List of Christian metal artists

Here is a list of Christian rock and metal artists, including artists that played Christian metal at some point in their careers. Christian metal, which is also known as white metal or heavenly metal, is heavy metal music with a Christian message. Christian metal is regarded more of a concept rather than a genre since it has no specific musical characteristics. Emerging in the late 1970s as a means of evangelization to the wider heavy metal music scene, it was pioneered by American bands like Resurrection Band, Saint, and Barnabas, Swedish bands Jerusalem, and Canadian band Daniel Band.
