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 hard rock/metal/punk, available to rockers, it is absolutely possible to find a metal/hard rock/punk band that fits your taste and glorifies your Savior.
