(Sorry about my spelling, there seems to have been a glitch when I attempted to fix it).
Some metal music makes direct references to satan, some allude to it while others dont even mention it at all, however some christian groups (usually the more fundie types) like to brand all heavy metal music as "satanic".
It is clear that that some of these bands ...[text shortened]... good laugh, and possibly doing it for attention -any publicity is good publicity.
Thoughts?

Its similar to alcohol, if you know you act stupid when drunk, either take responsibility for acting stupid, or don't get drunk. Don't blame the alcohol.
you can not blame the music for your actions.
But similarly, if certain music makes you sad or angry then you may choose not to listen to it.

how could it?? it can however enhance your emotion, but not your actions.
are you saying you are easily influenced by sounds.
Indeed one does not have to look very far to see its effects on people, after all, why
do punk rockers have mohawks, because the music has influenced their life, why did
Mods buy lambrettas and wear green parkas, because music influenced their lives,
why do goths dress all in black, because music has influenced their lives. In each and
every one of these instances affiliation with a type of music leads to a particular action
as a culture is created.

I have the faith of the mustard seed, and yet I listen to AC/DC, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin all the time because they rock out. Of all things, music isn't going to send me to hell. As someone said, it's not what goes in that damns you, it's what comes out.

It wasn't the music that did this.
These people are weak. That's what does this.

sensibilities to you seems to come as a surprise, this begs the question, why do you
think that everyone is the same as you, if you do not think that, then why are you
using your conscience, which is different from mine, to assess and judge mine? stating
that a band rocks, is, in a moral context, irrelevant.
