It's a lot, I know. But my top ten are: Red, Becoming the Archetype, Oh Sleeper, Demon Hunter, For Today, War of Ages, Sleeping Giant, August Burns Red, I the Breather, and Impending Doom. Out of personal choice, every band on that list is Christian, though As I Lay Dying, Anberlin, and We Came As Romans are debatable. Most are some form of metalcore, though there is some post-hardcore, grunge, alternative metal, nu metal, alternative rock, and punk in there too.
They are the Dread Advocates. They are the only light in this darkened world. They each hold the Composer close to heart. They have found the Way, they have learned the Truth, and have lived the Life. Together they shall bring forth the light of day.
