Which Christian Metal / Hard Rock Album Released in 1994 Is Your Favorite?

Included in the list are Christian and Christian-Friendly albums, all released in 1994.

Included are hard rock, metal, industrial, and hardcore punk albums (basically all hard music).  
I'm sure I missed a few so feel free to mention others.

Couldn’t get the multiple choice to work. So, while it was a difficult call, I went with Idle Cure.

Darn, I did not enable the multiple choice.  My error, I will rephrase the rules.

Will have to try something like again earlier in the evening when I'm not so sleepy....

No problem, it makes it more interesting when you’re forced to choose.

Paramaecium - Exhumed Of The Earth

Crimson Thorn - Unearthed

Living Sacrifice - Inhabit

Mortification - Bloodworld

All albums I could pick from that list

How ever there is one not on that list

King's X - DOGMAN

LOL, it sure made it harder for me!    I voted for The Brave.

I just wasn't paying enough attention, my bad.  I thought this was a great concept but my original intention was to make it multiple choice.

It was between Morty, Paramecium, and Tourniquet... I went with TQT bc they're my fav band on here, but I probably should have picked Exhumed. It's my favorite Paramecium album.

^yeah it probably should be...I gave you a dislike, enjoy it.

Crimson Thorn - Unearthed. No doubts, second guesses, if, ands, buts, etc.

Yeah Unearthed is a great relaxing death metal album. I like the sludgy loose, ham off the bone, primitive vibe it has. Unfortunately I never liked anything from them after that.

A modest vintage, with the notable exception of Six Feet Deep's masterpiece, Struggle. Still in heavy rotation on my playlist.

Very good album, I was just listening to it last week.  Love those crunchy guitar and bass tones.

As I was compiling this list, I was surprised at how many good albums were released in 1994.
We complained a lot about the 90's while it was happening, but in hindsight I would say it wasn't as bad as we thought.

^we did... I loved everything about the 90's, the Christian music and the secular music, both rock, grunge and metal!

The 80's and 90's were easily the peak of music

I vote for the 70's as the best decade for music, but the 80's are not too far behind.

The 70's didn't have enough metal for me, but the music was really good (and obviously it did at least have Sabbath)

I'm surprised though, as your favorite band's best material was released in the 80's...

That hit me too while looking at the list.

I'd trade all the metal in the world for really good song-writing in all genres, which the 70's had in spades....

As far as my "favorite band," oy vey!     Even they took a lot of influences from earlier bands, so at least they had good taste in the beginning  

Apologies to Tourniquet but I love that 77s album.
I can't say for sure but it seems after 94 things were sparse for good music.

Bride, Mortification, Saviour Machine and Veni Domine top this list for me, tough call, but gotta go with Mort!

CoD is in the mix for me as well.

I will say that River Disturbance's title track is my favorite song released that year, but the album isn't consistent anough for me to choose it.

I still love Struggle by Six Feet Deep.

Hey, once again we completely agree. That song is awesome and so are a few others, but if it had been more consistent I might have chosen it as #1.

Also, Camelot is my least fav from them (it's still good though) and Learn is one of my favorites. I remember those were the two you mentioned in the D fav and least fav albums.

RD is one of D's best solos IMO... it's not as techincally impressive as some of their others, but it is beautiful.
