Chrisitian Hardcore....

[3rdActguitarist]

I used the searchbar, and, well, I didn't look very hard, but nothing came up so....

What are some good Chrisitian hardcore/metalcore bands?

I know the obvious ones like August Burns Red, The Devil Wears Prada, Underoath, Demon Hunter.

I'm looking for stuff that I can draw inspiration from, and seeing as how I'm a born-again chrisitian, I figured some good christian hardcore bands might do the trick

P.S. Please don't make this a flame-thread about religion

[Survivalism]

Zao, anyone?

[Echoplex]

Skillet? They are somewhat hardcore and somewhat inspirational i guess.

[fieryfenderz]

skillet definitely arent hardcore.
I like extol's cd undeceived but that's more like Christian death metal.

[whatadrag]

becoming the archetype
Blessthefall

they're both great but waaaaaay different styles..

[dethamphetamine]

Mayhem and Cannibal Corpse are good, wholesome bands.

[HavokStrife]

skillet definitely arent hardcore.
I like extol's cd undeceived but that's more like Christian death metal.

Christian death metal? Now isn't that..? Like the whole 'christian metal' thing made any sense to begin with..

[metalisbest]

I had no clue that August Burns Red was a Christian band, let alone hardcore!!!

[Echoplex]

skillet definitely arent hardcore.
I like extol's cd undeceived but that's more like Christian death metal.
I listened to Extol once, not knowing that they were christian. As with most deathmetal, their lyrics were incomprehensible.

[cblowrun]

I Am Terrified For The World!

[fieryfenderz]

Oh, Sleeper
Demon Hunter

[STABxYOU]

Living Sacrifice.

[fieryfenderz]

I listened to Extol once, not knowing that they were christian. As with most deathmetal, their lyrics were incomprehensible.
I must listen to too much of it, because I can understand a ton of lyrics off that cd without looking them up.

[fieryfenderz]

Christian death metal? Now isn't that..? Like the whole 'christian metal' thing made any sense to begin with..
There's also Christian black metal. Confusing isn't it?

[IcePh0enix]

There's also Christian black metal. Confusing isn't it?
Wait...what?! Isn't black metal supposed to be anti-christian? Do they just do it for teh lulz?

Face the Sunshine anyone?

You listen to Emmure and Liferuiner.

Judging by your username and favorite music, I almost think you're a troll.

I see the word "troll" come up a lot, is that someone that browses forums looking to intentionally agitate and get into arguments? I'm not up on my internet lingo.

Yeah pretty much. Someone who intentionally tries to piss other people off and start arguements.

[technicolour]

eh, not digging most of these bands, God so loved is pretty cool though.

[Okeefe Is Legit]

For Today is a super duper stupendously amazing band you should definitely listen to. Like seriously.

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=7684873

Other bands:
Gwen Stacy
Haste the Day
Maylene and the Sons of Disaster (more southern metal but still amazing)
mewithoutyou
Mychildren MYbride
Norma Jean
Oh, Sleeper
A Plea For Purging
Sea of Treachery
Second Theif
Showbread (more "screamo" than hardcore, but they're still a must listen)
Sleeping Giant
War of Ages
Winter Solstice (I think?)
and Impending Doom if you're into blast beats every other measure...

[cxrlxscr]

Underneath The Gun. It's more deathcore than metalcore, but still a great band. They are all devoted Christians.

How much is Facedown Records paying you?

[waldorphPRS41]

Comeback Kid Is Not, And Never Was A Christian Band!
I used to read huge interviews with them in HM back in highschool and that is a big Christian magazine. Their lyrics might not have been but the people were, original line up at least.

[saxaxe]

mewithoutYou and The Showdown are my favorite Christian bands. They're the only ones I'm really into that much.

[newhybr1d]

Destroy the Runner is pretty good.

[Okeefe Is Legit]

I actually listen to all of those bands before I realized that they were on Facedown. (some before they were even signed on)

And what can I say, they sign good christian bands.

[zero716]

Well, nobody mentioned older Killswitch Engage. Jesse Leach is an amazing vocalist and AOJB and their self-titled rock!

