During this era, it is very common to see a band labeled as a Christian rock band by the lyrics mixed with harsh vocals and a rough guitar rift. Of course before it became common, it underwent a lot of controversies due to the conservative nature of the church and its followers during that time. Of course nowadays Christian Rock Charlotte is thriving very much and is becoming more and more popular due to the appearance of many bands out there.
Of course ever since the coming out of the rock genre, many Christians have been opposed to this music as they claim it to be the music of the devil due to its violent and sexual nature. It also did not help that many rockstars during that time were singing about sex, beating people up, revolution, and many other controversial topics. Of course there were also those unconventional Christian rockstars who enjoyed the hard beat and decided to change this mindset.
Among the first bands to join this bandwagon was none other than the Crusaders. As they were the first to come out into the scene, they were not as widely accepted because of the beliefs of the church during that time. Eventually the band become more well loved by the public and then many other bands soon followed their example.
Although the Crusaders were among the first to spread the genre, it was Larry Norman who was the one who really popularized the sub genre. He was a musician and lyricist who was looked upon by a lot of artists during that time and became one of the core influences of many bands today. It was because of this man that the sub genre was slowly able to seep into the secular music world and became more well known by many.
During the time that glam rock and metal became famous, one striking band known as Stryper made its appearance. They were a glam band that talked about their religion and how proud they were about it. They are the ones that almost completely dominated the secular music world as not only Christians listened to them but non Christians as well.
In the early eighties, thrash metal became the new big fad with bands like Metallica and Slayer leading the pack. Amidst the rising popularity of the genre, one band emerged as a Christian thrash metal band that was known as Tourniquet. They were so popular and good that they were already considered to be as good as the top thrash metal bands but never reached there because they were not strictly thrash metal.
This sub genre became very popular when the nineties came. Alternative and punk bands emerged in this sub genre and captured the hearts of many. Many bands in fact became mainstream because of their popularity.
Until today, many more bands are coming out and making a name for themselves. In fact, the growth of this type of music is known to be one of the most impressive. If one would in fact travel to Charlotte SC, he will see so many small bands starting out.
