Hellfury wrote:Satanic (Black) Metal – The Dangers Thereof

What I once perceived as “awesome” and “powerful” I now see too many an error in. As an individual who was once a vehement defender of this closed-off sect of society, I do believe that I can now stand against it.

Black Metal, “The Devil’s Music” is a journey. It consumes you; it brings out all your rage, anger, and hatred. It changes your outlook on life, to something where optimism, the very thing that spurs the progression of society, is crushed. It, simply put, can alter the course of your life. I’m at a stage now where I can’t function, because of so much pent up rage, due to constant reinforcement of pessimism. I lived, breathed, and spoke black metal. I had subliminal music playing 24/7. I was obsessed...Spellbound so to speak. The more hateful the better. I fed on it. I couldn’t listen to anything else. Feel good music made me sick. I would sit on my bed and listen to the same song play 14 times. My iTunes “Most played list” is testimony to this fact. At the top Of the List is Dimmu Borgir’s “Satan My Master” with a play count of 1376…It got so bad that I would lock myself in my room with cigarettes and coffee and listen to that song over and over until I fell asleep.

It’s affected my relationships with people too. Ironically, I can’t take people being hostile to me. I mistake assertiveness for aggression. My relationship with my mother is close to dead. I can’t even bring myself to say hello to her. I can’t/couldn’t talk to anyone who does/didn’t have the same pessimistic outlook on life. I took it too far…it consumed me…and I don’t know who I am anymore…

Some of you will dismiss this as juvenile and pathetic, and will tell me “I told you so.” However, this is just me coming to terms with it

Regards, Justin

This type of music is a poison. It poisons the listener to such an extent that they (Like hellfury said) withdraw themselves from people and seek comfort with others who listens to the same crap. Guess what, normally it's the wrong crowd that's involved with unsavory stuff. Drugs, alcohol and satanism ect ect.

So, the aged old saying: What would Jesus do? Would he sing these lyrics? Would he be associated with this? NEVER!

It has buried itself in my subconscious and the devil wants me to use the Lords name in vein. I immediately found another song to sing.

I don't like to be associated with people listening to this crap. Purely because I am a Christian. Words/lyrics/music of this nature has no space in my life. Why would you listen to it to start off with? What positive change does these lyrics and songs bring to your life? If you say it enriches your life, to what extent and what direction?

"Doodsdronk, god waar is my hond." Afte hearing this I killed the song and deleted it from my pc.
Days after that while riding to work I suddenly started singing only that part of the song!
Why?

What would Jesus do?

Like the saying: "You are what you eat" its the same with music but little different. "You become what you listen to".

I listened to the one song from "Die Antwoord" called Doosdronk.
Here is a extract of one part of the lyrics:

"Doodsdronk, god waar is my hond." Afte hearing this I killed the song and deleted it from my pc.

Why?
