Kung may "Christian Guitarists thread", dapat meron ding "Anti-Christian Guitarists Thread".
First off, I am not here to spill some "Christianity vs. other religions" or invite any arguments like so. We're here to talk about Guitarplayers who are known for their work in Occult or even satanic music. Chill guys, it's just music.
Anyway, I'll start off.
I used to think Metallica was satanic, so was Slayer. I loved the riffs of Het and the leads of Kirk in the late 80s and early 90s (when I listened to their old stuff.) It was aggressive, and when I heard Slayer, I said that was a nosebleed for people like me who had no knowledge about guitar. Kerry and Jeff were like doing turkey-fight solos and it was something fresh to my ears.
As time passed, in '92, I heard heavier bands like Pantera (not at all antichrist or occult) and listened to something quite 'new' at the time- death metal. I heard these obscure bands from the Earache and Nuclear Blast labels such as Benediction, Disharmonic Orchestra, Cadaver, etc. The guitarsounds were so BAD (in a negative way) so it looked like the vocals were way too over-the-top.
Eventually I had a yearning for more evil stuff like Sepultura (again not real antichristian music) and eventually got into some Black metal. Burzam, Emperor, Gorgoroth, Behemoth... yeah.
