Favorite Christian Band Line-ups

What is your favorite Christian band of musicians? Not your favorite band, but your favorite group of musicians that made music. For example, there is the Once dead era of Vengeance and then the "Roger Rising" version. Hopefully this makes sense.


Favorite # 1 is the early 91-93 Mortification lineup of Rowe, Carlisle, and Sherlock. That is one tight 3 piece. They made arguably the best Christian thrash/death metal.

My second favorite is the Weapons era Deliverance. Brown, Ochoa, Kairullah, and Hyde is just solid as hell.

The first-album lineup of Die Happy

Barren Cross (four studio albums, no lineup changes!)

Once Dead era Vengeance
Weapons era Deliverance
S/T era Living Sacrifice
the Crucified-Pillars era

Once Dead
The line-up that played Elements of Rock in Switzerland was FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC!
Angelo Espino (bass), Larry Farkas (guitar), Glenn Rogers (guitar), Doug Thieme (guitar) and Jim Chaffin (drums) w. myself singing. I really wish this line-up would have been able to record a CD, but it just didn't work out like that.

Vengeance Rising
The classic line-up of course: Farkas, Martinez, Martin, Thieme, Mancaruso.

Deliverance
Gotta go with the first line-up: Jimmy Brown, Glenn RogersBrian Khairullah, Chris Hyde.

PLACE OF SKULLS:
Lee Abney - bass
Victor Griffin - gtr/vox
Tim Tomaselli - drums

- the original lineup which is now back together!

Didn't know that. Awesome.

Tourniquet-The POD lineup.

Deliverance-Weapons Era.

I agree with Barren Cross. Wish they had a bigger catalog.

Pretty much what has already been said......

s/t--- Living sacrifice
Weapons --- Deliverance
Human sacrifice/Once dead--- Vengeance Rising
Stop the bleeding--- Tourniquet
s/t/theater of war-- Jacobs Dream
Awakening--- Narnia(two man army right there!)
Scrolls/break the curse--- Mortification

I really liked George Ochoa in Deliverance as well. Great line up

I'll put a plug in for the classic line up for Barnabas:
Nancy Jo Mann
Gary Mann
Brian Belew
Kris Klingensmith

Saviour Machine II line up

seems to be a lot of posts on this site about christian metal. I'm not particularly religious myself but can iIventure an opinion that it's the music that counts and not the religious beliefs of the band.

Nothing against christian metal as such, if I come across a band that plays good music then I will pay attention.

Tourniquet - Psycho Surgery lineup
Mortification - S/T lineup
Deliverance - Weapons lineup
Rob Rock - Holy Hell lineup
VR - Once Dead lineup

Vengeance Rising - Once Dead Lineup
Tourniquet - Pyscho Surgery lineup
Seventh Angel - The Torment lineup
Mortification - Scrolls lineup
Living Sacrifice - Inhabit Lineup
Horde - Helig Usvart Lineup
Believer - Sanity Obscure lineup

Horde - Helig Usvart Lineup

Most would disagree with me on the first one, but:

TOURNIQUET (Microscopic Line-up)
Vocals-Luke Easter
Guitars-Aaron Guerra
Drums-Ted Kirkpatrick

JACOB'S DREAM
w/ David Taylor (Chaz ain't bad but the last one was, IMO, their weakest)


SAVIOUR MACHINE
Vocals-Eric Clayton
Guitars-Jeff Clayton
Keyboards-Nathan Van Hala

I'm not as familiar enough with Christian music as I would like to be so I can't really do better than that.
