Music 101: the Devil

 

This week on Music 101, we focus on some devilishly good songs!

The Devil has been the topic of a lot of music across all genres. He even has his own dissonant musical interval named after him – the “Devil’s tritone.” This episode includes music that dates back many years, as well as songs from some of the biggest bands in rock music.
