    My name is Kaiya Pelletier and I am documenting my metal journey as I discover and listen to metal music for the first time ever. I'm in my mid 20's and I've been a singer songwriter and performer for over 10 years. Currently I live in Stillwater, Oklahoma and I am in the process of recording my 4th album. I have a Bloodhound named Spooner, I love Mexican food, collecting Stephen King novels, collecting CD's and cassettes and my favorite movies are tied between Jurassic Park and Alien.

      Anything deemed a threat to any of their man-made book faith-based reality is something to panic about. 🔭☀🌎 Anyone on the left trying to ban straight marriage? But, they're under attack!! Religious Conservatives (some even democrat like Tipper Gore) and the Christian Coalition, the original and true cancel culture woke with likes of Jesus. They don't want anyone to burn, unless its at the stake. A woman not wearing a towel on her head can still equal death in some countries.
      But I blame 3 years of Biden, Hollywood, soybois, music, and video games for all the violence and worlds problems. While offering more organized religion for the solution for world peace and unity, after 2000+ years of fighting.

    The interesting thing is that some of the nicest, kindest, sweetest and most gentle people I've ever met have been metal heads and horror fans. Yet the media of the 80s and 90s tried to convince people that these were the people to be scared of. I think now people are realizing that metal and horror are both good for relieving built up issues like anxiety, anger and depression without going out and doing violent or dangerous things. That's possibly why those genres attract people who are prone to those issues and why there have been a number of connected tragedies. No matter how good a record or a movie is, sometimes it's not enough to save someone's life. I can say from personal experience though that when I've been going through bouts of depression, heavy music and horror movies tend to help me get through it and I've spoken to several people who have similar experiences.

    I can tell you from my experience that every Metal Head was accused of being a devil worshipper during the time of the Satanic Panic. I remember being accused of devil worship in the later part of the Satanic Panic just for wearing Iron Maiden and Alice Cooper T-shirts. Funny because Alice Cooper has been a born again Christian for quite a long time.

      I understand, unfortunatly it's hard to argue your point when they won't listen because Satan is just talking through you.
      The worst time I had was in line to get inside at an Iron Maiden concert (World Slavery Tour) there was a literal bus load of bible thumpers who all had video camera's and were shouting at us, sticking cameras in our faces saying "don't go in there, son, you will go straight to hell. Stay out here with us & we'll protect you from the devil. All really rude, loud and obnoxious "Christians" there. That was just getting into the venue.
      It was the best Maiden show I've ever seen though.

      I was accused of that when I was a teen kn the 2000s. I grew up in an Arab country (Jordan), in a consecrated Christian family and attended a private Greek Orthodox Christian school all my school years
      Specifically when I was 13, I got into metal and was so happy about the cool music I found and so told a lot of my friends, classmates and relatives, only to get an insane backlash and start getting called a devil worshiper, f-word and all kinds of other slurs
      But I embraced it completely and became goth for a while (I'm still goth in my heart)

He thought Ozzy was literally gonna make me Satanist but I grew up just fine. Have grown children, I'm happily married, always held a job, own my home and I still love Metal 🤘. Overall I don't blame my Dad. He is the best Dad. He just watched to much media and followed the narrative at that time. Hell he was only in his mid 30s at the time. He was still growing up too.

I can only imagine what my parents would have thought back then if I was listening to days black or death metal back in the 80's. My parents were so afraid of Slayer and other bands I am into that they wouldn't go in my bedroom and they actually took me to a place for troubled teens and tried to have me committed. This was despite the fact that I got decent grades, went to church and always had a job. I just liked heavy metal!

    I was born in 1985, and grew up in a conservative household. I was aware of the satanic panic and heavy metal having a reputation for being "evil", and around age 12 I fully embraced it in rebellion against my bigoted and abusive father. I got a lot of satisfaction from winding up my parents. I became a goth, and dyed my hair black and wore black. I got into so much trouble for that and my dad wanted to shave my hair, but my mum stopped him. I would listen to the most extreme music I could, even though I didn't actually like some of it. I had a lot of it confiscated. Being a goth also helped against my bullies at school, because when they think I am an actual witch, kids tended to not want to mess with me as much any more.

