Christian Heavy Metal, also called white metal, is across-genre term. While most peoplethink that Christian metal has a milder or softer style, it actually covers allextremes in the industry, from pop metal to doom/death metal and everything inbetween. The one common factor to allstyles is the lyrics. Christian metal began in the late 1970s in the US and Sweden during the JesusMovement. The instruments used aresimilar to all metal bands and include electric guitar, bass guitar, drums andoccasionally keyboards. It gainedworldwide popularity during the golden era in the 1980s, with popular glambands including Stryper and Leviticus. Saint, which also gained widespread acceptance during this time wasoften compared to Judas Priest in style and sound. It took about a year for metal fans to realize that some ofthe groups were Christian and they were playing Christian lyrics. Stryper, who had gained commercial success in1985, received a hostile reception when they went to play at a Dutch musicfestival. Despite some opposition,Stryper went on to greater popularity and were the first band to reach platinumstatus on an album and have three music videos that spent weeks on the top 10list for MTV. Christian Metal was first criticized by secular music fansand, then, as it gained more popularity, it was also criticized by Christianfundamentalists. One of the biggestopponents to this genre was the televangelist Jimmy Swaggart. Unfortunately, his opposition back fired. He drew the attention of the secular media tohis cause, which in turn, gave the genre worldwide recognition. In the aftermath, many new bands from aroundthe world began to rise up and gained the attention of major record labels. Unfortunately, many churches were still opposed to theChristian heavy metal genre and rejected the groups participation in theirchurch services. A group, calledSanctuary, was started in 1984 as a rock and roll refuge for metal fans andmusicians. It brought people together,nationwide, in the first Christian Metal Festival in 1987. Sanctuary metal festivals spread to dozens oflocations and had a significant impact on new groups to the genre. For example, P.O.D. performed their firstconcerts in Sanctuary. Sanctuary finallyclosed its doors in the late 1990s when it believed that the Christian metalgenre had finally gained enough widespread acceptance. Christian Metal groups, just like secular metal, wentunderground during the 1990s. The scenewas fairly quiet until the 2000s. Asthe heavy metal movement revival began, new Christian groups emerged such asP.O.D. and Underoath. P.O.D. became themost successful band when their 2001 album went multi-platinum, gainingmainstream secular acceptance. Christianmetal, although no longer called white metal, continues to grow in popularityand acceptance, in both the secular and Christian sectors.
