As a Muslim it's not within your religion to listen to music.. it's a distraction and catchy tunes stick in your head.. that's a given.
But I have to give my opinion on the satanic bit..
Basically within other religions music is a part of the faith they hold.. what they sing about is not satan.
So if you have found something that does sing about satanism, you have missed all the stuff that doesn't..
Depends on your perspective as much as the subject matter of songs.
I'm not justifying music in the slightest,
Simply making sure that you do not fall for the you vs the world mentality.
Things are hard enough as is it..
Music is as varied as writing.
I actually have not read of the punishments for it in the akhira or just how detailed the writings on music are...
Iv gone through a music phase, hopefully you will grow out of it or at least develop a better sense of taste..
Joke.
openly talks about satan and how his ‘army’ will win in the end
It's really not what I said, I believe in the end thr more importance you give your own choices.. the more important they will be.
Every battle is won and lost long before any battlefield is reached.
Transgression brings nothing but a narrative.
And your not really amongst those that are persecuted.
Dont get trolled.
...also pray more and remember Allah swt more often.
And if you speak aloud - then indeed, He knows the secret and what is [even] more hidden.
