What are your top 5 Christian metal albums from different bands?

If you had to pick a favorite 5 albums without naming more than one from the same band, what would they be?
Mine are:
1. Theocracy - Mirror of Souls
2. Epta Astera - Feste Burg
3. Adorned Graves - The Earth hath Opened her Mouth
4. Biogenesis - A Decadence Divine
5. Ecthirion - Psalms of the Risen Dead

I will NOT overthink this.

Tourniquet: Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance
Theocracy: Ghost Ship
Saint: Time’s End
Bloodgood: Rock in a Hard Place
Deliverance: Weapons of Our Warfare

Impossible!! But here's a try:

Tourniquet - Stop the Bleeding
Bride - Silence is Madness
Mortification - Scrolls of the Megilloth
Deliverance - Weapons of Our Warfare
Rob Rock - Holy Hell

Antestor - The Return of the Black Death
Crimson Moonlight - Veil of Remembrance
Deliverance - Weapons of Our Warfare
Sanctifica - Spirit of Purity
Tourniquet - Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance

My answers could be different on any given day, lol.

Tourniquet - POD
Deliverance - Stay of Execution
Mortification - Scrolls
Barren Cross- State of Control
BTA- Terminate Damnation

definitely impossible

without really thinking, in alphabetical order (except Vengeance)...

Vengeance - Human Sacrifice
Becoming The Archetype - Celestial Completion
Believer - Extraction From Mortality
The Crucified - The Crucified
Tourniquet - Stop The Bleeding

1. Bloodgood - Bloodgood
 2. Betrayal - The Passing

 4. Saviour Machine - Saviour Machine I
 5. Seventh Angel - Lament for the weary
or  Vengeance Rising - Once Dead

Sacred Warrior - Rebellion
Chaotic Resemblance - Nazarites

Tourniquet - Stop The Bleeding

DANIEL BAND - RUN FROM THE DARKNESS
BARREN CROSS - STATE OF CONTROL
BLOODGOOD - OUT OF THE DARKNESS
DELIVERANCE DEBUT
JERUSALEM WARRIOR
MASTEDON - IT'S A JUNGLE OUT THERE
PETRA - ON FIRE
SAINT - TIME'S END
WHITECROSS DEBUT
ZION - THUNDER FROM THE MOUNTAIN
LES CARLSON - HE'S COMING
DARRELL MANSFIELD - REVELATION
MESSIAH PROPHET - MASTER OF THE METAL
LEVITICUS - KNIGHTS OF HEAVEN

This list will have to do for now...

1. Tourniquet - Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance
2. Seventh Angel - Lament For The Weary
3. Deliverance - Stay Of Execution
4. Bride - Silence Is Madness
5. Saint - Too Late For Living

There are sooooo many others. Really difficult to settle on just 5.

1. Tourniquet - Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance
2. Vengeance Rising - Once Dead
3. Theocracy - As The World Bleeds
4. Living Sacrifice - Nonexistent
5. Holy Soldier - Last Train

It's really too bad that I can't get Stryper, Tamplin or Neal Morse on this list. But I don't think they have complete albums that make it on this list, even though, if I was making a top 5 band list, they would beat out some of these bands.

I felt the same about Tourniquet, Neal Morse (although I don’t consider him metal), and Golden Resurrection. Some of my favorite songs ever are by those bands, but it if comes to full albums where I love pretty much every song the ones I listed have to come out on top

I also would have included Moveable Walls by Jupiter IV (Jimmy P Brown side project) over the Ecthirion and Biogenesis albums except it’s more prog rock than metal, and not explicitly Christian

I don't consider Morse Christian either.

Yeah he seems to have some sketchy views on the nature of Christ. He does seem to genuinely want to follow Christ and trust Him as savior though, although he is ignorant on who Christ truly is

I keep saying that but I don’t seem to be convincing many others.

He's not ignorant, he outright rejects Christ being eternal which is the heresy of Arianism. Mormons will say the same thing about Jesus.

Tough just five, but here it is:

1. Theocracy - As the World Bleeds
2. Saviour Machine - Saviour Machine I
3. Extol - Undeceived
4. Believer - Sanity Obscure
5. Tourniquet - Psychosurgery

A LOT of great albums listed so far.

That is true, although from what I’ve seen his rejection of Christ being eternal is based on ignorance. He seemed to genuinely think that’s what the Bible taught, which I might expect more from a baby Christian who has only read a few passages about Jesus out of context, but not from someone who has been a Christian for years. We should pray for him to see the truth about Christ and the Trinity

just for clarification, you mean that to say "not created", yes?
