Hank The Drifter

Honestly there's tons of black metal out there that's not related to any type of religious beliefs. I understand if you're not a fan but don't let the artists beliefs be the only thing that stops you from listening to something. For instance, Fen's lyrics don't express any type beliefs. Bands like Lantlôs, Agalloch (Arguably not black metal, whatever.), Ludicra, Altar of Plagues, and many many other bands. Anyway, sorry for going off topic. Although, I guess you might just be trolling? Either way though this seems to be a belief common among most people who have never explored black metal for whatever reason.


As for this topic, nobody really knows what I listen to. My mom occasionally hears it and thinks it just a bunch of random noise. She thinks the old country I listen to is ok though. So, I don't know. I don't talk about music with anyone really.

am I? some of the Pagan stuff has been adopted by so-called Christians - the yule log, the mistletoe so I'd rather not deal with that

Satanism is still reaffirming Christianity in some ways, isn't the Devil derived from the Bible? me, I also believe in dipping my feet in Satan's swimming pool now and then

I'm not trolling - that's what I've been led to believe about black metal.

Take it with a pinch of salt.....where have I heard that before??..Or is it grain of salt??..

I don't talk about it in the real world. I don't want anyone to think I'm obsessive about it.

Howard the Duck

most of these so-called Satanists in the metal world aren't that serious about their beliefs, I mean Tom Araya of Slayer is a Catholic fergawdssakes

the black metallists seem to be dead serious, in interviews anyway

okay based on what you and Hank said, I think I'll check out some black metal

Bloozcrooz

Dont read into that to much man..I was literally wondering where I had heard that before.

Most of Christianity comes from earlier pagan traditions (i.e. the virgin birth, the resurrection, the concept of hell, the visual depictions of Satan, etc.)

Like I said, you are a strange cat.

yeah I'm aware - that's y I don wanna mess with paganism - i feel it just might deride my faith entirely

and neways I find paganism boring - there was a anti-Christian club in my University and I went to their booth and found out they were Pagans, if they were satanists, I'd at least consider joining
