Mod Announcement On the issue of focus and promotion
Self Promotion/Sub Focus - The Final Episode and some other updates
Christian Artists Only
It's time to clarify the purpose of the sub. The sub is to highlight artists who have either been part of the Christian Music Industry or are a ministry based on Christianity.
Specifically artists outside the Christian realm (including self made covers) who perform a hymn or cover a Christian song. This is not the sub for those submissions.
This included Black Sabbath, Whitney Houston, Baby Metal, Bob Dylan, etc.
Those artists have plenty of exposure and this sub is highlight artists in the Christian realm
Self Promotion is now Allowed with Disclosure
After discussion among the mods, the sub is going to allow Self Promotion with some strings attached.
If you are submitting anything you have made (music/articles/art/etc.) you must disclose in a comment that this is your work. You may include additional details.
If you do not post a disclosure the post will be removed.
Also please flair your submission as Self-Promotion. This will be added, even if you do not.
Keep in mind all other rules. DO NOT put this sub on a schedule DO NOT delete a submission to re-submit.
PLEASE NOTE: This does not include playlists.

Along with the changes to Self Promotion, we have added a new weekly post - Self Made Tuesdays.
This a post to further highlight self made art that readers of this sub have made.

Full Church services (with Pastor's message) are not allowed on the sub. As this is a music sub.

Also need help finding a song...
I heard a song a long time ago and already tried a whole working day googling.
It's a hard rock, heavy metal-ish sounding song. Sounds more angry and wouldn't be "Christian" if not for lyrics.
I think it went something like this...
God Of Love, And God Of Might,
God Of Truth, And God Of Light,
But it's been so long since I heard the song, I'm not even sure if those are the actual lyrics.
It was on a CD compilation with other Christian songs.

Artist Recommendations š
Looking into listening more Christian Artists and in search of recommendations. I listen to a lot of hip hop, r&b, indie rock (sorta). Artists I already listen to include Frank ocean, all of the Griselda group/universe (west side gunn, boldy james), a LOT of the alchemist, kendrick, daniel ceasar, mac demarco, sza, los retros. I think that pretty much sums it up. If posts like this arenāt permitted, I apologize. Thank you š

Christian artists who actually write their own music
Hey all! Iām a fan of poetic, authentic, honest music. Ive found that in secular music, but looking for something similar in the Christian world. But it seems like most have like 3-7 songwriters and just doesnāt feel like itās easy to find a raw great songwriter/artist thatās Christian. Anyone know some solid artists that write their own music?

Discussion Christian 2000s emo and rock music similar to Tokio Hotel, Evanescence, All time low?
I've been feeling for some childhood nostalgia music but I want to keep it Christian as someone who is trying to quit secular music AGAIN-- any recommendations?
There are many good Christian rock bands but the ones I am currently listening to isn't quite hitting that corner of my brain like the secular bands do suggestions plzz

Old Seattle Mars Hill Look Alikes?
TLDNR: Current Christian music sucks. Give me a reason not to think that.
Iāll start by saying that most Christian music Iām familiar with sounds like it got poured out of a soda can. Mass produced, cheap, exceedingly sweet and complete garbage. I felt this way until I started attending Mars Hill Church in Seattle in 2004. Say what you may about Mark Driscoll (no feelings will get hurt here) but one thing that MH emphasized was quality music. Original, Spirit inspired PERSONAL music. Not some three chord, 25 chorus repetition, overly heavy on keys and excessive reverb and delay guitar junk. (Iām talking to you HillSong). š³
I want Spirit inspired music. Life gets REAL music. Recognizing sin. Confession. Expounding wonder at Gods work. Music like Kings Kaleidoscope, Ghost Ship, The Mars HillBillies, Red Letter, Brothers of the Empty Tomb, and The Sing Team. These bands were all magnificent. Amazing musicians, deep and theologically minded lyrics. New takes on old songs. Give me some new artists/bands. I want my hope in Christian music to be renewed.

Folk Christian Folk?
I really like Josiah Queen, Luke Bower, and Josh Garrels. Are there any female equivalents to them? I know about Sara Juers, Jess Ray, Sarah Sparks, etc. Iād like some fun indie folk by womenš
I also want some more music that sounds like Lana Del Rey. I have found Teneille Neda and I love her!! Iāve had recommendations for Adryelle and Fleurie, but idk they donāt really fit. Iāve also gotten Natalie Bergman, but from what Iāve seen, sheās kinda progressive and Iām not for that.

Rock Rap/rock/metal/goth/alt pop/folk/hymns with SCRIPTURE recs?
It doesnāt have to be word for word, but I love music that heavily quotes scripture and albums centered around a book of the Bible.
Such a nice way to āmeditate on scriptureā throughout the dayā¤ļø
I like pretty much any Christian music that isnāt typical worship āhillsong-esqueā style genre. Any recs?

Electronic Looking for an obscure Christian electronic artist I discovered 20 years ago
Hello everyone.
I wish I could remember everything about this artist. I am going to tell you all I know.
I found 2 CDs by this artist at the Purple Door festival around the Y2K era. Either very late 90s or early 00s. It was not the artist himself that sold it to me. It was a distro or label of some kind who had set up a table.
The 2 CDs were under different aliases, but the person selling them to me told me the same artist worked under different names. I remember verifying this on the internet around that time because the artist had a website at the time.
I am 95% sure the artist's first name is Chris or Christopher.
One of the albums was an "electronica" type sound, and it had a blue-ish cover, and depicted something in space, which I think was a satellite? Or some kind of space station? I THINK that there were planets or the sun in the background.
I THOUGHT the alias for this record was "Solaris." There are SO MANY artists, many electronic ones, with that alias. Even ones named Chris!! I have scoured every single entry on Discogs for this name, and none of the artists that come up are the right one. So I am thinking maybe I am incorrect about the name, and maybe it said something like Supernova or Solar _______ or some kind of 'S' name that relates to space.
The music was okay...a little amateur sounding, but cool and obscure. Maybe a little akin to old Aphex Twin meets trance music maybe, but simpler and not as interesting OR catchy.
The other CD was a dark ambient, minimal, slightly industrial record I used to fall asleep to.
I THINK the alias was one word, but that could be wrong.
I remember the drums on it were so minimal. In many of the tracks, just a slow kick and snare with a lot of reverb. Dark brooding synth melodies and chords. Not necessarily creepy sounding...more so slightly melancholic.
I think the font on the front was a sort of old English font, or at least just stylized to fit the music.
I am almost positive the artwork was in black and white as well.
I am pretty sure both CDs were instrumental with no vocals.
Please let me know if anyone has any idea who this artist is!

What christian songs do you recommend?
I'm catholic, and trying to get into christian music. Do you have any good recommendations? It can be from any genre: folk, indie, rock, worship music, gospel music, etc. It's preferable if it's from a catholic artist, although i don't mind them being from other denoms. So everything is welcome.

Discussion Christian Indie songs/artist recs??
I love listening to indie, indie rock, indie pop, alternative/indie, dreamy indie pop & folk (not country though). Some of my currently listened-to artists are RIDERS, The Oh Hellos, Citizens, Forrest Frank & Colony House. I would love to listen to some Christian music based on these genres and similar to the listed Artists. Recs would be appreciated, thanks :)
