With a name like that I would think you would have to be good.

Welcome to CHM L4P, sounds like you and Alldat have a lot of the same musical tastes.

Nickleback is the only modern rock band I seem to care about much anymore. There are a few others but I seem to be growing further and further away from this style. I used to like almost all the ones on Alldats list but after a few spins I seem to get bored with them or something. Usually the problem is the vocals.

Something has really been happening in the secular scene though that I don't mind and actually quite like. Some metal band are incorporating more "modern elements" (like start stop guitar riffs) into their songs and I kinda dig that.

Thank You.

Yes, looks like our lists are very similar...that is why I needed to get over here to the CHM forum. As I get older I am getting more into metal, but can't say that I am a metal-head, cause' I do like lots of Rock and other stuff. I have learned about TONS of bands through these forums, so I really appreciate them.

Same here, when I stumbled on to the CHM (about 3 years ago now). I had all of half-a-dozen, Christian rock/metal albums. I have fleshed my coolection out to well over 300 (approaching 400) Christian hard rock and metal artists. Nearly all of them I heard about first here at CHM (or the CMR).

WOW, that is cool.

Yes, that is why I am here, to learn about more bands.

I wish I had of had something like CHM when I first started getting back into Christian metal and rock. I took a few years off from Christian rock, and I had to search and search the web to find out about what was going on in Christian music.

I love a lot of modern rock bands. I also love me some good melodic metal, but I don't think I could really call myself a "metal-head" either. I'm just a rocker, and I am not going to let myself become bored with just one style....EVER! There are too many good rock & metal bands, so the current Christian music scene is a veritable buffet for me. And, for those that know me--I can put away a lot at a buffet!

That put a BIG smile on my face.

I was out of it for awhile also, so, now I am playing catch-up.

Playing catch up is difficult--especially since there is always something new coming out, too.

That's why we all have to post when there's something new.
A good forum you make with all the members.
Each has something and together we share a lot of cool information about bands.

Thank the Lord for labels like Retroactive Records. Because almost nobody else seems to rerelease those old classic Christian rock/metal albums. Seems like when you do find a rare out of print album the seller wants a small fortune to part with it.

I've paid a small fortune for a couple of discs.

Me too. I paid $80 for this ultra rare album almost nobody has ever heard of ......
Lex Rex - Beat the Heat.

A couple of the bands you all are naming are metal not modern rock. Judah First springs to mind and I've read a few interviews with Decyfer Down, and they consider themselves a metal band as well. As far as actual modern rock bands go I like Spoken a lot. There are a few others that are very good as well, but this style of music does get kind of boring to me sometimes for some reason. I have to be in the mood. There just ain't no replacing metal.

AMEN

I still love me some metal, but I seem to be gravitating more and more to the dark side......er....I mean modern rock.


I would probably consider Judah First more of a metal hybrid band. Decyfer Down is a modern rock band. I don't care how they classify themselves--they sound like they fit more into the modern rock camp.

Sad to say, but as you'll note from my favorites list, I get tired of listening to metal after a while so that's why it's mostly modern rock. Yeah, no solos for the most part but my ears don't get tired either. I still like some good power or thrash but not for extended periods. If I still listened to secular, I could take some of the older Metallica and old Black Sabbath though.
