In his prequel to The Lord of the Rings - The Silmarillion - J.R.R. Tolkien tells of the evil Melkor who rebelled against his creator Eru Iluvatar and turned to the dark arts as a source of power.
Melkor is contrasted with the good god Manwe who does not suspect his rival of treachery because of his good nature.
Melkor was said to reject the goodness of his creator and embraced evil as his natural domain.
Likewise those rock stars who sell their souls to the devil study the Occult and the dark arts and use their knowledge in their music and videos.
Death, darkness, night, sleep, blindness, discord, suicide, and war are common themes.
But Satanism in rock music wears a mask.
It may appear good, idealistic, wise, or sympathetic but beneath this facade is malevolence, evil, and sabotage.
So do not take their music at face value.
Evil and death lie beneath.
