I wish to receive this answer from here.
If satanism than I will never been into gothic metal.
 
It depends on the band/artist. You have to look at a band’s lyrics to know. For example, Lacuna Coil is a goth metal band and they don’t have Satanic lyrics. They’re one of my favorite bands. 🙂 There is a lot of stuff out there that’s not appropriate for a christian to listen to, like Seraphim Shock and Marilyn Manson.

Is this satanism or not? I was recommend this music video to women.
But music video was not show me this symbol.

Looks like Assassin’s Creed.
 
No, I don’t think it’s satanic at all. I looked up the lyrics and they’re harmless.
 
Than is this sort of freemasonry? They hide this symbol.

Just because a band mentions something biblical, or mentions the devil, does NOT mean they’re satanic. Just look at
Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast :Great album NOT Satanic.

Slayer’s Angel of Death - Great song, NOT satanic (it’s about the horros of Auschwitz)

So it’s all about context.
 
I have seen the eye in the pyramid on the wall of Catholic Churches. I just saw one last week and took a picture because as you said most associate it with Freemasonry but that’s not the exclusive use.

For that matter, I’ve seen the upside-down cross in Catholic Churches because it is St. Peter’s Cross. One church with it on the stained glass windows has had to explain that in its bulletin because parishioners thought it was Satanic. The Dio “horns” sign also has various meanings depending on who you ask.

My advice is, if you’re going to listen to metal, look at the overall theme and message of the band and don’t glom onto a particular symbol or image that they throw in half the time because it looked cool and no other reason.
 
I posted a similar question recently.
Basically the conclusion I reached is “would Our Lady play this music for the child Jesus?” If yes then there’s no harm, if no then maybe find something better to listen to.
 
So you would never watch an R rated movie or listen to any song with explicit lyrics ever?

Not if I want to cultivate a delicate conscience that would prefer death rather than to commit the smallest deliberate venial sin.

This is not to say that R rated movies or explicit language are sinful or bad in and of themselves, I’m just pointing to what they cultivate. What kind of conscience do they nurture…
