This is why I hate religion. It turned this person's brain to mush. If you are willing to believe a man walked on water why would it be hard to believe the bullshit Trump spews out?

Religion removes your critical thinking skills making you a prime target for con artists.

My dad is a born-again Christian and he threw out all his Black Sabbath records when he (re)converted. I started listening to classic metal in college, and I eventually had to ask my dad... "You threw out this? This is some of the lyrically-mildest stuff I've ever listened to." He just kinda shrugged, and admitted that he overreacted a bit, but this is still 100% the way lots of the evangelicals I grew up with think about anything that's not explicitly marketed as "Christian."

Wait, does that mean that Doom 2016 is based on true events, then? Because the H E A V Y M E T A L always plays when a portal opens up with loads of demons!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Doom 2016 isn't a video game. It's a documentary, and it was happening in real time.

I personally love that he believes the mere act of watching a horror movie or listening to a loud sound can open a demonic fear portal yet his fear of fear portals does not.

Always make sure to check your disk drives for errors before you have issues

Or in other words:

You best filesystem check yourself before you filesystem wreck yourself.

They think metal is all about devil and demon and hell.

Metal in reality: i'll make a journey and find this holy sword to defeat evil and uphold justice.

Alternatively: I'm a dwarf and i digging a hole.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I listen to metal with themes of "my life has go so horribly wrong and all i know is pain" and "hot goth vampire girls". Sometimes both at the same time.

And then there is a 91 year old Christopher Lee that is singing about his Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather, Charlemagne.

No, I'm not joking.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's fuckin sick! Thank you for sharing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

No worries! Finding this album made the phrase, "you'll never be as cool as Christopher Lee," go from just a statement of fact, in my head, to being a compliment. It's like being told, yeah you're a pretty good guy, but Fred Rogers was nicer than you. Must be doing something right to be in that company.

It's wonderful how misunderstood a lot of the 'evil' metal bands are. Bands like Cradle of Filth and Cattle Decapitation have ostensibly repulsive artwork and song titles/lyrics, but the themes and meaning behind the songs meander between tongue-in-cheek fun to philosophical pondering to outright castigation of humanity's treatment of the natural world. Judging a book by its cover and all that stuff...

Then again, there's Behemoth, who literally describe summoning demons and other pagan and satanic rites in their songs. But good grief, the music is so good.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Cradle of Filth is one of the worst examples to bring up, lol. Principles of Evil Made Flesh and V:Empire is mostly about vampirism and satanism. They literally have albums (Cruelty and Dusk) about Elizabeth Bathory sacrificing children in rituals to Satan to keep her youth and so many songs in Midian have Anti-Christian themes including a protagonist in one of the songs burning down a church.

But agree with you, only a small fraction of metal is satanic, it's mostly limited to a small subsection of Black Metal. Although... the wiki page for Early Black Metal in Norway is always a fun read. :)

The origins of metal have more moral correctness than the "Christian" US. Scroll all the way back to 1970, "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath. Song very plainly and literally about the corruption of the political establishment and the evil of war. That undercurrent never went away, all the way to the present.

I don't like metal. But if it rips portals open, I'll start listening anyway.

God damnit, I've spent all this time listening to metal and still haven't gotten my portal yet??!?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If anyone's curious, it's Psalm 69 by Minestry.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Based on the username, something industrial would have been my first guess.
