Look up their lyrics and find out. Even if you can’t understand them, it doesn’t mean what they are screaming about isn’t harmful to listen to.

It is called Black Veil Brides (not Blank). They are just secular, not much enjoyable.

Why not listen to August Burns Red, As I Lay Dying, Demon Hunter, The Devil Wears Prada, For Today, Haste the Day, Underoath, War of Ages (part of my playlist)? You can listen to their music with no worries of what the lyrics say, they are no satanic lyrics in the bands I mentioned. 👍

Personally, I judge whether the artists in the band (or simply the band) have something or nothing to do with satanic music (or vulgar) or work with another band that is satanic or vulgar , and then I judge the band by their lyrics. The music can be all good, but if the artist is leading a public immoral life, I won’t bother listen to their music.

For Today is pretty good…I saw them a while back, opening for As I Lay Dying and The Devil Wears Prada.
Speaking of them…they are broken up now. The singer is in prison for hiring a hit-man to take out his ex-wife! Too bad, too…they were a great band.

Trivium is my favorite.

Also, check out After the Burial!

METAL!!!

Yeah. There is always Christian Metalcore (like August Burns Red and War of Ages), Christian Death Metal (like Antestor), Christian Deathcore (like Impending Doom), and Christian Symphonic Metal (like HB) besides all the Christian Metal there is. It is something I have limited myself from listen out loud to just earphones now that I got married, because husband doesn’t like it and it is not good for the baby (based on Music Therapy facts). 😃
 
I saw your question on the apologetics section.

Anyway, I’m not an apologist, but as a former avid listener of metal I feel I can give you my two cents on the subject. Mind you, I’ve never heard of the bands you just mentioned. They’re fairly new, I imagine. I used to listen to classic heavy metal and hard rock, and gradually shifted towards thrash, speed, and later on even some black and death metal.

What I would say to you is that while not all metal bands are (openly) satanic, the aesthetics of the genre are intimately intertwined with the diabolical. The subject matters they deal with, the attitudes they encourage in their listener base and the philosophy they preach is more often than not, overtly or covertly, satanic.

Also, a lot of the musicians are quite dishonest about this subject (of course members of a sinister cult are going to lie about it, especially since the truth would cost them album sales). Many bands that I listened to in high school and I could have vouched had nothing to do with satanism, I found out later, were actually involved, to different degrees, in some sort of occult practices. Some of the lyrics or imagery that didn’t make much sense to me then, frighten me now.

Even from a purely secular standpoint, listening to metal is detrimental. It brings you into contact with a rotten crowd of a very debauched subculture. Self-destructive behavior is actively encouraged - heavy drinking, smoking and promiscuity are the norm. It teaches people who are already temperamentally predisposed to being a little bit more sullen or morose that being depressed or angsty is something to be cultivated rather than fought against. It encourages recklessness and poor impulse control. Every vice is touted as a virtue, and viceversa.

Of course, for most people it’s quite simply a phase that they grow out of after adolescence, and they clean up quite nicely: most of my metalhead high school friends are now yuppies with well-paid jobs. Those who hit rock bottom, though, hit it hard and never fully recover.

In summation, it’s not a lifestyle I would recommend, and if you were my family I would try to discourage you from listening to metal.

This is why I don’t recommend secular “metal” bands. If the secular don’t worship Satan in their lyrics, they worship and promulgate sex, money, fame, hate, suicide, drinking, smoking, and so on. And by the way, Black Metal is openly satanic or anti-Christian. And by the way, what you say can be applied to Pop music, Techno, etc, not just Metal.

If the person likes these kind of vocals and sounds, I say just go for the Christians ones and forget about the secular.

I agree with this being just a phase in life. And if the person is not willing to change nor is open to other good things, the person will be stuck in this phase. The wardrobe of these teenage people are mostly black and will continue to be black until they decide to break the habit or decide to stop dressing just to catch other’s attention. I have seen people who are stuck in this phase until they are almost 40 years old. And with music is the same, they don’t care of the lyrics as long as it sounds “good” to their ears.

Stick to the Christians ones (which there are many!) and forget about the secular ones. But I must recommend Trans-Siberian Orchestra for Christmas songs.
 
Tom Araya (singer/bassist) of SLAYER is actually Catholic.

Thus you can’t judge a book by it’s cover.

Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth - the big 4. Metal!!
