Episode 011- Satan Laughing Spreads His Wings: More Horror in Music

Continuing with the horror and music theme, I'm focusing this episode on Heavy Metal music.  This hugely popular music bears the brunt of accusations of satanic imagery and messages.  Few actual crimes were influenced by heavy metal, but it became associated with satanic rituals and murders due to a "satanic panic" that gripped the nation in the 1980's.  Did the furor over the music by a "moral majority" actually fuel crimes associated with it?  I also talk about my own relationship with Metal, and how it empowered me, led to great friendships, and endless arguments with my family.   If you like the show, please consider writing a review on iTunes or Google Play.  It really helps.  Thanks a lot for listening.      You can now subscribe to the Hellbent for Horror podcast now available on iTunes, Google Play and Stitcher.   You can keep up with Hellbent for Horror on iTunes @iTunesPodcasts     iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/hellbent-for-horror/id1090978706 Google Play link: https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ibsk2i4bbprrplyvs37c6aqv2ny Stitcher link: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/hellbent-for-horror?refid=stpr   For you, the listeners of Hellbent for Horror, Audible is offering a free audiobook download with a free 30-day trial to give you the opportunity to check out their service.
