Rock Music And Satanism
By David J. Stewart
“Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols (musical instruments). But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.” —Amos 5:23,24
If you had any questions about whether Rock 'N' Roll music praises Satan, you won't after reading this needful article. So many people fail to realize just how evil and devilish Rock music is; and sadly, many people DO know and couldn't care less, because their hearts are desperately wicked as the Bible says. Jeremiah 17:9, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”
Revelation 13:2-4
Here's some food for thought. I think it's very interesting. Notice in the song by The Eagles, HOTEL CALIFORNIA that the lyrics mention that they stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the Beast. Now read what the Bible says concerning the Antichrist, the Beast, in Revelation 13:2-4 . . .
Revelation 13:2-4, “And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?”
The Antichrist will be wounded, almost to death, but will survive. This is exactly what The Eagles' are singing in their song. Coincidence? I think not. There is no denying that the “Beast” is the Antichrist according to Revelation 13:2, unto whom the Dragon, the Devil, will give him POWER, a SEAT and great AUTHORITY.
Notice in Revelation 13:4 that the masses of the earth will worship the BEAST (Antichrist) and the DRAGON (Satan). This has already been happening for decades. Satan is worshipped at every rock concert. That's what rock concerts are!
The group KISS, with demonic lead singer Gene Simmons, leap on stage as Rock 'N' Roll demons... puking blood, breathing fire and screaming... “God of rock 'n roll, we'll steal your virgin soul.” In their song “God of Thunder,” they command young people to kneel before Satan:
GOD OF THUNDER
“I was raised by the demons, Trained to reign as the one,
God of thunder and rock and roll, The spell you're under,
Will slowly rob you of your virgin soulI'm lord of the wasteland, a modern day man of steel
I gather darkness to please me and I COMMAND YOU TO KNEEL
Before, The God of thunder, the god of rock 'n roll
I'LL STEAL YOUR VIRGIN SOUL!”These lyrics to the GOD OF THUNDER song are so offensive that the CD Universe website has blocked out the lyrics as a hidden track. It is sickening that Gene Simmons is paid millions-of-dollars for his disgusting life to be featured on cable TV in a show called, FAMILY JEWELS.
Witchcraft In Music
One of the lead singers of the super popular band JEFFERSON STARSHIP, Grace Slick, released her own solo album in 1980 titled “DREAMS,” featuring the hit satanic song, “El Diablo.” Stevie Nicks of the band FLEETWOOD MACK has been called “The White Witch,” and Grace Slick of JEFFERSON STARSHIP, “THE DARK WITCH.” El Diablo is the Spanish word for “DEVIL”! In this song Grace Slick sings the lyrics . . .
El Diablo I can feel your power in my soul
Dancing like your puppet though I try to break your hold
Half succeeding still I find I’m healing quickly
You’ll not trick me one more timeThe preceding lyrics to the unlearned reader may seem like Grace Slick is saying that she doesn't want to be controlled and deceived by Satan, but the song is actually singing high praises to Lucifer's ability to DECEIVE people (2nd Corinthians 11:13-15). In the song “Dreams” on the same album, Miss Slick sings the dark witchcraft lyrics...
My dreams my dreams
Well I, I believe in magic and I believe in dreams
I said I, I believe in magic and I, I believe in dreams
I believe in dreams
I said I, I believe in magic, I believe in dreams
I believe in dreams, magic, magical dreams
I wanted to sing that I believe in dreams
Magical dreams, oh I believe in dreams
I said I, I believe in magic, I still believe in dreamsFew people are aware that most of Elton John's songs were written by a Warlock (a male witch), named Bernie Taupin. Even Brian Wilson, lead singer of the All-American west-coast hit band, THE BEACH BOYS, admitted in an interview that they were trying to make “WITCHCRAFT MUSIC” in the 1960's while experimenting with the mind-altering psychedelic drug LSD. Three of the four members of the legendary band, THE BEATLES, have publicly admitted to using the drug LSD. Jim Morrison of THE DOORS and his wife, Patricia Kennealy were both witches.
Worship Of The Beast
Just as Revelation 13:4 foretold that the world would worship the BEAST and the DRAGON, we are witnessing this in society today. Satan is openly worshipped in Marilyn Manson concerts, who's still touring around the world as of 2010...
