Hosted by Fredd Carroll Where every riff tells a story. ________________________________________ EPISODE TITLE: Devil Horns & Courtroom Lies: Satanic Panic vs. Heavy Metal EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Devil Horns & Courtroom Lies: Satanic Panic vs. Heavy Metal In the 1980s, heavy metal didn’t just melt faces—it scared the hell out of America. In this episode of Headbangers History, we rip into the moral hysteria that painted bands like Judas Priest, Slayer, and Twisted Sister as tools of the Devil. From backwards messages to bogus lawsuits, from Tipper Gore's PMRC crusade to Dee Snider’s legendary mic-drop in Congress, we dive headfirst into the culture war that tried to put metal on trial. This is the era of scapegoats, sensationalism, and courtroom chaos—and metal never backed down. Featuring: • The infamous Judas Priest trial • Dee Snider vs. the Senate • The origins of the devil horns • PMRC’s Filthy Fifteen • Ozzy, Alice Cooper, and the media’s obsession with “evil” Welcome to the battle for the soul of rock ‘n’ roll. Because every riff tells a story. Follow, rate, and scream at the sky—new episodes drop weekly!
