I am so, so very sick and tired of deathcore. There is nothing more pathetic, painful, and annoying, to me, as a long time death metal/grindcore fan. Nothing. I used to think Numetal was bad. I used to think metalcore was bad.

Then suddenly, deathcore... everywhere.

I was just really getting into death metal (and grindcore) when the shitcore plague first hit. It was nothing short of shameful: here are kids who have decided that they want to tattoo their entire bodies, put gigantic doorknobs in their ears (and noses, and lips, and whatever else), do the Justin Bieber hair thing (even though it was mainly confined to metalcore and emo acts in those days), and make br00tal music.

News for you, deathcore shits: deathcore isn't br00tal, it's st00pid.

This isn't just about deathcore, though. This is about the long, looming frustration felt towards the metalcore scene as well. As the metalcore scene was exploding (REALLY exploding, not that Shadows Fall hype bullshit)…

Welcome!

This list is not all-inclusive, as I am mortal, and cannot know every band that exists, especially in the underground scene. Also, I am sure to have forgotten some. If you have a band(s) that you want me to add to the list, simply post it and I'll get around to adding it. The criteria is simply a metal or rock band that is Christian. I'm sure I'm not 100% accurate with the genres, they are a general guide to help people out. But feel free to argue with me if you think I'm crazy! The purpose of this is hopefully to provide those who like this type of music with a resource to find new bands.

Bands with an apostrophe in their name ( ' ) will not link with last.fm code. If anyone knows a solution to this issue, please leave a shout. Otherwise, last.fm links to the band's page has been provided for your convenience. Please report broken links in the shoutbox.

A special thank you to everyone who has suggested a band name to add to this list, which is growing all the time. Spread it around to your friends!
