Episode 17 – Stairway to Hell

We sell our souls for rock and roll (and blues, and jazz, and classical music, and pop, and hip hop) in this episode! Simone, Daniel, Tabitha, and Gregg discuss the devil’s influence on popular music. Are there any actual Satanic bands, or are artists just influenced by how damn cool Satan is – and did any band ever really put a hidden Satanic message in their songs? Plus, we talk about The Satanic Temple – Arizona’s lawsuit against the city of Scottsdale, Simone misquotes The Simpsons, and we wonder how Al Gore got hip all of a sudden.

Praise, condemnation, questions, and musicians we shamefully missed can be sent to blackmassappealpod@gmail.com.
