Satanic bands

[NightCrawler13]

Yam Kimil has it right...... I would add Burzum but I just recently read that Varg believes in the old Norse gods so I wouldn't say he's "satanic". His lyrics are sort of though.....

Are you guys basing if a band is satanic or not on their lyrics? If you are, add Belphegor, Gorgoroth, and Dimmu Borgir.

Cannibal corpse is about gore not satanic stuff.

agreed...has anyone said Behemoth yet?

 

[NightCrawler13]

... who came up with the idea that HIM is Satanic?

That's just stupid.

Ark

H.I.M. uses Satanic themes...but if you ask me they'er just gay (litrerally) wannabes

[Tallerthanatree]

Behemoth owns. I have a shirt.

Why do christians listen to heavy metal. stuff like Burum. Didn't Varg go to prison for murder, also did he not get accused of burning down stave churches. I know some bands are just being theatrical, say... Cradle of Filth, and some are just plain stoopid... say... Glen Glen Benton. A couple of christain pals of mine were well into SLAYER when they heard them. Christians into Satan Laughs As You Eternally Rot...

<3 Glen Benton is my hero. Also Slayer is just in it mostly for the shock value m'kay?

 

[Theogonia]

Benton is a douche.

 

[Blackness]

Benton is a douche.

He is a pretty good troll.

 

[Blackness]

Benton is a douche.

He is a pretty good troll. But his music is awesome. Well, THEIR music, but I favor Glen over the other band members.

 

[Tallerthanatree]

Immolation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Deicide

 

[Theogonia]

Immolation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Deicide

YES

The only decent Deicide album is The Stench Of Redemption anyway.

 

[gameraofthebible]

Music is but a symptom of the human psyche. Regarding bad or "hard music", some people either lack of a good sense of music or are just have certain "mental" conditions. Music such as heavy metal or rap, are just a representation of how people grow up culturally or express emotionally. I personally enjoy music you can dance to., like funk, disco, electronic or psychedelic rock music. Maybe I just want to dance?

um, what?

As do I. I'm a big fan of Eurodance myself.

 

[gameraofthebible]

I was just noting what people call "Satanic music", which I guess can be whatever people think that means. Many people regard heavy metal or rap music as angry, violent, disgusting or influenced by Satan. Some people go as far to regard anything secular as such. I believe people who make music where they scream profanities and gruesome lyrics into a microphone may have an underlying mental condition. For example, if someone sings about something such as suicide, they most likely are severely depressed and need help.

I doubt it.

 

[gameraofthebible]

Elliott Smith is a popular example of that. His music was quite depressing and he wrote songs about suicide, then eventually he took his own life. Singing about suicide doesn't always necessarily mean that person will do it, but it can. I personally have no problem with secular music. Do you at least agree music can be a reflection of emotion?

 

[Theogonia]

Oh no I agree.

However I think it can be an outlet for emotions or feelings that would not normally surface in your everyday personality.

 

[OldTimesCruelty]

Or maybe they just want to write lyrics about those topics to more properly fit the music? Ever thought of that one? I myself have written some rather depressing, dark lyrics, and I'm generally a very happy, optimistic person.


Also, I have yet to hear of any member of a depressive/suicidal black metal band killing themselves.

 

[Theogonia]

Ian Curtis of Joy Division killed himself. Not black metal but still.

Also, I agree, I think it can be either or or a mixture.