    I’m so lucky I was a 90s kid with rocker parents. I saw the tail end and went to catholic school because that was the only private school option. I think it lasted longer in those environments. My parents listened to Ozzy, Dio, Alice Cooper, etc, and they reassured me ‘no, it’s not satanic. It’s like a watching a movie about wizards and demons and what not.’ They had their posters and albums got burned and thrown out. I could listen to what I wanted and I could play with Ouija Boards and role playing games, and I could watch movies and read books about fantasy stuff. I definitely heard from friends families and the school how many ridiculous things were ‘evil’ or ‘satanic.’ They said kid cartoons were satanic! It was crazy!

My husband and I are both metalheads, but I also love a lot of music outside of metal, and my ex/father of my oldest child is a bassist in a thrash band. With that being said, mg oldest hates metal music and calls it the dying song and will cry if you put on almost anything metal including his dad’s own band. My middle child hates metal and will get mad when my music goes from Taylor Swift to anything metal and complain it hurts her ears. My youngest seems to not mind metal though.

Got into metal by 1983 (age 10), parents accused me of being in cults and worshipping Satan and being a drug addict (I had literally never touched anything stronger than cough drops at the time) when I was in high school. Also lived in rural Upstate NY, so I was the one kid into death metal & industrial in 1987, so I had a handful of dedicated bullies, etc. Luckily I'm a relatively large guy and was able to defend myself well enough that I was eventually left alone, at least physically. I got attacked in public a couple times by the stereotype jock/preppie college guys in town a couple times as well. Y'know, all the hits. In a lot of ways, mostly involving being the weirdo in town and in my family, I had a "storybook" childhood. 😂

    Great topic, I'm glad you are covering it! My experience with the satanic panic was likely typical of the time. I grew up in the 80's and 90's in the Midwest in a small a tight-knit, very conservative christian farming community. I went to private christian school from kindergarten through high school. I remember the stories flying around about Satan worshippers sacrificing kids and the evils of rock music, and the fervor and fear that they caused. The pastor often preached about it. My parents invited the pastor over and we viewed the film "Hell's Bells" meant to scare my siblings and I away from rock and metal music. I thought these stories and the panic were ridiculous and used the aforementioned film to find more bands to listen to. My christian high school held a cd and tape burning, which I also thought was ridiculous. I DO blame my parents and other community adults for buying into this panic- the truth was out there and discoverable. There was NO evidence that any of the stories were true. Suffice it to say that I did not burn my Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax, Exodus, Motley Crue, and other rock and metal albums; I listened to them.

    Thank you for this. I'm 55 years old. I lived through this era I've always been a fan of the worst horror movies (as in sometimes those that are extreme and in other times those that are just genuinely poorly made and amusingly bad). Also a fan of shock rock and heavy metal. During the satanic panic and the attack on the day care and all that nonsense, Geraldo's show etc... I sat in constant awe and frustration at how anyone could possibly be taking this nonsense seriously to the point that I was (rightly) feeling positive even as a teen that this morality squad of adults and authority were attacking and literally destroying the lives of innocent people. Today I sometimes do little mentions of extreme bands on my channel. Recently covering some material by Abigor and Fit for an Autopsy. I state on the channel I don't take it seriously. Sure there are criminals, mentally ill and dangerous people in any scene. Ozzy for example has battled addiction and mental health issues in his life but if you read the lyrics to any black Sabbath or ozzy album it's pretty easy to figure out the guy was religious but polar opposite of Satanist. If anything he wrote little superstitious warning songs falling in line with Christian theology. It bothers me that today grouos like Q perpetuate even more extreme nonsense, again bringing harm to innocent people such as the pizza clerk that was shot by a follower over lies. Again there are maniacs yes. But it seems they are quick to recall people like murderer Varg from Burzum killing because "Satan" but nevermind guys like evangelical extremist Jim Jones responsible for a mass homicide because "Jesus". This isn't to say religion is bad. There are bad people. But looking at Burzum, at Jones, at twin towers, at Gaza right now I must admit a bit of me waxes poetic over John Lennon's "Imagine no religion". Bottom line... I wish everyone could just stop taking it all so seriously.