[IfDaysEnd]

Where's Zao?

this interview with andrew will explain it : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43KJbkSrQ6w

only andrew and jeremy were christian. right now, jeremy is the only christian in the band. they were never a christian band but they were lumped in the group because they were signed to a christian label, who were friends with andrew.

I didn't watch the video but I believe you. They were just pushed as a Christian band when they first started, even if only half of them were.

[zero716]

I don't believe I saw anyone mention Still Remains either. They are very good.

[AmericanNervoso]

as i lay dying > everything

you're a ****ing idiot.

You listen to Emmure and Liferuiner.

enough said.

no YOU ARE

[Chris Pool]

there is a new band out there and they are called "Before Their Eyes", check their song "city in a snow globe" its really good and also check out "life as a dream"

[fieryfenderz]

bless the fall
as i lay dying
all that remains
all that remains are definitely not a christian band.
Phil labonte has apparently claimed Christianity before, but based on language on stage, constant pot smoking, and none of the other members saying anything about it, im guessing thats untrue.

[_EnigmA_]

Who says Christians can't smoke pot? The closest the bible comes to mentioning pot is a possible reference to it being one of the ingredients in the anointing oil in the temple.

[fieryfenderz]

It can be harmful to your body if you do it too much, your body is the temple of God so thus take care of it, etc.

[waldorphPRS41]

First off the Bible says to obey the laws of the land unless they clearly go against God's word. Second, it's the same as getting drunk because your in an altered state of mind. Drinking is not a sin but the Bible clearly talks against getting drunk.

[mikey son]

Why do you want bands who are just christian?
metalcore barely has few gems in it in the first place but by wanting just christian bands you eliminating all the best bands
plus what if a band never states whether they are or not a christian?
or do you just want whorship metalcore bands who praise jesus in their songs?

[Coheed777]

I guess the OP just wanted to know some good stuff where he didnt have to worry bout cussing. I dunno. I listen to Christian and non Christian bands.

It mostly for ispirational purposes. I don't just listen to christian hardcore. I listen Throwdown, Carnifex, Atreyu, BFMV, heck, I even listen Slayer regularly. I just wanted some more christian hardcore act that I can listen to and learn from

[ZakkRox90]

Oh, Sleeper
Demon Hunter

The Chariot
Norma Jean
Haste the Day

Mychildren Mybride is amazing, the vocalists gauges are hugeee

I know. I saw them live like a month ago. his gauges are massive.

[MGuitar24]

I am not sure if they are christian or not...because they didn't select that as part of their genre on myspace but i read the lyrics of their album and it seems that there could be a possibility.

Check out the Band Attack Attack!

I recently put a couple of songs by them on my Ipod.
That "Curses! Another Shapshifting...(w/e)" is pretty sick.
The other song was named "Complete Relinquish" or something like that and it was ... different ... but i still liked the fact that they can write stuff like the first song I mentioned and yet still slow things down, add piano, and sing with it as well.

Not to mention his voice isnt all that bad.

[BassNewbie]

I honestly never noticed how AILD are Christian. I'm not arguing it, I just cant really see it

i can really well

[Floyd93]

A troll is someone who picks fights on the internet. (chatrooms, forums etc.)

and if u wanna find some good christian hardcore/metal
bands u should go to either www.solidstaterecords.com or www.facedownrecords.com any band signed by either record company should be decent at least.

[livingbankrupt]

It can be harmful to your body if you do it too much, your body is the temple of God so thus take care of it, etc.

Please don't throw baseless scriptures around. First, what is different between smoking weed and drinking coffee? Both are stimulants or whatever. Second, "your body is a temple of God"? Do you know the context? its talking about not sleeping with prostitutes in the city of Corinth.

[livingbankrupt]

Out of curiosity...are there any hardcore bands that are christian? I mean like real hardcore, not metalcore.

Before Tooth and Nail started Solid State they were signing some awesome hardcore bands. Overcome, Focused, Strong Arm, Focal Point, early Stretch Arm Strong..

All these bands carried a similar feel. Think Shai Hulud.



oh and.

There are way too many Christian metalcore bands ugh.
