The Bible tells that that we should test the spirits to see whether they are from
God (1 John 4:1). Since the beginning, rock and roll has been connected to the
powers of darkness. Even the phrase rock and roll finds its origins in immorality
and perversion, which are some of Satan's favorite tools.
Take, for example, this excerpt from the magazine Ultrakill:
We've got Satan, Beelzebub, Satanial, the Serpent...and lord of misrule...But what
about the musical connection with all of this? Well even before heavy metal the Devil
took an interest in rock 'n roll. The very term rock 'n roll started life as a Black
American expression for sex. And sinful procreation has been the Devil's province for
a long, long time.i
What an admission! And this opinion that rock and Satan are old bed partners is not
exclusive to magazine journalists. The musicians themselves are all too aware of this
obvious connection. Consider these statements by David Bowie, one of the rock and
pop industry's all time heroes:
"I believe rock 'n roll is dangerous, it could very well bring about a very evil feeling in
the west...it's got to go the other way now, and that's where I see it heading, bringing
about the dark era..."
"I feel that we are only heralding something even darker than ourselves."
"Rock 'n' roll lets in lower elements and shadows that I don't think are necessary.
Rock has always been the Devil's music, you can't convince me that it isn't.ii"
In what ways can we consider rock and roll to be the devil's music?
It is clear from the results of Rock Music like distorted sexuality, distorted spirituality,
and distorted understanding of God that the rock industry is run by Satan. Remember
again the words of David Bowie:
"Rock has always been the Devil's music, you cannot convince me that it isn't."
Even though many of the statements from the pop-rock industry are often harsh and
in many ways incriminating, this article is by no means a condemnation of the individual
people that made them. The things that the music media have said are merely
coherent expressions of the institution they are a part of.
People come and go; Satan uses them like disposable trash—the same as he attempts
to use you and me—and then mercilessly discards them when they have outlived their
purpose. Jesus died for each of these people, and bears the sins of every repentant
soul. He loves every one, from Elvis to Madonna, very dearly. We ought to have the
same attitude and should present their souls to God in prayer.
Does this mean that it would be okay to go out and buy their records or listen to their
music? No, it does not. When someone or an establishment, is being used as a dedicated
instrument for Satan then, it is our duty, for our own best safety, to have nothing to do
with them (see 2 Timothy 3:1-5). But remember, this does not mean that we should not
pray for the lost.
Let us present all that we are, sinful and needy, together with the lives of these
broken people, before God for healing.
