Black Sabbath?  That's a stretch.  They may have one or two songs that qualify ("After Forever") but in the grand scheme of their discography that's negligible.  The only one who MAY be a Christian is Geezer but I even think that is dubious.

They must be Christian, they have the word "Sabbath" in their name lol!

Mine in no particular order:
Stryper has to be there.
Theocracy - have they ever made a bad song?
Tourniquet - they set the standard in a lot of ways.
Rez Band - metal or not?  I count them.
Deliverance - The first two albums alone make them worthy of inclusion.
Believer - first 3 albums anyway.  The comeback stuff lacks the "Christian" element in their lyrics.
Saviour Machine.
Living Sacrifice - all eras are solid.
P.O.D. - Up there with Stryper as a successful crossover band.
Disciple.

Sacred Warrior, Tourniquet, Deliverance, Vengeance Rising , Believer, Seventh Angel, Theocracy, Rob Rock, Living Sacrifice, and The Crucified ...with apologies to Savior Machine, Stryper, and a few others....

Stryper...you were my favourite in 1985 til i got more into the heavy stuff in 1988 - Vengeance, etc.....
Sacred Warrior is the most underated band in christian metal history in my opinion - yes, they had a similar sound to Queensryche (and Maiden at times) but they were better in every way.

LOL @ "For a taste of this Anti-Christian music Martinez created with an entirely different line up than the original Vengeance Rising, be sure to check out the 2000 album, Realms of Blasphemy."

Otherwise, I thought it read like a pretty solid list of "important" bands, although I found Living Sacrifice's absence curious.

Extol
Tourniquet
August Burns Red
Living Sacrifice
Theocracy
Antestor
A Hill to Die Upon
The Burial
Norma Jean
Becoming the Archetype

Stryper   (been a fan since '84. 1st place and well above the rest of the pack)
Bloodgood  
Liberty 'n Justice   (the all-star albums are incredible)
Resurrection Band  (but only songs with Glenn on lead vocals)
Petra   (Greg X Volz era)   
Barren Cross  
Whitecross  
X-Sinner
Rob Rock / Impellitteri
Saint  (Josh Kramer era only)


I know a couple of them aren't "metal"...but oh well

Since this was a "metal list", I left out bands like Rez and Petra, and certainly would not have included P.O.D...

(Yea, I realize Saviour Machine is only considered metal by some...)

That Vengeance Rising album was NEVER actually pressed as far as I can tell.

Now as far as Black Sabbath is concerned they have WAY more Satanic Songs than they do Christian songs.  They are in no way Christian and if you read their interviews over the years you can see that they are quite the opposite and are in many ways very occultic.  Now I was  HUGE Sabbath fan and had NEARLY every Sabbath and Ozzy cd but Gave them up over the past year due to their overtly Satanic overture for the majority of their stuff.  So putting them in a Top 10 Christian list is rather laughable.  A top 10 METAL band YES but not a Christian list now way.

It is really hard to pick only ten without leaving a really good band behind. But let's go:

Deliverance
Saint
Bloodgood
Sacred Warrior
Petra
Resurrection Band
Impellitteri
Stryper
Tourniquet
Mortification

They are not in order. But it s a wide ranging list that could please any christian metal fan.

That's what I found so funny in an otherwise seemingly pretty well-informed article. Razz
