Top 10 Christian Screamo/Rock Bands

The Top Ten
1 The Devil Wears Prada The Devil Wears Prada is an American metalcore band from Dayton, Ohio, formed in 2005. It consists of members Mike Hranica, Jeremy DePoyster, Andy Trick, and Daniel Williams.

The Devil Wears Prada is the best for sure. All of their band members are extremely talented, and perform great music together. Their drummer uses the double bass to keep in beat with the rhythm guitar, which has a great effect. Plus, the clean vocalasit makes great choruses aside from the screaming. The Devil Wears Prada belongs at the top without a doubt, forget Skillet.

I believe that The Devil Wears Prada is the best Christian rock/screamo band for sure. They are all very talented musicians and they use their talent to share their faith and put a positive message out there through music that a lot of people listen to. Melting faces for Jesus!

I've listened to every single band on here, and The Devil Wears Prada are by far the best. They've had the biggest impact on my life out of all these bands. And all religion aside, they've produced 2 of my top 10 favorite albums of all time. Great music, great message.

The Devil Wears Prada is the best Christian screamo band, infact I would put them in the running for the best band period. The songs have so much meaning behind them. Their sound is extremely unique and gets you pumped for God and after all let God be the glory.

2 Skillet Skillet is an American Christian rock band formed in Memphis, Tennessee in 1996 and based in the United States.

Usually when I hear Christian music it's in a choir so that's why I didn't know this band was Christian band until a few weeks ago. One of the reasons I figured this out was because I actually started to think about the lyrics in their songs. This band is one of my favorite bands of all time and Hero is my favorite song from them. 10/10

One Word, AWESOME! This band makes songs with so good music, guitar riffs are also so cool, I think it truly deserves this spot.
I used to be a metalcore fan but accidentally while searching for more bands, I met up with this band And MAN, That was the best day of my life, A band just so Perfect!

Skillet is an awesome sounding band. I just love the sound they have. I do think that they need some more screamo in their songs though. I think other than that they sound awesome though. I also like that they have a woman singer in the band too. They are defiantly one of my favorite bands.

Most popular christian rock band ever right here skiller I mean they rock so much and they are still christian, I can say they need to make a new album, their latest album Awake released in 2009 was so cool, my favortie album is Comatose.

3 Red Red is an American Christian alternative metal/alternative rock band from Nashville, Tennessee. The band was formed in 2002 by brothers Anthony Armstrong (guitarist) and Randy Armstrong (bassist), along with lead vocalist Michael Barnes.

Best hard rock band out there. I know they have their slow songs like Hold me now, as you go, hymn for the missing and so on. But they also have some Extreme rock songs like feed the machine, release the panic, death of me, Let go and much more! They totally should be at the top!

Red is one of the best bands I have heard. Their lyrics are very deep and meaningful. Don't agree? Check out fight inside, it was at number one on the charts. They have a great sound, they're all very talented people. I will always be a red fan!

These guys are really awesome. My favorite album of theirs is probably until we have faces. I like their songs feed the machine and hymn for the missing (the first and last song on the album).

Why isn't disciple on this list?

4 As I Lay Dying As I Lay Dying is an American metalcore band from San Diego, California. Founded in 2000 by vocalist Tim Lambesis, the establishment of the band's first full lineup, which included drummer Jordan Mancino, occurred in 2001. As I Lay Dying has released six albums, one split album, and two compilation ...read more.

'Christian'. Their vocalist went to jail for attempting to hire a hitman to murder his wife. What a very Christian thing to do (then again, there is that thing called the crusades). by the way if anyone didn't know, the band got a new vocalist and changed their name to Wovenwar. I highly recommend it. It's not quite as heavy as As I Lay Dying but it's still pretty good!

As I lay dying has such amazing sound and you can always depend on them for making great music

5 August Burns Red August Burns Red is an American metalcore band from Manheim, Pennsylvania. Formed in 2003, the group began their first performances while a majority of the members were attending their senior year of high school, and soon began playing shows around Lancaster, before being signed to CI Records. Afterwards, ...read more.

Amazing band...
Plenty of interesting guitar riffs in the intros and heavy, meaningful lyrics. For starters, you might want to start with Meridian-an almost fully instrumental song but the four or five lines are scream. Then head on to the real stuff:MARIANA's TRENCH. And I'm not saying I love it just cause it stole my name
Take time to actually read the lyrics, powerful stuff but it has such a CLEAN feeling. The scream is clean and powerful, moving and just flat out awesome.
GO FORTH, novice ABR lovers...

