Does “Master of the Puppets” make Metallica satanic?
Question by FlashOfBlade(Dime Bros): Does “Master of the Puppets” make Metallica satanic?
The song, not the album
The only reason that I thought that it thought it was satanic is because I thought that he was referring to the satan by singing “Master, Master”, I didn’t think of it as being drugs. Thank you’ll for explaining it. And BTW I love metal, and just a metal song can’t be considered satanic, its has to be more then that.

nope the song is about people who are controlled by drugs dude, how the drugs take over their body and make them suffer like in hell.
no
The song has no connection to satanism whatsoever. The song is about drugs but the reason some people believe that it’s satanic is because James Hetfield wanted to make the song as evil sounding as he could in order to express his hatred of his drug addictions.
That song is not about the devil!
Master Of Puppots is about drugs.
That song rocks!
nope.
No, it’s not satanic, it’s about a cocaine addiction. The drugs are his master, he can’t escape them. The line “chop your breakfast on a mirror” shows it’s about drugs especially, and once you know that, the rest of the song is obvious. Leper Messiah, however, you could take as satanic. But Master Of Puppets is totally fine.
What Loud As Hell,Fast As F*ck Said
No.
lol that song is about drugs. But Iron Maiden had “The Number of the Beast” and that didn’t make them satanic.
If it does, you’ve just infected YA with Satanism by asking a question about it 🙂 Good job!
Seriously though, no. It’s about being addicted to drugs, not worshipping Satan. The interpretation is that the “Master” is heroin or drugs in general and they make us their “puppets”, making us lose control.
If you wanted to accuse Metallica of Satanism, you could probably find a better song than MOP to back up your idea, but it’d still be wrong. I think Slayer would be a thrash band more easily associated with the Devil (South of Heaven, hmm, wonder what that’s referring to); they aren’t either, though.
So there you go, you can be heavy to the point of sounding evil but still not be diabolical.
what Deke said
Uh, no. The song is about the crippling effects of drug addiction. I can’t for the life of me fathom where you’re getting the idea that it has anything to do with Satan whatsoever.
PFFFFFFT
WHAT?
By the way the song is about cocaine not heroin…
“chop your breakfast on a mirror”
I’ve listened to that album no less than a million times [a slight exaggeration…]
And where do you get it being satanic? There are absolutely ZERO, less than zero, references so Satan.
In fact, as a whole, Metallica’s music and lyrics make far more references to God and Christianity stemming from James’ upbringing in a Christian Scientist household. He’s disenchanted with Christianity but in no way does that make him and Metallica satanists.
