Insofar as Satanic rock still survives, the place to
turn is Norway, now the leading source of Black
Metal and Satanic Metal and for a long time the
gangsta-rap of Norway, with a number of brutal
slayings in its midst and wake, some apparently
ritualistic. Despite this, among its devotees, the
same familiar arguments arise that one might find
in a conversation about folk music. Who is
authentic? Who is a poser? What is classic?
Again, a true Satanist will tell you that all of this is
nonsense anyway, and that none of these
musicians know what Satanism is all about, nor
would a true Satanist cheapen their faith by
littering an album with tacky pentagrams.
But then, that same Satanist will tell you, probably
with a creepy twinkle in his eye, that all music is
Satanic anyway.
