Black Sabbath Lucifer Rising - The Story of Satanism in Heavy Metal! (Documentary)

Note: Yes, I also grow up with Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Kiss, Dio, Judas Priest, Scorpions, AC/DC, Van Halen, Alice Cooper, Metallica etc.... That probally also why I say and write FUCK a lot today :)

A group of Satanists even invited Black Sabbath to play a show at the coveted StoneHenge to which the group refused.

The very name, Black Sabbath, can easily denote links with the occult or at least an attempt to oppose traditional religion.

The word Sabbath is by definition, "a day of religious observance”.

It is a day dedicated to practising faith and worshipping whatever god you believe in.

You also have the witches sabbath, said to be a day for Witches to gather in order to practise witchcraft and other rituals.

So based on the name alone, this could have given Satanists the idea that Black Sabbath were indeed practising some sort of Witchcraft or Satanism.

The band, though, say the name is far more innocent, taken from the Mario Bava 1965 film called Black Sabbath where a Russian count encounters a family trying to destroy a line of vampires.

Which, back then, would still seem like a very dark and supernatural concept.

So combine this with the actual music of Black Sabbath and it’s easy to see why at the time the group attracted people that practised the occult and Satanism.
