Call me old fashioned but, I prefer my "devil music" devilish and my sacred music sacred. I remember when 2nd wave Brit Punk (Crass, GBH, Discharge etc) and Motorhead had an American bastard called Thrash. I liked the fast tempo and the loud distorted guitars but, I thought the lyrics were silly hype for spotty teens who couldn't get a girlfriend. I was in my early 20's so perhaps I could see it for what it was and those musicians have admitted that it was just nonsense.
Nonsense that led to record burnings and TV shootings in fundamentalist church parking lots. True dat, my uncle took their 700lb RCA 27" color console TV behind their church and blasted it with his 1911. It became a "thing" around here, a sign of ones devotion. Within a month, Uncle Larry had a newer better TV because he couldn't live without NASCAR.
I love my people.

Y'all don't know him, he ain't famous or nothing, he's just a guy who has Pillsbury dough boy dolls decorating the roof rack of his Subie.
"Dang Chris, your dough boys are awesome" said Mr Iain wishing he had thunk it first.
"I'm telling you man, they ain't 'ary a deer run into her since I put'em on there" related Chris about his faith in the hoodoo.
"Dude, you are a bone fide artistic genius, I tell you what"*
* pretty much what was said, it's been 10 years at least.
