[Nthuhman]

[hitman200ish]

[smokeyeds]

he is legend is a christain band anyone that says they are not r dumbasses

[SUPERIORzombie]

Did that guy just shit his pants in the begining clip? Now that IS hardcore....pfffttt, sorry, but this stuff truly sucks.

[Shadowzilla014]

Brutal...I'm actually surprised some of these bands are christian! 0_0

[19xstraightxedgex07]

Hey man, Symphony in Peril is not christian either. Look up their lyrics. All about whores. I mean look at the album name. Keep the faith my friend!

[nflfreak13]

couldnt of picked a worse intro song

[SamWesKidwell]

@nflfreak13 the chariot is awesome.

[crazywasion]

if u listen to this y not listen to non christian metal u cant understand either of them so y argue SLAYER!!!! actually the bled way better for what u like

[crazywasion]

if u listen to this y not listen to non christian metal u cant understand either of them so y argue SLAYER!!!!

[loganw345]

why must you plague stl with your gay ass shit

[FourWordLetter524]

@loganw345 huh?

[loganw345]

@FourWordLetter524 one of the bands is from stl idk which one anymore but the one with STL in their logo

[theflyiestmanever]

Impending doom....no way

[senselessbeautyband]

Check out the music video on our channel you will love it if you like this video!! Oh and in the second half we have a part in it thats for Christians who attack at Christian metal check it out!

[IamRASP]

awwww no for today ='(

[wyattbp1234]

I am a christian, but i don't let it get in my way of music. but anyone who says christian metal is "lame" just because it is christian, is a fool. Hardcore music pretty much started in the christian world. And there is no way you can call christian music "not metal" because this music is just as heavy as any other music.

[zach7000]

@wyattbp1234 im not trying to bash your religion, and i like these bands, but hardcore did not start from Christianity. the only reason why Christian metal even occurred is because bands started expressing their faith in their lyrics. it built from the music, the music did not build from Christianity.

[crusader572]

I dont see why Christian Metal can't be called metal. Metal=heavy. Christian Metal=Christian lyrics with a brew of heavy. Most people that argue against it just don't like Christianity. Atheist scum

[MrBrutalbreakdownz]

bruutalll

[EYOUTz1993]

@jimmie93x heck yes dude I totally agree!!! It's bein put on bands with images that's like seriously??? I'm a total Christian and that stuff bothers me

[KingOfTheOzone94]

brook reeves is ripped D00d

[RobcsiMobcsi]

he is legend not christian he is legend is satan. and the riff you put into the vid is not breakdown hust a riff dickhead

[FourWordLetter524]

@RobcsiMobcsi congrats you are the 500th comment to tell me that He is Legend is not Christian.

Don't tell me they are Satan. That is rude and judgmental.

[greenandblack100]

@FourWordLetter524 I wonder if you used "Third person knowledge here also?" I think so,since you used a gay word.

[loledddie]

@FourWordLetter524 they were christian....werent they?

[6shitsweek9]

@FourWordLetter524 shut the fuck up and go to church, how you even going to be brutal and christian at the same time? not possible christian metal bands are pussys

[mymama12314]

@RobcsiMobcsi he is legend is not a "satan" dude satan is in hell. if u meant "satanic" i would have probably understood. also, their lyrics have christian meanings. they never said they were a christian band but they never said they were satanic either. get your facts right

[Latedawnearlysunset]

Great vid dude, but I hate to break it to ya, but He Is Legend isn't Christian. I know they get categorized as that but one if the members said some thing like 'we def don't consider ourselves as a Christian band.'

[AdanLopez1994]

If you guys like Christian Metal/ Hardcore you should look up my band :) we just released a new single from out album coming out in January.

look up : The Forerunner lv , and scroll down to our new song "Blood On Our Hands"

God Bless!

[MrOliver931]

Fuck it if its good who cares what they believe. Its the Music. Your all fags for even making this political.

[FourWordLetter524]

@MrOliver931 How is any of this political? Do you know anything about true Christianity? You sound very uneducated and ignorant.

[greenandblack100]

@FourWordLetter524 Anyone calling Christ metal is lame mentally.

[greenandblack100]

@MrOliver931 You be contradicting thine self man. If you were in a group of selves like you,you would react opposite.

[fcdrift3s]

@MrOliver931, you sir are a common ass. its not about politics is about peoples beliefs weather or not you agree is your opinion. for instance i truly believe you to be an insecure asshole, does that make it true. no it doesn't, but based on your reactions to other peoples ideas i can infer that you are probably a person that lacks any individual thoughts and is offended by others who unlike you are confident enough to be them selves and put their ideas out there.

