By Stephanie Jordan, Heaven’s Metal Magazine – <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christian Metal Bringing Breakdowns to Everyone…and They are Asking for It<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furnace Fest 2025 is approaching quickly, scheduled to take place at the beginning of October. It is a weekend of music festival glory hosted in my hometown of Birmingham, AL. This year, they are running a voting contest for an opening band. Brilliant move, promoters! They have bands of all kinds requesting their fans to go and vote to win the prized spot. After about two weeks of voting, the bands are down to 10 top picks. The crazy part\u2026FIVE of the top 10 are Christian metal bands<\/a>! This is an incredible show of force and support for the growth of the Christian metal scene. The voting link can be found here<\/em><\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The underground Christian metal scene has always had a niche market and very supportive fans, but the ability to crossover into the secular crowd is encouraging. Furnace Fest originated in the early 2000s and has always had a mix of Christian and secular bands. The hybrid approach isn\u2019t new to Furnace Fest, but having half of the top 10 spots filled by Christian metal really highlights how it has emerged from the underground and gained respect across the entire scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top 5 Christian Metal Options:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 1. No Treaty<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their website notreatyband.com<\/a> states: No Treaty is dedicated to creating music that energizes, challenges, and inspires. The band is  committed to delivering biblical and thought-provoking lyrics. Their music aims to be a beacon of light in the darkness, illuminating the source of hope, Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have personally followed No Treaty for over a year and they are killing it! Their music is raw, unfiltered, and a dose of hope in darkness needed today. Want an anthem today? No Treaty has written it for you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Cleansing of the Temple<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carolina ChristCore is all they claim. With a warm heart and vibrant message, Cleansing of the Temple will win audiences over with their brutal breakdowns and endless energy. I love that they aren\u2019t afraid to make people uncomfortable with their imagery, song names, and message. They have a punk rock heart with a metal sound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Dreaded Dale<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Showing their humor, Dreaded Dale claims Pumpkin Spiced ChristCore as their band motto. I don\u2019t know how many pumpkin spiced lattes you\u2019d find at their shows, but best believe they will get spilled with the pits that this band creates. Powerful guitar riffs and a relentless double bass pedal beat that sounds like the heartbeat of every metalhead will have you moving whether you want to or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Kick Out at Two<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southeast hardcore thrilling my old school hardcore heart. They have a nostalgic sound with a modern message. They are the band that you are headbanging to at the red light and you can\u2019t even help yourself. If you\u2019ve been missing what hardcore brought to the scene, this band is for you. I think I see a new playlist for these guys in the very near future on my Spotify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. The Tarnished<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mix of hardcore and metal with good breakdowns and some serious bass guitar keeps your ears engaged. There is enough \u201cblegh\u201d to go around for everyone. This band is energetic and brings their whole heart every time they play. Lyrics to make you check your heart and a beat that keeps you moving\u2026what more can you ask for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VOTE HERE: https:\/\/forms.gle\/QY2ZfDPFyrSuVAkFA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GOOD LUCK to each of you! I cannot wait to see who gets to open Furnace Fest 2025!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
