List of Christian hardcore bands

This is a list of Christian hardcore bands, including Christian bands and artists that play or have played subgenres of hardcore.

Christian hardcore is a form of hardcore punk primarily distinguished by its lyrical focus on Christian themes and values, although former Burden of a Day guitarist Bryan Honhart has suggested that the genre also possesses sonic distinctions.[1] No Innocent Victim is considered a progenitor of the movement. In recent years, Demon Hunter[2] and The Chariot,[3] among others, have gained considerable popularity in the scene, while the popularity of bands such as Underoath, As I Lay Dying, and Norma Jean has helped gain mainstream attention for the genre.
