Description of Christian Metal

 
Christian Metal preaches the Gospel, but does so with power chords, long hair and squalling riffs galore. Christian Metal bands wear their ideology on their sleeves as much as any metal bands do, but sing lyrics of praise and often include biblical quotes in their album artwork. Stryper was the most notable Christian Metal act and scored a minor hit with "To Hell with the Devil."