One of my friends and his brother were raised in a very religious household. Their mom has often gone to Africa as a missionary. Upon hearing their interest, she was quick to say no, saying D&D is an ode to witchcraft and Satan. My friend's brother and their mom went back and forth about it on our way to the mall so we could look at some D&D books. The convo quickly stopped when she threatened to ground him.

You got Alice Cooper who is very active in the Methodist Church and teaches Sunday School when he isn't touring. Dave Mustaine has gone on mission trips to third world countries and actively helps other people in music with their addictions. There are others who are devout Christians in Metal.

    Satanic Panic survivor here. Nice job summarizing that ridiculous period of time. I caught crap from both ends being a long-hared metal and a D&D nerd. "Rock shirts" were banned at both my middle and high school. My friend's Dad actually asked me why I was involved with Satanism after looking at the back of an Iron Maiden t-shirt I was wearing. I thought the mother of another friend was going to have an annerism after I mentioned were going to play some D&D while having a backyard camp out. I turned out just fine. Had a 22 year career in the military, raised a family, and coincidentally grew my hair out again while playing guitar in a metal band. So glad that idiocy has passed.

    The Satanic panic thing was a load of horseshit. It did nothing but show just how ignorant and how clueless all those people who were against heavy-metal were and pretty much anything in pop-culture. And also when they even accuse bands like Ozzy Osbourne and even Judas Priest for hiding subliminal messages in their songs telling teenagers to kill themselves. Yeah that’s just them blaming and pointing the finger instead of taking responsibility for being shitty parents. That was there way of not being able to take responsibility for being crappy parents. Like oh gee I don’t know probably because they were not giving their kids barely any attention and that could probably explain why they killed themselves. Just looking for any reason to blame the music just because their kids listened to it.

      They also equated metal with drugs and crime. I have always been staunchly opposed to drugs, and I was not very keen on tobacco and alcohol, either, so it really pissed me off when people accused me of anything related to drugs, or criminal activity (juvenile delinquency) - of which I had NO criminal history or record, save for one or two minor "five-finger-discount" episodes when I was no older than 13 (well before I even discovered metal), all based on nothing but my metal interests.
      The ignorance and prejudice of the time was quite remarkable, and not in any good way.

    Fortunately for me, the worst I experienced was just utter annoyance and nuisance of censorship and perpetuated hysteria by the "moral majority" decrying the "wickedness" of everything rock or metal.
    The only thing I could possibly add is a wee trivial detail, regarding that medical bill Iron Maiden producer Martin Birch received ; the actual total was £666... and 66p - but then, what's loose change worth, right? LOL

    Girl, Bravo! I grew up in all of this, watching skeptically due to so many chopped, crappy vids. But this is the best, most in depth video I have ever seen. You covered so much of the high points that I cannot even give you any grand points you left out. I am still a metalhead, always will be. What's funny is, if you look around, metal is not the driving force of satanic tones anymore, it's pop music, Hollywierd (it's always been Hollywood first with Satanism. Did you know that the choice wood that magic wands were made of Holly trees?) and the CIA, FBI and politicians driving it nowadays. I look back and see 80s metal as warning us what to watch out for. Anyways, you did a wonderful job on this video. Thank you for this, I will definitely share, watch again and continue to view more of your product.

I feel this is not nessisary to tap into dark energy or subconscious entities. Heaven, Hell, entities, spirits etc are all subconscious in my opinion. I wish there was a hell I would go there so I could see all the evil nasty people suffer for all eternity, this includes murderers, violent offenders, pedophilies and gangstars, bullies etc. Your very bold putting this up into the open.