“Manson, began burning Holy Bibles in his concerts, and giving 'alter calls' for Satan, by encouraging kids to reject Jesus Christ, and accept Satan into their hearts and minds, as well as accepting Manson as the Antichrist. He tells them to chant in unison, F#ck the Holy Spirit and F#ck Jesus Christ.”

The Beast and the Dragon are already being worshipped. Tragically, Marilyn Manson's band of the same name has sold 11,000,000 albums just in the United States. In the U.S. alone, three of the band's albums have been awarded platinum certification, three more gold, and the band has had three releases debut in the top ten, including two number-one albums.

One of the major underlying themes of Rock music is deliberate sin and rebellion. In her evil song, “I'M A SINNER,” MADONNA sings...
I'M A SINNER
Like the sun, like the light, like the flame
Like the storm I burn through everything
Like a bomb in the night, Like a train
Thunder rings through the hills, Let it rain
Ah, ooo-woo-ooo-hooo
Ah, woo-oo-hoo-hoo
I'm a sinner, I like it that way
Ah, ooo-woo-ooo-hooo
Ah, woo-oo-hoo-hoo
I'm a sinner, I like it that way
All the boys, all the boys and girls
Wanna be like us tonight
All the boys, all the boys and girls
Have the magic pass tonight (?)
I'm a sinner, I'm a sinner,
I'm a sinner, I like it that way
I'm a sinner, I'm a sinner,
I'm a sinner, I like it that way...Mick Jagger of the ROLLING STONES rock band likewise sings the lyrics, “You'll never make a saint of me.” The shameful duo Selena Gomez and Katy Perry sing the blasphemous lyrics to the song, “Rock God”...
ROCK GOD
Preacher man took my hand and looked in my eyes
He said, hey girl can't you leave and I cried
Father things aren't always so black and white
Don't cast the first stone cause I'm not alone
And it's not like I'm hurting anyone
But I can't confess my rock, my rock and roll waysThe Bible proclaims that everyone who worshipped the BEAST will be cast into the depths of Hell, and the smoke of their torment will ascend up out of the bottomless pit...
Revelation 14:11, “And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.”
God is greatly to be feared by those who rebel against Him. Hebrews 10:27, “But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries ... It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” By the fear of the Lord, men depart from evil. Proverb 16:6, “By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.” Amen!
The insane rock band, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, sings praise to the god of this world in their unholy song, “D-DEVIL”...
D-DEVIL
Take me down there,
Photographic relapse,
People feeding frenzy,
The devil is so lovely,
Take me down there,
Photographic relapse,
People feeding frenzy,
The devil is so lovely. ...Ozzy Osborne and his fans openly worship the BEAST...
As a solo artist, Osbourne has sold more than 35 million records worldwide, bringing his cumulative sales to more than 60 million albums. Osbourne is currently visible on the smash MTV series “The Osbournes,” a melding of reality show, soap opera, and sitcom that follows the lives of Ozzy and his family. It recently became the highest rated original program in MTV's 24-year history.[2]
Ozzy Osbourne is infamous for biting the head off a live dove (and also a bat), dressing up like a woman, substance abuse, desecrating the Alamo in Texas by urinating on it, blaspheming Jesus Christ repeatedly, et cetera. Every one of Ozzy's album covers from the year 2000 until present feature Pan on the album cover...
1986
"The Ultimate Sin" album is released. Once again, Ozzy ran into trouble with the looks of his album cover. The original cover had 3 crucifixes atop a hill in the background and the girl had no pants on.
Ozzy had actually written a whole album before the 'Ultimate Sin,' but scrapped the whole thing and started from scratch because he wasn't happy with it. The album hit hit #8 in the U.K. and #6 in the U.S., and eventually went double platinum.

OZZY OSBOURNE BIOGRAPHY
A girl with no pants on in front of 3-crosses? This is the sick mind of Ozzy Osbourne! Yet, millions of Americans idolize Ozzy and have made him filthy rich from buying his works of darkness. Americans are mentally-ill to support such bizarre, demonic and crazy entertainers. As another tribute to the perverted Pagan god of Pan, the movie Pan's Labyrinth has become extremely popular, even being recommend by ChristianityToday and receiving 4-stars from them, go figure. They should rename their organization to ApostasyToday! It doesn't come as a surprise that apostate Billy Graham is the founder of ChristianityToday.
