Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you... UNBLACK METAL! (Christian Black Metal)

so good

Listened to Nymphetamine(great female vocalist, but not a fan of the screaming/screeching/whatever the dude[?] was doing), Temptation(not as great of a female vocalist performance at the beginning[gets better towards the end], but less of the other guy's screaming too), and Halloween Signing(just the dude screaming and screeching).

Not sure why you would post this as a suggestion of a similar band to Halestorm, I found no similarities. Thanks for the suggestion, but please keep them close to what I am asking for.



Same goes for Antestor; too much screaming to be anything like Halestorm.



And I already listen to Anberlin, thanks for the suggestion though. Keep the legitimate ones coming guys! Still looking!


P.S. Saw Halestorm at a local event called Lazerfest; she puts on a good show too.

my advice is, use www.last.fm

register, play some halestorm songs, and see what last.fm recommends you

did anyone say P.O.D ?

Hehe... I have been a P.O.D. fan for many many many years. Before YoTN got popular, if that is a hint.

Anberlin is my favorite band
but they're not a christian band

I beg to differ kind sir. But I suppose it all depends on how you define it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anberlin#Status_as_a_Christian_musical_group
Over the years, many fans, critics, and other members of the media have consistently characterized Anberlin as a Christian band. However, Stephen Christian stated in an interview that their faith is more complicated than a simple label: "I think we're categorized like that a lot because we're on Tooth & Nail Records, which, years ago, was known as a Christian label and never lost that reputation. I don't care who listens to our records. If it helps people in whatever circumstances they're in, that's amazing, but I definitely don't classify us as a Christian band."[43] Elsewhere, Christian has remarked, "[My faith] affects every single aspect of my life, but I'm not a preacher, I'm an entertainer."[50]
Despite these statements and others of the like, multiple sources list the band as part of the Christian rock genre, and some Anberlin song lyrics do contain religious references. Furthermore, the band appears at Christian music festivals such as Parachute Music Festival and their songs have been included on Christian rock compilation CDs[51] and DVDs.[52] They are also played on the Gospel Music Channel.[53]
Anberlin has also been repeatedly featured in Christian rock magazine HM (Hard Music, which was originally the fanzine Heaven's Metal). Christian submitted a letter to the magazine, criticizing the avowedly Christian punk band the Knights of the New Crusade for a promotional image that represented a "black mark on the face of Christianity".[54]
Christian has also said in an interview with Lightforce radio how the band tries to "step out of the bubble" and referred to themselves as being part of Christian music. He discussed in detail what Christians should do in their lives: love and embrace others as Jesus would as well as show God's grace to others. He mentioned as well how the band Fall Out Boy said in an interview that they did not really know much about Jesus until Anberlin toured with them.[55]
In an interview with Smartpunk, drummer Nathan Young commented, "The thing is, some bands that are trying to get out of the Christian market, they get bummed out by questions about it. I don’t really mind it, because I’m a Christian, and I’m okay talking about it. With the whole term 'Christian Band,' I don’t understand how a band can be Christian. We get the question, 'Is Anberlin a Christian band?' and it’s like, yeah, Anberlin is — as humans".[56]
