***. Anyone that tells you the music they listened to led them to the occult is LYING to you. ***
You can't tell me these people don't exist.
I know them.
I can tell you these people don't exist, because they don't. Occult stuff in fantasy metal always leads to bad things in the song, anyone getting "inspired" by these songs isn't paying attention, which means they obviously aren't being inspired. That might be their excuse, but one of the first rules of excuse mongers is to never believe their excuse, they're just deflecting the truth. The truth is people turn to the occult because they decided to turn to the occult, the soundtrack they had before or after is immaterial.
