Disciple is a [[ChristianRock Christian Metal]] / HardRock band formed in Tennessee back in 1992. While not quite as popular as other Christian rock bands, they have been relatively successful, having released 9 studio albums and an EP since their formation. They are known for their distinct crunchy guitar sound, radio-friendly melodies, and their strong Christian lyrics. Over the years, Disciple has gained a very strong cult following, though they tend to be more popular among rock fans than metalheads because of their radio airplay, mainly due to their lack of promotion to non-Christian metal fans.

** Their SelfTitledAlbum was much less heavy than their previous output, with less screaming and brighter melodies, resulting in a pretty straightforward AlternativeMetal sound. Naturally, this album created a BrokenBase due to its much more commercial nature.
