As a Christian, I struggle to find connection to God through traditional and contemporary worship music. Though I have tried many times, worship seems false when I'm trying to force it. I lean more towards heavier music, so mushy Chris Tomlin songs don't feel like authentic worship coming from me. When I explain this to people, they always recommend bands like Skillet, but I still don't make a connection there either. So here's a few Christian bands that I highly recommend for those of you who are looking for something a little different. Listening to them and singing their songs really feels like worship to me.
Neal Morse Band - Christian progressive rock, often concept albums
Theocracy - Christian symphonic power metal
Lou Gramm Band (former singer of Foreigner) - Christian rock
Black Fate - Christian power metal
Silent Planet - Christian metalcore