[jimmie93x]

being a "christian metal band" has become WAY to loose of a term in my opinion

[kaufmana666]

People lately have been puttin way too much into "christian" metal. Its funny how the bands have influences SOMETIMES about RELIGION in general then have a shout out to god or whateve in the booklet, then ya got these people on here that totally jus blow it the fuck out of proportion xD Its quite comical. I have ZERO faith and dont really believe in anything except the fact that shit happens and i like almost more christian bands than non religious bands. Explain that one with your holy ghost xD

[FourWordLetter524]

@kaufmana666 You don't have zero faith. It takes a lot of faith to believe what you do. What if there is some higher power out there and you basically spat in His face by living a life not believing in him. You are in the same boat as we are, so don't try to come off otherwise.

[greenandblack100]

@FourWordLetter524 Oh look,a hebrew name with "Antichrist's number or min! Fool

[Bobcat1911]

True followers of Christ are likeable people with true love and concern for others. Yet, true Christians are hated by the masses. This alone is evidence enough for me to believe.

My friends and I were criticized today by many students for giving out 1500 lbs of free bread to anyone who would just take it out of our hands. It's encouraging seeing how rhetorically disconnected my critics are.

[ghostofChrist]

awesome job. and i like that you capitalized Christian.

[Squeaky24241]

i didnt even know that was such a thing as christian metal but hey... beastly breakdowns ... almost like they were sent down by god .

[LeftForTheKraken]

christian metal has great riffs but shitty ass lyrics sry guys

[FourWordLetter524]

@LeftForTheKraken In what ways? How so? Don't go making these claims if you won't justify why you hold that view.

[LeftForTheKraken]

@FourWordLetter524 just a buncha emo lyrics that are thrown into a big paragraph not even really explaining the meaning of the song / moral of the song, i guess id have to listen to a christian metal band and really read the lyrics. but still no point in trying to copy metal riffs and add christian lyrics:p

[FourWordLetter524]

@LeftForTheKraken Hasty generalizations, inaccurate and wrong assumptions, and a biased opinion from the start that makes it impossible for you to even be close to a valid analysis of Christian lyrics.

Emo? You want emo? Try all the secular bands that sing about no hope, despair, violence, and have a general negative tone to them.

You lose.

[LeftForTheKraken]

@FourWordLetter524 everything is based upon opinion , an if its an opinion, could be described in many diff ways , an btw christian metal bands mostly use the same tone of voice hense the reason their trying to copy metal an call it christian metal. go hug the ground while you can were all gunna die pretty dam soon.

I win

[FourWordLetter524]

@LeftForTheKraken Haha, sure. And what is it you win? You win a purposeless life spent trying to fight off despair and hopelessness. Yes, keep telling yourself we are all going to die soon, who is the emo in the end? Haha

[LeftForTheKraken]

@FourWordLetter524 for one u dont even know me, 2 ur trying to tell me im fighting off despair an hopessness , i dont need a higher power to be my scapegoat, your god will not save your pathetic soul ur waist all ur time hoping and praying and for what , nothing you will die just like everyone else in this shit hole everyone calls our planet. soon enough you will realize that.. enjoy your life while you have it.. no point in arguing with u , u have ur mind set , lmfao c ya

[FourWordLetter524]

@LeftForTheKraken Ouch, those are fighting words bud. I just find it funny that you come in here to "voice your opinion" and then when I respond to it you throw a hissy fit. "you will die just like everyone else" wow, those words sound like they are coming out of someone with a lot of despair in their life....

[Rocksolid373]

@FourWordLetter524 this is true.. and we know we're gonna die just like everyone else, but the whole point is not to NOT die, its to live life trying to please God. thats wat He wants..

[drewndaberetta]

@LeftForTheKrakenur Lets say for the sake of an argument that your right. Then us christians are wasting our time and we will get the same results from death as you.But if us chrisitians are right then when the believers die we go to heaven while the non-believers go to hell for eternity.Why would you risk that. If you calculate the risks its not worth it.

[TavoAndAndrewEatsSky]

With Blood Comes Cleansing.

[iamthesheik69]

With Blood Comes Cleansing is fucking savage!!!!

[jester6504]

I have asked people about he is legend and they told me they cus and are not christian.......? Is that true? I want to add them to my music collection, but I will not allow a band in my cd case that makes religion look like a joke. Serving God is very serious, and these bands inspire me greatly.

