What christian groups were greatly influenced by the NWOBHM?

Of course Barren Cross jumps to my mind. Even Messiah Prophet Band. Any others?

Duh, really? Ok, any others? Stronghold would qualify.

Transfigural Form

I was greatly influence by
diamond head
sweet savage
def leppard
saxon
motorhead (who i consider nwobhm even if history doesn't)
judas priest (who i consider nwobhm even if history doesn't)
iron maiden
venom
samson
and many, many more.

Ditto what Todd said (except for the Priest bit) - but these days I am FAR more influenced by Todd's avatar than by NWOBHM.

saint anyone?

Saint for sure. Probably Final Axe.
Man, that avatar. Like a train wreck you don't want to see but can't look away.

That's because you secretly think she's actually quite attractive, just admit it!

I......like big butts and I cannot lie.....

Surprised no one has said the Sacred Warrior.

I'm enjoying this little thread where I talk to myself.

Hello me, meet the real me.....

Im not sure why Priest and Motorhead didnt get lumped into the NWOBHM either....history is stooped.

There is a Christian NWOBHM group called STAIRWAY that is still around. They were on the White Metal Warriors compilation.

Are they British and from the same time period as the other NWOBHM groups, ult?

I've never heard them. What do they sound like? I'll have to check them out.

Yes. They are British and they started in the early 80's. They probably were a bit behind the time since most of the NWOBHM bands started in the late 70's.

Their first full length album wasn't released until 1993 I believe. However, they had recorded demos and such in the 80's. They also had tracks on the 1990 compilation "White Metal Warriors".

Their sound is simple, British, heavy metal. I'm sure that most genre nazi's today would label them hard rock, as they would much of the NWOBHM movement.

Their first album, "No Rest-No Mercy" was re-released by Retroactive last year. You can hear samples and purchase the CD on CDBaby.com

The cover on this one was done by Rodney Matthews, who has also done work for Asia, Nazareth, Seventh Angel, among others.

Also, their latest, which retains that traditional British heavy metal sound is available on CDBaby:
