Being A Metalhead Doesn’t Make You a Satanist!!
Whilst on the topic of heavy metal, I figured I would destroy another unrealistic stereotype of heavy metal fans being Satanists. What a load of crap
For years groups such as the Parents Music Recourse Centre and the bastards at the Westboro Baptist Church have attempted to deem heavy metal an unchristian style of music. Sure there are extreme bands such slayer, and those in the the Norwegian Black Metal scene that directly attack religion. But these are extremes.
Metal bands are mistaken as satanic by their evil sound and occult themed vocals about Satan. But does this mean its promoting Satan? No. When you consider this, metal can actually be considered a product promoting fear in Satan, therefore emphasising the Christian belief that Satan is evil.
One example of this comes from my Favorite band Black Sabbath. Credited by most as the first proper heavy metal band, they wore crosses and used occult themed artwork on their albums. But the crosses were originally given to them as a gift for protection. Due to their christian faith, they still wear crosses today. So to all of those overly religious people who are blinded by their faith in god, open your own eyes and see that metal is about as evil and satanic as the pop music you promote on radio every day.
