Ján Sokol

Ján Sokol is a Slovak archbishop known for his conservative views and vocal opposition to certain cultural phenomena, notably heavy metal music. In 1995, he publicly protested against a concert by the legendary band Black Sabbath, arguing that their music, which he associated with satanism, could lead to spiritual harm for the youth. His stance reflects the broader tensions within Slovak society during a time of newfound freedom following the fall of totalitarianism.