    If you tell someone they are going to hear something, they will hear that something. You have to test things like that without priming the person about what they should hear.

      While backmasking can be intentional, the majority of it is coincidence. There is a lot of gibberish, and you don't hear them crying about the coincidental positive messages. You are correct with the concept of priming. It doesn't have to actually say what it is, only sound similar. You can suggest what it says to someone then they will hear it as you suggest. It's hard to unhear it even with a trained ear.

    I discovered Metallica in 87. No one told me about them I was just scanning through cassettes at Target and thought damn these dudes look tough. It was the original Garage Days. So I took it home and would go to my next-door neighbors whose son had left for the Marines and would lift his weights out in their garage and listen to that cassette. Fast forward a couple years later and now I have Ride the Lightning album and killem all and Master of Puppets. I'm now working at a grocery store so I would come home many days around 11:00 or midnight go to sleep get up and go to high school the next day and when I had a day off I would come home and put on one of my cassettes and crash hard because I've been working all week and because I got into this routine of sleeping with my Metallica music my mother jumped to conclusions and thought I was doing drugs even though I explained to her I was wore out from doing school and working till midnight.

    This brings back so many memories. I remember that certain special came out before I'd really been introduced to heavy metal. My parents bought in but, fortunately, not far enough that I couldn't get into glam metal in the next few years. Really, the whole Satanic image and the panic surrounding it made the music more fun for those to whom it was marketed. And some of the band were Satanic (King Diamond and Deicide come to mind) which made them just flat out excited to metal fans. I was introduced to bands like Obituary, Napalm Death (who are anarchists), and Deicide in the early 90s. I still remember a song from Death (the metal band, not the punk band, but the punk band is even more awesome) that said, "I'm board". I remember staying up at night listening to it in like 14 years old thinking it was the coolest song ever. My not-friends in school where disgusted when I told them about band names like Morbid Angel. I think Deicide has to be my favorite death metal band as well.
    There is one element that you did not address that I think you should have, and that is the element of antisemitism woven into the Satanic Panic. Ever hear of the Greenbaums or maybe it was the Greenbergs? It was some horseshit conspiracy theory about a couple that supposedly worshipped Satan.
    The Satanic Pagan still rages on, but not it's not so focused on D&D and heavy metal, it's moved onto transgender people and drag queens existing. It's the shame shit but with a differen wrapper. The Qanon conspiracy theorists, which you illuded to, lean hard into the Satanic Panic stuff about elites using children in Statanic rituals to extract adrinachrome or some such thing.
    Great video. I subscribed. There are weirdly specific facets of the Satanic Panic too,. Ever watch "Turmoil in the Toybox"? Toys, games, metal, politics... All of these things have their own rich stories w/in the context of the Satanic Panic. Great job. Keep the good videos coming.

I went to so many concerts I can't remember them all. Ozzy/Metallica/Megadeth/KISS/Plasmatics/Poison/Iron Maiden/and on and on. I've probably been to 200 major shows and a ton at local smaller places. Fake IDs were easy to get and were accepted, it was like Disneyland and I went on every ride. Slept with a ton of women, usually a lot older than me, and just had a blast. I wouldn't trade those years for anything.

    I personally grew up during the "Satanic panic," having turned 14 in 1980. It was during this time that I began to listen to rock music, which having grown up in a religious home, my father did NOT appreciate my kind of music, which BTW wasn't death metal but groups such as Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath (ALL of which I STILL love to this day!). I also read the Satanic bible out of curiosity more than anything else, and experimented with a 'Ouija board, ' omg!! Needless to say, my father did NOT appreciate any of this and he personally broke my rock albums and Ouija board!! That'll show me! Nope!! That caused me to rebel all the more!! So, in a weird way I can identify with those who were wrongly accused of being 'satanists!' And all along my father had been 'physically abusing ' my mother whom I protected as much as I able to.
