I was wondering the same thing, which just calls into attention the lazy writing. I think it’s an interesting topic but reads more like a Buzzfeed listicle.

I do greatly enjoy pointing out to those folks who are freaking out about “Satanic Metal” that most of that exists specifically to grind their gears.

They tend to STFU when you point out that one of the most be-pentagrammed bands out there (SLAYER) has said they are pretty much a bunch of devout Catholics, and it’s all for show.

For some reason I’m not going to examine* that makes me happy.

Its because of his deal with Satan. He must say really stupid things in public every once in a while otherwise he crumples into a pile of dust.

I’ve seen that with my very own eyes, very interesting. The wrath of Satan shall not be trifled with, indeed.
