What kinda people you hanging around with??? All of the metal heads I know/knew don't associate the two at all....

galwayrush

I know a lot of people into metal but not into superstition.

stevejr

To get into Bruxelles,..perhaps.

There's a difference between "heavy metal music people" and "attention seekers".

What exactly are they doing?

Otis Driftwood

Cos everyone knows the Devil has the best music.;)


Seriously though,its all a load of bollocks.The over whelming majority of metal heads dont associate with that kind of rubbish.

Besides,Satanism has a bad rap,its far from being all about sacrificing virgins and burning churchs.

Like everything,a very small few like Varg Vikernes for example take it extreme levels,the rest are just posers trying to be cool.

Metallergy

it has its merits though. you could argue they had foresight.. or that it's best thing for the kids to be listening to, as an educational tool.


"corruption breeds a pedophile, don't pray for the priest"

Slayer - Cult

"seen a lot of holy, seen a lot of damned, see the children hurt, by the preacher man"

Danzig - Killing Floor




- the extreme "divilment" is a response to hardcore "holiness" accepted in many walks of life, which causes bigotry division and war

alandublin15

parents too strict, didnt fit in with any other 'click' , want independence and/or attention.

People once said this was a bad influence and conjured terrible connotations...

Turned out it was feckin' excellent!

As others have said above, it's a lot to do with attention-seeking.
The rest of us just enjoy the feckin' stuff!

Pretty sure it's not puberty... The Devil has been growing under arm hair for a century or two...

actual devil worship? i remember me n maher up in the forest in kingswood held a ritual to summon, wait for it, "Jakomiah" the weather demon. Jakomiah... make it raiiiiiin.. it fúckin rained :eek: we were only jerkin about and with a few cans of scrumpy ffs.. but he gave us the attention we did seek!

It's all a load of bollocks, folks, just enjoy the music!

Fcuk the devil heres...

TeddyTedson

The Devil was actually the nickname of a heavy metal guitar player named Xavi Honderich. He was into all sorts of sick stuff and used to behead and mutilate animals during performances. In 1979 he was found dead in his home by suicide. After searching the house police found several suspected pedophile priests who had been missing for over a year, all murdered with evidence of extreme torture. Snuff videos were also found with the filming of each of the priests final moments but were never released and later destroyed by an unknown 3rd party. Also something that was never resolved by the police was the identity of the 2nd suspected murderer who could be heard talking behind the camera while filming the last priests final moments. The most notable thing the man, presumed to be German or German decent said was,
"Der Herr wird nie steigen während ich die Erde wandeln."
Police never discovered the identity of the man and gave up on the case in 1981.
Ever since Metal bands have often associated themselves with the devil while rocking out.

no different from people following god ,

its still a load of fairy tale bollocks

Elohim

Not sure if ya can worship the devil and listen to Lady Gaga's music at the same time, it just doesn't seem to work.

So I'd say it's devil worshipers (or people who think this is cool) that decide to listen to heavy metal rather than metal fans suddenly becoming devil worshipers.

initiate yourselves. and never forget your roots

Maybe they prefer the one who killed less people in the bible?

Debthree

if you add 1 letter to the words heavy, metal and music you'll end up with three six letter words i.e. 666. :eek:

Anyway, seriously, I don't know anyone who associates the two but there were a lot of rumours about Led Zeppelin back in the 70s. They weren't devil worshippers (!) but Jimmy Page in particular was very interested in the occult - being interested in it and actually engaging in it are very different things though. Oh but apparently the band sold their souls to the devil in return for the glory that is Stairway to Heaven. But we all get bored some days.

its a choice thing. Big gang of us grew up listening to metal, all bar one thought the devil worship thing was great. he has since been discarded as he's just too full on with the whole religion thing. Actually he seems quite insane. To celebrate this lets have:

Its to do with the dark imagery.

Nor is interest in the occult necessarily/usually anything to do with devil-worship.

- 'Satanism' is not to be confused with 'Devil Worshipping'
- Not everybody interested in Satanism likes Metal, Classic is popular as well
- Not every musician claiming to be a Satanist is one. Most of them seem to boost their image and sell more stuff

deathrider

Is this thread for real? I've been a metal fan since primary school, and my older brother and two older sisters are also metal heads. Most of my friends are huge metal fans too. I don't think I know as much as one devil worshipper though.

