»Blow your Trumpets Gabriel« - Der Heavy Metal und die Frage des Satanismus.
- Authors
Hansen, Christin
- Abstract
Heavy Metal is a music genre that has always caused ambivalent reactions in Christian-influenced societies. For many, it is the epitome of noise and generates dislikes. Since the genre's beginnings, the stereotype of satanic Heavy Metal has been repeatedly expressed, which would pose a threat to the listener because of hidden messages or temptations. This article looks at various historical examples of the stereotype of satanic Heavy Metal and examines the motivations of the various groups of users and the functions of the stereotype.
