Several general market metal bands who do not identify themselves as a "Christian band" but still use their lyrics to portray God in a positive light. {{fact}} There are some bands, [[Virgin Black]] and [[Klank]], for example, who have Christian members but prefer to remain in the general market. Other more notable mainstream acts that feature Christian members are [[Shadow Gallery]], [[Magnitude 9]], [[Killswitch Engage]], [[Mercyful Fate]], [[Savatage]], [[Megadeth]], and [[Comeback Kid]].
Some metal fans consider the use of Christian lyrics to be opposed to the "true" purpose of metal while some Christians consider metal music opposed to their faith. However, many metal fans and artists see metal as a genre of music such as any genre be it blues, ska, punk, or otherwise. The lyrics of any song reflects the beliefs of the piece's author. Therefore Christian metal is created when these metal artist write in such a way that reflects their faith in Christ.
