Sorry to hear about your father Travis. It's a tough thing to go through.
For me, my big problem with satanic lyrics (speaking as someone who is religious) is not because of some insult to God (S/He is big enough to deal with that, I'm sure) but that it's dismissed as silly nonsense, where evil seems to be to be very much alive and well in the world. The lyrics often touch on rejection of any notions of collectivism / community, love, compassion etc. Why anyone, religious or not, should want to listen to constant tirades of hate I've no idea. I'm cool with songs expressing hate, just not holding it up as some overarching approach to life. This doesn't just apply to satanic music either. I wouldn't want my music to be all happy children and flowers. My favourite music tends to be dark. Just not overtly misanthropic. |

I'm sorry about your loss Travis, my condolences.
I voted the second option, as I really don't want to hear that unless it's a joke. I have a problem most with those goregrind and pornogrind bands, as it's just so utterly revolting I don't want to listen to it. Even if I don't understand the lyrics, just sometimes knowing the album cover or title makes me want to vomit. I also have an issue with overly whiny lyrics, so stuff like "Nobody loves me", "I want to kill myself", or shit like that. Although I can usually avoid those, as it's mostly whiny mainstream metalcore bands that have those types of lyrics.

The theme of someone whining about love in my metal would be risky

That would bother me too, but thankfully outside of glam metal, that doesn't appear too often.

I don't see "love" as a risky theme in rock or metal (surely, not the cheesy type as for instance Bon Jovi, but that's just terrible lyrics writing).

I don't have a problem with love lyrics in general, but I do have an issue with the cheesy love song/ballad type.
