It has been widely believed that Lucifer before the fall had been the worship leader in heaven. In fact, his talent might be the one to fuel his pride.
The former worship leader is now using his talents to create in my opinion the scariest anti-Christian weapon of all. Not Satanic music and Black Metal alone but in general, all of Rock N Roll has the devil written all over it.
The reason why music is such an effective tool is that it reaches in deep into us. Sound is the most sensitive stimuli to a human being, more than sight, taste or smell. The memories of sound is also among the hardest to drive out or forget, second only to sight. Even Psychiatrists say that music has more power and influence over the mind that advices or lectures. So it's no wonder music has the uncanny power to make you fall in love, confess your sins, propose to your love ones, pour out and express feelings but also commit suicide, cut yourself and even kill and rape.
Heavy Metal in particular is synonymous with rage, pain and hatred. Some bands have references to paranoia, depression, rejection etc. Others especially Hard Rock bands like Rolling Stones, Guns N Roses, Jimi Hendrix are synonymous with drugs and booze. The deadliest of them all are those extreme metal genres like Speed Metal, Death Metal and of course Black Metal. These are the ones who have references to Devil worshippers, occult and human sacrifices.
If music preaches violence and death, then the people who listen to it are able to reject basic moral values and do the unimaginable. Case in point, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, culprits of the infamous Columbine High School Massacre are avid fans of satanic bands including Marilyn Manson while it was implied that Seung-Hui Cho, the man behind the Virginia Tech Massacre had references of Guns N Roses in his diary.
This shows us that music is capable of affection but also violence.
Music was originally created for worship but it's now becoming something else. As for Christian metal, I am in no position to comment.
