Slipknot isn't too bad, though looking at them as a Christian influence is a very big stretch for me. I like the halloween masks and stuff, but I would classify them more in the metalcore/nu-metal myself. They have some good telent musically though, but I don't know their philosophies as far as morals and/or religion is.
Linkin Park is more of a hybrid. I wouldn't put them in the metal scene at all. More like Prog-rock mixed with a bit of hip-hop or rap. I like a few of their songs, but I'm not much of a fan at all. Apologetix did a great remake of "In the End" called "Chorinthians" which was absolutely great, and our band thought about covering it at church one time.
