Christian industrial can be taken as either industrial music or industrial rock the lyrics and themes of which are inspired and influenced by Christianity. Just as in all other forms of Christian rock, the level of spiritual involvement required in the music to be called this is heavily debated. One extreme finds people who think every single song must clearly contain reference to God and Jesus as well as be on a “Christian record label,” while on the opposite end, others believe that if even one of the members of a band is a self-professed Christian then that is enough. However, most people’s viewpoint lies somewhere in between.
The term “industrial” is also heavily debated, as the term usually represents industrial rock (a combination of hard rock/metal and electronic music) in most people’s minds while actual “industrial music” generally refers to forms of electronic music that contains sounds similar to machinery or factories, not even nessicarily related to rock music. While assumed not Christian, Nine Inch Nails is one of the best known industrial bands.
There are a lot of christian bands who play a dirverse kind of music but not many have main-streamed in the industrial/industrial rock music scene.

Christian industrial bands during the 1990s and into the present have included, but aren't limited to, Chatterbox (Tooth & Nail Records), Argyle Park, Way Sect Bloom and Circle of Dust. Arguably the most influential and awe-inspiring Christian industrial band of all time is Mortal, composed of Jyro Xhan and Jerome Fontamillas.
