What are some good nu-metal Christian bands?

I'm a big fan of Korn, Tool, Deftones, early Slipknot - the usual suspects of nu-metal, but don't many Christian nu-metal bands. Outside of Love & Death and Red (who are far more on the pop side of things than metal to me), what else is there out there?

I thought "good nu-metal" was an oxymoron.

Have you tried Demon Hunter?

Well, it's certainly a rarity.

Earlier Project 86 fits in the category of NuMetal

Nu-Metal:

These 5 Down
East West
Travail
Gryp
Junker Jorg


Not Nu-Metal, but might appeal to your tastes:

Circle of Dust
Jonathan Simpson
Disciple
Klank
Rackets & Drapes
White Collar Sideshow

Would Skillet count?

Some may not consider these Nu Metal, but when I think of more mainstream styles of hard rock/ metal these are the one that I think of as "good." 

Stavesacre
Project 86
Staple
Blindside

Some Pillar could be kind of close

Forgot about Pillar, yep, that would work.

Also I should mention 12 Stones

Also, recent Living Sacrifice though they aren't usually referred to as nu-metal.

And someone recently started a thread on Flawed by Design who from what I know are probably about as close as you'll get to what you're looking for, outside of Love and Death. https://thecmr.forumotion.com/t7006-flawed-by-design

You won't find anything Christian that's close in sound or quality to the bands you like, but:

P.O.D.
Thousand Foot Krutch (earlier stuff less poppy)

and of course, Brian 'Head' Welch from Korn.

Nonpoint also started out Christian on their first album (I think) but aren't after that.  And they're maybe more groove metal.

You should also try Embodyment's Narrow Scope of Things album which has nu-metal elements but is so much more -- and a phenomenal album all around.

Jacks of all trades

Would Gears of Redemption fall in that category?

I would like to hear more of that.

Oh also Filacteria is also nu-metal, their album is available for free download on their website.

Me too. I have their first album, and they started working o na second and broke up.

Actually, some of this new Project 86 still has the vibe too.

Man most of this stuff isn't nu-metal at all...
Yeah early P.O.D. for sure. I love the Fundamental Elements of Southtown. They're newer stuff sucks. They've gone way too mainstream (as has Korn). Project 86's first album maybe...it's kind of more rapcore.
East West would be another. There are some other more underground bands that were good, but I'll need to try to remember them. I haven't listened to a lot of Christian bands lately tbh...

Bride's - Fistful Of Bees




I'll go hide while you all throw rocks at me! 

Here's the best song from JOAT imo:

P.O.D is the big one, I love them. Demon Hunter's first album is pretty Slipknoty imo.

Disciple MDCWYD, TMSAL, and BG border on nu and groove (and are great)

Also, how can I forget Thousand Foot Krutch

"Good Nu-Metal"

Oxymoron
