Occult/satanic/macabre/dark themes and costumes and setpieces have been present in popular culture and subcultures and media since at least the 60s. It's utterly harmless. Nothing happens. They aren't doing rituals or casting spells. You can't do rituals or cast spells.

Nothing happened when Bambi Thug performed at Eurovision. Or when Zeal & Order make music, or Twin Temple, or Ghost BC. Or Behemoth (or a large chunk of the black metal scene).

I've listened to black metal for years. I know others who have. We're just people.

Some of you look for this stuff and clutch your pearls when you find it.

    Ironically it is the historical and cultural dominance of Christian symbolism that even makes “satanic” stuff relevant or appealing for edgy artists.

    hUH?

    Also, I see this is just ignoring the Epstein class that has been ongoing forever now huh?

  3. I’m with you on this. It’s just an exploration of the darker side of art, life and mythology.

    I think it’s a bit of both…. (Fellow metal fan here) I understand it more in metal but especially with pop stars it can be very odd imo.

    Reminds me of the metal bands that were asked decades later about their use of satanic iconography in the 80s/90s and a lot of them said basically the attention they got was free press and increased their record sales.

    Call me whatever. That does not mean you are not deceived.

    Everything created has a creator. The Bible has made it clear that God does exist and that you are without excuse.

    “For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.” (Romans 1:19-20)

    Having said that, the God of the Bible despises casting of spells, that you don’t believe a person can do.

    Found at Got Questions dot org, “What does the Bible say about black magic?” and “What does the Bible say about witchcraft / witches?”

    Is it true that Satan is the master musician working behind the popular music scene and influencing our youth?

    Fasten your seat belts as you go on an eye-popping ride upon the roller coaster of Rock, and find out how Rock’s most popular artists have Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll. In this mind-blowing exposé Pastor Joe Schimmel reveals just how Satan has been effectively using popular music to undermine God’s plan for the family and ultimately heralding the coming of the Antichrist and his kingdom on earth.

    It’s time to remove the blinders – guard yourself and those you love from one of Satan’s most powerful tools!

    Hosted and narrated by Pastor Joe Schimmel.
