I've been listening to a compilation album called Metal For Jesus for a few times recently and for now I must say I like it. It's diverse and it includes groups like Narnia, Golden Resurrection and Audiovision. I think Christian Liljegren is doing vocals in every band. Christian maybe most known for being in Narnia. A group I've seen once live and they delivered on that occasion. Check out MFJ on Spotify and tell me what you think. I know the lyrics might be a turn-off for some, but just try to listen to the music!  Furthermore this thread could also be of other christian metal acts. Do you listen to some other christian bands?  |

You're right, Christian Liljegren sings on all these bands. Talking about these Christian metal or gospel hard rock bands I for example like the latest one from Stryper. Golden Resurrection made a good album too, last year. There are some good bands in that kind of genre. When I was at elementary school in upper classes our music teacher was a fan of band called Jerusalem. We even watched their live video during music hours. I myself like also into some extent a band called Petra. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petra_%28band%29And my fave track from Golden Resurrection is this Btw, this song has been played in one of my metal evenings...  |

I might be wrong but I have a feeling that CJ Grimmark (guitarist in Narnia) have played with Jerusalem live recently (I think I saw a picture somewhere on the internet but I could be way out of line on this one). I don't think I've ever heard the band but it's quite old act isn't it?
I'll check out Petra later!

Yes I like the latest Stryper too. Very enjoyable listening. Although I've never been into the band before and don't know their back catalogue really. I like their sound on the latest album, sounds "fresh".  |

I am not familiar with their back catalogue either, but I do have To Hell With The Devil album from their early years. There are some good songs on that album, too.  |

stryper's back catalog is pretty impressive. i especially like the first album and the second one called Soldiers Under Command has some really great guitar playing on it, the songs kick ass, and are still good even to this day.
