Dreamer- full metal racket
Creed - sign of victory
Traxter - Rock n race
Stryken- First strike
Seventh seal- Messengers of love
Regime - Straight through your heart
Goliath - The gate
Scarlet red - Don't dance with danger

Great list! If I had to choose one or two, I´d take Emerald and Valor.
Bloody Cross had a much better demo and Creed had a much better EP for my taste.

I don't know how I forgot Rage of Angels 

Northern Flame
Treasure Seeker (does not really count, more of a project doing cover songs)
Sarepta
Rage of Angels

Another good one not mentioned yet:
Revelation Project

I am surprised no one mentioned this one so far:

Recon - Behind Enemy Lines

But I would add an honorable mention to:

Valor - Fight for your Life

Thank you for this post, i never heard of this band before
Something to promote.

You're welcome!  I never understood why they weren't bigger and did more.  It's one of the most interesting death/doom albums out there.   So well-produced and so well-written, with some of the most unique, emotional death vocals around at the time.  "Warcry" is one of my all-time favorite tracks:

I never understood why they weren't bigger and did more. 

Probably a combination of timing and promotion.  The Rowe label didn't produce many hits, at least in part due to a lack of promotion outside us few hardcore metalheads.  Also, the 1990's weren't kind to metal in general.

There have been many "one and done's," but these in particular are favorites (no particular order):

Recon - Behind Enemy Lines
Schaliach - Sonrise
Tempest - Annihilation of the Wicked (1986 Demo)
Gloriam Dei - The Covenant
Thunderchild - The King
Zion - Thunder from the Mountain 
Excurses - Devil's Footprints E.P.
Chained - Grateful Sinner
Northern Flame - Glimpse of Hope
Emerald - Armed for Battle
Valor - Fight for your life
Rage Of Angels - S/T
They Wither - E.P.
XIII Minutes - Obsessed
Angelic Forces - E.P.
Deth Enemy - Unmovable
Mercy Rule - Overruled
Fires Of Babylon - S/T
Sarepta - Smokin' Vineyard
Faith Factor - Against A Darkened Sky
Sacredfice - S/T
Fire Throne - Day of Darkness & Blackness
Melech - Melech Ha Olam
Broken Silence - Discerning The Times 


...A few are apparently working on a new album.
...And I'm sure there are others I am forgetting

Arvinger has a prior full-length “Helgards Fall.”  It has weak production and might be tough to find, but is pretty good.

Oops!   Thanks for reminding me, I forgot about that early work.  
I will remove Arvinger from my list

Martyrs Shrine 

(ex-Mortification members)

I like that one, but the lack of guitar solos and the long songs keep it off my "favorites" list.
It has a nice sound though.

Yeah the production is a bit lacking but I quite like it nonetheless. I think it's up on Nordic Mission's Bandcamp now (which I'm very glad they made).

Ha ha, not trying to police your list!  Just thought if you didn't know about it you might like it!

 I agree. The songs are too long and lack solos. But I still like it!

This is probably my favorite (one album) Christian band.

Great album! Picked up the vinyl a few months back.

I remember when it first came out, how the CD player ticked up to Track 69 and played.  That was slick!
