  Christian metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christian metal is a form of heavy metal music with explicitly Christian lyrics and themes.
Second, there are several general-market metal bands who do not identify themselves as a "Christian band" but who still use their lyrics to portray the Christian God in a positive light.
As is to be expected, there are not a great deal of churches that allow metal bands to perform, with more contemporary churches (and churches such as Sanctuary International and Revolution, which target their ministries at people who do not fit well at more conventional churches) being an exception to this.

Some folks have a problem with Christian music of this ilk and for those folks I say "Lighten up, God isn't nearly as narrowminded as you think He is and His ways are not always our ways." A musician is an artist like any other and as such their talent is a gift.
Christian musicians use their gift to glorify God and some use it as a ministry.
Not every Christian musician is called into ministry so their music might not be evangelical in nature.
