Black & Satanic Metal

3/12/2001

 
Today I have something very important to share...
Last week I was in my prison's little library, and I came across an interesting and fascinating book: LORDS OF CHAOS: The Bloody Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground.

Most will not be familiar with this subject, but the book concerns the rise of "Black Metal" music. This is an exceedingly more violent and satanic form of rock music than its predecessor, Heavy Metal music. Basically, this is what Heavy Metal has evolved into. ​

The two authors, neither of whom are Christians, have done a tremendous amount of research and have conducted many interviews for this gripping and informative work. They explore and expose the many satanic connections that are in today's rock music industry. ​

They also managed to interview Anton Szandor LaVey, shortly before he died in 1997. LaVey was the founder of the Church of Satan in California in 1966, In the early 70s he wrote the controversial Satanic Bible, which became a worldwide bestseller. 
 
Amazingly, an arrogant Anton LaVey, in an unguarded moment, brazenly admits during his interview that certain kinds of music is deliberately being used to bring hundreds of thousands of youth under (demonic) control for a specific purpose that, one day, according to LaVey, at the right moment, these young people will begin to unleash a wave of destruction throughout Europe and America. 
 
Even now, as these two writers demonstrate, many youths have already been committing various crimes at the urging of these rock musicians as "sacrifices" to honor Satan. 
 
In Europe especially, there have been documented murders, church arsons, cemetery desecrations, anti-Semitic incidents, and vandalism of all kinds, connected to Black Metal. Its evil influence is powerful and pervasive, drumming into many young and impressionable minds its satanic hatred for minorities, Jews and Christians. 
 
Also in Europe, most of the rapidly rising "Neo-Nazi" movement with its acts of extreme violence, has been traced to pro-Hitler youth who are, not only well organized and networked, but have almost all, without exception, been discovered to be avowed "Black Metal" fans. 
 
I know that, over the years, many people have laughed at various Christian ministers who have tried to warn and teach others about what goes on in some areas of the Rock & Roll industry. These Christians have been mocked when talking about such things as "backward-masking" or various recordings being "blessed" during satanic ceremonies, that allegedly take place in the recording studios before the release of a particular album, etc. 
 
Personally, I do not know if there is such a thing as backward-masking or if occultic ceremonies really do go on inside some studios. However, what this book reveals, and mostly through the words of the artists themselves, is that the Black and Heavy Metal rock industry is steeped in satanism and paganism. 
 
Their lyrics definitely promote Aryanism and Nazism, as well as the worship of pagan deities. Fortunately, the authors were able to give many examples to bolster their claims. These Black Metal groups deliberately encourage anti-Semitism and racial hatred. Their lyrics are also strongly anti-Christian. 
 
And so here we have it in the founder of modern Satanism's own words, that all these different kinds of music (Black, Heavy, Satanic and Death Metal) are being used for an evil purpose to bring the easily moldable minds of millions of young people under the control of others. 
 
LaVey believes this music is so powerful, that even without the use of "mind-numbing" drugs, the youth can be brought under its evil spell. He believes that many of these young people have already been "primed" through this music and have, I assume, been brainwashed and are now under a degree of hypnotic control, all of course without their being aware of it. 
 
Then, he thinks, at the "right time" when everything is in place, a diabolical sound or command of some kind will issue forth, causing millions of already mind controlled young persons to go wild. That at this apocalyptic moment, literally all hell will break loose on planet earth, and the youth will burst forth to commit acts of lawlessness, and that they will also make a unified attempt to somehow destroy Christianity. 
 
LaVey admits that it is already "happening right around them and they don't even know it." He likens these "kids" to hypnotized beings who, like a mindless "flock of birds, fly off wildly in all directions when there is a loud and sudden sound."
 
How horrible! So many youths all over the world may already be at different levels of possession and under various degrees of satanic mind control. This is very real, and the many crimes which Black Metal fans have already committed, testify to the accuracy of this. 
 
I do not have the time and space to go on. However, I will quote a few paragraphs from the interview with the late Anton LaVey. What he says should be a wake-up call to every Christian not to be ignorant of Satan's schemes and devices, and not to be spiritually asleep at such a late hour. 
 
In LORDS OF CHAOS, one of the authors asks LaVey to give his ideas of how the role of music will fit into LaVey's belief in a coming "Satanic society." He asks Anton LaVey this question: "Describe How This Process Will Happen In Real Life?" 
 
Mr. LaVey responds as follows: 
​
"Picture an assembly of kids - who aren't under the influence of any mind-numbing drugs, who've listened to a whole evening of Black Metal and then hear a roll on some kettle drums and trumpet fanfare. It'll be like that scene in 'Samson,' or in Cabaret, with thousands of right arms going into the air. God help the Christians then! 
 
"These kids are being primed right now with the Satanic Metal and when that moment comes and they hear the sounds of drums and trumpets it will be like an epiphany, a religious experience. The time is right. It's approaching D-Day and the apocalypse is at hand. 
 
"They've created a musical mood that's made the homogenized din, this wash of omnipresent sound, so that any drastic violent change in the format is going to have impact that's unbelievable - it'll drop 'em in their tracks. It doesn't take much – it’s just the right timing. It's happening right around them and they don't even know it. Like a flock of birds all flying out of the trees at the sound of the first thunderclap of a storm, it's going to happen at one given moment (page 240).” 

After reading this book, it seems obvious to me, based on the information brought forth by the authors, that there is a genuine underground network of Black Metal and Pagan rock groups working hard to influence kids to rebel. These groups are passionately encouraging angry and alienated youths to burn churches to the ground, and to commit all kinds of crimes for the devil. They want anarchy to reign. 
 
These youths have already formed a loosely organized end times army to, at the right moment, unleash a wave of terror and destruction throughout Europe and the United States of America. Many youths, according to the authors, are being programmed for this coming holocaust, even right now through the music they're listening to. 
 
In conclusion, I believe the Church needs to be ever more vigilant. We need to be more on our knees in prayer making intercession for this present generation of youth. We cannot afford to keep our heads in the sand while Satan gains so much ground and while so many souls hang in the balance. 
 
D.B.

Note: As Anton LaVey lay dying in his hospital bed, his last words were: "Oh my, oh my, what have I done, there is something very wrong... there is something very wrong."
