Setting back the Scene, one Satanic Ritual at a time

Submitted by Telepathboy

Edited by Sean

Andrea Volpa, along with the rest of his heavy metal band named ‘Beasts of Satan’, may never play music again. A 30 year stint in maximum security prison does horrible things to one’s guitar-playing abilities. The sentence brings an abrupt halt to the band’s search for a new singer. Their original singer received a “fatal hammer blow to the head”, attempting to prevent the sacrificial murder of his girlfriend.

From MSNBC.com:
“We got justice,” said Lina Marino, the mother of Chiara Marino, whom band members stabbed to death under a full moon in 1998. She was 19.
They apparently believed that the petite brunette was the personification of the Virgin Mary.


There are 10 members of the cult, including Volpe, that are to be brought up on charges. However, Volpe and ‘the gravedigger’ are the only ones as of yet convicted. Pietro Guerrieri only received 16 years for his physical efforts.

From MSNBC.com:
The Satanic killings sparked fears in Italy of a spread of devil cults, and the Vatican last week started a course for Roman Catholic priests on Satanism and exorcism in response to what the Church says is a worrying interest in the occult



If nothing else, these misdirected metalheads left their stain on the papal sheets.

I was going to write a funny article about this when it first came out, but there's really nothing more I could add to make it funnier.

In Europe, there are some pretty fucking hard metal bands. I read about these two bands who were fueding and the lead singer of one of the bands cut up one of the guys from the other band and sent the pieces to his family. They were Russian, I think.

Wasn't there a band named "Venom" or some form of that from Europe? Didn't some of them commit suicide and another was killed by a fellow member...

Yeah, I'm lost, but I remember it from Blender or something. I'm out of it today. Fucking cold medicine.

I'm wondering how this singer got so deep into the ritual that he had to actually try to intervene. What did he think they were going to do? I don't imagine it was like "Hey dude, we're gonna sacrifice your girlfriend tomorrow." "No, don't!" *thump*

There goes the 'fatal satanic rituals' scene. You hung in there a long time, buddy.

Satan has gone on-record saying "Look, those guys were fucking nuts when I met them, okay?"

I remember the band Venom - they were very "dark" and I too seem to recall some hubbub about suiceds and/or murder in and around them.

As far as this story - that's twisted. I've encountered a couple people who got into Satanism for the hedonistic aspect of the religion, but pulled out when the blood rituals got too violent and sacrifices were hinted at by some. I think these guys took it a tad bit too far. puke
