Rage Against the Machine Christian Alternatives? Empty Rage Against the Machine Christian Alternatives?

Post by Maxtron01 Thu Oct 15, 2020 3:00 am

I've known about RATM for over a decade and I love their style of music. I dig the Tom Morello's guitar playing and the rapping to go with it. However, I'm not very fond of their lyrics. If I could please get suggestions on what Christian bands (and/or any Rap Metal band that's positive) sound pretty similar, that would be awesome. God bless!

They 
You can try the early stuff from EDL (Every Day Life) and P.O.D.

There really isn’t anything that sounds exactly like RATM... but those bands are the closest.

If you like Ice T’s Body Count, check out “Sodom and America” by XL and DBD. It’s great rap/metal!

Nobody is going to touch Tom Morello's guitar playing, but Spoken's first albums On Your Feet and What Remains are the closest vocally.  Their later albums are good, but not similar vocally.

Sonny's rapping on this is possibly the best I've heard in a rock song:

If you're not already familiar with Project 86, you might want to check out their first self-titled album from 1998.  There are some slight similarities with RATM but Project 86 treads darker waters musically, at least on this album, which remains my favorite.  Andrew Schwab's lyrics are typically very deep meditations on the struggles of faith and flesh and remind me somewhat of Mark Salomon of The Crucified / Stavesacre.

I was going to mention EDL and XL, but others beat me to the punch. But this band has a closer sound to RATM both musically and vocally in my opinion. New band from San Antonio TX, look no further:

This sounds like Korn to me.

That Saving Jackie stuff sounds VERY close though.  Great finds in this thread!  Thanks for everyone's input.

Lots of great choices!   Saving Jackie seems the closest to RATM. 
Never used to like this genre/style until about 2 years ago, I am totally into it now.
