- I'm in the business of promoting heavy metal bands that proclaim Jesus' name, so in this video I share with you five MORE Christian metal bands that are actually gospel-centered. If you haven't checked out the first video I did on actual Christian metal bands, you can watch it here: • 5 Christian Metal Band...

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.
See? Some people (rather very few) comment on my channel and others' about Christian messages shouldn't be on heavy metal music, but I'm like, this music is keeping a lot of people centered in Christ! I agree that beautiful sacred music is "better" or more appropriate, at least in worship/liturgy, but we need to have Christ everywhere! Even metal.
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
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 :)
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.
Totally agree with you brother, "Demoniciduth" it's pretty Christi centered band in my opinion. Last album "enemy of satan" it's quite heavy
Mortification is the OG Christian extreme metal band
Another fun bit Hellhammer the drummer for Mayhem and many many black metal projects actually did the drums on several of the songs on antestor and he is literally who pioneered Black Metal Drumming so it's funny when people say Christian black metal isn't actually black metal can sit and spin lol 😂 also Another fun Christian Black Metal band is Pantokrator
Thanks, Josiah! There's a couple of bands on this list I'll definitely be checking out... blessings!
Glad you enjoyed it! Blessings to you as well!
The serpents tongue is a song addressing satanic black metal artists, like a prayer for them in song form. Pretty cool 😎
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.
Thanks so much man! I love it when artists find my videos (it just makes the world feel so much smaller lol). Love how you're making music for the glory of God! Hope you have a wonderful day too!
@@JosiahNordquist Glory to God. Bless you brother. Stay encouraged in Jesus Christ.
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!
That's awesome! I love this video:) God bless y'all
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 🔥.
I've listened to Your Memorial a few times but certainly am due for a revisit. And I don't know if I've ever listened to the other suggestions, so I'm excited to check them out! And thanks haha! WATG is the 🐐
@@JosiahNordquist random question but the WATG shirt you got was it true to size. I want to know before I pick one up.
@@joshua8747 I wear a large and mine fits a bit snug. I think it shrunk a little bit in the wash, but I don't know if that's because they're meant to shrink a little bit or I just don't know how to wash my clothes properly lol
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!
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!
Love to hear it! I'm glad you get to discover so many great artists at once lol. Hope you enjoy!
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.
What about fit for a king?
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
Definitely going to check these out. Thanks for the list!
❤❤
🤣 I made that Impending Doom comment on the last one like 2 seconds ago bro. 🤣 thata funny. Love your videos dude.
Lovely! I always need more tips like this!
Haha thanks man! I'll do my best to keep them coming!
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.
Thanks so much!!
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.
Check out Paramaecium
What about fit for a king? Apple says they’re “Texas Christian metal” whatever that means… but they’re pretty good and heavy
Love the boys in Intercessor and Meadows!
Great video man. I recommend you to listen to Blue Fire Horizen. They are so good and so Christ-centered.
Thanks Uriel! I'll give them a listen!
Great video! Love this! Christian metal is 🔥
Hey, I'll suggest Earth Groans but I warn you they are a "Chaotic Metal" band XD Great videos mhan! Godspeed
Saving Grace- Man of Sorrow. You'll love that song I believe.
War Of Ages is one of my top 5 bands, and near the top of that list.
2tm2,3 band from Poland ( mix style music : metal rock punk reggae ), Armia band from Poland(punkrock), Luxtorpeda band from Poland (rock)
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 !
Great video, Haste the day is awesome! You should check out Exiting the Fall. God bless! :)
Thank you!!! This list is so valuable since many Christians bands really aren't Christian.
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
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.
One of my favorite bands is My Epic. They have a mixture of soft and hard songs and are signed to facedown records.
Check out "Bride" brother they go back a bit but I've listened to them for a long time
You should check out windvent :)
Hey ! What about Theocracy ? , their song I AM Instruí One Of The Most Glorious Productions l have ever heard talking about lyrics and music .
Make an apple playlist!!
Just wanna say your awesome
Haha that's really kind of you to say! As a matter of fact, you're awesome too!
Any suggestions for Godly symphonic metal (without Gregorian chanting)?
You're sorely missing Pantokrator. Their newest record is absolutely killer.
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.
SECONDED! Oh, Sleeper is not just my favorite Christian band, but just all around my favorite band.

Check out Sleeping Giant, if you haven't yet. To me, its full on Christian worship and I love them
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 man, I'm doing great! How are you doing! Thanks so much for these suggestions. I listen to Fit for a King quite a bit (I'm in the same boat as you as far as not being super sure where they stand in their faith), but I haven't listened to the other bands you suggested too much, so I'll check them out. So glad to hear you've come back to God's good and perfect love! That's so awesome! Thanks for your kind words, and God bless you as well!
Have you listened to A Secret Ending? If not highly recommend you do
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.
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
I really appreciate these suggestions! I'll check them out!
Hey bro check out diamonds to dust.
I've heard a lot of good things about them! I'll definitely check them out!
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 😂
Comrades are pretty cool if you haven't checked them out
Resurrected Divinity!!!!!! Hurry up!
Check out Bears the Lion. They are so sick
You definitely missed the band "The Frontrunner"!!
Check out Paramecium
I think you really need to check out theocracy
Christian Metal is the Future
Glassland?
Veni Domine
Yes!!!! Love them.
Gold Frankincense & Myrrh
Have you heard of for today
Grave Declaration is another amazing black metal christian band (Its techniclly 'unblack metal' but that sound reaaaaaally stupid so Im not gonna say it)
Wow still no fit for a king interesting
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
You can't spell Riley without L
