singedsunI really enjoyed this video from Vox about the history of the devil in Heavy Metal.
In my New Music Friday posts, I don't post a lot of rock/metal music but it's the majority of what I listen to on my own time and the concerts I go to most often. (I LOVE a concert and go to a dozen or more a year.)
When I was in college, I did a big paper on the PMRC and the Parental Advisory fight and as a kid who'd grown up in a strict Baptist church, it made me so angry. I feel like this video is a really comprehensive view of the history of the genre. I could talk about music and specifically rock and metal music FOREVER. There's such a fascinating history there. But also, as someone who loves the genre, I've got nothing but love for the community of heavy metal music lovers.