They inspire the struggles and lives of Christians. They seed great courage and power to all of us. The lyrics also give peace to non-Christians too. This band is one of the most unique Christian bands out there. There are many Christian bands for Christians. But this band is a band for both worldly people and christian people

Hands down the best music and message I have heard in a while. They have their own sound and it makes you appreciate them more when you hear each little part of the song, kind of like norma jean, certain parts you hear and that is what makes them norma jean and brings a smile to your face.

No way this band should be on the top a lot more people listen to their music... So for me by far the best composure, leveler, back burner, boys of a fall all of these songs inspire and help a lot of people... One of the only bands where you meet the members

6 Underoath Underoath is an American rock band from Tampa, Florida. Founded by Dallas Taylor and Luke Morton on November 30, 1997, in Ocala, Florida; subsequently its additional members were from Tampa.

Underoath is a band that has so much meaning to each and every song. It was the first screamo band I ever listened to. You can feel the power in each in every lyric spoken. The feature that makes this band so unique is that they strive to change lives through their music; whether it be through rekindling a faith for God, or acknowledging the corruption of the world which can leave us oblivious and enslaved. This band has changed my life.

This band helped make me the vocalist I am today and I know that after my first love committed suicide I wouldn't be alive today if it had not been for "Casting Such a Thin Shadow" and "To Whom it May Concern". Hands down though, "Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Other's Escape" gave me a new hope for my faith. One of the leading bands in Christian metal/screamo/experimental music. This band should be in the top 10 for sure.

Under oath is real an amazing band. They get me through a lot and they truly are AMAZING. While I wouldn't call them totally scream,. I mean most of their songs do scream, but lots of words are sung instead of screamed.

If underoath isn't the best band on this list it's a close second. Even though they don't have the same members as they used to I still think they rock. Underoath is without a doubt a band worth checking out.

7 Flyleaf Flyleaf is an American rock band formed in Bell County, Texas, in 2002. The band has charted on mainstream rock, Christian pop and Christian metal genres.

Lacey is no longer in flyleaf but when she was this was my favorite band. I didn't like screaming music until I heard Lacey's testimony and then heard her scream. She's still my favorite singer and her screams are the BEST!

Lacey Screaming is the best thing your ears could hear... Can't wait to see if they release new music soon! FLYLEAF FOR LIFE

Flyleaf seems to be one of the only bands here that sings about things OTHER than Jesus or God.

Flyleaf changed my life I was about ready to give up but they helped me through it I LOVE THEM! Thanks flyleaf

8 Third Day

These guys are awesome. I have seen them in concert and they are great live. I really like their songs otherside and lift up your face. They are upbeat songs, although I wouldn't consider them metal and screamo. By the way why isn't disciple on this list?

I do love Third Day, but they are definitely not screamo! They are kinda heavy country style in my opinion :-) still a great band though and I've loved their albums for years and years!

I love This band so much Try the song Children of god And you will really like them.

Third Day is amazing, but not screamo or anywhere close to it?

9 Disciple

Sadly, lots of Christian rock bands tend to jump to the mainstream scene and go secular. But Disciple is an exception, as they have been 20 YEARS rocking for Jesus - and saving souls for Him!. Kevin Young's testimony is just amazing and I love the fact that every line in their lyrics has a Bible verse explaining it. Totally recommendable as they don't only sound good but they MINISTRATE Jesus through their music. This is not normal to see in a rock band. They should be higher on this list.

Not only do these guys totally rock, they are genuine. Listening to The Scars Remain album pulled me back from the edge of oblivion. They are all about getting the message out that God loves broken people. They are probable the most real and unselfish band in Christian Rock today. Saw them Last night in New Castle PA as they invested their whole beings for Gods Glory and to advance His Kingdom in the hearts of young people!

These guys are insane. They are really connected with their fan base and have an amazing ministry and love for God. The are one of the few bands out there who have the rare combination of both AMAZING music and an incredible message. I STRONGLY recommend Disciple!

I love this band! I have no idea why it's so low on this list! Try listening to the songs, "ear X, You Don't Own Me", "After the World", "Remedy", "eafening", "Revolution: Now", "Eternity", "Whatever Reason", "Into Black", "Phoenix Rising", "Savior", and "Falling Over".
"ear X, You Don't Own Me" Is by far my favorite song though.

10 Blessthefall Blessthefall is an American metalcore band formed in Phoenix, Arizona in 2004. The band's music combines elements of post-hardcore and screamo, featuring a mix of clean and screamed vocals. They have been lauded for their emotionally charged lyrics and intricate instrumentals, gaining them a dedicated following. Blessthefall has released multiple albums and toured extensively, cementing their place in the metalcore scene.

