Definitely not, I'm not a religious person at all. I'm a lifelong atheist and proud. The devil is non-exinsistant and therefore it's not devil music. Sure yeah bands project the Satanic image and stuff to shock and crap. But uh yeah metal is just music and that's it. You're not gonna go to hell for listening to it and there's no big man up in the sky watching over you or any of that.
