The Crucified was hard core when I was in high school. That song Pure by Superchick is pretty catchy. Jeff Buckley has some okay stuff. His cover of Cohen’s Hallelujah is clean. Unfortunately I think that’s about it. That’s the end of the list for Christian music that I like, other than choir music. I listened to a guy named Joel Weldon out of necessity when I was really young, but after discovering secular music I realized just how boring he was.
I listened to a lot of Christian genres, especially rock and metal but stopped when I discovered secular bands with deeper, more meaningful lyrics, and better sound.
One can only take the same “I am terrible, he is worthy” themes repeated over and over before you gotta move on.
Give me Christian Cannibal Corpse and Christian Taylor Swift and I’ll consider. Worship music is shit music and it all sounds the same.
But really this is just an attempt for isolation and thought control.
As I Lay Dying is a pretty sick “Christian” band and irrc, most if not all songs are about that.
But the lead singer was caught trying to hire a hitman to kill his ex wife. So there’s that.
Oh unearth is another one.
Wtf??
Well, I guess his attempt to rebrand to “As She Lay Dying” backfired.

Elvenking’s album The Pagan Manifesto is pretty awesome.
TL;DL: pagans make better music than Christians
Have you never heard Christian Death Metal? Mortification is pretty heavy

Have you ever heard of Christian noise music? potentially the only art they are unable to ruin.
