Answer 1

First you need to know what death metal is:

Death metal is a sub-genre of heavy metal that evolved out of thrash metal during the early 1980s.
Death metal's subject matter usually addresses more nihilistic themes than any other genre (alongside black metal), usually using metaphors of a gruesome nature to represent a larger concept. The genre was founded as the branch of metal praising 'death.' The focus on mortality along with the extreme nature of the music (as well as Possessed's "Death Metal") likely inspired the naming of this genre.

So in answer to your question....no!
Just like how many gangster rappers aren't all gangsters!
Just use common sense.
Remember that things like this....that lump everything into one category, are ALL generalizations and false.

Answer 2

Death metal music is one the most aggressive metal music that ever exist in this world of music, it contains some brutality, speed in maximum, high tension music and some amazing growling. That's the death metal music are. Then why people say it's satanic ???
1. People just look to the outside of the band or the music, they see some satanic cover art, some devil worshipper lyrics, some lyrics that against any religion. Then these people say this music is satanic !!!! And that's wrong !!!!
2. People was injected by their religion to avoid this kind of music and then they say it a devil worshipper music, satanic music. So then they say it to everyone who listen to death metal music. And that's also wrong.
3. People can't accept the attitude of some artists from this kind of music, and then they blow it to other people and say it as satanic music, and they hope people will avoid this music.

I am not a Christian also, but i do respect what the artists do in their music, and so in death metal music. They express what they see, they feel, they hate, they love and their like through their music. And what they see are bunch of lies and many people are pretending like a good people. So then they strike it with their own way through their music. And that's the death metal music is.

I just want to know, what are the angelic music ???? If there is a satanic music.

Answer 3

It's a knee-jerk reaction by idiot parents and people without enough to keep them busy (without injecting themselves into everyone elses business) to call death metal 'satanic'.

Some bands have 'satanic' sounding lyrics, and some might even be into 'worshipping satan' (whatever that involves), but most are just trying to make the heaviest, fastest, most psychotic music they can, and you can't be singing about ponies and bunny rabbits while you are doing that.

(Though it does give me a good idea for a death metal song - you can't understand their lyrics anyway).

Answer 4

Can an open-minded non-fundie Christian it is not keen on Black metallic (extra for musical than non secular reasons) yet has experienced the actual comparable ethical predicament answer? i individually won't pay attention to something that comes from all people that unquestionably worships devil, it is the place I draw the line. i desperate that a protracted time in the past. It grew to become into continuously difficult for Me as a results of fact i grew to become into raised in a family contributors of fundie that believed all Rock and extremely metallic grew to become into all "The devil's track" that's, of direction, comprehensive hogwash. yet get something pounded by way of Your cranium long sufficient and it is nonetheless there on your unconscious, despite in case you opt for it to be or not. I struggled for a protracted time with what to hearken to and what to not, yet after awhile i found out that it extremely does not count what a band says of their lyrics, it is all basically leisure fee and not something to do with the status of My ideals. I discern if a band, like lots of the extra infamous Norweigan Black metallic clothing is extremely worshipping the devil and burning down church homes and such then i choose not something to do with it, in any way. yet whilst there basically speaking approximately it, for the ask your self fee, or for the point of writing lyrics, nicely, no harm executed. it is extremely My address it, wish it is of a few small help.

Answer 5

it's a gimmick...alot of these bands are put into that catogory of being"satanic" by critics or just common belief. The bands actually get a kick out of hearing how satanic they supposedly are when in fact ,thats not the case at all.

Answer 6

That's a bunch of junk. Even if they ALL were, I have a mind of my own and wouldn't go out and start sacrificing cats during the full moon or something because "my music told me to". That would make me a moron!