Blessthefall is in my opinion the best screamo band. First of all, they're actually screamo. Some of these bands, like Skillet, are loud sometimes... but aren't really screaming. Second of all, Blessthefall's lyrics are so powerful and inspiring, especially Rise Up from the album His Last Walk. These reasons are why Blessthefall should be ate the top of the list.

Bless the fall is the best hardcore christian band in my opinion. They're sound is amazing. They're lyrics aren't all that great but they are so unique in the fact that not one of their songs sound the same, well with Beau some of their music does with Craig every sound had its own unique touch to it.

They are very cool the best song is Undefeated its very good song. They also have a good song called meet me at the gates, but Blessthefall is the best band I've ever listened to.

I love this band! It searched it and it was absolutely amazing! Another two great screamo Christian bands are Exiting The Fall and A Beautiful Oblivion!

The Contenders
11 We Came As Romans We Came as Romans (abbreviated as WCAR) is an American metalcore band from Troy, Michigan, formed in 2005. The band has gone through one name change and multiple lineup changes, and signed to Albany, New York label Equal Vision Records in 2009. We Came as Romans is managed by Outerloop Management and ...read more.

These guys are AMAZING! The Devil Wears Prada, Blessthefall, and We Came As Romans are my top Christian Screamo bands. We Came As Romans' "To Move On Is To Grow" is by far one of their godliest songs and my absolute favorite and I hope it will be yours too. WCAR are great at promoting God and doing what they love. God Bless You!

Ummm these guys aren't a Christian band sadly.

Their guitarist said himself that "there are Christian dudes and non Christian dudes in the band" and "just because our lyrics are positive doesn't mean their Christian"

I really enjoy their music... They one of the best bands to listen to.

We came as romans, the devil wears prada, august burns red, underøath, oh sleeper, norma jean and the overseer are the BEST!

12 Pillar

I wonder how can people like Devil Wears Prada, that band is terrible. Skillet, 12 Stones and Pillar are the best hands down.

Pillar are simply the best.. Last Goodbye and Holding On are my fauvorite songs by them.

Flyleaf sucks.. Red is boring.. Skillet is always the same thing over and over..
Pillar rulez

Ok, the album "The Reckoning" is just genial. My favourite song is When tomorow comes. Meaningful lyrics also! The Devil Wears Prada and August Burns Red is awesome bands too, ABRs album leveler from this year is greeat.
Bless :-)

13 For Today For Today is an American Christian metalcore band from Sioux City, Iowa, formed in 2005. They are currently signed to Nuclear Blast Records.

Devastator on their album Breaker is an insanely good song. Also recently they came out with a new ablum called Immortal which is my favorite album of theirs. These guys make intense songs with awesome lyrics and I'd recommend them to anybody.

Amazing band. Look up psalm of son and seraphim they are really great songs but I would recommend all of their albums to you all

Man, these guys rock! I love em!

Every song is perfect

14 FamilyForce5

Family Force 5 is one of the most amazing groups ever! I remember listening to them when I was a littlun and I still listen to them! Their music is just so amazing and great!

Not exactly metal, but they scream a lot and their music is awesome, so they have my vote. I just wish they'd do harder stuff on this next album.

Family Force 5 is just so good and their songs are so catchy that people have an amazing time dancing to them.

You know a band list is bad if you don't even know what the number 1 band on the list is and you're band is mispelled.

15 Wolves at the Gate

This band should be at the number one spot! Not only are they a Christian Metalcore band, but they also evangelize most of the time during their concerts. Skillet and Red aren't even screamo bands.

Saw them and the singer that plays guitar talked to me about God for at least 20 or 30 minutes & it was amazing he took that time out for me, God bless Wolves At The Gate.

I love this band, I love there sound. They are my new favorite band, right next to demon hunter.

Best band ever... If you like The Devil Wears Prada then you will love WATG. The song oh the depths and herald... Never mind the entire CD is amazing check them out

16 I am Terrified

This is my all time favorite band ever. I Am Terrified is an amazing Christian screamo band, possibly one of the best, if not THE best. Heaven Knocking, Hell Rising is my favorite song of theirs. All of their songs have such a powerful message in them. I hear people talk down about Christian screamo all the time, saying you never know what they're really saying and it's demonic and everything. God loves it when his children sing his praises, whether it's through screamo or a simple, soft toned song!

This band is actually a local band to me, I'm so glad to see how well known they have become over the years they are extremely talented and also have an amazing message in there songs.

Now this is a REAL REAL Christian screamo band they actually have a Christian messege and praise God in their songs listen to Falling on Everlasting great song speaking of the Lord's greatness!

