Oh, Sleeper is brutal? Since when? They're average post-hardcore band, nothing more. Cannibal Corpse, Mortician, Devournment - that's what brutal metal is.
Anyway, Underoath is one of my favourite bands. They are (or were, because they're disbanding in 2013) not a Christian band. As the vocalist Spencer Chamberlain said, Christianity is the "backbone of our lives, especially in the way that we handle certain things, but it’s not so much the backbone of our lyrics. It’s not like every song is a lesson from the Bible or something. It’s just normal life struggles."
However, in 1999 and 2000 they released two Unblack metal (black metal with lyrics about Christianity) EPs, Act Of Depression and Cries Of The Past, which are also influenced by death metal and post-hardcore. I'd recommend OP to give them a listen.
I think the vocalist from oh sleeper sounds more 'brutal' in conviction than every single old skool death metal band combined. I'd seriously recommended giving their second and third albums a listen. Just my opinion.
Is it normal I listen to Death and Black Metal and I'm a Christian?
