A few years ago I saw Mewithoutyou open for Coheed & Cambria. They all came out wearing parkas and played at least two songs fully dressed like that, with the hoods on.
There's Pedro The Lion. I'm not really a fan but it's definitely different from the sort of lame music I normally associate with Christian rock
There's also Jeremy Enigk, singer for the 90's emo band Sunny Day Real Estate who converted to Christianity in his later years and writes a lot of Christian-themed music in his solo projects about God and devil and angels.

Innocence Mission rocks
I guess I like Graham Kendrick's music.
Most people seem to dislike him, though.
ENomine is pretty much the only Christian band I like. It's electro-Industrial (or something like that), sound-wise it's kind of like Rammstein with more synth and more Ominous Latin Chanting.
My tropes launched: https://surenity2.blogspot.com/2021/02/my-tropes-on-tv-tropes.htmlI really don't think E Nomine is a Christian band. Just because they base a lot of their songs around Christian mythology doesn't necessarily mean they themselves are promoting Christianity or are even necessarily Christian themselves.

Not sure if you're into metal, but if you like power metal, then i highly reccomend Theocracy, Harmony, and Seventh Avenue.
(Using an alternate account since I forgot the password) If you want some good Christian stuff, I suggest trying out some of Neal Morse's solo discography. He used to be the frontman for the band Spocks Beard, but he left to make some God-centered music. Most of it is typical Christian rock, however, he has a few albums which mix his Christian themes and the progressiveness of Spocks Beard to make some great stuff. These albums are Testimony, One, ? (that's really the name), Sola Scriptura, Lifeline and Testimony 2. Trust me, if this wasn't good Christian progressive music, Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater wouldn't be playing on these albums. Also, it can be argued that Transatlantic's The Whirlwind (which has both Morse and Portnoy) also has some Christian themes in it as well.
Someone wake me from this nightmare, I've become my darkest fear...Oh the irony.
Want GOOD christian music?
No probs:

'It's gonna rain!'Has anyone mentioned Resurrection Band/Rez Band yet? They’re not excessively preachy, have notable classic rock (Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin) influence and are absolutely NOT your typical, bland CCM band:
Incidentally, I’m the biggest prog-rock fan I know, and I find Neal Morse absolutely insufferable, with or without Spock’s Beard.
Sorry if this is too preachy, but this is probably the only Christian song in my library and it's one of my favorites.
I mentioned Switchfoot actually. I still think the three albums they made pre-breakout are their best.
I didn't write any of that.
