Hell's Bells: The Dangers of Rock 'N' Roll is another in a long line of videos made by Christian group Reel to Reel Ministries, as part of the Satanic Panic that these sorts of ministries were trying to exploit in order to get parents to force their kids to give up certain things that they claim are the tools of the Devil.

Narrated by Eric Holmberg, this so-called "documentary" tries to connect rock and roll to the occult, and features rock bands that were hot at the time, using quips from interviews and even using scientific methods to prove the music is linked to violent acts like drug use, murder, and even Satan.

Yeah, I am not going to lie, people should only watch this for the soundtrack while laughing at Eric trying to make his point. While he claims to have done research, there are a lot of false statements and unproven claims that are common in these religious fear-mongering propaganda videos. Basically, he just takes various clips of music videos, songs, and even movies and TV shows (which I doubt Reel to Reel Ministries even bothered to ask for permission for clearance to use, but then again, I doubt the bands would even give their okay if they saw this) and twist the facts by saying rock music is responsible for the rise in crime and violence instead of going after the real reason these happen, all in the name of getting kids to turn to God by scaring their parents into believing what the little ones love will end up sending them on a dark path of sin. Best to only watch for the music it tries to demonize but fails miserably.

BEST SOUNDTRACK EVER... I am going to recommend to all my friends

The best and most thorough Rock Music Expose until Hells Bells II was released in 2001. Eric Holmberg gives thorough and compelling evidence that much of secular music, including Rock, Rap, Country, Alternative, Grunge and Metal line up perfectly with the Satanic Bible written by Anotn Lavey. The artists and their fans might try to dismiss, and some might wish to ignore it, but the evidence is presented in a clear, cogent and irrefutable manner. Simply compare what Lavey wrote with much of what this video shows Rock music to convey, and one is left with the inescapable conclusion that Rock Music is Satanic. I highly recommend this video for anyone that grew up in the 80's and its sequel to anyone that enjoys music.
