That's good. Zao is still worth checking out though.

Ok. I'll stop trolling with my overly experimental music. Here are some more serious recs.

This band is my all time favorite.

This is what I'm currently listening to. If you prefer lyrics in your music, they start a minute or two into the song.

Norma Jean isn't just good by Christian standards though, just as a metalcore outfit in general they're pretty ****ing sweet.

("Christianity has been a key influence in the band's work; because the founding members claimed to have a strong relationship with God, they were considered a devoted Christian band, which changed as time passed. Former drummer Jesse Smith slowly changed the band's vision. Because only half the band's members identified themselves as Christians, Zao no longer considered itself a Christian band but rather a group of open-minded artists. Lyrics in future productions may or may not include Christian messages, but Zao has stated they would have loved to return to the Christian Cornerstone Festival when it was still active. As of 2015, only one member of the band claims Christianity as their beliefs.[3]")
from the Zao wiki

tobyMac was actually the first rap I ever heard. BUT THE SONG WITH HIS SON IN IT WAS SO CUTE. you might also have heard of KJ-52? I only heard like 3 of his songs though
