Dominated by the vocal presence of lead singer Scott StappCreed was a major force in the post-grunge rock world during the 1990’s.  Their spiritual lyrics led many to group the band with alternative and heavy metal Christian acts of the period like P.O.D. (which stands for “Payable On Death”), though the band tried to distance themselves from Christian contemporary musicians.
