Large ‘Heavy Metal Festivals’ take place in Germany in the summer. These festivals are really Satan worship, even though many taking part are not actually aware of it. The spiritual consequences within Germany should not be underestimated. From August 13-16 in southern Germany, the Death Metal Festival takes place. Last year there were 35,000 visitors. This year 80+ bands are performing. The style of music is Extreme Metal, Death Metal, Black Metal and Thrash Metal. The lyrics express a destructive worldview – denial of every order that relates to our existence, knowledge, values and societies – often combined with total resignation. Song themes are often about death, disease, war, torture, horror and societal abnormalities, and extend to hatred of humanity and promotion of Satanism. Please pray for the spiritual protection of dedicated Christians evangelising at these festivals with the ‘Metal Bible’ (a modern translation with many testimonies from people out of the Metal music scene- see Praise article 1)
