My favorite quote from the vid (though I haven't suffered through the whole thing yet):

"Metal artists are under demonic control during performances. These demons not only control artists performances, but enhances [sic] their skill..."

Apparently most of the metal bands in my neck of the woods haven't been getting possessed enough...
The demons have given up on me, I can't seem to play any more.

Here is a song about worshipping Jesus from Keith and Sanna Luker called "Bowls" They use Tibetian prayer bowls, and some other unusual instruments. Those of us who speak Christianese would call this Sprit lead music. Of course others might call it something less complimentary. I love this song.

Does that mean there are no real talented musicians? The only ones who are highly skilled are possesed...... I wonder if that theory transfers genres as well. I bet Mozart, Liszt, and Haydn were considered by some to be possesed back in the day too.

.........WOOTEN IS A DEMON IN DISGUISE!!!!!

Yep, you're either fueled by Satan or you suck. There's no in between.

Hey. come on now. Suicide Silence falls under that category, sure, but they had The Faceless (progressive/tech death) and Carnifex (who mostly make death metal now) as well. Not gonna lie, I kind of liked the soundtrack the guy picked.

Well, followers of LaVeyian Satanism are pretty upfront with exactly that. Keep in mind that LaVey Satanists don't worship Satan as an actual metaphysical being, but rather, treat Satan as a literary and philosophical personification of self-worship. To me, it's really just a repackaging of a lot of Nietzsche's thinking, but to each his or her own.

When it comes to metal, I think that the only people who really take the Satanism stuff seriously are some black metal bands and Glenn Benton...and even I wonder how much of it is an act with those people. As far as King Diamond - despite being a Satanist, I've always found him to be nothing but intelligent, thoughtful, and polite in interviews. I don't share his belief system, but I'd have no problem breaking bread and having a beer with him. Satanist, Christian, or Scientologist - I'm cool with just about everyone, regardless of theological beliefs.

Yeah, scandinavian black metal bands are the real satanists in the metal scene. As all of us know of the church burnings and murders involved with them in the 80-90s.

Glenn Benton is on another level to me. My old Death Metal band opened for Deicide acouple years ago. Before the show started my guitarist and I walked up to Glenn and said how we were very excited to open for Deicide and how much we appreciate his music. We both shook his hand and When we did, it was just a really weird experience. I felt something when I did. It's hard to explain, but it didn't feel right.

If anyone is actually possesed by the devil in metal, in my opinion it's Glenn Benton.

Didn't he say he was going to kill himself at 33 or some such guff that he later backtracked on?

Mind you, I still crank that debut album occasionally and being three feet from Steve Asheim in full flow was a truly awesome experience.

You sir are lucky. I wish there was black metal out here. It is not very Grimm and Frostbitten out here in sunny San Diego, California haha.

Alot of Death Metal and Core bands, but no Black Metal.

I don't know much about his personal life, but I know there is something "different" about him. And Steve Asheim is a beast. They were hella awesome to see live.

So drummers that can play with their eyes closed are under demonic possession? I hope it doesn't happen to bass players!

I didn't know Bon Jovi was a killer either.

I think we'd have the worst possesion if it was all about the faces we make.

The people they cite as metal performers is pretty out there. John Lennon, Little Richard, and Bon Jovi......Wonder where they figured those out. I have never heard John Lennon and Carnifex grouped into the same general style of music before.

Surely the more spiky and indecipherable the logo, the more satanic the band?

My bands logo is pretty spikey and hard to read, but we are straight Death Metal. No Satan, Just slaughter.

Nah....you are clearly a group of lightweights as I can quite easily make out at least half of the letters in Habitual Defilement!

Try these beauties....

Nice touch about hiding the natural organelle amongst them