Don't get me wrong. A lot of the stuff I listen to is "Fcuk God" kinda stuff, but you take it with a grain of salt. Although you might sing along or whatever, you don't actually get behind the lyrics. In fact some of them are so cheesy, it's actually cringe-worthy.

Angron

I'm into metal, and I'm also anti-religion. And unless I'm mistaken, Satanism is a form of a religion.


Also; "puberty", cause that's always the reason for anything to ever happen.

Satanism can be a form of religion, at least we have the Church of Satan, which were founded as a religion...but not every Satanist is a member with them or likes them

Brandog

Could also be a power thing with some people.Adds a bit to their rep in their minds,all dark and scary.Was a time the christian right tried to associate metal with psycopaths and homicidal maniacs until they dug deeper and found out them freaks tended to come from over zealous moralistic god bothering families.Metal is what it is and won't appeal to all.Hail Satan!!!!!

Nodin

The American 'Christian' Right would be a leading cause of Satanism, I'd say.

There's a bit of musicology here too: Black Sabbath defined the early Metal sound, and they took their name from an early song they wrote. Bassist Geezer Butler was reading about witchcraft and the song came from a strange dream he had. The main riff uses a musical "tritone", something that sounds so "horrible" that it was shunned by classical composers and called "diabolus in musica": the "Devil in Music". So, the link between Metal and "satanism" was established early on: it could hardly get more "counterculture" than that in the 60s... :cool:

Tar.Aldarion

loved metal since a child, first album roots by sepultura at 8ish. Same as my sister, although she started off on acdc. None of my friends or I would ever be into something like that, or have anything in common belief wise, they just like metal too. Maybe it's black metal people you know in norway

PeterIanStaker

Long time metal fan here, my Dad gave me his Black Sabbath tapes when I was 11/12. Honestly some of the devil stuff I think - is done tongue in cheek and some of the gore lyrics - Death, Cannibal Corpse etc, is for shock value, it is easy to shock the American right after all.

--LOS--

never known anyone who was into metal that was also into that

seanybiker

Never really noticed it meself either. I have known people over the years thinking they where devil worshippers just so people would think they where cool or something like that but never seen any of me metal friends sacrifice a goat or anything like that.

A lot of metal bands make reference to Aleister Crowley teachings who was into the occult and black magic. He was given the title 'The worlds most evil man' by the press but preferred his self given title of 'The Great Beast 666'. Teenagers as we know are prone to latching on to anything which is not mainstream-hence their interest in some heavy metal music.

Spot on and to take it a step further.The tritone was banned by the vatican hence the avoidance of most classical composers as it was deemed to be of the lower nature hence of Satan.Rock n'roll and especially blues began to use it in the early years and all the kids noticed their lower nature was very nice and led to boyfriends/girlfriends etc and on into the 60's when the lads showed up dressed in black playing music of the libido.
Funny thing about Crowley is that he devised his "Magick" as a means to aid society.He had a nasty coke and heroine habit that near finished him until he figured out his formulae and incantations that evoked the lower nature or primal consciousness.He wanted society to use them as he believed it cured his addictions.Of course Page and Plant took it to a new level with the inflatable shark!!!!!

Ahhh...the memories... I remember seeing ACDC in concert many moons ago when I was pregers with my first child. Angus left the stage to join his followers in the audience and I subsequently got buried underneath a ton of his followers-scary stuff...

Why do a lot of heavy metal music people..hate all music that isn't metal

The funny thing is to worship the devil, you also have to acknowledge that there's a god, heaven, angels etc, the whole deal. They are as deluded as their god loving counterparts.

I think what confuses people alot is that they think that just because a band sings about War, Murder, Nazism etc that they support it. A bit like Slayer and "Angel of Death" There was huge controversy when it was released and the band were accused of being Nazi Supporters etc, but in actual fact, it was just a subject that interested them.

Kick ass song though!

Not one of my buddies would be remotely interested in Satanism and going back through the years I think some of them used an ouija board and had the ****e frightened out of them...where did they run... to the Catholic Church to be blessed.

As mentioned before the Church of Satan is a religion but doesnt support worship or have a belief in the devil.

Varg Vikernes is an Odinist not a Satanist but also is a bellend of the highest order with very racist views. Love his music tho.

May I ask how your buddies participate in Devil Worship?
