Satanist Murders Black Metal Vocalist Because He Wasn't Really A Satanist
Re: Satanist Murders Black Metal Vocalist Because He Wasn't Really A Satanist
As a black metal fan and musician, this angers me quite a bit. He's just a musician, by the gods! Let him make his music. Too late now of course, but shouldn't that guy know there's 879302 different versions of Satanism? (Sarcastically huge number) I know black metal's dark history, so it's not a shock to me that x person killed y person because something vaguely related to black metal. But killing someone is still killing someone.
Shouldn't this headline be: Crazy guy kills other guy because he's crazy?
The Satan aspect is sort of beside the point.
That was my thought, too.
Then I remembered that "crazy" doesn't really sensationalize a story like "Satanist" would. People read the headline and expect to see pictures of blurred entrails. Crazy? Nobody seems to expect entrail-eating out of crazy people, for some reason. But, hey, 'you never know about them evil Satanists, what with their horrifying black masses, dead babies and grave-robbing.'

Oh, no, not at all. I didn't mean to infer that. My mistake.
I simply meant the loony idiot, the so-called fan, using Satanism as an excuse to kill. It wouldn't be anywhere near the same level of sensationalism if they just said "crazy man kills singer of Black Metal band". No, they have to make the story "sell better". Which annoys me to no end.

Well, since Satanists don't as a general rule kill people at all, I'm pretty sure he was confused.
