== History ==
Christian Metal began in the 1970s duuring the Jesus Movement, as Hard Rock and Metal was created first. Popular Christian Metal Bands in the 1970s are:
*Ressurection Band (Hard Rock)
*Jerusalem (Metal)
In the 1980s, [[Stryper]] became the first Christian Glam Metal Band, and helped Christian Metal Gain Popularity. In the 1990s, Christian Metal lost popularity, as other styles of Christian Music such as Christian Hip Hop/Rap, and Christian Grunge became popular. In the 2000s, Christian Metal made a comeback into Christian Music, and Stryper was in live performances for the first time in 10 years.
