(TFU would bristle at being called a "christian band, but most of these bands would be really)

The new RED album came out today. Gonna go pick it up at lunch. I had no idea they were even a "christian band", they just ruled. I love the sound/production and just the overall package with them.
Jasen Rauch now just writes at home w/ them and doesn't tour, and he collab'd a lot with Ben Burnley on "Dear Agony" and you can definitely hear the influence he had on that record w/ all the orchestration and stuff.

I remember when Trouble and Danzig did a "Heaven and Hell" tour together!

theres alot of great bands that you guys havent mentioned like

war of ages
becoming the archetype
soul embraced
the showdown- their first album was awesome
the crucified
stavesacre
unashamed
focal point
few left standing
comeback kid
haste the day
focused
mxpx
onward to olypas
project 86
immortal souls

maylene and the sons of disaster

august burns red

theres alot more to christian bands the usual p.o.d., pillar, stryper stuff.
not every band thats christians is a ministry band, some are but alot arent, most consider themselves christains in a band or some bands might have 3 guys in the band that have christian or faith beliefs and a few guys that dont. some bands are very open and vocal and some arent and they just let the music do the talking but dont like to be labeled a christian band because not every song is about their faith and they dont always get preachy on stage. check out the bands i mentioned and maybe some of you will like them, good music is good music and even if you dont believe in their faith you might enjoy the music.

Broadcasting is still one of my favorite hardcore albums.

well.... this thread has taken an interesting turn since Ive been gone for a few days.

What I meant by "christian" was having song lyrics somehow connect to christianity. Some of the stuff posted here is pretty good, I'm impressed, others, lolwat....

Ok, well I can contribute a few more to help things along:
