Most heavy metal songs are about murder and suicide, the Serbsky State Research Center for Social and Forensic Psychiatry professor Fyodor Kondratyev opines.

"Having researched 700 most popular heavy metal songs revealed that half of them is about murder, 7 percent is positive about suicide, and 35 percent preaches a variety of Satanist ideologies", Kondratyev said in his interview published in Rossiyskaya Gazeta daily on Monday.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Which is why I put it in Silly and Stupid ;-)

I've listened to metal since sometime around Death's Leprosy, Skid Row's first, Metallica's Justice... early 90'ies. Can't say for my parents though! :-D

    Whoever wrote this article clearly does not research what they write about and none of their articles should be trusted to be true. This statement, "Satanists had committed over 20 ritual murders" nullifies the entire article as it is AGAINST the rules of Satanism to kill for a reason other than food, and it is not possible for killing to be a ritual in a religion that bans it.
