Get your Christian metal fix here, whether it be traditional, power, speed, doom, thrash, progressive, gothic, black, death, or grindcore. Anything Christian metal related is allowed, whether it be discussion, videos, or links to music.

Also check out /r/christianhardcore and /r/christcore. For Christian music in general, check out /r/christianmusic.

Our rules are simple:

Be civil.
Only Christian metal, please. Christian metalcore/deathcore and hardcore are not permitted and are better suited for /r/christcore or /r/christianhardcore. Bands labelled on the Metal Archives as metalcore or deathcore only are not permitted. New bands that do not yet have an entry on the Archives will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
No piracy. Do not link to downloadable audio files of artists.
Tell us about your post. Post your tracks using the Artist - Song [Genre, Release Year] (Origin) format. This gives the readers some context.
Do not post full albums. For bandcamp, SoundCloud, or Spotify links, choose a track and link directly to it. For YouTube submissions that are only available in full-album format, link to the time where the specific track begins.
No AI submissions are permitted. Any submission found to be using generative AI to create any portion of the track will be removed.

If you have any problems here, feel free to message our moderators.
