Here is a list of Christian rock and metal artists. Not all artists on this list qualify as Christian metal at every phase of their careers.

Christian metal, also known as white metal or heavenly metal, is heavy metal music with a Christian message. Christian metal is regarded more of a concept rather than a genre, since it has no specific musical characteristics. Emerging in the late 1970s as a means of evangelization to the wider heavy metal music scene, it was pioneered by American bands like Resurrection Band, Saint, and Barnabas, Swedish bands Jerusalem, and Canadian band Daniel Band. Los Angeles' Stryper achieved wide success in the 1980s. In the mid to late 1980s, extreme metal genres were popularized by bands such as Vengeance Rising, Deliverance, Believer and Tourniquet. In the early 1990s, the Australian death metal band Mortification rose to prominence within its country's underground metal scene. At the turn of the 21st century, P.O.D. achieved a mainstream commercial success rivaling that of Stryper, with two multi-platinum albums. The metalcore groups Underoath, Demon Hunter, As I Lay Dying and Norma Jean also brought a relatively high level of mainstream attention to the movement in the first decade of the 2000s, and were dubbed "The Holy Alliance" in media coverage.
