So I have been a metal fan for most of my life, I've been listening to metal since I was in the 5th grade and I have since graduated Highschool and soon starting College. Anyway, in the past few years I've seen this trend from some people in the Christian community on heavy metal music. They constantly hate on metal saying that its the "Devils Music". I am just kinda interested on the whole subject, and I personally I don't see it. Yeah some Metal music does contain satanic lyrics, bands like Slayer can be used as an example here. But these guys aren't satanists and its purely for entertainments purposes. I think this was just an effort to be more evil sounding but that's just me. I do also understand that their are genuine Satanists in metal bands and the community, but from my research these people are few and far between and the general community seems to avoid those kinds of bands and fans like the plague, I do the same. But there are satanists and degenerates in every fanbase. It just seems to be more documented with metal than other genres of music.
Anyway I'm curious if anyone has their own take on the subject as I find it interesting, and I would love to hear other peoples side of this subject rather than my own.
