The Black Dahlia Murder

What are your thoughts on them? Are they "christian friendly" or at least have some songs like this?

Death metal? Thrash metal?

I like death metal, thrash metal and when you mix in black metal to death or thrash it sounds pretty cool and if you mix death and thrash its awsome and if you mix all three id assume youd get something kinda like toxic holocaust. What are some cool bands that yall think id like. Also i dont like black metal by itself exept the band immortal theyre decent.

Should I be listening to Sabaton as a Christian?

I’ve felt convicted of a few songs on the Carolus Rex album and all of Metalizer, but as far as everything else goes I love how they tell stories from history.

St. Peter's Cross - Christian/Catholic metal test run

I've been testing some AI generated content for some metal music generation. Developed the idea of a metal band called St. Peter's Cross.

Here's a song that was created in the process.

ST PETER'S CROSS - Archangel's Descent (youtube.com)

Have some more coming depending on how many people like.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Is Orphaned Land ok for Christians?

Does Orphaned Land have songs with occult/satanic themes? I know they're not Christian, but I've seen them very vaguely possibly connected with the latter on the internet...

Does anyone have any precise info?

My wife and a friend and I were talking, and now I’m wondering if there’s any metal bands who sing about church/Bible history in the same manner (not necessarily style) as Sabaton.

Sacra Theosis: (FULL SUITE) "Darkness Has Fallen" 4-Part SYMPHONIC POWER METAL, ORCHESTRAL METAL

This came up on my YouTube suggestions. Aside from the AI art playing throughout the video, the music is fantastic. If you're a fan of symphonic metal you'll enjoy this. Male and female vocals, includes harmonizing. Part 3 of the suite is my favorite.

WITH THE DAWN THE STONE ROLLED AWAY, DARK WOLF DEFEATED IN LIGHT OF DAY FROM DEATH'S DARK SHROUD, HE EMERGES STRONG, THE DIVINE SHEPHERD HIS REIGN'S BEGUN!!!!

Think they have have an Eastern Christian (Orthodox) influence so, that's not my cup of tea, but the songs I've listened to so far don't venture too far into that besides having some Latin parts, which just make the songs even cooler. Think this suite is all about Easter. Gonna have to check put their other songs.

Bubble gum music meets Metal

Just found this trio of sisters. They're pretty good, with interesting blend of bubble gum high school girl music (I don't listen to that style at all) and heavy metal. Band is called Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh https://youtu.be/5u1Dy5I17bs?si=Kv3eTZJEE-MUK8_A

Bandcamp friday this week 4/5

Bandcamp Friday means the site is waiving their cut of purchases made, so more money goes to support the artists. Always a good time to snag tunes and merch. Opprobrium also has a checkout code that will still be up Friday for 50% off all their stuff.

Any other recommendations for good Christian metal to grab and support? ( or fill in the blank core, just don't tell the mods 🤣 )
