Favourite christian thrash band?

Of this ten, if your favourite isn't listed, then write it down!



My choice - Tourniquet (closely followed by Believer).

Seventh Angel for me.

I would have to say Vengeance Rising.

Probably Vengeance Rising, as they were the first lyrically Christian band I heard.

It would be tough to rank them. I really dig 'em all!

I'll have to say BELIEVER....

But tell me more about this ULTIMATUM band....

Are they good? Do they rock!!???

Probably Vengeance Rising. They have long been one of my favorites, but
Deliverance and Believer would come in a real close second.



I love Ultimatum. Thanks to whoever voted for us. That's some tough competition there.

I had to go with Detritus. Their two albums are brilliant, especially "If But For One"...one of the best C-metal albums of all time period. I also REALLY like Believer!!

Believer, followed by Ultimatum, Vengeance, Tourniquet, and Deliverance.




Arttie

Viking wasn't really Christian.



Voted Ulty. I think you guys have put out the most quality
material. VR was great, but Mr. Martinez ruined thier legacy for
me. Tourniquet, LS, and Deliverance never stuck with the style I
dig most, and the others only put out a couple of albums {a long time
ago].

Viking was not a christian band.

early living sacrifice i guess

What about Man of Straw?

A couple of the guys in Viking became Christians before the release of Man of Staw. A song like "The Trial" leaves no doubt about that. However, I don't think I would label them a Chrisian band either.

Vengeance, closly followed by Believer, Deliverance, Ultimatum etc...

Deliverance, followed by Believer. Met Jimmy Brown before a show in NC. They opened for One Bad Pig. They were playing the Recon CD before the show (before the album was released) and I remember think "Hey, is this the new helloween?") - the show was after Weapons was recorded, but before it was released. I missed most of the OBP show because I was back stage talking to Deliverance.

I saw Believer on the Extraction tour at this tiny club in Fredricksburg, Va - I was sore for the next week from the mosh pit. I met the band and remember Kurt telling us he drank chocolate milk before and during the show to "help"
his singing.



Saw Beliver

Tourniquet, Deliverance, VR....never understood the appeal of Believer, too "much" for me, I guess...but clearly skilled guys with great lyrics...

I saw Deliverance and Believer together at the same show in
Germany. Took me almost 15 years to remember that (thanks Rex!).

Sacrament is my choice.

Wow! Votes are really spread out on this one. Surprised actually. I though Vengeance or Deliverance would take it.

I am not a Christian, but I do try and respect others beliefs. There are some really good Christian bands, that could and did easily compete with any secular bands. Out of that list I think the best is Living Sacrifice. As far as talent I would have to pick Sacrament, those guys are so talented. When I saw them live, i was floored

I'm not a christian too, and I really don't like the lyrics, which are, how should I say.. "over-the-top" preachy, for example Human Sacrifice - Jesus this, Jesus that... Tourniquet's last album has great lyrics in my opinion, or the last Devastation album (yes, I know that they aren't a christian band, but check Souls of Sacrifice (for example) lyrics, and check the liner notes too, and you'll see that they thank God on the first place...).

Devastation are awesome. Yeah, I know they aren't a "Christian metal band", per se, although some of the songs have lyrics that can be interpreted as Christian. Idolatry is their best album...one of the most underrated metal bands of all time.

i didnt even know Viking were a christian band. i picked deliverance though |m|

They weren't. Read Scott's comments. That band really sold out, though, not because of music, but because the lead singer, in an interview, HATES metal now, and is a preacher.
