1) Narnia
2) Signum Regis
3) Theocracy
4) Applehead
5) Wytch Hazel or ToA

Top 5 Christian Metal Albums For 2023:
- Deny The Fallen - Echo Chamber E.P.
- Theocracy - Mosaic
- Soledriver - Return Me To Light
- Halo Theory - The Awakening E.P.
- Kalamity Kills - S/T
I am putting Soledriver on both lists (Christian and non) since I have not seen the lyrics yet, but they are by Michael Sweet even though the album may be intended for a broader market.

This how they describe themselves:Black Rider wrote:What does Halo Theory sound like?
"Drawing inspiration from influential bands such as Killswitch Engage, Bullet For My Valentine, Parkway Drive and Machine Head, Halo Theory masterfully blends elements of metalcore, thrash and melodic metal into a captivating sonic experience that resonates with fans of all backgrounds."
Usually not my cup of tea, but I like their sound when I'm in the mood for such....

I haven't heard everything that came out this year, but these are the only 2 that got repeat listens from me of the Christian stuff I heard:
Randy Rose - The Masquerade
Adorned Graves - The Earth Hath Opened Her Mouth
Wytch Hazel is a good band, but I don't find myself listening to their albums more than once.
Probably the least interesting year for Christian releases ever, to my ears.

I have Flames of Fire on order. I'm realy liking Applehead so I need to order that one Light Side of the Apple. It's a mix of groovey hard rock with some speed and progressive metal moments. Don't like the first Applehead album though. I'm a new Greg Minier fan where I really like the Retooled album.
Does anyone know when The Waymaker Keys to Eternity will be released or if it's out yet?