[slipknotcowboy6]

@jester6504 I understand how you feel about religion being serious, however, just because the band swears in a song does not mean that the band is not Christian. I looked into them a little bit and I dont think they are Christian. We also have to remember that God gave us a sense of humor for a reason. Yes living for God is serious but we should not beat ourselves to death tryin to serve Him. I believe that he wants us to be happy in all of what we do. God bless Mr. Sir

[Xmaverick92]

like the vid but i have to say stiletto was better for the breakdown by Symphony in Peril

[Xmaverick92]

like the vid but i have to say stiletto was better for the breakdown

[cheeweeoze]

Confide!!:)

[jbold5]

religion has nothing to dowith music. its just the band itself gets inspiration and motivated. and itswhat they beleive in as a band.

[SilverSteel33]

4) Pretty good lows, and a really good high. The rhythm's really good... 3) I like this one's echoey sound, and then the death metal chugs are awesome. (AND THE DRUMMER LOOKS LIKE SYLAR from Heroes in that pic!!! sicknasty dude!) 2) This song is epic!!! So looking forward to seeing them at PurpleDoor10 next weekend... 1) Good choice. Very good, I don't think this can be qualified as Death Metal, more like Life or White, lol

[SilverSteel33]

Great intro... 10) He is legend isn't christian anymore, just thought I'd point that out... 9) I like that one, never heard of them... 8)AWESOME!!! 7)Good band, although I would say Pretty Soon, I Don't Know What, but Something is Going to Happen is better 6)Really good one. First breakdown I really got into 5)Amazing one, but ABR has so many... (gonna post this and start a new comment, I'm running out of room...

[MattIsAllThatRemains]

I think the top 10 most brutal breakdowns could all be August Burns Red

[gotcha981]

Number 2 band wasint even saying anything, I love christian metal and heavy breakdowns, but not when the person doesn't say anything and just makes noises. But other than that good choices.

[FlUdDeStRoYeR94]

August burns red is amazing... How Great Thou Art by Becoming the Archetype should have been in there!!! God Bless.

[killerportero]

the funny thing is that these Christians say..

"oh please don't hurt yourselves moshing, we dont want any trouble"

GOD FREE MOTHERFUCKERS!

"i dont believe in god, i believe in science."

QUOTE from Nacho Libre lol.

[xXxmcmuffinxXx1]

WRECKAGE OF THE FALLL

OUR GOD IS MIGHTY TO SAVE

im soory for all of you lost souls who havent found the true meaning of life. i will pray for you.

[fearthedayhecomes]

agape - for today

[yayyay92]

its weird im into this music but im not much of a impending doom fan...oh well God bless em

[yawwjonn]

yee i have to agree on the fact that most of it is not metal, it's more of progressive post-hardcore but nevertheless it is NOT garbage. i love all the these and judges of the breakdowns is perfect :D

[zojo10]

:O i think this vid is backwards?!

[AnarkyBorat]

None of this stupid garbage is brutal. It's a fucking disgrace to metal, and anyone who likes it should go die and see where they end up other than six feet under.

[FourWordLetter524]

@AnarkyBorat

I am sorry you are that lost in life. I don't care that you don't like the music, but it deeply saddens me that you live a purposeless life.

[Lamburgini0]

@FourWordLetter524 I think all he is trying to say is that he thinks that music and christian beliefs shoud be kept apart. Like me for example. I am a devout christian but I listen to anti christian and even satanic metal. I live a life with purpose but Christian metal just doesn't interest me you know?

[bfmv4ever99]

@FourWordLetter524 couldnt agree more

[greedazh]

@AnarkyBorat if this is stupid garbage y did you choose to listen to it?

[cupcakkerobber]

@AnarkyBorat the devil wears prada is not a disgrace!

[jbold5]

@AnarkyBorat your opinion means shit.

[sk8p3rson7]

TDWP FTW!!

[Liaizon]

The Devil Wears Prada are christians they went to Cornerstone so yeah sometimes i wonder wheres Haste the Day, Project 86, and Demon Hunter is at on here lol

[thedrummer4242]

begginning is hilarious hah

[runescapeloler]

mmmmmm maybe Back Burner shooda been number 1(; sorry i FREEKING LOVE AUGUST BURNS RED

[h4rdr0k3r]

is he is legend really christian, i thought they weren't unless i didnt see something from them

[camykid711]

Guys check out From The Shallows. Best breakdowns and they are christian!!

[FourWordLetter524]

@axmxs

people who are so lost and broken that they have to call others "stupid" because they are uncomfortable with what we believe and have to use defense mechanisms to make themselves feel better are typical.

I am sorry you feel that way, I will pray for ya.

[greenandblack100]

@FourWordLetter524 Born in sin man,it's thee way of satan.Chaos in huge numbers and currents.