Rock 'N' Roll is all about blasphemy against the holy God of the Bible—promoting substance abuse, Satanism, insanity, fornication, suicide, freakishness, Communism, witchcraft, occultism, hatred and homosexuality. JUDAS PRIEST is a heavy-metal nightmare Rock band, dressing up in black-leather with chains and spikes, looking and behaving as homosexuals on-and-off stage. The lead singer dresses up in a decorative priest's robe and actually worships Satan in their concerts, in particular, the song “NOSTRADAMUS.” In their popular song, “DEAL WITH THE DEVIL,” which millions of fans sing along with, JUDAS PRIEST sings the lyrics...
DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
We built our world of metal
Watched it grow
Fuelled the fury solid to the bone
Gotta deal with the devil
'cause you know that it's real
Done a deal with the devil
From a heart made of steel
Rollin' down the m-way
Took it to the smoke
Bangin' heads there
'til we all went broke
When we don the leather, and the whips and chains
Nothing matters more
We can't be tamed
Did you read that... “DONE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL.” Please watch the video sermon by Pastor Danny Castle, THEY SOLD THEIR SOUL. Also, watch ROCKUMENTARY by Pastor Luke Lefebvre. 1st Kings 21:20, “And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.” EVERY famous rock band SELLS THEIR SOUL to become world famous.
The bands who still aren't inducted into the Rock Hall Of Fame 40 years later is because they failed to promote Satan as much as they could have in the eyes of the cult members who own and control the entire music and entertainment industries. Heavy-metal albums are considered offerings to Satan, and the fans are the sacrificial lambs. I first learned this from hearing Dave Mustaine of MEGADETH refer to his album as “an offering.” Of course, MEGADETH is notoriously Satanic in origin, rubbing shoulders with VENOM and SLAYER. I sincerely believe that mega-famous Rock singers make a dirty-deal with the Devil, which cannot be broken on pain of death, being sued, or being framed and/or blackmailed and sent to prison, totally ruined. You don't go back on an occult-deal that elevates you to superstar status.
There's a price to pay in Satan's game. Sin ALWAYS has an enormous price tag, which will cost you dearly. Sin always takes you farther than you planned to go, costs you more than you wanted to pay, and keeps you longer than you intended to stay. Serving God has a price-tag too, but the Lord has PROMISED to repay us bountifully with happiness and eternal blessings. Serving God is so much better than serving the Devil.
I was thinking about JUDAS PRIEST the other day and how they travel around the world, performing their works of darkness for millions of fans. That's the works of their mind, heart and hands. I then thought about my online ministry and how many people have been saved by faith in Christ Jesus, and how many lives have been turned toward God and have woken up to the truth about so many issues. I thank God that I'm labouring for the Lord's cause, preaching the righteousness of Christ and His precious blood, by which men's sins are washed away. What is JUDAS PRIEST accomplishing with their lives? They're leading people away from God and into all manner of wickedness and sin. But we as Christians are on a bright path which leads to life through the cross of Jesus. Jesus died, was buried and rose up from the dead. That's the gospel message! Believe it, make it your hope for Heaven, receive the gospel as full-payment for your sins and you will be saved.
This world is the only Hell a Christian will ever suffer, and it's the only Heaven the Christ-rejecting wicked will ever enjoy.
Anything that influences people for Satan is demonism. So I don't look for demons and red-tailed devils, Satan comes to us the Bible says with false teachings, sensual entertainers and the counsel of the ungodly. Sin City Las Vegas is demon city. Woe unto the wicked! I eagerly await the time when Jesus Christ will reign triumphantly from Jerusalem during the Millennium Period as King over the whole earth, and what a time of peace and righteousness that will be! Good bye Las Vegas! Good bye Mardi Gras! Good bye Hollywood! Good bye Broadway! Good bye Rock 'N' Roll! Amen!
Acts 28:18, “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.”
