Ritual Servant from South Carolina, USA was formed in 2016 and have two singles and an EP being streamed on their official Bandcamp. The band is strongly influenced by classic thrash (Metallica, Slayer) and yes, they are Christian. Christian metal has grown in popularity since Stryper; a Youtube search will turn up bands of all subgenres (death, black, prog, symphonic, classic) and channels dedicated to said bands (a handful of these are Christian Metal Central, Christian Metal Detecting, Christian Metal Kingdom and Metal Cross). If you like 80s thrash and bands like Living Sacrifice, Mortification and Horde, even if you just appreciate them for their music, you may be interested in reading about the band and their history, according to guitarist/vocalist Patrick Best . Ritual Servant is the first ever Christian band to be featured in this zine; the interview includes links to their Facebook, Bandcamp and Youtube pages.  https://aeafanzine.blogspot.com/2018/05/band-interview-ritual-servant_31.html