[FourWordLetter524]

@greenandblack100

I don't which comments all for of these replies are to, but if you have a beef with me, throw me a private message, I would love to talk with you.

[omfgchop]

the devil wears prada is not christian

[FourWordLetter524]

@omfgchop haha, yeah they are. they are passionate Christians and they play the Cornerstone Christian music festival every year. in fact they are closing out the festival this year.

[boypony91]

@omfgchop yeah the hell they are

they were like the first christian band i found out about like 4 years ago

[devina103]

@omfgchop. yeah they definitely are christian

[LinkParkEffect]

@omfgchop ARE YOU FUCKING A GOAT?!?!?! OMFG IDIOT!!

[Calbenmike]

@omfgchop You are mistaken, but they suck anyway.

[Seraphmodel02]

Definitely picked the right #1

[peanutbutter956]

TDWP and ABR FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Godfan77]

4 of 5 stars

[zman962005]

yeah dwp!!

[ScreamTheSilvrlining]

as a quote from the great MCMB " I WANT YOU OUT OF MY LIFE" Boris is an amazing song!!!!

[FreestyleforJosh]

@ScreamTheSilvrlining saw them live =]

[lamborghini10101]

Brook reeves is just to awesome haha

[bxc1986]

He is legend is not Christian, although they were on solid state, but they aren't

[CxRol]

Thank you this is good!

[evrolicious]

tampering with the volume was a bad idea...

[PTWC18]

why wouldn't you put stiletto for symphony. its such an epic breakdown

[normajeanballer7]

good stuff. but d0000d, For Today has got to make this list. Almost every song in their album Portraits has an amazing breakdown. Especially Joel and Elijah

[antiheavyprods]

he is legend is christian? :S i thought they weren't.

[FreedomOwns]

IMPENDING DOOM IS SO BR00741

[thorncrag]

Why is As I lay Dying not on here. This list sucks!

[Myking55]

Cause As I Lay Dying have poopy Breakdowns :P

[metalmissionary94]

@thorncrag totally theyr the best!!!!!!!!

[thescreamofanatic]

I thought "He is Legend" wasn't Christian.

[AirforceAce7]

the opening song is the chariot, not symphony in peril

[ditdadi3]

Shouldve used Reptar for TDWP

[slmc777]

OMG I LOVE IMPENDING DOOM!!!

[metalcrew1]

my children my bridge isnot christian? but this is top 10christian bands? plv give me a call i dont understand it

[FourWordLetter524]

@metalcrew1

what makes you say that they aren't?

[melissa2833]

my children my bride is christian ... they are signed with solid state which is a christian label .....

[ffirehead19]

Yes mychildren mybride is a Christian band. When they first got signed by State all but one were Christian, Guitarist Kyle Ray was an atheist. In a interview i saw with Mathew of MCMB he said that when they went on scream the prayer with Sleeping Giant it helped them make the final decision to become a true Christian band and take there faith to the next level. They made a decision to release Kyle Ray in 2008 because of religious differences. So yes they are a Christian band.

[JosephThePenguin]

Im from their hometown, and have been to plenty of their early shows. They are DEFINATELY christians.

[WESTSIDEGENIUS]

they are christian

[mattchoo1]

@metalcrew1 YES THEY ARE haha

[metalcrew1]

@metalcrew1 sorry my fould

[soldier14E]

@metalcrew1 they are christian

[PonyBird]

Everyone who thinks these are great you should probably listen to the Crimson Armada the songs are called The Serpents Tongue and Gaurdian. I think these bands ave no realy great breakdowns just same thing ive heard over and over this band is mad good and unique

[Mettabosna]

ahahahah last one

[SundialInTheDarkBand]

lmao... in the beginning he sounds constipated

[xXthestormisnearXx]

TDWP, august burns red and confide cant go wrong there

[thephantom0]

There should only be arguments about which Christian metal bands have the best breakdowns on this page, not arguments on religion. What is with people...

[tidwap15]

wow someone finally got the right Hey John Whats Your Name Again? breakdown

[omegaotis]

ளு uoıʇɔǝɟuı ெ uɐıʇsıɹɥɔ இ ǝɥʇ ஆி ǝʇɐuıɯɹǝʇ றி uɐʇɐs ே ןıɐ ல்

[dustoff211]

didnt say they werent geez i just said the picture

[BLOODOFTHEMARTYRS]

HEY GUYS! we are a unsigned christian metal band and we JUST posted our newest single that we recorded in the same studio as INHALE/EXHALE up in a youtube vid. we would LOVE it if you guys checked it out and told us what you guys thought! GOD BLESS <3

[dustoff211]

last picture looks so satanic but i guess if you look closely you will see that it isnt

[FourWordLetter524]

@dustoff211 impending doom is one of the most gospel centered bands I have ever seen, and I am just not talking about metal music, i am talking about all genres music.

