If you’re into heavier stuff, Christian metal is generally really fucking good.
As is the theme of the thread, a lot of these bands don’t consider themselves “Christian bands”, but hey.
August Burns Red - pretty popular, their music has a wide variety of influences in terms of sound but every album but their very first is very solid and consistent imo. Their drums and breakdowns kick ass; listen to “Defender” and “Bloodletter”.
Devil Wears Prada - also relatively popular, their style changed a little bit in the more recent years but there are songs on almost every album of theirs that I enjoy. “Sassafras” is a good older song, “Salt” is a good new one.
Silent Planet - probably the most thought out and intentional lyrics you’ll find in metal. A majority of their songs include footnotes to every line, indicating what historical event, biblical passage, or other artist’s work they’re referencing. “Panic Room” and “Northern Fires” are great examples of their sound and message.

I like Becoming the Archetype and Death Therapy.
Also some Demon Hunter and Project86 is some good heavy stuff. Especially Project 86’s final double album Omni.
And Destroy the Runner.
