If you could suggest 3 Christian metal albums

So for the past 32 years I have been a metal/hard rock music fanatic. 99% percent of my collection is secular, but I really want to hear more hard Christian stuff. Point me in the right direction of 3 albums you deem "must have". My limited collection of Christian cds includes some stuff from Stryper, Whitecross, Impending Doom and Place of Skulls. I also have Antestor in my sights as my next purchase. Any and all sub-genres are cool with me.

Affector - Harmagedon
Rob Rock - Garden of Chaos
Theocracy - Mirror of Souls (actually all of their albums, but that one's my favourite)

I depends on the style and time you prefer.

if you like late 80ies / early 90ies Metal I prefer:

NWoBH Metal:

Bloodgood - Detonation or self titled debut
Saint- Time´s end or Bride Live to die
Barren Cross - State of control or Rock for the king


Thrash:
(only 3 is very very hard choice for me)

Vengeance rising - Human Sacrifice
Tourniquet - Stop the bleeding
Deliverance - Weapons of our warfare

Gothic Metal

Saviour Machine - Saviour Machine
Saviour Machine - Live in Deutschland II
Paramaecium - Exhumed from the earth

Death Metal:

Mortification self titled
Mortification Scrolls of the megilloth
Mortification - Post Momentary Affliction

Awesome, keep em coming. Any time, any style as long as it falls into hard rock or heavy metal. I have recently gave Paramaecium, Mortification and Vengeance Rising some play time lately and was digging them.

Can't keep myself from sharing these personal favourites with you:

Audiovision - Focus
Gloriam Dei - The Covenant
InnerSiege - Kingdom of Shadows
Leah - Kings & Queens
Narnia - Enter the Gate
Stryper - No More Hell to Pay

Some personal favorites:

Daniel Band - Run From The Darkness
Stryper - Soldiers Under Command
X-Sinner - Get It
Rob Rock - Holy Hell

Rage of Angels - Rage of Angels

Crimson Moonlight -- Veil of Remembrance
Becoming the Archetype -- Dichotomy
Hope for the Dying -- Dissimulation

I don't know if they're my 3 favorites exactly, but off the top of my mind I think they're all incredible but in different ways.

Personal faves of 3 different styles:
Believer-Dimensions
Crimson Moonlight-Veil of Remembrance
Vomitorial Corpulence-Skin Stripper

Red Sea - Blood
Rose - Healing
Mad At The World - Through The Forest

Thank you all. So far got lots of good stuff to check out. I forgot I was getting into some Seventh Angel not long ago.

Then
Deliverance - Learn

These are a few metal gems that kind of fly under the radar. Excellent bands nonetheless.
