    They think metal is all about devil and demon and hell.

    Metal in reality: i’ll make a journey and find this holy sword to defeat evil and uphold justice.

    Alternatively: I’m a dwarf and i digging a hole.

      And then there is a 91 year old Christopher Lee that is singing about his Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather, Charlemagne.

      No, I’m not joking.

          No worries! Finding this album made the phrase, “you’ll never be as cool as Christopher Lee,” go from just a statement of fact, in my head, to being a compliment. It’s like being told, yeah you’re a pretty good guy, but Fred Rogers was nicer than you. Must be doing something right to be in that company.

      It’s wonderful how misunderstood a lot of the ‘evil’ metal bands are. Bands like Cradle of Filth and Cattle Decapitation have ostensibly repulsive artwork and song titles/lyrics, but the themes and meaning behind the songs meander between tongue-in-cheek fun to philosophical pondering to outright castigation of humanity’s treatment of the natural world. Judging a book by its cover and all that stuff…

      Then again, there’s Behemoth, who literally describe summoning demons and other pagan and satanic rites in their songs. But good grief, the music is so good.

        The origins of metal have more moral correctness than the “Christian” US. Scroll all the way back to 1970, “War Pigs” by Black Sabbath. Song very plainly and literally about the corruption of the political establishment and the evil of war. That undercurrent never went away, all the way to the present.

        Cradle of Filth is one of the worst examples to bring up, lol. Principles of Evil Made Flesh and V:Empire is mostly about vampirism and satanism. They literally have albums (Cruelty and Dusk) about Elizabeth Bathory sacrificing children in rituals to Satan to keep her youth and so many songs in Midian have Anti-Christian themes including a protagonist in one of the songs burning down a church.

        But agree with you, only a small fraction of metal is satanic, it’s mostly limited to a small subsection of Black Metal. Although… the wiki page for Early Black Metal in Norway is always a fun read. :)

        what you want to listen to is called power metal. they have amazing vocals and epic riffs evoking heroism and glory.

        if you’re interested in a journey, try Iced Earth - Dante’s Inferno. it’s like 9 songs in one. you can tell what it’s about from the title.

            I like judas priest but they aren’t exactly known for clean vocals. I’d recommend anything Dio instead for that particular aspect.

              Except for the growls during Halls of Valhalla, I felt like I could understand Redeemer of Souls far better than any of their previous albums. They certainly aren’t Dio clean…

                yeah I’m not super versed in judas priest so I may be wrong, I just mostly know them for scream vocals (still super easy to understand tbf but screams nonetheless). iced earth has that too but in more specific parts; it’s rarely prominent in songs.

    This is why I hate religion. It turned this person’s brain to mush. If you are willing to believe a man walked on water why would it be hard to believe the bullshit Trump spews out?

    Religion removes your critical thinking skills making you a prime target for con artists.

    My dad is a born-again Christian and he threw out all his Black Sabbath records when he (re)converted. I started listening to classic metal in college, and I eventually had to ask my dad… “You threw out this? This is some of the lyrically-mildest stuff I’ve ever listened to.” He just kinda shrugged, and admitted that he overreacted a bit, but this is still 100% the way lots of the evangelicals I grew up with think about anything that’s not explicitly marketed as “Christian.”

    At this point we really need to accept that there are still puritans amongst us. That said, [insert profane insult here, everything I could think of would irritate someone, and well, shit].

      I said BS at a presentation the other week, like literally the letters, because I wanted to say something completely wrong was bullshit, so I censored it for my wide audience. My boss “mentored” me later that I shouldn’t say that because I never know who is watching my talk. If those little bitches lose the heart of my discussion because I used an expletive to reinforce the strength of my observations, they can eat a dick. Obviously, I said I’ll try to keep their advice in mind because…

      If you’re into Satan, you’re subscribing to Christian concepts. An atheist does not believe in God and in extension, Satan does not exist either.
