Christian Bands That Sound Like Soundgarden?

Does anyone know any Christian bands that sound like Soundgarden? (P.S. Don't mention Grammatrain, already know them, don't sound like SG) The closest I could find is Forevertree.

Wish for Eden?

I listened. They have some similarities. They are decently close but seem to be slightly more metal in the riffs. At least from what I'm listening to right now.

I don’t think there are any bands that sound like prime Soundgarden. 

Chris Cornell had a unique voice. Especially on the early albums. 

Maybe Audioslave… they were corporate and boring radio rock.

A. I know Audioslave and their first album is great, B. They aren't Christian, C. Chris sings for AS(You probably knew that though)
I'm not looking for a band that sounds exactly the same. Most Christian grunge bands are more like Nirvana than SG.

Why not just listen to Soundgarden if that’s what you like?

I know Audioslave wasn’t Christian. Duh

I mentioned them because it’s more likely that a modern Christian band is influenced by them (and Cornell was the singer). Unfortunately he didn’t use his voice like he did in SG. 

And no, I don’t think any Audioslave album is great… but good for anyone that does.

The closest I know if is King James - The Fall (but not their other albums).

I love the Superunknown album. I just like to have a Christian band that sounds similar for when I need Christian music but want a specific sound.

Start a Christian band that sounds like SG. 

Although it will be tough to find someone that sings like Chris Cornell…

Maybe Dale Thompson. 

He could do the BadMotorFinger high pitched singing. 

Nobody will sound like Soundgarden.  But there are other Christian grunge bands and albums you might like:

Sometime Sunday (2 albums, Stone and Drain)
Yonderboy--Mission of Mercy
Nailed--All Washed Up
Blackball--Super Heavy Dreamscape
The Prayer Chain--Shawl

and my personal fave Christian grunge albums, Sheesh by Sheesh:




and Torn by Tree:

Johnny Q. Public might come close at times.

Another band I thought of is Moral Issue.  Hardly known, and nothing like Soundgarden, but good grunge.  Both their albums Sick and Milk are on Spotify and Youtube.

I don't think there is any Christian band that sounds like Soundgarden.

One or two of the heavier tracks from GS Megaphone (at least with regard to vocal delivery)... but I was so disappointed with the rest of their music I didn't even keep the one album I had.  Forevertree/Z has that grunge style (with some more modern elements thrown in), but not at all a real "sound alike" band.
