Description

Black Sabbath, Slayer, Venom, Metallica, Seikima-II... Why does the devil always appear in heavy metal? Focusing on the fact that heavy metal was born and developed primarily in Protestant countries, this book explains the cultural characteristics of Christianity from the perspective of the differences between Catholicism and Protestantism. This unprecedented book goes beyond the category of popular music to discuss rock from a broad perspective, including religious history, ideology, and even politics and society.
