I think the moral crusaders gave up about 25 years ago. All of these black, death, and stoner metal variants started coming out and no one seemed to care enough to start public campaigns to try to ban it.

The moral crusaders are still with us. They're just on Twitter rather than the PTA or the church board.

The stories of the moral crusaders is so funny... at some point Rob Halford (Judas Priest vocals) was asked to sing in court because some crazy people argued that his discs had subliminal messages telling their fans to kill themselves.

And nowadays we've got stuff like Children of Bodom (RIP Alexi) and others that are pretty in your face.

Monsters from the past would have a stroke if they listened to these bands.

Btw: A thread about metal in HN? I Love it \m/

My personal favorite Electric Wizard track has always been "Legalise Drugs & Murder." They have never been accused of being subtle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zNG63rf9LQ
