There are many. I'll name two from the heavy metal Genre.
1. Alice Cooper
2. Blackie Lawless from WASP.

Yes I said Blackie Lawless. He was one of the worst ones of all. Evil evil songs. Some were satanic. He got a new band and made a new album last year. It still sounds exactly like WASP, but the words are pro-Christian.
There are some scary songs about the end times and a ballad where Blackie talks about a change of heart towards God.
He's the real deal and I'm very happy because I loved their sound when I was a kid, but had to throw away all the albums after I came to Christ.

WASP was one of my favorite bands growing up.

Blackie has said that he was a Christian as a kid, but backslid somewhere along the line. So he's a Prodigal Son just like me. :clap::crossrc:

Peter Steele from Type O Negative acknowledged God, renounced that he was atheist and joined the Catholic Church before he died. And that is saying something, after years of self-professed atheism, anti-Christian music and interviews, posing in Playboy,
groupies, the whole package of rock stardom.

Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. I don't know if they are practicing Christians but they do acknowledge God in their lives. Also, there is a song on KISS's new album Monster where Gene Simmons sings of crying out to God for salvation.

I've read Ace and Peter's books. Yeah, they talk about God, but...
