To each his own...

any interest in me posting some of the best of those bands so you can hear what they sound like??

As crazy as it sounds... The harder they get the more beautiful they get sometimes too...

like... they off-set just primal screaming and thrashing guitars with piano and almost whispered singing... its just... its amazing what some of those bands do and the emotions they portray using differences in styles and using screaming and singing and everything in between...

just wanna make sure at least someone will give 'em a listen before I find decent versions on the web...

Go ahead and post some from the ones that are harder than Petra but not the really, really, really hard stuff you mentioned. I have been meaning to find time to hear them.

The reason I basically stopped listening to Christian rock was that in the early 90's the "thrash" music began taking over. I could not bear it. I really just recently have started looking into it again.

I'll post some mellower stuff and some harder stuff }=o)

warning: There may be a lot of "Naruto" (and other anime tv show) videos with the music as background (no tv show audio, though), for some reason anime fans like some of the Christian bands a lot... lol

Skillet and Day Of Fire sounded good. Emery and Demon Hunter sound demonic.

demons have a specific vocal quality???

besides, they're totally different...

Emery was whine-singing (the slow parts) and screaming...

DH was growling...

I don't like Kutless and a lot of it is my music-snobbery...

See, thier first album is a 100% Creed ripoff stylistically (one of the songs "Tonight" is even a chord for chord theft of a Creed song)

then they release thier second album right after the Modern Worship Boom (and the "Creed ripoff backlash" to everyone else) and suddenly they are a modern worship band...

They are either really fake or God convieniently leads them to play music in the genres where they can make the most money the easiest... either way, I can't stand them for it...

John & Dino Elefante produced a heavy metal hymns album in the late 80's.... Barren Cross's lead singer did a great rendition of Nothing but the Blood of Jesus. Guardian's lead singer and John Elefante switched off vocals on He's Got the Whole World in His Hands. We did He's Got the Whole World... as a Puppet skit in our kids crusade last month. Been waiting 20 years to use that song. Finally did it....lol
