Is it okay to listen to Perturbator and Carpenter Brut?

[ZIRAXES]

Considering the fact that they are satanists ( correct me if I'm wrong) , is it okay to listen to their music? To enjoy it? I am an orthodox christian.

[ComradePreacher]

It's basically like what they previously mentioned with the 80s style and throwback references to the paranoria of satanism and christian heavy faith. I listen to them very damn often and find it very thrilling when playing action games.
So far I have yet become incredibly edgy believing in satanism and bloody and gory rituals and other gimmicks they've made up, I'm more of an Lovecraft dude than satanic fanboy.

I believe the music is more negative towards religion than encouraging it at all, in the lyrics. Carpenter Brut's a bit more whacky and more wild into that theme while Perturbator does a mix of it but more into sci-fi such as cyberpunk and android romances and the future with religion becoming radical.

If you're heavy to your faith I think it will show negative views on both Christianity and Satanism, but if you look aside these odd aeshethics, you could just enjoy the music (except a very few of the lyric songs that's about the theme) It's very much okay just like the edgy rock or metal bands in the 70s-80s that were WAY more edgy and used satan as a huge image aswell being the trend of rebel youth.

Just listen whatever you like, don't let anyone influence what you think your ears enjoy the most.

You don't have to follow the same religion or have the same morals to like what someone else has created.

Imma keep it real wit yah Cheif, No.
.
But in all seriousness I'm an Orthodox Christian as well and I just recently discovered their music, at first I didn't notice the Satanic symbolism but once I did I decided to stop listening to his music all together, doesn't matter if the musics good, the man who made it and literally right in the cover art, it worships Satan and insults the word of Jesus; so no, i'd advice you stop listening to it if you are a dedicated Christian. (I know this is an old discussion but when I found it looking up Carpenter Brut on Google I just had to throw in my genuine 2 cents)

Nah. If you enjoy their music, It doesnt matter what their life is like outside of that. But I'm an atheist. so I can't really get a perspective of what you think about it.

I don't think it matters what their like outside of the music they make. If you enjoy it, why would it matter?

I say listen if you like the sounds but be aware that these songs were made in celebration of Lucifer and his doctrines. Perturbator and Carpenter Brut are heavily involved in the Satanic lifestyle and push his anti-God imagery in every place it will fit. It's like being prepared for a fight, If you had to fight in the UFC you'd watch tons of videos on your opponent just to be prepared. Listen but be aware of what it was made to do.

I know this is old but look at it this way. They might worship Satan but your listening to the music not their prayers. If their music was talking about how great Satan was that would be diffrent but its not its just electronic music.

[Crestfall]

You can close your eyes while listening so you can avoid the satan imagery altogether.

I was having the same question myself and found this: http://www.retro-synthwave.com/music/retro-interviews/carpenter-brut-interview



Before, I used to listen to bands like Cradle Of Filth, Immortal, Dimmu Borgir or even Deicide who really achieved the satanic spirit with their album ‘Once Upon the Cross’. You said ‘I found the goat and the upside down cross very cool without wanting to leave a message’. Dumb question, but aren’t you afraid of any freaky costumer who would lodge a complaint against the store because he would’ve brought your compilation thinking it was a Black/Death Metal record? Do you think you’ll keep this artistic identity even if your music has nothing to do with satanism?

I think it’s rather unusual today to buy an album randomly without listening to it before. If on top of that you buy an album just because the cover is « cool », I bet you’re more a fashion victim who buys Metallica shirts at H&M than a true music lover. The inverted cross is a reference to Justice’s cross. By using this cross and a very metal imagery, I choose to remain in a universe that I am familiar with and avoid the usual synthwave clichés (grids, neon light typos…).

I wanted to mix two worlds that looked antagonist on the paper. Same goes for Carpenter Brut’s music.

[JelliedKnife]

Fellow Christian here. (not sure if Orthodox, but I am baptist)
I also find satanist imagry in my music videos to be somewhat uncomfortable for me, but as long as you like the music, and not the mindset, you should be good as far as I see.

[Mingy Spaff]

Its just music. Me listening to Toby Keith doesnt make me a christian just as you listening to Perturbator doesnt make you a satanist. Religion is stupid and people should enjoy what they enjoy without being afraid of it being "sinful"

[Hyer Womba]

if you listen to satanic music jesus will nail himself to a cross again and start crying.
