Although some people think Christian metal is different from the other metal (specially atheist or satanic metal), the only thing that makes a band a Christian metal band, is the lyrics or the beliefs of the members. Christian metal is in all the subgenres, from glam metal (like Stryper) to black metal (like Antestor).

there are many Christian bands of thrash, the best being Tourniquet. This is my favorite metal subgenre, and I like many bands. Most notable Christian thrash bands are: Deliverance, Believer, Vengeance Rising and Tourniquet.

the best band here is Living Sacrifice, although they have changed their genre (in their debut album, they were thrash, in the next to albums they were death metal, next changed to metalcore). Other great bands are Mortification, Crimson Thorn, Extol and Opprobium.
bands like Narnia, Theocracy, Divinefire, Harmony and Jacobs Dream
Glam metal is a subgenre of heavy metal that features pop-influenced hooks and guitar riffs, and upbeat rock anthems. the best Christian metal band is here, Stryper
although black metal is known for being satanic, unblack metal bands make black metal with Christian message. Famous black metal bands are Antestor, Extol and Horde.
this one is my vote. Actually, I really don't like black metal. It sucks!
in Christian metal, many power metal bands play prog metal too
Mortal is cited as one of the first Christian bands that represented the style. Mortal was not the first Christian band that played industrial metal, but they had a notable role in that they opened ways for 1990s industrial metal bands, both Christian and secular.
