Christian rock

Christian rock is a form of rock music that features lyrics focusing on matters of Christian faith, often with an emphasis on Jesus. This music is typically performed by Christian individuals. The extent to which their lyrics are explicitly Christian varies between bands. Many bands who perform Christian rock have ties to the contemporary Christian music labels, media outlets, and festivals, while other bands are independent.

In the 2000s and onwards, Christian rock bands Skillet, Thousand Foot Krutch, and Red were influenced by acts like Linkin Park to develop their own sounds that combined hard rock and nu metal. Skillet received Grammy nominations for two albums, along with having two albums certified platinum and double platinum. Red also received Grammy nominations for two albums.
