Leraj of Satan Not Hatin' speaks to me about the music campaign, to clarify what the movement is and is not and what it aims to achieve, as well as discussing the problems in the music world such as fascism which they seek to counter.
From the Satan not Hatin' website:
Satanists come from a range of eclectic backgrounds with many of us coming from the various alt music scenes – rock, metal, punk, goth, industrial and more. Our love of these scenes, along with the bands, venues and organisations that exist within them, intertwines with our Satanism, often embracing the same themes, imagery and symbolism.
Sadly, we are noticing a rise in hatred and bigotry in the music scenes we hold dear. We’ve witnessed racism, homophobia, transphobia, and other hate crimes. We’ve seen the symbols we use co-opted into messages of hate. People have been made to feel shamed and unwelcome in what were once open and inclusive communities.
No more. This is where we start to reclaim these spaces.
We have therefore relaunched the Satan Not Hatin’ campaign to combat this rise and we are thrilled to say the bands, venues and organisations on the website have enthusiastically agreed to be part of this new list of participants, with more to come.
