Demogoroth Satanum, all-black black metal band | UPROXX Reports

South Africa's first all-black black metal band, Demogoroth Satanum, is overcoming the country's dark past with every tension-breaking show. “Metal represents everything that African youth want: an identity that they discovered and cherish, not one that is chosen for them” In the new South Africa, even though things are still recovering from Apartheid, there’s a new generation who have no connection to the old rules. The rules that told the last generation you can’t be who you are. The “born free” generation don’t have the same societal don’t feel bound to be something they’re not. They feel free to express themselves if it means playing music that goes against their traditional culture. Their music isn’t in protest. These guys are creating a community from scratch in an area where rock music isn’t common. In South Africa, heavy metal is traditionally a genre associated with young, white kids. So how did black metal band Demogoroth Satanum come to be and how did the town of Soweto become a scene for black punk metal bands? ----------------------------------- Click All The Links! ----------------------------------- Watch Can Virtual Reality Cure PTSD? ►► Watch Mad Max in RL ►► Watch Oil Is In The Water You Drink? ►► Watch A Mural Made Out Of Blood? ►► Watch Can We Save The Honey Bee? ►► Watch Tiny Houses For The Homeless? ►► Subscribe to UPROXX for new videos each week ►► Check Out Our Social: More UPROXX Reports ►► UPROXX: The premier news and culture platform for the digital generation.
