Does anyone recall when hard rock and heavy metal was considered satanic?

Yeah. Seems like every generation has an artist or two that gets branded with that moniker. Cooper, Ozzy, Manson. More of shock rock stuff most would say. I am not sure of any new/current popular bands getting label as satanic though. But don't follow music like I once did. I think some of those Norwegian black metal bands from the 90's might have actually been satanist or at least really committed to the portrayal as such. Some of our Drome bros from that area may know more. I just noticed your in Sweden. Much metal currently in that area?

Yes, there were satanic black and death metal band in Norway during the early-1990's. They used to burn down church-buildings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuC5WYsDDZY |

Yes, I remember when Marilyn Manson was this very controversial musician and many edgy teenagers liked his music.
h Norwegian Black Metal? Some of it is OK and I've read Lords of Chaos before. Interestign read but yeah, screw Varg Vikernes. I really admire how bands from some sub-genres of metal sing in their own language and showcase the parts of their culture/heritage they're really proud of(folk metal per example). But yes, there's also bands and fans who are kinda douchey about it and even overtly nationalistic about things. |

Being bi-lingual isn't really anything special, actually. Millions of people all over the world are bilingual or even trilingual. it's usually from England or USA think it's a feat to learn another language because they're surrounded by their language which is also the global lingua franca.

Metal was my favorite genre as a teen but I've since expanded to like pretty much everything and rarely listen to it but I"d lie if I said that metal didn't still have a soft spot from time to time. I'm a big fan of nu-metal as well regardless of what the metal community thinks of it.

You're certainly right about it being an advantage as far as social and work opportunities go. Don't get me wrong, learning a new language can be challenging, but it's definitely not the hardest skill one can develop. |

I bought the CD "come clarity" from In Flames back when it was released. Haven't listened to it in years though. But this thread is making want to dig out all my older metal CDs.

Yeah, they told us when they came onstage. I saw Avatar a few years back, who are also from Sweden, and they told us when they came onstage as well. What is it with Swedish bands and telling us they're from Sweden?

That boom has probably affected hard rock and heavy metal. |
