What Gives Heavy Metal Its Devilish Sound?

2:44 Please post the whole interviews!

When i was a kid my parents would go through my tape collection and listen to stuff. If it had a curse word in it they would beat my ass cus me out etc. worse than anything i was listening to. They fell into satanic panic and i was the scapegoat. It made my resolve for metal that much stronger. Im now 47 years old and i still play guitar in bands , write music, and still search for new interesting music. KEEP THE METAL FLAG FLYING.

and once again – we see the "Christian fundamentalists" of the US as doing the devil's work orders of magnitude more than those accused of ties to the devil. They claim to be continuing the work of the apostles of Jesus – instead they continue the work of the Roman empire from the times of Constantine and later. Look at their giant, opulent megachurches! Jesus would definitely flip their tables right at their faces. They have much more in common with the priestly class of Roman Judaea than they will be willing to admit

Pish posh was an advertising gimmick stupid sell albums with covers.listen to Bach and Wagner ( classical )

Impaler! Played the hell out of If We Had Brains…

Love seeing Bill and Impaler here! Opened for them years ago and will again first weekend in August.

🤘😈🤘

I find it funny that you get criticize and get called a devil worshiper for listening to metal or anything secular related to. As a person that grew up with mostly rock hip-hop and throwback pop, I just find this unbelievable. Shouldn’t that mean we should criticize people for listening to Christian church music as well to even the odds?! Part of having freedom is being able to listen to whatever you want to, but I guess when it comes to religious people, they would like to criticize us and say that we worship the devil or whatever just because we listen to metal or anything that isn’t “Christian”.

Yeah, if you're goal was to convince Satanism wasn't involved, big FAIL! "We're not Satanists, we're just using Satanism and Pagan themes in our music." You insult my intelligence. "No we don't worship the devil, we just do rituals that pay homage to Satan!" 🤨

A true Satanist would look and carry themselves with dignity, these costume clowns are just minions.

Metal is for everyone
Stronger than the law
Our band of steel eternally
A union of the strong

Metal is for everyone
The sound is made from steel
Bound for pride and victory
The law of right and wrong

'Cause metal is for everyone

Gene would do the blood spitting before God of Thunder was written. He does that either during his bass solo or the intro of 100,000 Years.

c'mon you guys, I feel like it's cheating to use the same George Will column twice with two different headlines 😉

Instant dislike for tritone myth.

What's funny is that I am a convert to Islam (since late December 1990 when I had just turned 20) and I listened to heavy metal throughout my teenaged years and into my early 20s, and I was an avid Dungeons and Dragons player up until I was about 14. Both of these activities were seen as gateways into satanism in the satanic panic in the 1980s, when I was growing up.

I don't listen to music much anymore, and I only do so when I'm in my car going somewhere, but, when I do listen to music, I still listen primarily to hard rock, heavy metal, and grunge

This was a cute “primer” for non-Metalheads who just don’t get it (and maybe, don’t want to), but you ignored something really VITAL to Metal: Musicianship.

Rock, Punk, Dance, HipHop, and other popular genres don’t care much about musicianship, they want a good beat, an attitude, or even just a catchy hook, etc. Metal came FROM BLUES, HR, & JAZZ! It attracts MUSICIANS who know how to play! It’s not just about playing fast or being “Brutal”, Metal musicians are the CLASSICAL musicians of our era. We’re the only ones concerned with creating challenging Art, with utilizing polyrhythm, music theory, multiple time signatures, and other Music “nerd” stuff that most Pop music just can’t be bothered with. INCLUDING throwing it all out the window and just making great noises.

This is why it’s endured, not the “Satanism” or other jokes at U.S. Conservative Christians’ ‘pearl-clutching’ expense; It’s still with us and has only EXPANDED because it’s where REAL musicians thrive.

Thanks for not making fun of it or making it seem “immature” or “dated”.
🤘 ✌

How can you talk about heavy metal and Satanism and not mention Deicide???? They glorified Satanism. The singer Glen Benton has an inverted cross carved into his forehead. One of my favorite songs by them is called "Blame It On god"….
