glassland?

Check out Paramecium

Have you heard of for today

Gold Frankincense & Myrrh

Wow still no fit for a king interesting

Grave Declaration is another amazing black metal christian band (Its techniclly 'unblack metal' but that sound reaaaaaally stupid so Im not gonna say it)

And now it's going to get more interesting with.. *cough cough* AI Christian metal. Just sayin'

You didn’t know that Impending Doom is deathcore!? L
