Here\u2019s some of what was blasting in my headphones this May. Some classics, some deep cuts, and a few that\u2019ll have you wondering how your hips survived the pit back in the day. Whether you\u2019re here for nostalgia, discovery, or just a little faith with your face-melt, let\u2019s crank it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Love Life \u2013 Goodbye Lady Jane<\/strong><br>A blast of hair metal nostalgia with a Christian twist, this album scratches that Slaughter\/early 90s itch. Big hooks, glossy production, and anthemic choruses. For anyone who missed the glory days, this one delivers. Timeless for those who caught it on release; retro gold for new listeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Love Life - Goodbye Lady Jane\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fO1dJIzG6Ts?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bloodgood \u2013 Out of the Darkness<\/strong><br>A cornerstone of classic Christian metal. \u201cOut of the Darkness\u201d opens with fire and never lets up, mixing hard-hitting riffs with powerful, spiritual themes. The cover art\u2019s still a head-scratcher, but the music is pure, driving excellence, some of Bloodgood\u2019s best, with a passionate delivery and killer songwriting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bloodgood - Out of the Darkness (2023 Remaster)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SgliMqyUj-Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Wyrick \u2013 Mental Floss<\/strong><br>Criminally overlooked industrial\/alt-metal from Travis Wyrick. Released on Rugged Records, this one packs electronic grit and heavy riffs. It\u2019s a special one for me, one of the first CDs I got working at Rugged, and it led to a friendship with Wyrick, who\u2019d later produce P.O.D., Pillar, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"01 Supernatural - Wyrick\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rMKi1bw-R8w?list=PL8ouLgcI7hvQpHDzpx092Sbu7VceHsOyz\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Martyr \u2013 Once Upon a Tale<\/strong><br>Raw, old-school thrash from the pre-Betrayal days. Unpolished, energetic, and loaded with attitude. The kind of album that sounds like it was recorded live in the garage, and that\u2019s half the fun. A true gem for fans of early Christian thrash who dig the underground sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Imminent Warfare\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/utoC4q0dQWY?list=OLAK5uy_m2gbnLkmOGnxvMV5KePAuB4yGdPOrODHA\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Crucified \u2013 Self Titled<\/strong><br>Classic, essential crossover thrash\/hardcore. Riffs for days, pit-friendly aggression, and a spiritual punch. Makes you want to dive headfirst into the mosh pit, though my hips are writing checks my body can\u2019t cash anymore. Still, this one will get you moving whether you\u2019re 18 or 48 (or 51).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Crucified - The Pit (HQ)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zdzfcItNTus?list=PLPcTOx34g9XQU2zVsTwQsINdYf3mW8wzx\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Divine Incision \u2013 Cosmic Design<\/strong><br>A slab of death metal loaded with biblical themes and relentless energy. Not afraid to go heavy and philosophical, this one is sick to listen to on Studio Beats. Perfect for fans who like their faith explored at max volume and blast-beat velocity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Breath of God (feat.

Infectious, quirky, and catchy as hell, uh, heaven. I played this non-stop at Rugged Records in the late \u201990s\/early 2000s. Still holds up, especially if you like your faith with a side of campy monster fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"American Werewolf\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4r80BDhngAw?list=PLLCUAX1V61wHx7i6DGeBOI2NWJZ0fLX5s\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lust Control \u2013 Tiny Little Dots<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lust Control\u2019s <em>Tiny Little Dots<\/em> is a shot of raw, old-school Christian punk. Fast, gritty, and tongue-in-cheek with its lyrical jabs. I\u2019ll admit I didn\u2019t give them much attention back in the day, but listening now, their energy and humor are contagious. Perfect for fans of unpolished, conviction-driven thrash punk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Tiny Little Dots\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/5lVo8L16KbB9Qj8nE9nChg?si=s2379RCNTtm7UEK5lOXGHw&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s what\u2019s been blasting through my speakers this month, but I want to know: What Christian metal albums or songs have you been spinning lately?
