I'm looking for something like:

Except I don't know metal and don't want to be subconsciously affected by anti-Christian lyrics (at least I am told we can be affected by lyrics we don't really pay attention to). I would usually prefer post-grunge rock to death metal, but I want something that has that externalized intensity and I don't know metal bands very well, nor have I listened to angry rock much in the last couple of years. Got any recommendations I don't have to pay attention to or research but can just stick on while I do some work?

This is an old thread of mine you might want to check out. http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/topic/100829-giant-list-of-non-satanic-heavy-metal/#.Uk87cYbFUhU

 

Wouldnt say everything on it has lovely soft lyrics, but i did try and sift out any that were anti christian, satanic themes.

 

 

What you are looking for is a couple variations on a very popular genre. Basically "Melodic Death Metal" though some folk metal, doom and Technical death metal overlaps with the similar vocal styles and melodic structure

 

This is a good place for finding new bands, imo http://www.reddit.com/r/melodicdeathmetal, lots of youtube links to various songs. They tend to avoid the "Main" bands in the genre, just because everyone has heard them before, similarly a rock sub might be a bit annoying to have spammed full of led zeppelin.

 

 

Ones that come to mind for well known good melodic death metal would be Insomnium, Opeth, Augury, Be'Lakor,  Hypocrisy, Orphaned Land,  Before the Dawn, Burden Of Grief, In Vain, In Mourning, Disillussion

 

Melodeath : Children of Bodom, Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquility, Scar Symmetry, Sylosis, InFlames, Gojira, Unearth, Woe of Tyrants, Shadows Fall

 

Closer to the death/thrash metal roots, but still melodic would be At the Gates, Carcass(album Heartwork), Artillery, Quo Vadis, Martyr, Exmortus

 

More Technical/Progressive Metal : Fallujah, Cynic, Aeon of Horus, Allegaeon, Psynonemous, Elysian, Between the Buried and Me, Dissentient, Dissonance in Design, From Exile,  Gorod, Ihsahn, Periphery, Revocation, Vale of Pnath, Veil of Maya, Decrepit Birth, Obscura

 

Closer to Black metal Style imo : Darzamat, Old Man's Child, Ne Obliviscaris, Septicflesh

 

On the melodic/Doom metal end of things: Graveyard Dirt, November's Doom, Daylight Dies, Katatonia, October Tide, the 11th Hour

 

More folk/Symphonic death metal: Ensiferum, Wintersun, Eluvietie, Craving, Suidakra, Epica, Sirenia, Anubis Gate, Barren Earth, Kalmah

 

Ones I listed above have a good level of variance between them, even in my loose and subjective group into vague and overlapping genre's. You probably wont like all of them, but there are some similarities to the ones you do like, may be worth checking out, you will find a bunch of different stuff you like, i predict.

 

As For lyrics, I find I dont really pay attention to any of them. Most you have to kinda try to figure out what they are saying anyways, or look up the lyrics. Didnt really have time to vet out all of them, though i excluded some of the weirder more obviously satanic ones. Would be glad to research any in particular you like.

 

 

Any you particularly like i can narrow it down further!

Underoath, Demon Hunter, Haste the day, a few Disciple songs, August Burns Red,  Love and Death, Project 86, RED, Since October, are some of my favorite christian metal bands.  I am not an expert here although the locals think I am.  That's a lot of screaming for Christ the inner genre details, figuring that out is part of the phun of someone more into that stuff.  There's Showbread.  Emery can be metallic when they want to be like Disciple.  Avoid REDs 2nd album and Disciples 1st.  Disciple screamed most in Scars Remain there second and best album but Horseshoes and hand grenades was good too even though a couple songs at least were pretty slow.  Oh Sleeper, unfortunately they constantly discuss the rapture but it's Christian and there sound is terrific.  

When Dallas Scott left Underoath he became the lead of Maylene and the Sons of Disaster. Saw them live.  If you like Underoath's early stuff you might wanna check this band out.  It's was once said by a secular metal magazine that the 4 pillars of Christian death metal are Underoath, Demon Hunter, As I Lay Dying and Norma Jean.  Underoath just went under, no pun intended, Spencer Chamberlain the 2nd and prolly the most popular harsh vocalist for Underoath just started the band Sleepwave.  Underoath lost a lot of steam when Aaron Gillepsie left the band to have a solo career and be part of the Almost a light alternative rock band (Christian of course.)  He was a huge part of Underoath in fact it amazing they went as far as they did with out him.  He was the drummer and soft vocalist.  He even does the harsh vocals for In Regards to Myself one of there best songs easily making it onto there anthology which I recommend buying.  I downloaded it (The parts I didn't own elsewhere that is) on iTunes.