Through my darkest times I stumbled upon I Am Terrified and fell in love

17 Thousand Foot Krutch Thousand Foot Krutch is a Canadian Christian alternative rock band that was formed in 1995. They have released eight albums. In addition, they have released two live albums and three remix albums.

My favorite band of all time, been following them for 20 years back in San Antonio. Forever TFK!

Hands down best band

18 Demon Hunter Demon Hunter is an American Christian metal band from Seattle, Washington, started in 2000 by brothers Don Clark and Ryan Clark. Although the brothers created the band together, only Ryan remains, since Don left the band to take care of his family.

One of the most vitriolic sounds in Christian Rock. They have got to be, hands down, the coolest vocals. Anything from The World is a Thorn, Extremist, or others would shame many bands you will see above.

I'm not saying there the best, but there song Driving Nails is quite a life savor. I was in but to cut my own throat and I listened to that song and it changed the way I look at things.

Really good. I've beenn through so much stuff. Another to look up is brian welch. He is my role model. Stay christan...

By far best in any genre

19 4Him
20 Fireflight

This music is AWESOME! You can rock out to some great music and feel uplifted at the same time. It's a true gift to hear this music.

I love fireflight! She is an awesome singer.

21 Protest for Pluto

Protest For Pluto has a unique style and sound using hard hitting and power driven songs with rock roots like "Freedom, "Chosen Me", and "It Doesn't Matter", plus a dynamic and very energetic rock stage show. PFP's energy and emotion rips through their song writing showing their heart for God in songs like "Salvation's Gates", "Your Breath I'm Living On", and "Reach Out". The mission of Protest For Pluto is to spread the word of God through their music, rock out for the masses, and to be the true warriors of Rock n' Roll.

I saw them perform this weekend at a show - WOW can they ROCK a STAGE! Their lyrics are strong and meaningful. The guitar riffs are amazing. The drummer is not only great to watch, but has a unique style of playing. WATCH out... These guys will be KILLING the scene SOON!

22 Emery

So dynamic in the entirety of their history. They have seen much better days, but I can assure you they have not ended. I have never seen such a quality of vocal harmony and the meshing of screamo in any other band to this date. Their newest album has it's shining moments, but their best work is behind them unfortunately. Thank God that music is timeless

The harmony, the lyrics, everything about this band is amazing. They've been my favorite band for the past six years, and will continue to be. They have the perfect blend of hard-hitting and soft-touching music.

My favorite band of all time. Amazing vocals, and he music as a whole really speaks to men in ways no other band has. Love every album!

Emery is just a really good band. While not entirely screamo, it's hard hitting music, with a solid beat, and searing vocals.

23 Oh, Sleeper Oh, Sleeper is an American Christian metalcore band from Fort Worth, Texas. Previously signed to Solid State Records they are currently operating independently.

Oh, Sleeper is one of the first screaming metal bands I listened to (and saw live) back when I didn't really like metal music all that much. Back then, I couldn't understand what all these screaming bands were saying, but one of my friends just absolutely loved this band and their "Son of the Morning" album which had just come out. After seeing them live, I straightaway bought their album, looked up the lyrics, and listened away, and now they're one of my favorite metal bands.

Seriously, these guys just have a very creative vibe compared to some of the other metal bands out there, which is something I really appreciate.

Some of my favorite songs are Commissioned By Kings, Reveries of Flight, and The Conscience Speaks.

This band is easily the BEST Christian screamo bands. Most of the bands on this list are not even screamo bands.
Micah kinard, the lead vocalist of Oh Sleeper, has an amazing voice and scream. Oh sleeper beautifully combine poetry (lyrics) and rough sounding music to portray true feeling through their music. With three albums, two full concept albums (which are sequals) and a partial concept ablum, they tell a story of the atrocitys Satan is capable of, the sin mankind is capable of, and they explore the different attributes of god such as his love and forgiveness, and even his wrath and jugement.

Oh, Sleeper has some really great music. A lot of their songs tell stories such as "Hush Yael". I really encourage everyone to look them up and I am 99.879% sure that you will really like them. If not than I will take the blame for wasting your time!

Best of all time, period.

24 12 Stones 12 Stones is an American Christian rock post-grunge band that was formed in 2000 in Mandeville, Louisiana. The band currently consists of Paul McCoy, Eric Weaver and Sean Dunaway.
25 Switchfoot Switchfoot is an American alternative rock band from San Diego, California. The band plays as a quintet.

Simply the best band of all the above ones. What's up to you guys vote for this.

If you don't believe me then lesten to this is your life or meant to live.
