Good rock/metal christian songs
« on: April 16, 2026, 09:38:17 AM »
This topic is dedicated to good christian music or bands which is not in the form of traditional gregorian chants. 

Dedicated to St Joan of Arc, from Dark Moor :



From Powerwolf, Sanctus Dominus :



From Powerwolf again, Bete du Givaudan :



From Theocracy, I am :

Hard to pretend I find Christian power metal anything other than cringe sorry.

Profane genres should have profane subject matter.  Too much dissonance when sacred matter is put to profane music.

Closest I can get is Christopher Lee's symphonic metal, e.g. this album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro1nk8ZKi0I&list=PL_TaS3ukydpJa8ajJlaMO_ZEZ4SjXOxcS

Can you explain how that is related to the topic at hand? :facepalm:

I wondered why there aren't any decent rock or metal bands with Catholic messages, it simply doesn't work. Trying to write music myself, the subject matter must fit the form. There's a reason most of these groups are protestant/non-denominational. Organ Gregorian Chants are all you need and suffices better than anything else.
