When I first starting listening to Christian rock, I immediately picked up bands like Pillar, Thousand Foot Krutch, 12 Stones, and P.O.D. to listen to. They were hard-hitting, uptempo rock bands with solid vocals. Over the years, these bands have all done what almost every rock band does at some point: they've gotten softer. Each album seems to have more and more ballads, less uptempo songs, and less "loudness" in general.
I've been trying to find new bands to listen to, but my musical tastes have changed since I was 15. I've started listening to Demon Hunter, Bloodbound, and Killswitch Engage; harder music with more consistently uptempo beats. However, I'm finding a shortage of bands I really, truly like. I can't do music with the entire song being screamed, but I can do some screaming lyrics. I can't do the double-bass pedal drumbeat for an entire song, but I can do a little of that. I've tried Last.fm and Pandora, but they always seem to give me songs that aren't a good representation of what I'm trying to find. Anyway, if you have any band recommendations, please let me know!
New bands I've just found that are pretty cool:
The Ascendicate
Bloodbound
Hymns of Eden
Astral Doors
Thanks for reading!
