Satanic and Anti-Christian Motives in Forming the Ideological Core "Metallic" Music: Religious-Art Analysis

Abstract

This article deals with the analysis of the role and place of anti-Christian motive as the one of ideological core of "heavy" music, on the example of the creative heritage of several groups of American and European "metal" on the field of science of religion and the history of art criticism. It has been noted the suggestive influence of religious ideas in music caused by the ideological and cognitive characteristics of man. The motivation of a number of images of this type of music subculture as social positions and suggestive influence of mystical and sacred ideas were characterized. Analysis of the formation of anti-Christian movements in one of the most mysterious musical subculture as "heavy metal"is actual for many reasons. First of all, it is a return of interest of the young people to this musical style. Also, the presence of religious crisis and the absence of interconfessional tolerance in the modern Ukrainian societyare taken into attention. As we tried to show that the global trend of development of "metal" of anti-Christian, in many cases, ideology enriched mainly clean energy chiliastic religious, in essence, aspirations. However, we can confirm that for the most bands that play "metal" of satanic character, satanism is just a game, comfortable topic, but it doesn’t reflect their true religious stands. Probably its shows that a satanic lyric usually is common to the bands in the early stages of their development, before they find new, serious topics.
