and do they worship satan?
Wow! Personally, I think you should listen to at least some of a bands music before jumping into a forum with a question like that.

Here's a clue - I don't care what religion any member of the band has, and I don't care about yours either. Satan is about as relevant as Thor. Do they worship Thor? Don't know and don't care.

Wow. Thor. Norse gods rock. By Odin.

Re: what is underworls really about?
my theory:
-karl struggled in the 90s with whether there was a god or not, and went through some pretty bad experiences, and then he discovered the good things in life, and that there was a god, and he isn't particularly religious as in going to church, but he believes in god and prays. just my theory.

and satan is very real. whether or not his name is satan or pluto or apollo or whatever, i believe there is a manifestation of evil, just as i believe there is a manifestation of good, call him God, Allah, Buddah, Zeus, whatever you wish, but that's my belief.

Re: what is underworls really about?
Has to be the work of the Devil. Definitely.

Let's face it, anything at all worth enjoying in life is a "sin", and Underworld bring me such pleasure that it can't be anything other than the Devil tempting me from the straight and narrow.

And when you think about it, there are some pretty bizarre references in their choons too. "Dirty numb angel boy" in BS Nuxx for instance. A "dirty" angel could only be a fallen angel, right?

I am also worried about subliminal messages in everything. Even when there are no lyrics at all, I find myself sometimes in a trance-like euphoric state after listening to some of Underworld's stuff. The very name itself, a reference to Hades, means hell doesn't it? I wonder if they are just softening our brains to be able to control our thoughts. I think it is even worse if you listen on headphones, cos then you are blocking out all normal stimuli and just subjecting your brain to these devilish beats and layers.

And also microwaves. Not the kind you heat your food in though, but the kind that the government transmit through so-called mobile phone antenna. I deal with those by putting aluminium foil inside my hat so that nothing can penetrate.

I would stop listening to Underworld at all if I were you. Wouldn't want to take the risk of being turned away by St Peter when the day comes.

Re: what is underworls really about?
Wait wasn't there just a thread about playing a sample backwards from one of the gigs?

Maybe they are trying to hypnotize us, guys...

Re: what is underworls really about?
oh my god...what the fuck...,they play music, make art, give good vibes...have fun

i'd hardly label Underworld as trance either...

why does everything have to come back to fucking religion *mad* now...please don't turn this into a world thread...troll off

the only religion here is Music...there is no deeper messages

well, except maybe "cloud hat remember this"
