Question: What is Christian Metal / Hard Rock?

Answer: Hard Rock fans, be they Christian or not, tend to like more edge to their music. From the underground days of the Resurrection Band of the late 1970's to the 1980's, when Stryper put Christian Metal on the map, the genre has twisted, turned and grown. With several styles of metal, such as melodic metal, classic metal, speed metal, thrash metal and screamo available to metal-heads, it is absolutely possible to find a metal band that fits your taste and glorifies your Savior.

Some of the more popular Christian Metal bands of today are:

    Kutless
    Thousand Foot Krutch
    Bride
    12 Stones
