Not me.

Yep. Especially Becoming the Archetype (first 4 albums), all of Death Therapy, and a lot of Project 86 (specifically their last double album Omni was getting very heavy for them).

Destroy the Runner, specifically like their album Saints.

There was a band called EastWest that had an album Hope in Anguish. Not sure I’d call it metal, and they were not accomplished high production, but it was still pretty good.

In spite of my issues with religion and my childhood, I still listen to most of those bands many many years later cause the music is just excellent, especially the first 3 I mentioned.

Demon Hunters still going and still good.

Zao was kinda Christian at some point I think? I like them

I don’t particularly care if a band is Christian if the music is good. Firstly, a sizable chunk of the lyrics of bands I listen to are fictional or based on fiction; why be upset about one mythology and not any others? Secondly, I enjoy a lot of baroque music; good luck getting away from Christianity centered music there.

Fathomage makes pretty good stuff.
