Stryper will take credit for the first 'god metal' band but there is never a clear answer to these types of questions I remember Stryper in the 80's and they could scream as good as any contemporary metal band. Another band I never saw was called Petra from around the same time.
The band is hardcore, but not christian affiliated.
No, they cuss in quite a few songs.
no its a hard core nd meltal type of band.
Hatebreed
Mind Garage was supposedly one of the first..
Well these are Christian rock bands: Paramore and Flyleaf. Another Christian emo band is ravish... myspace.com/ravishrocks or at facebook.com/ravishrocks
No, In Flames is not a Christian band, they are just a hard rock band.
Yes, Thousand Foot Krutch is an amazing Christian hard rock band.
No, Tantric is a post-grunge, hard rock band.
No, The Answer are a Northern Irish hard rock and blues-rock band from Newcastle and Downpatrick, County Down, Northern Ireland.
You cannot consider them a christian band, or that depends on how you define "the band". Their music is not christian music, but the persons in the band are christians. You can also sense that in their lyrics.
How about flesh rot?? haha