[FourWordLetter524]

@false37 pharisees who care about right and wrong and condemn others instead of acting with love (the message of the Gospel) aren't aloud to comment on my videos.

[paintedmitchell]

its good to know my opions are welcome.

[Kracg999]

That's funny, Brutal breakdowns in christain metal..

[rochse44]

Symphony in Peril isn't Christian at all.

[polloloco908]

I no this sounds retarded... But what is a breakdown?

[Hiouji]

its the part of a song where a huge tempo and rhythmic change is provided. you can hear various of them in this video ;)

[xXxtheSyqklingxXx]

a breakdown is where (generally only used in metal) it goes from one sound to another...like it goes from on riff to one thats way heavier...thats a breakdown...&btw...this is pretty good music

[notaprincebutaking]

abr is king right below Jesus

[LukiiexD]

Myspace Watchers & Hunters.

They are a christian band too

[pompomoath]

i know theyre pretty intro - christian metal... but demon hunter has some good breakdowns you could put in another vid

also, we came as romans, underneath the gun, the famine, a plea for purging, for today, war of ages....you left out most of facedown records which is prettymuch all brutal

[enter693]

or anything from freaking solid state records which includes demon hunter.

[mezol1zee]

4:13, jesus on drums :]

[J0shFrazier]

hahaha matt greiner :]

hes a beast lmao

thats funny as anything d00d hahaha

[fallenzerofrk777]

i love how theres a Religion debate whenever theres a Christian video or something

[JUSTlCES]

Well , have you never seen a good Christian metal band with awesome and insane breakdown ?

go get culture and look at Whitechapel band.

-This is Exile

-Exalt

-Eternal Refuge

-Of Legions

etc..

[sugartbi07]

wait are u saying whitechapel is christain

[crazymatts5]

whitechapel arnt christian

[Moleman3106]

i have never seen good christian metal coz it doesnt exist just like god a jebus

[ScreamoDrummer4life]

okay if you havent then why did you look this up... and plus you dont need to bash our religion.. keep your opinions to yourself, and know when to speak

[ohiopowerr]

out of all breakdowns for TDWP,

you pick the suckiest one.

what about dogs can grow beards ?

gimme half ?

[warriormole]

Back Burner makes this a win.

[SupraStar98tt]

Dude, He is Legend is not christian. Ever been to a show? Ever talked to Schuyler? Just because they were Solid State does not mean they are Christian.

[FourWordLetter524]

congrats, you are the 100th person to point this out. i am aware, and i made a new video, so it shouldnt even be an issue.

[djbiggyb]

well, i haven't seen your video, your argument is invalid

[skiddlecrumms]

imoending doom is christian? kewl.

[5treeforest]

0:01-0:07=Constipation!

[FourWordLetter524]

Pharisees aren't allowed to comment on my videos anymore. I don't care about religion and what is good and what is bad. God created us and Christ died for us. There are going to be different viewpoints on theology, but that doesn't mean we should be fighting over them.

[taim7]

it suprises me how some christian band are heavier or more intense than normal deahcore

[OldWalter]

everybody knows that christian music is gay and retarded

[FourWordLetter524]

everybody knows that people who lash out at Christianity do it because they are broken or uncomfortable with the implications that it would have on their lives

[cunjoz]

but there's with blood comes cleansing..so brutal but so filled up with Holy Spirit....i thought there will not be impending doom...glad there is...

[drumm1ngph3n0m]

anyone know if Bleed The Same is christian? a friend of mine told me about em and they sound really good but idk if they're christian or not...someone wanna help me out?

[coltontaylor666]

no For Today? hmm

[cunjoz]

too bad....theyre maybe the best...

[jdogg005511]

does anyone know where they sell those "Our God Riegns" t shirts they show in the mcmb picture?

[vanzylnicole555]

:-)

[SirGarforth]

I hate to break it to you, but He Is Legend isn't a Christian band. They may be on Solid State, but they don't consider themselves to be Christian. Living Sacrifice has a lot of great breakdowns though.

[evanse33]

yeah, that's true.

[roflinmypantz]

sorry but... you forgot about for today with there bass drops. they have the best breakdowns i've heard.

[FourWordLetter524]

If you want to discuss what I believe, at least do it respectfully. I will just keep deleting all immature posts.
