Jerusalem is a Christian rock band, based in Sweden that was founded around 1975 by Ulf Christiansson. They are widely viewed as the first Christian band with a hard rock sound.

When the band first toured in the mid-1970's in Sweden, their combination of Christian lyrics with a hard rock sound was very controversial. Hard rock was connected to drugs, aggression and the Devil, and the band was only permitted to perform at a few churches.
